Slovakia next up for England
at 23:37 26 Jun 2024

Having won Group C, England will play Slovakia in the last 16. If they win they will play either Switzerland or Italy in the quarter-finals, with the Netherlands, Romania, Austria and Turkey also on our side of the draw. Germany, Spain & France all on the other side of the fence.
Can we emerge from our group stage torpor? What do you think??

First look at today's 4-3 win
at 18:01 2 Mar 2024

On a strange and somewhat encouraging afternoon of Championship results here is a first look at the goals - RM almost always says he's proud of the players, I'd venture to suggest that today he's every right to be for never giving up.

Footage of a slumbering West Brom fan spotted by the SMS faithful, even picked up by The Sun - must be the International break then....

Young Saint - Alejandro Gomes Rodriguez
at 00:43 16 Nov 2023

I know they don't always make the step up to 1st team football easily, or ideed at all, but this one sounds promising - in a couple of years time perhaps he could be the next Evan Ferguson who has slotted in so well at Brighton...

Elyounoussi goal helps beat Man Utd
at 00:30 9 Nov 2023

In the Champions League tonight Mohamed Elyounoussi scored in the 45th minute for FC Copenhagen to haul back a 0-2 deficit to 1-2. 2-2 by HT, United go 3-2 up but FC C score twice in the last 10 mins to win 4-3. Rashford sent off in the 1st half - Ten Hag won’t like that! He’s already got the a**eache with The Rash over his highly publicised birthday party on the night of their home defeat by Citeh - perhaps Ten Hag will cast Rashford into the wilderness along with Sancho. Wrong side of Manchester, but perhaps we should send JW up there in January to agree loan deals for the pair of them to bolster our push for promotion in the second half of the season

Top 3 Non-League wins in the FA Cuo
at 23:11 7 Nov 2023

As Nick says it is a bit quiet on here at the moment and as Pat has said his Top 3 ideas have dried up for the moment I thought it would be nice to celebrate the SK8's latest failure to get past non-League oppo in the FA Cup by inviting your submissions for your top 3 non-League FA Cup wins

1 - Worcester City 2-1 Liverpool - Jan 1959, widely accepted as probably their most embarrassing defeat.
2 - Burnley 0-1 Lincoln City - Feb 2017, Lincoln were in the National League at the time and became the first non-league team to reach the FAC Quarter Finals in 105 years.
3 - Sutton United 2-1 Coventry City - Jan 1989, in May 1987 Coventry were running round Wembley with the FA Cup having just beaten Spurs, however, just over 18 months later...

And of course, any SK8's defeat by non-league opposition

30 Years ago today - Le God 2-1 Newcastle Utd
at 20:04 24 Oct 2023

30 years ago today, Matt produced a brace of absolutely superb goals against Newcastle United having been dropped for the previous 5 games by the plank that was Ian Branfoot. Witnessed this from by West Stand Lower seat, can't remember if it was still bench seating or not. Great memories of a very special player.

The Home Office have released the stats for the total number of fans arrested during the 22/23 season listed by Club. There were a total of 2,264 arrests in the top 5 divisions of which 39 were Saints fans. Worst behaved of the lot were West Ham with 89 of their delightful East London darlings falling foul of the boys in blue.

Here is the complete list courtesy of the Stoke Sentinel newspaper, the link to their original article is as follows:

Here is the complete list - if it was worked out as a percentage of the average attendance I guess Leeds or Millwall would be top! On the one hand, no surprises there, on the other, not all arrests will have been at home games...

West Ham United - 89 / Manchester United - 83 / Leeds United - 69 / Manchester City - 66 Arsenal - 51 / Tottenham Hotspur - 51 / Burnley - 50 / Leicester City - 49 / Everton - 48 Birmingham City - 47 / Millwall - 47 / Chelsea - 45 / Newcastle United - 39 / Southampton - 39 Bolton Wanderers - 35 / Middlesbrough - 35 / Peterborough United - 35 / Derby County - 34 Blackburn Rovers - 31 / Hull City - 30 / Plymouth Argyle - 30 / Sunderland - 30 / Blackpool - 29 Liverpool - 27 / Sheffield United - 27 / Wolverhampton Wanderers - 27 / Lincoln City - 26 Stoke City - 26 / Torquay Utd - 26 / Barrow - 25 / Cambridge United - 25 / Coventry City - 24 / Sheffield Wednesday - 24 / Aston Villa - 23 / Barnsley - 23 / Nottingham Forest - 23
Bradford City - 22 / Swansea City - 21 / Brighton & Hove Albion - 19 / Reading - 19

Huddersfield Town - 14 / Mansfield Town - 14 / Watford - 14 / Chesterfield - 13 / Oxford United - 13 / Preston North End - 13 / Stockport County - 13 Swindon Town - 13 / Carlisle United - 11
MK Dons - 11 / Rochdale - 11 / West Bromwich Albion - 11 / Gillingham - 10 / Port Vale - 10 - QPR - 10 - Charlton Athletic - 9 / Doncaster Rovers - 9 / Fulham - 9 / Hartlepool United - 9 / Norwich City - 9 / Ipswich Town - 8 / Scunthorpe United - 8 - Walsall - 8 / Wigan Athletic - 8 / AFC Bournemouth - 7 / Shrewsbury Town - 7 / Stevenage - 6 / York City - 6 / AFC Wimbledon - 5 / Crawley Town - 5 / FC Halifax Town - 5 / Fleetwood Town - 5 / Rotherham United - 4 / Tranmere Rovers - 4 / Cheltenham Town - 3 / Forest Green Rovers - 3 / Leyton Orient - 3 / Newport County - 3 / Wealdstone - 3 / Aldershot Town - 2 / Bromley - 2 / Maidenhead United - 2 / Maidstone United - 2 / Northampton Town - 2 / Wycombe Wanderers - 2 / Accrington Stanley - 1 / Barnet - 1 / Burton Albion - 1 / Colchester United - 1 / Dagenham & Redbridge - 1 / Dorking Wanderers - 1

Take a bow Altrincham, Boreham Wood, Eastleigh, Gateshead. Harrogate Town, Morecambe, Salford City, Solihull Moors, Sutton United, Woking & Yeovil Town all with zero arrests.
