The more people who post on here, the better.
Makes it a more interesting place.
We often disagree, but hope to see you back here soon. |

I was in a group of 6 Saints fans in Berlin last year for the Euros final.
The day before the game, we were sat in a bar next to a group of 8 or 9 Skates fans at the next table.
All was amicable.
I suspect for England home games it would be quite a bit less friendly. |

At least with your caps entitlement, you should get CAT 3 tickets, mate.
Fair play to you. |

It does make me worry about the Fratton game, as the template of how to beat us is essentially the way Portsmouth play. |

The first World Cup I went to was France in 1998.
My first game was one I won't forget; England v Tunisia in Marseille.
I suspect a fair few on here will know fellow Saints / Eastleigh fans Clive Foley and Pete Tait.
We took my car on a ferry from Skatesmouth to Le Havre, and I drove Clive and Pete to Marseille, a heck of a drive.
The game was on a Monday lunchtime. We arrived in Marseille on the Saturday afternoon, with no digs booked (don't think Skyscanner or Expedia were around in those days...) and just as general chaos was descending on Marseille, with 30,000 England fans there and a lively bunch of Algerians, Moroccans and Tunisians waiting for us.
My first experience of tear gas, and being offered money by a tabloid photographer to lob a bottle at some north Africans at the old port (he was told to go forth).
I remember it being quite big news back home at the time. One of the other guys we travelled with (not a Saints fan) rang his missus on the Sunday and she demanded he come home straight away. He obviously ignored her.
The game almost seemed an irrelevance, but we won 2-0 on a pretty hot day in a great atmosphere.
I got the England bug that weekend.
Have since been to World Cups in Russia and Qatar.
Not sure what I am doing next year, but strongly inclined to give it the swerve. [Post edited 14 Dec 10:57]

You veering into discussion about the middle classes again, Nick.....

My Dad used to work with Tony Funnell when he moved to the Poole area.
I blame Mick Channon's windmill celebration when I was a young kid watching The Big Match on ITV. That did it for me. |

Seems to have done quite a lot of press stuff over the last couple of days.
A two-page article in today's Echo, and he has separately spoken to Solent.
Strange how he doesn't seem to do this stuff after a few defeats.......
Rene House from the Echo had been trying to speak with him for weeks when things weren't going so well, and Spors was mysteriously unavailable. |

He gets sent off about 10 times a year.
At least Jack Stephens’ wages when he’s banned aren’t quite so financially wounding. |

Had an Email this afternoon from the ESTC with all the details.
I love watching England, but the prices are utterly obscene.
Cheapest ticket is 4,000 US Dollars for the Final.
I did have my eye on the Last 16 game and the quarterfinal, but increasingly minded not to bother at all. |

This is the irony of it all.
Most of our fans are far more likely to get involved in fisticuffs with themselves rather than with any set of opposing fans. |

So was Calum Fcuking Davenport.
If ever a signing typified the uselessness of Redknapp, that was it. |

Thread | Music fan nerdy stuff

I went to Camden Roundhouse last night to see The Charlatans.
Excellent as usual.
I realised today that when I see them at Bournemouth Academy next April, it will be my 10th time of seeing them live (including at festivals).
I can't think that I have seen another act more times than that over the years.
Does anybody have similarly nerdy numbers for seeing a particular band / singer live? |

Nondescript full-backs aplenty there.

Google tells me that it's originally a Dean Martin song.
I think it's
When the Samba Rhythm starts to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Tom Fellows running down the wing
Scoring goals, to make Southampton sing
Na na na na etc...... |
