I hate how often Djenepo dives when he has legitimate options.

Will only work with a VPN

Will be on the Athletic Bilbao Youtube channel I believe. https://www.youtube.com/c/AthleticClubTV/featured

We'll score first but still lose.

That seems to be the case according to the Palace forum.

I suppose not.

I was hoping, as a supposed Saints fan, he would only leave for Champions League so it's very surprising and disappointing to find he's refused our contract to make him our highest ever paid (so I imagine minimum £100k p/w) in favour of a move to a mid table team in Villa. Still, suddenly we find ourselves with a pretty large transfer budget with £30m (minus whatever Liverpool get) coming in and Ings' wages off the bill. Could be an exciting August but we have to get it right!

What a strange move. Villa must have given us a damn good offer though.

So, will JWP play today? I wish they weren't so secretive about this injury because its fueling speculation.

Not to derail the thread but I'm not sure anyone expected Brexit to have an immediate positive impact and most expected early teething problems. I don't think a true judgement can be made for a few years yet as we diverge from the EU.

I can't see Villa turning his head. They've been on a better trajectory than us but remain a mid table club and a direct rival. Without Grealish, they will remain a mid table club that could get dragged down into a dogfight much like us. Regarding the price, I can't see Saints accepting an offer below £50m given the current market and how much pocket money we know Villa have. Add to that, we'd be losing a captain and a key player with 4 years on his contract.

Very nice counter attack for the 0-4

Long getting into all the right positions and making all the right runs but still can't finish. Frustrating player.

We're linking up really well after these subs. Tella, Adams, Redmond and Diallo especially. Redmond has been class.

Excellent from Djenepo.

He is still slow of the mark but he's not making any runs or finding the space to get into dangerous positions. Hasn't done anything with the ball either.

Salisu is great at reading the game and tackling but my god he's dodgey on the ball.

Elyounoussi has been missing for the first 45. Just how I remember him. Hopefully we're looking for an attacking midfielder because he doesn't convince me.

Saw this on Twitter yesterday. Turned out to be a false report. Telegraph haven't made any such article.

Are there not other avenues of income besides transfers that help increase our budget such as prize money and television rights?

England fans will have known how the Danes felt.

Yeah, after our early goal, we really didn't do that much. It was a disappointing performance given the players at our disposal and the importance of the occasion. I thought we looked knackered after 60 minutes but didn't make a sub until the 70th by which point Italy had already equalised and taken the initiative. You could tell Mancini had managed major finals before by keeping his team fresh throughout the game.

Where were the experienced players for the pens?

Sterling has been awful so far today. Surprised he's still on the pitch.
