ApOlogies if posted elsewhere but I couldn’t see that it had. We should be ashamed for missing this if it hasn’t... 17 years ago yesterday.
That was the only time I have ever been told to sit down at a game. I was still applauding the goal when the game was restarted. I was well and truly lost in the moment.
https://southamptonfc.com/news/2018-05-20/feature-article-jan-bednarek-road-to-salvation-may-2018 Puff piece about Bednarek and his tough time at Saints which finished with a few games and possible selection for the World Cup.
I thought that was the best one as well, because he saves it every time you watch the replay....which seems impossible However, I went for the save against Swansea because of its importance....which I know is daft, because all points are important. Could easily choose a save earlier in the season if you use that criterion.
For a second I thought he meant the president of Japan. Then I remembered Japan doesnt have one as they use our system. I really need to lean Gao's face. Japanese part say: Dinner with the president of Southampton in Tokyo. I had a wonderful time. At least we know who convinced him to stay

Probably because like me a photo would frighten the children causing sleepless nights and endless tears.
http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/16240336.Saints_must_continue_to_build_the_connection/ Another piece from a Saints player (this time Romeu) designed to bridge the chasm that is the summer break*.

Interesting how the club have yet to publicly back safe-standing but almost all of the crowd photos are of people (unsafely) standing...!!
So, where as most players spend their precious free time between the end of the season and the new season/international duty relaxing at the beach, Maya spent it coaching kids. "Yesterday, Maya Yoshida visited grampus academy, fitting in time amongst a busy time period. The players were a bit nervous being infront of their idol, but everyone was starry eyed as they received advice about life in football. "Maya Yoshida, thanks you, Grampus will always love you."
