This is what communities are about. It isn't knuckle dragging morons disrespecting the flag to spread hate, it is people like Crystal Clean Windows. We saw it after the riots last year. The far right are not representative of local communities. H/t to @ottoenglish.bsky.social for the original post.
League 1 Minus 10 - Watford 2 Southampton 2. RPs appreciated. #saintsfc chuck it in the bin again at Watford. Featuring Irish Bale, Flynn's pre-match raw chicken liver, Baz and the angles, Trolley Dash Friday and knobheads.

Perhaps, one day, schoolkids will study this squalid little chapter in British terror-panic history. When they do, I hope these two headlines from today are printed side by side, with clear annotation of which individual faced more outrage and condemnation.
Their strikers are very quick. CB's going to need to be in it next week.

Some very interesting points in here from Andy Burnham - including this on the Westminster bubble:
That this is presented by the media as “policy” is why we are in this mess. These are not serious people. These are monkey tennis ideas, as divorced from the reality of criminal justice as you might expect from a company fronted by multi-millionaire simpletons.
"I’m just Alex… Ukrainian guy." Oleksandr Usyk has proved himself not just a generational great, but an all-time one. No ifs, buts or maybes, the Ukrainian's name is now among that of legendary heavyweights. 🔗 theathletic.com/6504513/?sou...

The problem is his answer will always be that the implementation of brexit by other people was a failure - until interviewers can repeatedly skewer him on what he would actually have done and simply communicate why that wouldn't have worked, he's got a get out of jail free card every single time
On this day in 1554, a large fleet anchored in the water around Southampton and from one of its ships appeared Philip of Spain, the heir to the Spanish throne. He would have surveyed the scene before coming ashore and stepping onto English soil - soil he would soon rule. 1/4
One other 7/7 thread today. Because I think how the bus network got running again is a real testament to some serious heroes that day: The bus drivers and staff who got that network running again and got London home that night. And TfL/the Mayor disobeyed the Security Services to make it happen /1
There are many, many recent moments that I'd like to see all the people professing to be deeply outraged by Bob Vylan comment on. From columnists & politicians to the Chief Rabbi. (Perhaps they have but I can't find any...) I'd probably start with this one. www.middleeasteye.net/news/senior-...

#Kneecap #Glastonbury Starmer's 'Not appropriate' doesn't really mean anything does it? You can read it anyway you want to. And people say that he can't do politics.
If you want the full prophecy of Nostradumbass Daniel Hannan, it can be found here He is wrong on nearly every point. The fact that he is a permanent part of our legislative process is a disgrace www.reaction.life/p/britain-lo...
Happy Summer Solstice from Glastonbury Tor. It was certainly a good sunrise and a vibrant energy to celebrate the longest day. #SummerSolstice #solstice2025

Happy new week! Photo taken on Glastonbury Tor. This is taken from the path on the 'short' way up. This way is shorter but steeper and my preferred way up.

So far Patchwork is... A book by Sylvia Haim. Ed Sheeran's shirts. Oasis patching things up. A Wombats patchwork quilt. Harry Styles patchwork jumper. Something to do with miss-shapes and missfits.

The world must be running out of fruitcake managers. By sheer force of probability we must be getting closer to uncovering a gem😂 Monkeys do type shakespeare at some point!
Had a nice wander around Petersfield earlier and liked these blue plaques on some of the old buildings. Have seen things like this elsewhere, in this country and abroad, and I think it’s a shame Southampton don’t have something similar.
I agree, he was a player that thrived on confidence. If he got off to a bad start in the game he just didn't get better. If he started well he was often fantastic, had the ability to turn a game when he was on it. His early habit of openly whining at Bertrand about every mistake didn't help him.
On this day… 16 May 2015 Southampton 6-1 Villa, Premier League Sadio Mane’s hat-trick, at 2m 56s the fastest ever in the top flight, is a record likely to stand for decades. Almost as memorable were the camera shots of Tim Sherwood’s face as he realised his managerial career was over. #SaintsFC
Very raw at first, took him a year to become a great player. But we've spent 10 years looking for an adequate replacement. Redmond, Djenepo, Sulemana no where near as good.

Happy Star Wars Day! Here is UK Supreme Court in 2011 saying incorrectly "The Star Wars films are set in an imaginary, science-fiction world of the future". For as everyone knows they are set not in the future, but "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...". www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKS...
You never know who or what you might see in the Theatre and Circus fields, with Glastonbury's famous walkabout acts out and about from mid-morning until the wee small hours. Enjoy this taste of 2024 action. Video credit: Symphony Digital Media #Glastonbury #walkabouts
Reform councillors are the same ragbag of carpetbaggers as UKIP. Will turn out to be serially useless when given any real responsibility. Easy to shout about macro problems, far more difficult to put the hard graft in to solve real micro problems.
Unfortunately, the way we've played this season, we deserved to. Worst team for the last 2 premier seasons. Tough to watch.
I guess he's young but sometimes he's great and sometimes he just seems to go to sleep and lose the ball easily. Hopefully, Shea Charles should have his position covered.
Can't defend and can't attack. Perfect storm.
The most damning thing you can say about us is that this scoreline is not in the least bit surprising.
Aside from the heartbreak of losing Fernandes, and on the assumption KWP and Ramsdale are long gone now, Downes and Manning are the only 2, I would keep next season. Rest of them just don't seem to care. #SaintsFC
Really rated him last season; Really don't rate him this season.
I don't call it gains when it's just recovering part of a bigger loss.

On this day in 1976, Second Division Southampton FC lifted the FA Cup at Wembley after beating First Division Manchester United 1-0. Bobby Stokes scored the famous winning goal for the Saints. It was the last time Queen Elizabeth II attended an FA Cup final. 📸: Daily Echo #SaintsFC
When Tory donor Frank Hester reportedly said Diane Abbott – the longest-serving Black MP – made him “want to hate all black women” and that she “should be shot”, Kemi Badenoch dismissed it as “trivia”. When Kneecap, made a similarly abhorrent past remark she wants them banned. #TwoTierKemi

For anyone unfamiliar, Trump thinks this is real. Not the crackpot “decoding” but the actual photoshopped text on the fingers added for clarity
For anyone who doubts the MS-13 knuckle tattoo was completely real, I'll have you know that this tattoo is 100% real, and not in any way photoshopped.
Chat GPT ...show me a video of a knucklehead...
Saw them last year and while they were pro Palestine/anti Tory shout outs they certainly weren't shouting out death threats to MPs or pro terror group chants. They've apologised, let them play.
I thought I recognised it. Great view from the top over the festival site.
I think that's the back of the airport terminal?. Last year it was set up next to carhenge.
Strategic genius, eh. Not only has Trump achieved nothing with his bullying of Canada, he has ensured the return of a Liberal government that will stand up to him. This is where day-to-day leverage-seeking gets him.

1. Play well 2. Make subs 3. Fall apart 4. Rinse 5. Repeat #saintsfc
Combination of can't create, let alone convert, good chances when we are on top and the longstanding lack of game management in the last third of a game. Completely giving up possession for the last 20 minutes just piles pressure on ourselves.
We just seem to panic and fall apart.
Aside from Russell,why do we always completely give up possession late in games. Did it all the time under Ralph. Just suicidal! #SaintsFC
An ‘Executive Order’ is not, legally speaking, a thing by itself. A president has no universal power to rule by mere decree. An Executive Order only has legal force to the extent other laws (constitution, statutes) provide for that order to have effect.

We can’t even *convict* foreign criminals. Nor homegrown ones. Because - and I know ministers like to pretend this isn’t true, but we will keep saying it - the criminal justice system is in absolute meltdown. So maybe address that before making little league tables of which foreign is the baddest.

DEVASTATING: every snack requires a follow-up snack
Today is the anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement. One of the great political achievements post WW2. For those of us growing up in the 1970s peace, albeit an uneasy one at times, was unimaginable.
It is with profound sadness that we relay news of the passing of our beloved friend and bandmate Clem Burke following a private battle with cancer. (1/7)
@rshereme.bsky.social replays a great explanation from Tim Salmon about the yawning gap between what Trumpists think #tariffs will do and what they are actually likely to do. (Screen-grabs from @linkedin.com)
Southampton are likely to part ways with Ivan Juric imminently following the club's relegation from the Premier League. Story by @alfiehouse.bsky.social | #SaintsFC www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/250690...
With relegation confirmed, time for the #saintsfc fuck offs Fuck off Juric - inept Fuck off 90% of squad - gutless Fuck off Sports Republic - crooks Fuck off backroom staff - complicit Fuck off R Martin - useless
I am at peace with relegation, but it would be great to beat Spuds today to both, escape another unwanted record, and, see Ange suffer the traditional fate of struggling PL managers who lose to Saints. #SaintsFC

If there was any doubt, the right wing press reaction to the Le Pen verdict and sentence confirms their only interest in the courts and rule of law is for prosecuting those with which they disagree.

On this day… 1 April 1964 Southampton 6-4 Derby, Division 2 The scoring went 0-1, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 3-3, 4-3, 4-4, 5-4, 6-4 in a wild game. This came after the teams played out a 3-2 game in the reverse fixture just 2 days before. Terry Paine hit a hat-trick, including 2 penalties. #SaintsFC
RIP Val Kilmer Any hope of the never announced Kiss, Kiss Bang Bang/ The Nice Guys crossover movie also passes with you😭

Word of the day is ‘foxy’ (19th century), used of weather that misleads you into thinking it’s extremely warm when in reality it’s pretty chilly.
