It hasn't been his year...
at 21:27 24 Jul 2023

Can't really think of him as a former Saint, but wish the bloke well anyway.

Another Saint bites the dust. I make it only John Sydenham & Terry Paine still going strong from the 62-63 semi-final team. Must be something about being a winger.

England vs. Country where kids are being shot in the streets
at 09:02 21 Nov 2022

This is what happened to a friend of mine who was peacefully demonstrating in Rasht in Northern Iran last month:

It took him hours to find a doctor to treat him privately because security forces were patrolling the hospitals. He reckons he got off lightly.

In spite of Hajsafi's comments at the w/e, I'm not sure we should be kicking a ball around against a country where the regime is shooting its own citizens & providing arms to illegal invaders.

Weird view
at 14:50 18 Jul 2022

This is cool.

FC Köln put a bodycam on a couple of players for their pre-season game against AC Milan.

This is a view of a goal from Tim Lemperle’s angle.

Could be the future but not sure if I like it. Might be interesting to watch a few incidents in a game, though.

Saints' record signings
at 12:27 3 Jun 2022

I was looking at this list of Saints' 10 most expensive signings:

https://www.hampshirelive.news/sport/football/football-news/osvaldo-boufal-lemin

The only real successes in there are Ings & maybe Adams. Some have been total disasters. Is it just poor recruitment on our part or are buys in that price range (15-20 million) inherently risky? To be worth that much they've obviously got something about them but maybe there's a reason, like attitude problems, why we've been able to get them.

Seeing we're likely to be shopping in that market again, I hope we make a better fist of it. We can't afford many more flops.

KWP for England
at 22:14 26 Mar 2022

What did we think of his 62 mins on the pitch? Had a big hand in the first goal with an interception but a bit disappointed that he didn't take players on more often seeing he was playing as an out-and-out wing back.

Solid enough though & hopefully did enough to get another chance.

FIA Ukraine
at 21:26 1 Mar 2022

What a surprise that FIA aren't toeing the line & banning Russian drivers - as long as they compete as “neutrals”. No doubt it's all down to the money in F1. Neutral or not, I'm sure a lot of Russians will associate with Mazepin. The Haas team also happens to be sponsored by Mazepin's father's company.

I know you can't blame all Russians for Putin's insanity but these aren't normal times and sport should show a united front. (Same goes for Winter paralympics.)

Martinelli sending off
at 22:05 10 Feb 2022

Very unusual sending off in the Wolves vs Arsenal game tonight. Martinelli tried to stop a Wolves player taking a throw-in & then immediately chopped down the guy who received the ball. He was given 2 yellows at the same time. They could only find a handful of times it's happened in World football.

Probably 2 good results for Saints.

Inevitable I guess, but still a bit sad:

Always came across as a genuine & intelligent guy. Hopefully he'll go on to achieve something in another career.

Big result for Saints!
at 23:07 19 Dec 2021

(Women, that is.)

I know it's not everybody's cup of tea but Oxford inflicted a first defeat of the season on table-topping Ipswich. If Saints win their 2 games in hand they'll be back at the top.

Always looked like it would come down to Ipswich v Saints on the last day of the season.

Salisu not going to AFCON

Great news if it's true. He's not the finished article but I'd fear for Saints if we lost him for up to 6 games.

I think we can spare Djenepo.

That's if it all goes ahead...
