Dejan Lovren. Refused to return for preseason and declared he already felt like a Liverpool player whilst still under contract at Saints. IIRC he got subbed off early on in our 3-2 comeback win against them after crumbling under the abuse he was getting from the Northam. Chuck VVD in there for the same reasons. But at least he was actually good.

Papa Waigo!

Even still, their highest ever transfer in seems to be about €21m. I can’t see them spending more than twice that on Dibling.

Does anyone know whether Martin and Juric both getting new jobs is likely to have saved us any money? Not really sure how it works when a club sacks a manager- are we still paying them?

Obligatory Youtube compilation:

That is hideous. Looks like it’s been done in MS paint.

Beating Ipswich with a late winner was a nice little bit of revenge, even though it ultimately didn’t mean much.

First game at St Mary’s and he’s got to put up with Rishi Sunak asking for a selfie with his Mrs.

That might depend on whether or not they get a points deduction and whether they’re able to spend any money this summer.

Only 2 teams (PSG and Lille) have conceded fewer goals than Still’s Lens in the league this season so he can obviously coach a defence, which is something we desperately need.

That quote is discussed!

Talking of ex-managers, this is a great listen with WGS: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/lets-be-having-you-the-00s-football-podcast/id1746684824?i=1000705473210 There’s a first part too but this is the one he talks about his time at Saints. He discusses that he just wanted to win games and didn’t care about sticking to a particular style. That’s what I’d like in a new manager.

It hasn't been called the Premiership since 2007 so I actually think our Premiership home record is probably not that bad.

I agree, but we’ve got to try to avoid having to spend the majority of our transfer budget to sign them when we hopefully go up. Spending £40m to keep Downes and THB and not improving the team was a killer this summer.
