Nordic Saint

Why do you think we're being linked with him?

He must indeed be very good to get people to believe that Everton or anybody else actually wanted McCarthy.

It would be good to have safe standing in Block 18, directly behind the goal. Perhaps 15 to 18?

If you tell the Club about your initiative at the Fans' Forum, they will be probably help. It's long been rumoured that they and especially the players wanted the Chapel to be turned into a proper home end.

Saints have needed a proper home end for years and thanks to your efforts, it looks like we are at last going to get one. Well done and thank you for organising it.

He's the level of player we are recruiting to build a mid-table Championship team. I'd expect a few more like him to arrive as we aspire to become the new Swansea.

McCarthy and Bree are still lurking there when they really shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the first team.

"We are cordon bleu chefs. We take our ingredients wherever we go."

That was 43 years ago. I was at that game too. In those days if we didn't have a game, Saints' fans used to go down to Fratton to support the opposition and Pompey fans did the same at the Dell, especially when we played Millwall. Spurs won 2-1, which pleased us. After one of those friendlies at Fratton Park a Pompey fan got thrown under a moving train during the brawl that ensued.

I'm sure a few academy signings from Man City and Chelsea and some free transfers and loan signings will get 8/10 from most posters on here.

I'll believe 'Martin's honest views on the pros' if he never plays McCarthy or Bree again. If he does, then they're just empty words.

Neither is McCarthy and we've been stuck with him for 8 years. If you're not good enough it means you stay because nobody else wants you.

Who on earth would come in for McCarthy??? We are the only club stupid enough to play him.

McCarthy keeps reappearing like a bad penny. Does this mean he's going to be our cup goalkeeper for the whole season? How depressing.

If you know any Pompey fans, I'm sure they'll enjoy these stats: Sheffield Wednesday's opening game last season: Sheff Wed 3-3 Pompey. attendance: 26,901 (2,000 away fans) Sheffield Wednesday's opening game this season: Sheff Wed 1-2 Saints. attendance 28,558 (3,000 away fans)

A win is a win. Great to see us start a season with one. I predict the Norwich game will be sold out. Another win then and the stadium won't be big enough.

They're following the instructions to do that. It's all about the passing stats. Sheffield Wednesday are a very poor team, especially now they've lost Darren Moore. If our more skilful players went on solo runs, they'd rip through their defence, like Amo-Ameyaw and Sulemana did against Liverpool at the end of last season.

Unless we get a decent goalkeeper in, the efforts of our outfield players will count for little, other than being part of some high scoring defeats..

If there was one man you wouldn't want to lead you into battle..... It's depressing enough for the players, as well as the fans, to see McCarthy in goal but to see him made captain as well just about destroys all hope.

Let's hope Chaz and Dave don't read this or we'll soon be hearing Tottenham versions of all of these.

The transfers of Romeu to Barcelona and Fonte to Braga highlight the increasing number of players who've gone on to play in the Champions League after leaving Saints. Fonte has already for Lille and Romeu did for Chelsea, but both are likely to play in it again this season for their new clubs. These spring to mind: Forster for Spurs Hojbjerg for Spurs Wanyama for Spurs Alderweireld for Spurs Lallana for Liverpool Clyne for Liverpool Lovren for Liverpool Mane for Liverpool van Dijk for Liverpool Shaw for Man United Schneiderlin for Man United Chambers for Arsenal Fonte for Lille Stekelenburg for Ajax Tadic for Ajax How many others are there who've played in the Champions League after leaving St Mary's?

They are in the Champions League this season. We certainly couldn't have offered him that.

To accompany a record 156 passing move from Alex McCarthy to Adam Armstrong and back again.

Russell Martin's teams don't exactly get off to flying starts to their seasons. I guess they are too busy concentrating on their passing stats. One win from their opening 8 games is about par: Swansea 2022-23 30 July Rotherham United 1–1 Swansea City D 6 August 2Swansea City 0–3 Blackburn Rovers L 13 August Blackpool 0–1 Swansea City W 16 August Swansea City 2–2 Millwall D 20 August Swansea City 0–2 Luton Town L 27 August Middlesbrough 2–1 Swansea City L 31 August Stoke City 1–1 Swansea City D Swansea 2021-22 7 August Blackburn Rovers 2–1 Swansea City L 14 August Swansea City 0–0 Sheffield United D 17 August Swansea City 1–3 Stoke City L 20 August Bristol City 0–1 Swansea City W 28 August Preston North End 3–1 Swansea City L 11 September 2 Swansea City 0–0 Hull City D 15 September Swansea City 0–0 Millwall D 18 September Luton Town 3–3 Swansea City D MK Dons 2020-21 12 September Doncaster Rovers Away 1–1 D 19 September 2Lincoln CityHome 1–2 L 26 September Crewe AlexandraAway 0–2 L 3 October Ipswich Town Home 1–1 D 10 October Portsmouth Away 1–2 L 17 October 0Gillingham Home 2–0 W 20 October Oxford United Away 2–3 L 24 October Blackpool Away 0–1 L
