Come on Pat, don’t you understand that fans don’t come to watch games anymore ?
Their sole purpose in the eyes of Sports Republic is for them to visit the St Mary’s theme park and donate large sums of money buying hideously over priced food and drink. |

To be honest Nick I’m not certain what your question actually was. If you repeat it for me I’ll give a reply my best shot.
Reference your suggestion that he has not missed anymore games than the average player, I venture to suggest that if you are correct it’s because he spends most of his time warming West Ham’s bench.
This season has been an unmitigated disaster.The summer will be an opportunity to wipe the slate clean and start afresh. You don’t do that by employing a 33 year old injury prone has been. |

Nick, honestly how many examples do you want ?
1. Relegated from the Premier League twice in three years.
2. Employed more hopeless managers than any other club that I can think of.
3. Wasted £ millions by purchasing any number of Championship standard journey men.
4. Totally unable or unwilling to communicate with their fan base except when they want to extract money from us.
5. Can’t even put out a competitive team in a Fourth round F A cup tie at home to Burnley.
Ings always was injury prone as a young player and I very much doubt the situation has improved now he is 33 years old. |

Probably only paper talk but if not, it’s just another example of Sports Republics detachment from reality.
Ings is a 33 year old injury prone has been, much in the same vain as Llanna. |

Interestingly Tesla shares dropped 8% today amid the Trump tariff nonsense, something which must have irritated Mr Musk somewhat I imagine.
I suspect there may well be many Tesla dealership owners tonight who will be having a sleepless night concerned at Musk’s brand being heavily associated with grifters like Trump and vice president Vance.
In the UK and Europe in particular, buying and owning a Tesla may possibly quickly become rather unfashionable ? |

1. Liverpool player given yellow card instead of red for hacking Walker Peters early doors.
2. Smallbone has minor contact with Liverpool player at 1-1, penalty for Liverpool.
3. Sugar has tussle with Liverpool player, ball touches hand, another penalty for Liverpool.
Premiership football isn’t corrupt though is it ? |

“ Judge a man by the company he keeps” or perhaps “ If you lie with dogs expect to get fleas”.
Either would make a good slogan for their party and M Ps. |

“ I do find it odd that the reasons for this war are so well understood and accepted within academia”
Joiedevivre, for the benefit of the uninitiated ( myself included ) perhaps you can spare the time to elaborate further by explaining exactly the reasons, acceptance and understanding to which you refer ? |

1. He can’t play football, he’s too old now.
2. After three humiliations ( Derby, Birmingham and Plymouth) he’s proved he can’t successfully manage a football club now.
3. When he gives worthless opinions ( see 2.above ) on matches as he did for the B B C today, nobody can understand a word he mumbles now.
Honestly, can’t he do everyone a favour and just retire and spend his millions quietly ? |

wizzler, do at least try and get your priorities right and concentrate on what really matters.
To Sports Republic, getting a team together to play football is just an inconvenience.
Their focus now is solely on getting my mother ( died in 2016 ) to eat for free in the Dell Pub on Mother’s Day. That’s today’s email, yesterday it was an invitation to a summer party at £47.00 plus V A T.
Our beloved Saints football team is on its way to extinction, shortly to be replaced by St Mary’s Theme Park Ltd. |

Possibly the worst season in living memory,bottom of the league for months and 1/500 to be relegated.
All is not lost however, because according to the club’s latest email,for £47 plus V A T each we can all go to the Gasworks and have a party to celebrate.
Welcome to the new Southampton Football Club/Theme Park that only ever communicates with it’s fans for the purpose of relieving them of their money. [Post edited 24 Feb 21:14]

Nice one Pat.
Perhaps Mr Sunak could at least now do something useful and persuade his wife to let him have a few bob to buy our current owners out ?
After all, given the club’s not exactly healthy financial position declared in the last accounts, and that on the pitch we are in free fall, some of her petty change would probably suffice. |

Don’t be too troubled Pat because I suspect there is absolutely no chance that anyone would be daft enough to buy out Solak and our Swiss friend at the price they would want.
We just need to concern ourselves with the prospect of next season watching Preston North End on a freezing cold Wednesday night in January as we attempt to avoid another consecutive relegation.
And I thought the Branfoot era was as bad as it got. |

The next home game’s miserable, abject surrender, display of football incompetence, won’t take place until March 15 so no need to go anywhere near the St Mary’s theme park for three weeks now.
In the meantime, condolences to all those who have bought tickets to Chelsea and Liverpool away. |

As long as there is a queue for greasy spoon breakfasts at the Dell Pub during the week It would not bother the doughnuts who own and manage the club if St Mary’s were to be totally empty on match days.
In fact they would probably prefer it that way as (much like the days on which the club shop is closed) there would be no need to employ anyone to run and secure the stadium.
In fact why don’t they go the whole hog, disband the football club and turn the whole site into a theme park ? Although in truth they would probably f ck that up as well. |

So does he.
At this very moment he is writing the players names on individual pieces of paper and placing them in a tombola machine.
At 13.00 hrs one of the club mascots will open the machine, draw out Eleven pieces of paper and tell Punch his starting eleven and then the substitutes will follow. |
