Fulham fan and Shrewsbury fan went to the Southampton v Fulham game the other week. Told them to do same thing, big thumbs from them on the Monday. Southampton can be bad at times. Saves a lot of hassle.

 

[Baconsane]

Saints nil, city 2, marmoush, foden. The end.

Read your first sentence and thought it was the start of a joke……


Was very disappointed at the end….

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

We have 4 cup finals to go, it'll be great if we can play some expansive footie, but if we can't then 4 scruffy 1-0 wins will do. CTID

Am I the only one struggling to understand this?

 

[SWP's back]

Does anyone really give a toss about the club world cup?

Yes. It’s going to be a huge thing.

You sound like the FA in the 50’s saying “a World Cup? No thank you”

 

[BringBackSwales]

Does anyone really give a toss about the club world cup?

Yes but only cos City are in it. I want us to win it

 

[chaddblue]

Should be a comfortable win

Only worry is that they need 1 more point to avoid sharing the worst ever points total

 

[AliBobbyJ]

Yes. It’s going to be a huge thing.

Well that's exactly what they said to Chelsea when they wanted to go into the first season of the European Cup. Chelsea backed down, next season Man U. didn't and the new competition carried on and has done quite well. So yes the CWC will be a thing of the future, doesn't mean us FOCs have to like it.

It was a reply to me asking where to park on Saturday unfortunately i asked on the previous page hahaha

Makes the club money and keeps.FIFA happy only pros

but real reason to give zero fucks:
wearing shit uncity kits
reducing players rest time before the proper competitions start.
likely to fuck about our transfers dealings
not taken seriously in europe
Game on at stupid o'clock and online only
But mainly it fucks up oir 2025/26 preperations, we get to the final and potentially are in the charity shield 2 weeks later.


Make the CWC summer by all means but the expanded format wasn't necessary the 2 week tournament aleady in existance was enough

It’s not online only bud.

 

[urban genie]

It’s not online only bud.

oh did they manage to do a deal with one of our broadcasters, last I read the other week were still looking.


stil lI will be in work for the first game, in bed asleep for the secondand mildly arsed for Juve

Does anyone really give a toss about the club world cup?

Yes, if it gets us extra income to spend on better players (hopefully)

They will have to get up very early in the afternoon to put one over on you!

There is only one daft kickoff time. The other two are 5:00 pm and 10:00 pm.

 

[Mr Grumpy]

Nervous about this one.

This is the full bifta?

Does Southhampton really need the A-team or is this just a case of putting out the best we have because everyone is just a little bit off it atm?

Would you not put out some of the B-team to get them acclimatised for the WC/New season?

Are you trying to win the prize for the ‘most moronic post on the month’?

You will be up against some stiff competition from your earlier ‘contributions’.
