Hitler, possibly.

Apparently he was.

Is that where ‘Marching on Together’ came from?

Southampton were always known as our sister team as the pair of us survived and sometimes prospered in the First Division for so long. I still blame Liverpool and the Heysel events for the season we missed out on Europe. Hillsborough has erased Heysel from the collective memory today but it should never be forgotten!

or Going Down Together as we sang here last year

Boris?

Could be worse……the ex-home secretary lives near us.

At least, Rishi was born in Southampton.

Southampton have the slogan, ”We march on”

But at least Saints can lay claim to marching, on the basis of that New Orleans jazz standard “When the saints go marching in”, a tune that did not go down so well when played by a (visiting) jazz band at the Pompey Beer Festival. Nearly caused a riot,

“When the saints go marching in” is a traditional black spiritual song.

As far as I am aware Leeds is the only club to have its own song, the rest of them just steal songs and change the words.

Rubbish!

Only team to sing to a "B" side I reckon

Such a shame Tony Mowbray has had to stand down at Birmingham. In hindsight he should have left when he first got ill but I've no doubt that everything he's done has been in good faith.

Fans of Millwall and Chelsea would not agree with you.

Bluenose here... Yes such a shame. Fingers crossed for a full recovery and we see him back at St Andrews MK2 one day.

Rooney announced as Plymouth Argyle manager. @myles, hope he’s learned something from Birmingham!

I'll back any manager when they come in, Rooney included. The fact Birmingham was a shit show didn't help him - should never have taken that job.

 

[richardg]

That's Plymouth down then!

looking forward to the final, if it is as good as yesterdays that would be double good.

Leeds fans pissed up at KingsX - doing their best to create a river of piss and vomit in the street....

No change with them. Grief back to the good ol' 70's

Did you mention the Norwich stabbing and the Southampton pitch invasion that also ended up with fighting?
