@lucyhighnett I think you can get a view if you look at any of the accounts that were posting the insults you’re referring to and see the other types of content/posts they’re interacting with. World and twitter has moved on since 3/4 years ago and not for the better
@AlfieHouseEcho The balance is tricky, fully appreciate why the club won’t want to jump ahead of investigations, however we all know how early prep should be starting, a year ago we sorted Still out and worst case scenario would be a change of manager a limited time ahead of the season!#saintsfc
@lucyhighnett Really struggle to see how I will be invested in the team next year. Football is ultimately silly and we put our faith and support into something that doesn’t care about us in the main, but this really makes me feel sick about it
League 1 Minus 10. Southampton 1 Hull 2. RP's appreciated.
#saintsfc serve up more dross. Featuring Sideways and backwards masterclass, don't jump then, Champ refereeing masterclass, Ross crumb of comfort, PE teacher detention and McCarthy for manager.

@SamD_dappy 100% Since Fonte/VVD we’ve been absolutely devoid of a decent experienced vocal centre half - too many high potential signings for the bank account who arguably would have fetched us more cash if they had someone to demand standards from them (Salisu/ABK come to mind)
Morecambe fans are fighting to keep their club alive.
Jason Whittingham has less than 2 days to sell the club. After that, Morecambe FC will cease to exist.
There has been little media coverage of this, despite the outrageous actions by Whittingham.
Morecambe fans need your support and solidarity.
Share this post, spread the word and make sure this story gets the attention it deserves. We can’t let another club die.
Don’t let Morecambe be forgotten.

Ooopsss… Mr.@Nigel_Farage himself has just challenged me on the facts!
What an honor — for a “giant man,” as he described me (meaning, of course, from a “tiny country”) — to earn the attention of Britain’s unrivaled virtuoso of headline politics.
He said — and I quote:
“I tell you what, Mr. Rama, did you know one in 50 Albanians in Britain are in prison? So show some goodwill and take them all back tomorrow, because this is hypocrisy.”
Well, Mr. Farage — let me return the challenge with something unusually boring in your line of work: actual numbers.
That “one in 50 Albanians are in prison” claim? It’s not a fact. It’s bonkers. A classic from the post-truth Brexit playbook: “If it sounds scary, it must be true.”
Guess what? When the numbers are actually run — surprise! — even if we assumed every Albanian currently in prison is guilty (and in fact, many are caught up in an outdated and restrictive visa system), the rate of criminality among Albanians in the UK would be no higher than — and likely lower than — that of the British population itself.
Now, since we both seem to cherish “goodwill” and are clearly allergic to “hypocrisy,” here’s my offer:
Let’s both bring our numbers to the table. If your “one in 50” claim holds water — I will personally commit to taking them all back. That’s not a competing headline — it’s a public pledge.
But if your scary stat turns out to be just tabloid fuel, then no apology needed. No drama. Instead, you’ll come to Albania — as my guest of honor.
You’ll get real sun, real hospitality, and even more real facts — about Albania and its fabulous people. And all I ask in return is the simplest public pledge from you, made while enjoying our country: next time someone badmouths Albanians, you’ll be the first to tell them — in your histrionic way — not to do it again.
So what do you say? One fact-check for a full deportation — or a full vacation, with some of the warmest people you’ll ever meet.
Come on, Nigel. If you lose on a fact check, you’ll still win a whole nation of friends for life.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
@TorchWaver@L1minus10 Not sure us getting their profits is how the model works chief - I’d just like to see us getting some benefit as it’s looked pretty one sided so far
