@FootballInT80s This was my first and favourite World Cup. It felt truly magical with some great games and goals !

@nthnl04 Strongly linked with Blackburn …..

@BenHtafc17 Although standing is allowed in the bottom two divisions, it’s more complicated if the club has spent more than three seasons in the top two divisions since 93/94 where only ‘licenced’ standing is permitted which I think means safe standing rather than a conventional terrace

@Steve_Bee21 @ciaranclarke9 Town have largely been gash since I first started watching them in 1984, so I don’t get too upset !
I’ll happily enjoy a Cornetto ! 😂

@RotheryHtafc I attended three, Barnsley, Bradford & Burton. All three were equally dreadful ….

@BenHtafc17 An orchestra can only have one conductor….

When it has been tried in the past (e.g. Liverpool, Charlton etc.) it’s not really worked. One of the two usually emerges as the dominant character and overall leader.

@PissBoilerHTAFC I’m quite interested to see what he can do, I like his directness and obvious enthusiasm. If appointed it’s a risk, but every appointment comes with a level of risk.

I don’t want to see a situation where we overlook him and he goes and achieves something elsewhere ….

@MickeyDN7 @_htfcharry_ Take your point re negativity as it is very wearing, but don’t agree with the ‘always have been a League One club’ as thats simply not true ….

Felt sad but also quite nostalgic hearing this news. Wish You Were Here was staple viewing in our household as a kid. It provided a sense of escapism during those gloomy British winters …..

@black13695888 @Smudge1962 @SouthamptonFC @Boro That was a separate incident earlier in the game ….

@utfc1903 Well I guess that’s an achievement in itself ?!!! 🤔😂

@HLTCO Love it ! 💜

Old school rendition that galvanises the support. Not a Hearts fan, but I’ve been gripped by the Scottish title race this year when in previous years I wouldn’t have given it much attention.

Southampton have always been a club that did things the right way. Attractive football, long history, loyal and vocal support, important community department, good atmosphere at the Dell and St Mary’s, develop talent, even a great cat at the training ground. A sound club. A touch of class. So as they head to Wembley, and deservedly so as they were better than Boro on the night, perhaps those who run the club and run the football side consider how to restore the club’s reputation. 

Because a club who many neutrals had a soft spot for risk becoming hard to like. Some Southampton fans will not worry about what others think of them. But they should. They are currently associated with cheating - Spygate - and for allegations of discriminatory language on the pitch (which have yet to be proven). That’s not what Southampton are about. 

Their head coach, Tonda Eckert, rightly earned plenty of praise for his inspirational work this season but risks coming across as charmless at times. Interesting that Boro’s coach, Kim Hellberg, in his Sky Sports interview, congratulated Southampton players and supporters but not their coach.

Southampton have gained a shot at the Premier League - any Spygate sanctions permitting - but lost some respect. Saints’ board and Eckert now have to work out how to restore that good reputation. And pray that the independent disciplinary commission does not punish them severely and swiftly for Spygate. As many people want them to. #SaintsFC #SOUMID
