Southampton FC and NH Racing. Eclectic music taste - Late 70's & 80's John Peel influenced, as well as Neil Young and surprisingly in recent years, Springsteen!

@bbctms Can you reassure me @AlexHartley93 will be on duty for the Old Trafford test please? Looking forward to mentions of floodlights, discussions re balcony barbecues and pigeons. Sure to be an asset with Mark Wood’s cloud game in the unlikely event sole ones are spotted!

@racingblogger But no credit from you for a three time winner of the Irish Champion Hurdle other than a touch of class from Nicky Henderson. I assume if you had backed State Man we would have not stopped hearing about it? Some force of good you are for racing!

[Nigel McAllen @indienig]

@neilcmc So sorry Neil, I’ve only just picked up on your sad news. Karen and myself have a lot of fond memories of George from visiting the Motor Club. She loved dogs so was always alright by us! Our thoughts are with you.

@summa26_ You’ve presumably seen Oasis have announced a ballot for tickets? Good luck!

[Nigel McAllen @indienig]

⁦@AlexHartley93⁩ ⁦@bbctms⁩ That cleared the pigeons!

[Nigel McAllen @indienig]

@KeighleyTeam Absolutely brilliant - well done Freddie. What a fabulous family day to remember.

[Nigel McAllen @indienig]

@davidjashforth Always loved your sense of humour in your work with SL and RP. Wishing you all the best David.

[Nigel McAllen @indienig]

@OwnersforOwners So sorry to hear Jon.

@ThoroughbrdTale @KernLillingston Enjoyed a great two days with you earlier this week Charlie, thank you. Very insightful and now appreciate the work you put in. It is hardwork and could be soul destroying, however you persist. It took until the fifth day, however you got that horse for @KeighleyTeam

@PlayzytStyle I do know plenty of fans (Saints or otherwise). I also know fans in wheelchairs who had to tolerate our fans running down the stairs to the front to celebrate our goals at Plymouth and falling over them. Is that right? Let’s just agree to disagree shall we?

[Nigel McAllen @indienig]

@PlayzytStyle There are some fans who pay for a seat and expect to sit down. I travel away, however if I know there are fans immediately behind me who are struggling to see I will try help them as much as I can. It is called respect. Perhaps we are in different age demographics?

[Nigel McAllen @indienig]

@PlayzytStyle @SFCsumma Ah, so you mean herd mentality then? 🐑

[Nigel McAllen @indienig]

@PlayzytStyle @SFCsumma Perhaps people who are less able? They don’t always have a choice where they sit.

[Nigel McAllen @indienig]

@SFCsumma That did make me laugh, although probably not PC. Perhaps some of our players are deaf so we do need to sign to them. Dusan Tadic certainly wasn’t! 👋

[Nigel McAllen @indienig]

@belindakeighley Many congratulations both. Hope you find some time to celebrate! X

[Nigel McAllen @indienig]

@yrrapdivad Congratulations! Hope you’re in Istanbul. Either way enjoy!

[Nigel McAllen @indienig]

@sotonbeerfest Just a shame there is now a train strike over the two days. Not your fault, however I now can’t use my Friday ticket.

[Nigel McAllen @indienig]

@ErnestaVerburg Hup Hup Hup! That’s about the limit to my Dutch language skills!

@LowHummer If you’re looking for support on your autumn tour, can I recommend @labyriinthiine
