Judging from this thread, Glastonbury seems to have caused a lot of anger and unhappiness so it's just as well it's not happening next year. |

The opiates of the masses are ephemeral things and for each person, the most memorable are the ones they experienced when they were most receptive to them: in their teens and 20s. |

You're showing your age there, Gennaro. Pulp are in their 60s, but they did at least have one memorable song, Common People, and Jarvis Cocker seems like a nice person. He reminds me of Bill Nighy.
Let's face it: it's all only pop music so we shouldn't take it too seriously, and, unlike classical music, it will all be forgotten a hundred years from now. [Post edited 29 Jun 11:38]

Matty Healy is staggering across the stage, completely off his head.

I said we should get him last year. But, I guess they won't let us have any of their good players and our scouts wouldn't have noticed him anyway.

Rômulo from Göztepe would be good. He's scoring a a lot more goals there than Matsuki and Juan. I think Matsuki and Juan are the ones we can bring back in January as they are on loan from us. Rômulo is on loan from a Brazilian club. His loan contract in Turkey doesn't expire until June, but I guess we should take priority. We probably won't though. Maybe we could swap a couple of our current so-called strikers for him. [Post edited 27 Jun 16:41]

Already the most season tickets the club has ever sold for a Championship season or any other second tier season in its history. |

We could sign Ayoub El Kaabi, who is a much better striker than Onuachu.
One of the reasons it would be great to keep Ramsdale, apart from the fact he is a very good goalkeeper, is that it would mean keeping the dreaded alternatives of Bazunu and McCarthy away from the team. There could be few sights more depressing than seeing one of those two lining up in goal for our opening league game. |

The population of the area has increased so much since the stadium was built that high demand for tickets is almost inevitable. |

There are very few players in the Championship who are good enough for the Premier League nowadays. Even from the squads of the 3 teams that went up and came straight back down again this year, only a handful of players will be picked up by Premier League clubs and even they may not be good enough to be first team regulars.
This is probably the strongest Premier League and weakest Championship there has ever been, because any half-decent players are already in the inflated squads of Premier League teams. Hence the massive gap. Of course, this also means that the gap between League One and the Championship has narrowed so much that promoted teams from League One may go straight up to the Premier League the following season.
It tells you just how weak the Championship is that a team that finished bottom of the Premier League with a record number of defeats are the bookies' favourites to win it. [Post edited 10 Jun 12:53]

Reply | Adam Lallana Likely To Be Offered Coaching Role At Southampton
at 12:41 10 Jun 2025
It doesn't seem a good idea to retain any of the failed coaching staff from last year, including Lallana. He should be released. If we really need an ex-player as a coach, Fonte would be a far better prospect. [Post edited 10 Jun 12:49]

I would get rid of as many as possible of our current strikers and bring in Ayoub El Kaabi. Because of his age, he wouldn't be expensive, but he'd score a lot more goals than anybody we currently have in our squad. |

Players may come and players may go, but Alex McCarthy is here forever. Obviously, no other club would take him, but he should have been the first name on the released list.
The core of useless players, like McCarthy and Smallbone, who have been here for years, hold the club back. They have a negative influence on new arrivals. [Post edited 9 Jun 20:37]
