⚽ 📰 The Football News Thread

Perhaps I have held motson in bad humour for all these years wrongly! It might have been the ITV bloke, but it still might have been the BBC chap. Since then I have had little respect for commentators!

Granted, but in those days all the saints supporters always wore their red and white scarfs - including me at home, and my one year old daughter, who jumped out of her skin and cried when we all cheered the goal! Don’t think she ever recovered!

Motson was great. A legend.
But he was no Barry Davies or even David Coleman

Besides having heard the commentary numerous times since, they said this afternoon that Motty’s first Cup Final was ManU v Liverpool in 1977.

These guys…

And for Wrexham, this is HUGE

Apparently West Ham donated £9,000 to the Tory party in 2022

I reckon I can guess the general forum sentiment if saints pulled the same stroke

Yeah, like ‘why didn’t we put that money towards a striker slightly better than Armstrong?’.

Time for a Sotonians punathon. I’ll start it with these…

He went in hard there.

Went down a bit too easily for my liking.

Slid in with his studs showing.

There was definitely contact.

Any more?
