Oh noes.

RIP Edson - arguably the best footballer ever.

I wonder if they're overspending on wages in a bid to return quickly to the FL. They wouldn't be the first to do that.

Post by **dng** » Sun Jan 01, 2023 9:34 pm

They're not even paying anyones wages at the moment. The supporters charity funds been covering most of the staffs pay

Post by **dng** » Sun Jan 01, 2023 9:35 pm

I'm not sure why companies are even allowed to trade if you can't pay your staff (regardless of whether they're a football club or not)

Post by **dng** » Sun Jan 01, 2023 9:36 pm

massive wage theft/minimum pay violations

what is it with french football and wild criminal tales of blackmail and other madness (benzema, pogba's brother, probably more)

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Jan 05, 2023 8:40 pm

Whereas in our football, Jill Scott wins I'm A Celebrity (after winning Euro 2022).

And that makes England better than France!

they'll sack him exactly two minutes after they've spent £400 million on completely random players on transfer deadline day

There's something Wigan Athletic, Norwich City, Portsmouth, Birmingham City, about this cup victory.

I hope I'm wrang, though.

Post by **vom** » Thu Jan 12, 2023 8:57 am

some good "would you be OK with relegation if we won both cups?" posts on Southampton forum. such a weird mix of optimism and pessimism

Post by **dng** » Thu Jan 12, 2023 2:42 pm

Surely winning a cup outweighs any number of relegations

Post by **vom** » Thu Jan 12, 2023 4:28 pm

even 70?

Ves. Winning the Sherpa Van Trophy certainly does.

i can only assume spurs actually want arsenal to win the league for some reason

or maybe not

Post by **dng** » Thu Jan 19, 2023 9:53 pm

in retrospect, that second half was the most inevitable half of football ever played. i assume kane just put the league table up on the tactics board and made everyone ponder it for fifteen minutes

I, for one, am utterly shocked and amazed at Juve's actions. :p

Farewell Frank Lamprad. :'( But fear not handsome prince, your high profile and friends in the media will ensure you get another highly sought after managerial position.

seems like a better choice of manager than Southampton made. but we shall see
