Obviously if your town has not club you have to support one near by, so I think it is more about region than the town/city itself

I would imagine so, but as I say why do i need a phone its just a distraction, if im watching a game i don't want goal alerts from other games, I want to concentrate on the game i'm watching.

If someone needs to phone me urgently, most of them know who I will be with and can get hold of me through them

Good Quote From Danny Dyer
at 18:13 26 Oct 2026

I can't argue with this.

“The team you support, picks you. I see loads of people following teams they’ve got absolutely no connection to. You should be supporting the side you’ve been born to support. If you’re not from Liverpool, I just don’t get why you’d want to support Liverpool.

Yeah, your able to choose whoever you want, but you’ll never get that true feeling of being in a ground where everyone’s from the same place, speaks the same, and lives it the same way.

That’s what it’s like being a West Ham fan. We all sort of know each other, and these big clubs turn up expecting that they will take three points. Most of the time they do, but every now and then you pull off a massive result, and it means everything to the lads in the ground.

If you’re a Cockney supporting Liverpool, you’ll never get that feeling. Singing songs about places you’ve got no connection to, it just doesn’t sit right with me. I’ve always found it strange.

And when you’ve got two Londoners, one supporting United and the other Liverpool, arguing about their rivalry… it just feels off. That rivalry comes from history, from the docks, from working-class roots. It runs deep.

If you’re from somewhere like Colchester, go and support Colchester. That’s your club.”

It wasnt a dig at Peretz, I praised him up and said he was man of the match for the saves he made, i have given him full credit for his performances since the international break, but you can't overlook other areas of the game.

I dont care about what Gavin Bazunu does now he has left the club, I only care about our own players performances

One of them is correct, but I think the other one has only seen one of the goals

If Wilcox had stayed then firstly we wouldn't have signed the dross that we did in the summer of 2024.

Secondly he would have counselled Russell Martin about the way he needed to play in the Premier League to get the best out of his players and if Martin hadn't been listening he would have sacked him a lot earlier.

The real issue wasn't so much the style of play, but the degree to which it was implemented, with no leeway allowed for the players to clear their lines.

Tonda likes his team to play from the back and not hoof it, but he gives his player the freedom to play out if in trouble.

Ross Steward could have played in 12 League games for Swansea, he has been unfit an not in the squad for 8 of them.

He had been an unused sub in another 2 and came off the bench just twice the first for 9 mins and the second for 25.

I agree we miss Stewart and that Mubama is not the answer, but if we had kept Stewart, he would not have been much use to us it would seem, although in fairness I think his agents brought it on him by trying to hold out for the best deal money wise instead of the best club playing wise, meaning he had no pre season and Swansea have not managed his injury as we did.

We need to get through to January and then make two key signings in the areas we need

Some good points well made, Dobbin scored regularly in the Championship last season and gives us different options.

I think Mubama is not rated by Tonda, I would not be surprised for him to return to City in January and we get in a replacement on loan

Take your tin hat off, he wasn't at the club when Bazunu arrived in the summer of 2022

"On 20 January 2023, Wilcox was appointed director of football at Southampton. Wilcox joined Southampton in the summer after serving a notice period with City"

I think I must be one of a select band of Saints supporters who have seen Downs score, we were discussing this on the train on Saturday.

My moment came in the pre season friendly at Espanyol's training ground at the start of last season and there could not have been more than 10 Southampton supporters in the ground..

However I wasn't there at Braunschweig to see him double his Saints tally, there were probably 60 or so there to see that.

I would hazard a guess that there are no more than 3 people who have seen him score both, some of you on here will be well aware of who they will be

Im happy for him to do that at United, thankfully he didn't do that at Saints, when he arrived we had to build a new squad and he did so, Ryan Manning, Ross Stewart, Shea Charles came in permanently and then he used the loan market well.

David Brookes, Flynn Downes, Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Ryan Fraser & Joe Rothwell all came on loan and played big parts in our Promotion.

Our issues back in the Premier League all came because Wilcox had left and had not been replaced

A great professional performance
at 22:01 25 Oct 2026

I dont think that was Peretz's best overall game, he made some great saves, but he also flapped a lot at crosses when they packed the box, he also spilled one of their shots.

Still a good performance from him and possibly man of the match, but we rode our lucj a little too much for comfort

1. Yes the place is a nightmare and the stewards are clueless, I had my ticket on someone elses phone and couldnt get on to the seating area to with him in the crowd, you would think I was trying to break into Fort Knox the lengths they went to stop me walking on to the lower seating area without a ticket. They were threatening to throw me out for not having a ticket till he turned up.

2. I was going to go to howling Hops, but we started in a pub the other side of Hackney Wick station and it was so good that we stayed there drinking a selection of bottled German beers.

3. As I said in number 1 it was ridiculous

4. You are right there the ground was about 3/4 empty by the 75th minute and half empty by the 85th . they seemed to have little faith in their team.

5. They should fear us, but watching the highlights we got away with a lot, Peretz made some great saves, but also flapped a lot at crosses in the 6 yard box and missed some as well.
