David James Plays In Southampton Sunday League
at 20:36 18 Mar 2024

My mates son plays for this side, so I knew it was going to happen, apparently they donated a load of used football boots to charity and David James was the parton, so they sent a cheeky letter asking if he would play for them and he agreed.

Scored the winner too, I was never a fan of him as a player, especially when he played for Pompey, but fair play to him for this

Saints Players You Have Met In Strange Surroundings
at 10:16 15 Mar 2024

Following on from the revelation that Will Smallbone lets the train take the strain, who has met a Saints player in somewhere they didn't expect to do so.

As mentioned I recently met Shane Long in the toilets of the Grapes Pub in Mathew Street Liverpool, a famous venue as this was not only the place that the Beatles used to drink when they played at the nearby Cavern Club, but where Pete Best went to drown his sorrows after being sacked by the Beatles.

I wonder whether Shane was considering that he was having a p*ss at the same urinals that the Fab Four would have (They looked like they hadn't changed) when he was accosted by a very well refreshed me .

Todays victim is Flynn Downes Ill start with

Downes Downes he is Flynn Downes

To the tune of Status Quo's Down Down

Its a simple repeated chant so shouldnt trouble our singing sections to learn and it is also only three chords should anyone wish to strum along on guitar in the Itchen before throwing their plectrum at the away section

Saints Players You Never Saw Play Live
at 21:57 12 Mar 2024

Im not talking about those that you never saw because they were youngsters or you werent bothering going at the time, but those that never got a game.

The obvious one for me was Martin Caceres, joined after we lost both Fonte who left and Van Dijk injured in January 2017, Caceres was out of contract and a free agent and we had just Yoshida and the recent Premier League debutant Jack Stephens in the centre of defence.

Strangely Caceres would play just one game away at Middlesbrough on 13th May he looked the part there but wouldnt play again, he was still only 29 and went on to play for a number of clubs in Italy and is still playing for LA Galaxy this season.

Strange that he never got a game, if we had played him in the League cup final we might have won

Songs For Saints Players Day 1
at 10:29 11 Mar 2024

We have 3 weeks of no game, so plenty of time to think up some songs for our squad, lets start day 1 with Kyle Walker Peters and then run through the outfield players in order

Obviously the Last Xmas by Wham song would fit his name, but anyone got anything else

Saints First Team Squad Donate £10k To Saints Foundation
at 12:45 8 Mar 2024

The first thing I thought was good on em ! But them I did a bit of maths, £10k divided by 25 squad members = £400 each.

If we say they average around £25k a week each in wages then they are donating around 1.5% of their weekly wage to charity.

If we say the average man in the street earns around £25,000 a year then in relative terms this is the equivalent of the average man donating £7.21 to the Saints foundation.

Call me cynical, but I don't think this is a very good effort from our squad

They left Preston at 11.30am this morning, they would probably have been well South of Birmingham when they found out the match might be off and by the time it was called off probably somewhere near Oxford

Postponement Shows Moving Away Fans Is Folly
at 16:32 6 Mar 2024

The fact that a fire so close to St Mary's has meant postponement to the game highlights the limited access routes to the stadium at the Chapel End, if that warehouse had gone up at 3,30pm on a Saturday during a game with a volatile away following, how would we have safely evacuated the Chapel End and indeed the away fans

Southampton Can End 13 Year Curse If The Beat Preston
at 11:56 5 Mar 2024

Brilliant headline, I thought that this would actually be about some sort of ancient druid putting a curse on Saints beating Preston at St Mary's.

The article then reveals that the actual curse is that we haven't played them at St Mary's since 2011 when we beat them in the League cup 2-1 with Jos Hooiveld and Adam Lallana scoring

Clickbait of the first degree I wont even post the link

Played For Both Saints & Preston
at 10:52 5 Mar 2024

Ill start the ball rolling with a hard one, I suspect a few of you might not remember Francis Burns, played 120 or so games for Manchester United before joining Saints in the summer of 1972 aged 24.

He would play just 21 League games for the club plus 3 in the League cup alternating with Joe Kirkup for the left back spot, with the debut of Steve Mills at the end of that season meaning his opportunities would be even less, he left the club after just one season and joined his old United team mate Bobby Charlton as his first signing as Preston manager.

He would play over 300 games for the club before leaving at the age of 33 for Shamrock Rovers in Ireland, ;ater emigrating to Australia
