Impressed with how Tonda is going after this game. Playing first team and top subs.

Big question For me this is why are there loads of seats in the Saints stand free?

Game was a sellout on the ticket app. Full away end looks to have been available tho.

Did club not take full possible allocation to save a few quid?

Fairly evenly matched do far. Just hope we don't do the classic Saints play well in the first half, let one in in the second and then run around like headless chickens

We started well, Fulham came back into it. We have had several really good chances.

Scienza and THB look Prem ready players. Just hope it's with us😬

Wise. Got to keep him fit and available for the '6 pointers' in the run in.

Today - 27/02/2026 - BBC Sounds News and current affairs, including Sports Desk, Weather and Thought for the Day.

Listen from 1h 35m 20 seconds in as Nick Robinson goes for Zack Polanski and then strokes David Bull's belly. Seriously, have a listen and see if you think it's what neutrality sounds like.

Look I’ve been a critic of Zack Polanski but the treatment of him after his historic win was absolutely disgraceful by the BBC.

It really was obvious to all those watching and listening that the BBC interviewers have an agenda. It’s appears to be a Daily Mail and X agenda.

Just so obvious now.

I agree. BBC interviewers always seemvery eager to champion a reform framed talking point as 'plenty of people think' - look at the actual results, 2/3 of voters appeared to not think that.

I would like to hear the BBC now push back against these talking points, rather than just parrot them.

Labour's ugliest-ever political strategy has utterly failed The Gorton and Denton by-election must be a wake-up call for the party – or it is doomed

Labour's strategy to appease reform voters has failed.

They will never be 'reform' enough to appeal to the reform voters and will lose the moderate center to the Greens/lib Dems.

Think again, quickly.

2 things we were all wrong about:

1) Getting annoyed at that player who complained direct to the board about the manager

2) Cyle Larin not being a good striker

The king is not king because he is good.

He is king because he is next.

But if the line of succession can be edited when someone becomes unacceptable, then birth is no longer the source of legitimacy.

Acquiesce is.
