Yes, me too. Keyboard warriors talking shite, who knew?

What a player! Thanks for the memories David.

Great day out. Lavia Bella Aribo and Baz have all improved the first 11, and I reckon Mara will come good. When it all gels, and if we get a couple more in before the end of the window, we’ll rack up quite a few wins. Although Che nearly scoring a second half hat-trick off the bench, and then being sold to Everton four days later, would be peak #Saintsy.

Let’s face it, we haven’t had an outright nutter up top since Dani Osvaldo. Bring it on. Again.

£35m is insane. Forest are being way more profligate than the Saudi Barcodes. It may work for them but splashing the cash in every conceivable direction doesn’t sound like a plan. Strong Fulham from a couple of years ago vibes.

It’s already comical FFS. Mara’s been binned off/written off after 45 minutes… Lavia and Bazunu wouldn’t get into any other PL team… Ralph’s deliberately throwing matches… What a load of old pony. One thing I do agree with - we need at least one striker in who’s better than anyone we have. Without that, even a Klopp/Pep dream team would struggle.

Nmecha is decent and far more experienced than Mara. Or Adam Armstrong for that matter. He’s a full German international FFS.

Best day out last season, no question. Won’t be there today so fingers and toes crossed COYR

I approve this message.

If you take Erikssen out of Brentford they are -and were - bang average. Second season syndrome and relegation alongside Bompey for them. And I say that having stood through Brentford 3 Saints 0 not so long ago. But we weren’t bang average then, we were shite.

When he plays in the hole he always empties the tank though.

Swings and roundabouts. Tyler Dybling and £3.5m for Tino Livramento? Yes please. If he turns into a superstar we’ll buy him back in 2024/5 when he gets bored waiting for his chance behind Mason Mount and ten other midfielders. Good luck to the lad.

Have you got an invite code for the saintsweb league?

No fan of the Tories, but he hardly started out super rich. His family ran the Burgess Road chemist shop. Straight down the hill, past my house, to The Dell.

Was planning to buy first thing tomorrow when it went to premium members, as I go to more away than at home. if anyone finds their plans change and they have two spare tickets, I’d be very happy to snap them up. 🙏🏽

He’s already miles better than Dan Sheldon imo, who rarely told me anything I didn’t know. Might even keep my Athletic subscription as a result

Romeo Romeo Lavia Romeo He’s the best midfielder Romeo Never gives the ball away 1 2 3 4…

‘Saints are literally attacking in waves now, Des…’

Prepare for the endless ‘Saints may be wearing their new kit, Brian, but they look all at sea at the moment’ commentary lines. I quite like it. But does no one from the marketing team ever go to away games and hear how loud the ‘Yellows’ chant gets? I’m expecting the third kit to have a diving spitfire silhouetted against a massive yellow sun.

I love it. Apart from the sponsor of course. Any news on being able to buy shirts without logos? I’d be willing to pay a bit extra…

V relaxed about this. All the talk was about Pope or Johnson - and it’s Bazunu. All the talk was about Tarkovski or Sergio Ramos (I exaggerate) - and it’s Bella-Kotchap. All the talk was about Svanberg, and it’s… ?? Sambi-Lokonga loan? Someone we’ve never heard of? Proper way to do business. COYR

Bella-Kotchap’s magic He wears a magic hat He could’ve stayed at Bochum etc I’m pretty sure I remember reading when he made his German U21 debut that he said he really hated Pompey. Should fit right in.

Given the unusual nature of the season, the obvious time to make a change if needed would be after 16 games. New manager beds in during the World Cup. Very few of our players likely to be part of the QFs onwards (JWP maybe, who else?). 22 game season starts on Boxing Day.

Just need to be firing on all cylinders straight after the World Cup. No excuses. COYR
