What do you know about anything? Your irrational hate campaign against JWP showed what a sad, ill informed and vindictive individual you are. Your views are worthless. [Post edited 5 Sep 15:05]

Reply | !!!!!!!!!! Russell Martin out !!!!!!!!!!!
at 12:24 2 Sep 2024
I would just like to point out that virtually all of you lot wrote off Saints and Russell Martin at roughly this point last season, and again before the play-offs. So just carry on whingeing and hopefully things will turn around soon. That's all. |

Not sure how Soton have got their town planning so disastrously wrong down the years. It's not as though there's no other towns and cities to take inspiration from. I went to Gunwharf recently and had a wander along the seafront. Although much of Pompey is a bit of a dump, the waterfront area is lovely and the real focal point of the city. It puts Soton to shame. Southampton does have a chance to do something special with the redevelopment of Town Quay and Mayflower Park (if it ever happens) but you just know that it'll inevitably end up as some half-arsed carbuncle with the usual 'shops, hotels, bars and michelin-starred restaurants' that the developers and investors love, but no-one else really needs or wants. |

Reply | Who Has Had To Move Their Seat From Last Season
at 19:12 21 Aug 2024
Our seats were in the family stand so we had to move. Shame really as we've had them for nearly 10 years. When I first got a season ticket for my lad I remember the groundsman let us sneak into the stadium to select the best seats. Since then, from those seats we saw both bad times and very bad times. And the occasional good time too. |

Looked to me like it was more of a coming together of heads than a proper headbutt. In fact, if the Newcastle lad had dived to the floor at exactly the same moment I wonder if both players would have been sent off. A bit like the classic boxing match episode of Porridge when Lenny Godber and his opponent had both been told to take a dive in round two so both of them hit the canvas simultaneously. |

When things got really terrible on the pitch Stuey was often the only player worth watching, the only one who wanted to get the ball and run with it, and the only one who had the potential to do something exciting. I for one shall miss him. |

Given what it was originally invented for, I would suggest that the only transfer target the word 'radar' should truly apply to would be Gerd Müller. |

On the all-red (with black and white shoulders) Patrick 1985 centenary shirt the individual letters of 'Draper Tools' were badly stuck on. Unfortunately after a while the D and the second R on mine fell off and so I had to go round with 'RAPE TOOLS' on my shirt. My mum eventually sewed the letters back on and I'm pleased to say they remain there to this day. |

Did you go to the Schindler Factory museum? That gives an excellent history of how Jews and non-Jews were treated.
And I agree that Auschwitz wasn't as harrowing as I thought it'd be, although the walk through the gas chamber (albeit a reconstructed one) is pretty chilling, and the cabinets of human hair, belongings, etc are incredibly sad. My abiding memory is standing at the spot where the victims were herded off the trains and 'selected' either for work or the gas chambers. Looking back from that spot towards the infamous entrance block with the railway track passing through it you actually feel you are at probably the most infamous place in the history of the human race. |

To Auschwitz yes. The bus wasn't full but it's probably best to book up first. Booking online should have been quite easy, but being an IT dinosaur I somehow managed to book the outward and return journeys the wrong way round, but they gave me an immediate refund and I re-booked straight away. The tours of the camps are quite long, and because it's so busy they do hurry you along, especially at the Auschwitz 1 site. At the end of the Auschwitz 2 tour you're allowed to wander around the site unaccompanied. As someone else said, it's an incredibly thought-provoking place. The memory of seeing the cabinets full of the victims' suitcases, shoes, spectacles and human hair will stay with me for a very long time. Walking through one of the gas chambers and adjoining furnace is certainly a very eerie experience. |

Lovely city, great nightlife and fairly cheap for food and drink. We stayed at a budget hotel quite close to the station and it was a great base for wandering into the city centre or getting the train or bus to places outside the city. We visited the salt mines and did all the Schindlers List stuff such as visiting Schindlers Factory which is now an excellent museum, the Jewish ghetto, and of course Auschwitz which is a couple of hours bus ride away. Loads of companies offer tours of the salt mines and Auschwitz but it's much cheaper and more convenient to book tickets and travel yourself. I gather it's well worth going to watch one of the two local football teams, Cracovia or Wisla, but unfortunately neither were playing at home while we were there. There's a waxwork museum in the centre of Krakow that's so bad it's actually quite good apparently. |

Reply | Jack Stephens
at 09:54 29 May 2024
It was interesting that while everyone was else was charging off down the pitch to celebrate with the fans, Jack Stephens and KWP had the humility to console the distraught Leeds players. The shot of Jack with the Leeds guy reminded me of the iconic Freddie Flintoff/Brett Lee photo from the 2005 Ashes.
Jack plays some stupid passes (and did so twice in the first few minutes on Sunday) but what he brings to the team often outweighs the odd mistake. Trouble is, most people don't see the good things and only pick up on the bad. No-one will ever know if we would have gone up without the much maligned 'shoehorning of Jack Stephens'. Indeed, maybe we would have even gone up automatically. But by hook or by crook we did go up, and so Russell Martin's decision has been vindicated. I doubt if Jack will change, and no doubt his odd mistake will be capitalised even more in the Premier League next season, but I hope that everyone might cut him a bit of slack if and when it does. |

I was at the car park bash and I didn't get the impression he wants to play for West Ham. I got the impression he was so pissed he didn't know where he was, let alone who he wants to play for. |

I thought their fans were incredible inside the stadium, especially just before the match with their scarves and the Marching On song. Outside the stadium was a bit different though. Maybe we just got off of the tube at the wrong time but virtually every Leeds fan on Wembley Way seemed to be a pissed up middle aged bloke acting like they owned the place and constantly singing that "we are Leeds, we are vile...' song about the PM. |
