Very good if you like your beer.

Didn’t JDT alway say it tongue in cheek with that smirk on his face?

Behave Phil, he won’t be going to Everton in a million years.

Wasn’t sold out last season, 4,300.

Obviously it all went very sour for JDT, but not sure how anybody can say it wasn’t far better than most of the shite we’ve seen since those clowns bought the club. Is that a low bar? Obviously, but we were a very decent side for this level in his first season.

His talent has got him through the academy system to this level, but to thrive in a Championship midfield you need the graft too - does he want it enough? If he’s not careful he’ll blink and be in the lower divisions and he’l be like ‘oh, how did that happen?!’

Not making much of an impression with the Saints fans… https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/topic/60993-ben-brereton-diaz/page/4/

At least they’ve now ditched the cheap voddy MOTM awards

🔊“*Mumble*, *mumble, *mumble*… Ohashi!”

Thought it was ‘champing’ in British English but more often ‘chomping’ in American English? So a British newspaper’s sub editor should be picking that up… but I don’t think they exist any more in local papers.

Insisting on being allowed to bring in experienced heads has been the single best decision he’s made. Finally an end to the jam tomorrow ‘model’ ‘increasing value’ ‘parhways’ approach we’ve had for far too long that only ever sees you spinning your wheels (at best). This league is all about the here and now with a spine of streetwise pros.

Took 3,800 instead of 5k. Sold those out on Friday and don’t get that extra 1k until Monday. Though I suppose as they don’t let you buy them from the ticket office anyway they wouldn’t have been able to benefit from impulse buys from buzzing fans on the way out regardless.

They don’t want to open and man the away ticket office for a couple of hours is I imagine the crux of it.

What I really want to know is did he get his ST in the end? It was the mystery of the summer.

Exactly tomphil. Yet another one for next week’s FF @only2garners @K-Hod Along with why you can’t just walk into the shop and buy an away ticket when they literally have them piled up behind the counter.

League 2 keepers and centre halves trying one twos at the edge of their six yard box, I mean what could possibly go wrong

We are a second division club with a 31,000 capacity ground, but only 9,000 ST holders, so of course there’s plenty of seats left.

Crackers way to run a business, especially one that still has a sizeable culture of walk-up sales.

For all his charm I don’t think he ever really won over the fanbase. ‘Dicking about at the back wi it’ etc. Eustace has slotted in no problem with the fans from what I’ve seen.

Walking down the steps at FT tomorrow. ‘You fancy PNE?’ ‘Yeah let’s nip ticket office now’ ’Two for PNE please’ ’No’.

Yep, exactly the same for me. Bought on the phone yesterday morning as I could not fathom online (and I’m no Luddite). Never used to have any issues with the website. ’Can I pick up after the game on Saturday?’ ’Oh they won’t be ready by then, we’ll have to post them’ 🤷‍♂️

The FA have seen other national sides promote from within with success, they also worship the last fella who they’d have given a contract for life to if they could. And at the end of the day if they aren’t going foreign and if Howe didn’t fancy it, who else is out there?

Wembley build loans still needs paying off, also see FA Cup Semi Finals.

Already in the FA tent and he’s been handed a run of fixtures in the Nations League second tier they’ll cruise through - it’s his.

Sweden won both Nations League games this week, so not sure we can really make a judgement either way yet.
