Thread | Will there be any pubs left?
by Southamptonfan at 09:49 23 Sep 2026
Another pub closing down in Eastleigh. We pay some of the highest taxes in the world on alcohol, and some.the highest taxes in general. Yet the pubs are all closing. Businesses just can't afford to continue anymore. So depressing. Perhaps Burnham is protecting the pubs in the north?

Thread | Worst Ever Saints Centre Forward
by SaintNick at 09:01 22 Sep 2026
Who is the worst Centre Forward that has played for Saints
1. Keep emotion out of it, Gavin Bazunu is far from the worst keeper that we have had and believe it or not Damion Downs is not the worst centre forward.
2. They have had to have played for the first team more than just a couple of games in an emergency, genuine first team contenders only.

Thread | The Club is waving the white flag
by PatfromPoole at 22:04 21 Sep 2026
Why are we not threatening to appeal any potential sanction the FA may impose on us?
We are being all nicey, nicey. The mantra is "please don't punish us", rather than going on
The interview tomorrow by Parsons will be the final straw. The extracts I have heard already show him to be completely out of his depth.
Christ knows why he is still in his highly-paid position.
This is going to be just as big a shitshow by this Club's management as in May. |

Thread | Album Review- Apples For Isaac
by shotters at 19:42 21 Sep 2026
Whilst I don't claim to be the biggest Echo And The Bunnymen fan, I do own one of their records, 2005's excellent Siberia, so when I saw their 13th lp and first for 12 years was being released, I was really interested to hear it
Before listening and doing a little bit of research I read that Clem Burke (of Blondie) played drums on most of the tracks and Will Sergeant played very little part in the recording of this lp which came as rather a surprise to me
After listening a few times ,the opening track Take Me By The Hand and especially Brussels Is Haunted sounded like what you'd expect for a Bunnymen record, what surprised me more was the reflective mood of the lyrics on tracks like An Unstoppable Force and the closing ...We Prayed In The Dark.
What I didn't expect was to hear a jaunty parping saxophone on Lab Rats Run, probably the poorest track on this 11 track lp which clocks in at 37 minutes overall
In summary, like The Fall, you know what you're getting with a Bunnymen lp. Lab Rats Run aside, it's a really good record. Plenty to like for long term fans and more casual listeners like myself and it's really great that a band, whatever version this is now, this far into their career are still making new music when they could easily fall into the greatest hits circuit and tarnish their legacy, yes I'm looking at you Shaun Ryder.
To answer the question How d'ya like them apples?
Quite a lot actually 7/10 |

Thread | Don't you just hate these International Breaks
by GRIM at 16:24 21 Sep 2026
One month into the season & everything stops for pointless International Matches.
I just hate them & really do not enjoy watching International football.
I see that a shed load of players have already dropped out of the England squad pretending to be injured or tired.
I'm convinced that some clubs ( not all) give players incentives to not play for their country ( perhaps a bit controversial or just cynical) but that what it looks like to me.
The desire to play for England is not what it used to be.
Micky Channon said that he would have walked barefoot on broken glass to get to Wembley and play for his Country. |

Thread | Bin the blue away kit
by andoverpierre at 07:44 21 Sep 2026
Please bin the blue away kit IMHO i think this doesnt help us as it blends in with hoarding and general crowd colours when you are at pitch level its harder to spot than the yellow we used to play in , and its too much like Pompey what does everyone else think |

Thread | Larin looked tired yesterday
by grumpy at 21:10 20 Sep 2026
I like Larin but he needs a partner up front.
We missed THB as well.
Our failure to finish teams off looks like ruining any chance of going up.
On a positive note I thought Flynn Downs was magnificent.

Tonda got them wrong yesterday and it cost us
I like Fellows there’s a good attacking player in there but defensively he lets us down time and again not that kind of player and too weak and it happens again yesterday
As for Dobbin, well another one with a good agent possibly the same as Archer?!?
If only we had Brighton’s recruitment team |

Thread | Five things about Wrexham
by PatfromPoole at 09:01 20 Sep 2026
1. Pretty much everything that could go wrong for my group did. We had late trains diverted all around South West London, were chucked off trains twice (!!!!) which inexplicably stopped at a station and didn't carry on, only had 45 minutes in the pub before the game (should have been 2 and a half hours), and er, we lost....
2. Wrexham Lager is shite. Suffered that on the train back.
3. The blue kit has to go.
4. Matsuki should never have been taken off for Fellows. Edozie was just Edozie. Matsuki is the only one of those 3 who is up to the level we need.
5. Why do some fans clap the team off after games like that? |

Relegation from division 1 confirmed today
I’ve noticed that the bbc match reports have referred to us as Rose And Crown, makes us sound like a pub team which on reflection is probably rather apt
Been following country cricket since the late 80’s, used to go to Northlands Road with my dad and grandad and cannot remember a poorer county side. Quite shocking when you think we were 1 wicket away from winning the championship at Lancashire not that long ago |

Not the greatest goalkeeper to play for Saints, just 7 games in the Championship at the tail end of 2006/07, very sad to hear he has died at the age of 57.
The very model of a journeyman footballer he played 638 league games for 9 different clubs and 739 games when you add cup games. |
