Before too long this thread will peter out, then after a hiatus of a few weeks we’ll have a “Why have Saints won fewer trophies than any comparable team? I mean really, can you name a team as big as us with fewer trophies? Can you?” thread for a while. Then that one will also peter out, and a few weeks after that we’ll get another “Southampton is such a shit place for a city of its size”. Rinse and repeat, as they say. Rinse and repeat. ---

I thought we debated about religion and you disagree with anything Muslim, so Mosque’s would be the first to go I’d assume. How you getting on with getting a ticket for Milan? Looking forward to meeting up. ---

We can meet up anytime, I am looking forward to going. I can meet you for a bevy anytime, violence? Or threatening me is a laughable as it is funny. I wouldn’t suggest violence in Italy one Saint to another, you won’t like prison, many tories go there and don’t end up liking it. ---
