Song of the Day
at 10:12 16 Mar 2024

Is this a weekday-only caper?

Waiting with bated breath for the next player selection.

It’s like waiting for Nick’s THE VERDICT after Saints have lost….

This may lend itself to a ditty for our star left-back.

On a related note, I see that Liverpool's keeper is also Irish, which means Bazunu will be getting splinters on the bench.

And also Sammie Sczmodics from Blackburn is in the squad. He is obviously Irish.......

SONG DU JOUR

Who is the chosen player today?

I have been desperate to live up to my wholly-merited reputation as the Sandbanks Bernie Taupin, but I need to know who my gushing admiration is for.

Clearly wants to stay with Saints.

Well you would, wouldn't you?

Must be a novelty to play in front of a crowd.

Would be marvellous if Brooks felt the same; sadly can't see it though....

Saints - really solid support over the last 10 years
at 16:37 13 Mar 2024

I know that we often like to think that our support isn't that great, but I think these stats would indicate otherwise.

I also think that if we do stay down in the Championship, our support won't tail off that much next season, if at all.

I haven't enjoyed a season so much in ages, and whilst we obviously have concerns about losing all our top players, hopefully we could still compete.

Anyway, enjoy these stats, Monsieur 130...

I see the King of Phlegm has got himself in hot water again.

Think SKY might come under a fair bit of pressure to finally bin him off.

EFL Deal rejected
at 12:50 13 Mar 2024

I'm not sure this story has had that much coverage, but I think it deserves it.

Quite interesting to look at this now that our feet are well and truly in the EFL camp.

It just baffles me that Boscombe, a very small club so horrendously run over the years, see themselves as one of the big players who can reject the idea of providing more support to the EFL.

Irrelevant arseholes.

I'm sure there would be broad agreement on here that the Song of the Day for a Player initiative has been an utter triumph.

Sheff Wed v Leeds tonight
at 11:46 8 Mar 2024

Bit torn on this one, in truth.

Part of me obviously wants Leeds to lose as it gives us more chance of finishing in the top 2.

But another part of me thinks we would be better off if Leeds win, as we would probably have more joy playing Ipswich in the play-offs than Leeds.

Of course, we could end up in the play-offs anyway, and stuff it up in the semi-finals, therefore not having to play either Leeds or Ipswich.

Might as well plump for a Sheff Wed win then, I guess.

Whereas I would have no mixed emotions for the Cardiff v Ipswich game tomorrow lunchtime. Definitely want Cardiff to win that.

Saturday's game - just play it at a neutral ground

Leyton Orient would be my pick, not been there before.

Valuable income for Orient, and a day out on the sauce for us.

Available windows for re-arranged games
at 19:17 6 Mar 2024

Looks to me that there are 3 available windows for them to re-arrange the Preston and Leicester games for (I’ll assume the Sunderland game happens on Saturday):-

Tues 16 / Wed 17 April
Tues 23 / Wed 24 April
Tues 30 April / Wed 1 May

Of course the last of those 3 slots is just before Leeds away.

It is quite possible that SKY would make us go to Leicester just before the Leeds game to make it some kind of end of season thriller.

Have to say, if we are out of the race for the top 2, and those games could be celebrations in front of our eyes for both Leicester and Leeds, I will be saving my cash for the play-offs.

One to watch out for in Hunt's Budget tomorrow.

Could have quite an impact on the game if they change the rules on this, particularly in the Prem.

Of course, bit awkward given the finances of Hunt's boss's wife......

Ipswich away

Predictably now on SKY, 5.30pm kick-off on Easter Monday.

Could have been worse, I suppose.

Hopefully Downes, Fraser and KWP will all be fit.

Bottom 3
at 11:25 25 Feb 2024

Millwall would have been in the bottom 3 if we had beaten them yesterday.

However, Stoke are now in the bottom 3.

Not many of us would miss an away trip there next season.

Are now at the time of the season where results are less predictable, as yesterday showed.

Really tight in the bottom-half of the table.

Hardly anybody in the League has nothing to play for at the moment.

5 things I have noticed this week
at 10:08 25 Feb 2024

1. Leeds and Leicester are miles ahead of us. Their game on Friday was an exhilarating watch. Played at pace, exactly what we don’t do.

2. We seem to now have very little goal threat. Not signing a striker in January will not be a surprise to many on here as costing us dear.

3. Russell Martin is now resorting to bizarre decisions, both in terms of players’ positions on the pitch and his substitutions. Yesterday was almost surreal.

4. They say a player’s true value is recognised when they are injured. And so it is with Flynn Downes. Relative to our financial position, we spent a fortune on Shea Charles, who cannot be relied on to deputise. That one is on Russell Martin.

5. A week is a long time in football. After the elation at West Brom, realism seems to have set in. Playing football at walking pace is not a method for success.


Something has to change.
