Decades from now, they're going to study this series of South Park.

Very much not the main takeaway, but chapeau for the opportunity taken to use pink on the captions. It really works well in the middle of that Reform blue, doesn't it?

That goal was so shambolic I can't quite believe we didn't concede it. #SaintsFC

I wholeheartedly approve this message. Even if it feels like we've very little chance of the board appointing anyone with lots of Championship experience.

I don't think any Saints fan would underestimate any opposition, or our ability to beat ourselves.

That would probably be the best outcome, all things considered! Enough to prove to the players that they can show some resolve and win games (plural), but not enough to make anyone get remotely carried away.

If anyone could find a way to do that...

What's the most Southampton outcome from this afternoon?

Beat the team that's bottom of the league in a way that convinces the board to give the under-qualified caretaker the full-time manager's job?

Or lose to the team that's bottom of the league, with one win all season?

The greatest moment in broadcast television history.

For those wondering if his talking about World Cup tickets was a recency thing with Mamdani, a very long time ago, Real Oviedo was a football club in trouble. It launched a public shares effort. I bought some, lots of people did. The new Mayor of New York is a proper damn football nerd.

Stockholm Syndrome is a real thing.

Then you might support the wrong team.

I'd almost forgotten what winning feels like - it's a lot more exhausting than I remember. #saintsfc

You've got to keep things interesting...

You wouldn't want to leave that sort of talent out on the bench, would you?

Given that tonight is the first time he's played more than 45 minutes since August, apparently so.

So the guy who was clearly our best player at the start of the season probably should've been playing a bit more? Well I never. #saintsfc

What can you give your mate who’s desperately upset on missing out on the Nobel Peace Prize?

FIFA announce new peace prize to be handed out in * can I shock you * Washington 🙀

The full transcript of Zohran Mamdani's acceptance speech is very much worth reading in full. Even if you don't agree with your politics, it's very beautifully put together.

August of which year?!

It's unlike Chat GPT to get anything wrong.

He was my first thought, but I googled him to check and it seems he's got himself a job at Brondby in Denmark.

There's a glorious irony that I clicked on the club's notification about Will Still and the app gave me this. You can't argue with it, I guess.

I'm not sure if I trust that they'll fix the app or the team first though. #saintsfc

They're calling him the most French man in history

Wanker sign?

If we don't all collectively refer to him as 'The Andrew formerly known as Prince' from now on, then we deserve nothing but misery.

Above Bar Street before the war.

Same view of Above Bar Street after the war.

Y’day I posted about Sir Oswald Mosley’s pro-Nazi British Union of Fascists in the 1930s. Some comments on Facebook expressed support for Mosley and his ideology. I know you can’t really reason with people who will publicly support fascism but this is what Mosley’s ideology did to Southampton:

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Just a decade ago, even Nick Griffin wouldn't have dared actually say this sort of shit out loud.

This kid is all of us. #SaintsFC
