Daniel Gray is a good writer and its something to read by the pool when I go on holiday in a couple of weeks

When I looked up that The End book I saw it in the google search

Fanzines were brilliant as an alternative press for about 20 years or so and then came along the interne, which made it all too easy to do on line

I used to try and buy anything I saw on a match day, something to read on the train home

Used to subscribe to the UI, bought number 5 outside the pub on Northlands Road before a game, my dad wanted to read it first as I was only 14 at the time, didn't get down to many games then as money was tight so did the subscription thing, 5 issues at a time I think?

Time for another one perhaps? A Chapel Grandads inspired design?

We keep winning at the moment when I wear it.

If we lose a game, I’ll stop wearing it for a while…..

Poll: If we were today re-instated to the play-off final, would you go on Saturday?

When we were on that unbeaten run under Russell Martin I wore the same thing on a match day
It might sound ridiculous, but it’s the way my brain is wired, I convinced myself that if I wore something different then we’d lose
Was slightly relieved when we lost at Ashton Gate as my match day attire included a woolly bobble hat and spring was fast approaching

Yep been there and done that, lucky Underpants in the 2002/03 season when we got to the Cup final, walking the same way to the ground and now counting taxis

A few years back when myself and nickso19 were the bette noirs of the Southampton social media scene (mostly in the form of outright nicking a load of content from fanzines like on the march and the ugly) we floated the idea of doing a paper one again, sadly it never got anywhere.

Mind you I’m not sure how it would go down with the younger fans these days. The humour in the game/terraces has changed massively and people get really easily offended out of things that were just a laugh back in the day.

Stuff like OTM’s “fat bloke in a replica shirt”, a direct lift I did of the “skin him danny” cartoon where Wallace was literally skinning a man on the halfway line, and even the ins and outs, sent out online/younger fans into an absolute rage, and even had some calling for us to be banned from st Mary’s.

Shame really as I loved the fanzine growing up. Them and the music mags and fashion mags really shaped my cultural life and made football about so much more than football

Im thinking of doing a little bit more on music on here, perhaps an album of the month or gig of the month, but I need contributors as I know nothing about the modern artistes

I used to like The Committee and Saints M*^*s
Some very amusing content there, even my QPR supporting mate who I was working with a lot at the time thought it was funny

Must have been about 1990 and I’d bought one of those T-shirts from the bloke on the car lot on Milton Road, put it on over my jumper and went to the match under the east stand. To my horror I saw that kind of dress referenced in the next OTM, how to look stupid was the comment I think, I’ll have to have a look as I still have them all. Never forgotten that and quite right too

I’m not sure how relevant my music is to most on here given I largely listen to jazz and modern soul when it comes to new music.

Shotters aside I’d imagine most people probably won’t have heard of the last few artists I bought the records of.

Think the ones I’ve bought this year have been sparklemami (sh*t name great music), Erykah Badu, Ezra collective, aja Monet, jasmin Myra and Brian Jackson

I’ll happily tell you what I think of the new Bunnymen lp when it’s released on Friday, quite tempted by the green splatter vinyl
But that’s hardly cutting edge!
As an aside print media really is a dying form
The only physical magazines I buy now are Paninaro and Disco Pogo which are both bi-annual. Recently cancelled my subscription to WSC as I wasn’t reading it much anymore

If you fancy doing a review of the Bunnymen album then it would make a great first album of the month, ive heard a few tracks off it including Brussels is haunted which is old school Bunnymen

I’ll see what I can do

Don’t get your hopes up up too much, it’ll be more Lester Pigott than Lester Bangs

Im sure it will be fine, it will add a bit of variety and a lot of people who read this site are old enough to remember the Bunnymen in their heyday

Ajá monet is spoken word to music produced and arranged by Meshell Ndegeocello who you might know?

Soarklmami is a vocalist who’s more on the spiritual jazz style


And Brian Jackson is probably most famous for his work with gill Scott heron. He wrote the bottle with him amongst others, but his latest lp is produced by the masters at work
