Apparently Rishi Sunak was in the stands on Friday night to watch his beloved Saints take on WBA.

The Prime Minister is a self-described “massive Saints fan” & was seen standing & clapping wearing a hoodie emblazoned with “Saints 85”.

Not sure if he got onto the pitch reminding everyone to behave as his latest published Anti-Social Behaviour Action Plan states.

Couldn't work out what 85 meant to Southampton FC. I initially thought 1985, but could not think of anything of note. Then I realized it refers to 1885, the year of their founding. Appropriate, i guess as they haven't achieved anything of note since then, except for the 76 FA Cup final. I guess the other football honor is how they got thrashed by Leeds in '73. Revie's boys taught them a lesson 7-0. There were long periods when no Southampton player touched the ball.
