For Rallyboy. Our 3rd hand inventor of rumours is currently at The Belfry with a footy function sponsored by BA & Most and includes lots of mancs and Gareth Bale
You should be able to Google that but we think he meant Bale was at the gig not that he was now part of a bunch of mancs
Or is it Glasto week

Apart from you and meeeā¦no one else on this site has any footer knowledge 
Phew, thank goodness for that. I was starting to think weāve all had a footie-ectomy and given a bollox-political transplantā¦
anyway, whoās going to see us v the mighty Brentford pre-season? Am aiming to get there.
So, it beginsā¦
Thing is, donāt we have all to gossip on the Optimus thread? That basically seems to trawl the main news outlets for anything SaintsFC related.
So what do you want? Comments? Opinion? And to what end? So we can all disagree with each other and end up in a massive bun fight like they have over on the Fiver site, based on virtually zero knowledge of Premier League football?
The Optimus thread 
Does anyone read it ?
I lost the will to live trying (and failing miserably), to get to the last page.
Nowadays @btripz is my go to guy for inconsequential Saints tittle tattle and the latest Liverpool spin.
I came for the football chat at first but given that the forum is dominated by suburban, middle-aged, well-off, middle-class lefties who make for precisely the kind of self-conscious target of mockery that makes the forum so funny at times!
For that reason I tend to stick with football talk on fiverweb and use this one for politics, taking things seriously now and again.
The site isnāt morphing. Itās close season and thereās been an election; of course itās going to be more political than football.
Mr T, you also make me laugh because youāre so funny.
Almost like the token unemployable young person on the forum
TouchƩ?
Pike - if heād joined UKIP.
You raise some interesting points from time to time, Tramps (this post isnāt one of them, btw), but those same posts often offer up a young man who is somewhat bitter and resentful. Which is genuinely quite sad for someone of your age (any age).
Just in case you gave a shit.
OI @mrtrampoline I take umbrage at that remark. Name one person on fiver web that is knowledgeable on football?
And I suspect that this place was born out of the Monkey Tennis thread from the other side so although we have football we have a lot of other things as well
Itās like this every close season, unless someone makes stuff up, or knows anything that is going on. Nothing is really happening and we will probably have a new manager by the end of the month, so we just sit tight and wait. Then we can have a day of talking about the manager, then move on.
I normally post mostly sports stuff (not just Saints), but have not had the time to post for a few months). The Politics thread is very topical at the moment and has a huge impact on all of us. Again did not post to much on there as the election was not going to be won or lost in this forum having debates with people that are not going to change their mind.
All along this forum has been about everything and not just Southampton FC, which is what I like, BUT it does not seem much about Southampton in general anymore, but the people connected to the great City!
Oh and some moreā¦
Thatās exactly what I want!!
You fannies canāt function without old baddy Bazza, I give you news and you mock it as yu donāt like the reality of it, youād rather Kat and Ralph tell us weāre going places, just have a reality check on Southampton as a club and City and actually see weāre regressing on both fronts, I heard a rumour it wants to rival Dunfermline for entertainment in 5 years and the club? Fuck me weāll always sell and then gamble, hardly a fucking recipe for World footballing domination is it, so strap yourselves in weāre all in more a medium paced ever so slightly jarring but not offensive rideā¦Thats the Southampton way.
I liked Morph, when i was a kid, he was cool. I didnāt like Chas though, as he was a bastard. But when i got a bit older and a bit more of a geezer, Chas appealed to me more than Morph.
Just checking the Morph Wiki page, there are a number of other characters i cannot remember.
Gillespie was, apparently, a large, blue, dimwitted friend of Morph. Was Tony Hart a Saints fan?
Oh, and my twopenneth on the original question is that the site isnāt morphing, but close season is boring as hell, Uncle Les is fannying about as usual with his KPIās and all we have to talk about Saints-wise is bids from other teams for our players. So thereās less to talk about on the pitch and more off it.
Roll on early August.
Itās August the 12th unless some tv company changes it.
Surely there will be a pre season friendly at SMS?
