The point is the first 11 won't be the players we have now plus two. The whole squad and team will be thrown up in the air and none of us have any idea what the 1-11 will be on August 1st.

Well, it's a really excellent day for the divs on here that have been saying since February "well, actually, this weekend is not a "must win game" at all, you people don't know the true meaning of the word" Fill your fucking boots lads. Must win games agogo.

Well, you don't know that. William was front and centre of the ceremony, seems to get on with Camilla pretty well and probably wouldn't agree with your snidey misogynistic description of "that old woman following the King around". I've answered your question about why she is accepted as Queen now but not 20 years ago. Time moves on, things move on. That's the answer, it's not a mystery.

We all know your view.

We were absolutely not by far the better team, although it is true that Forest were pretty poor. We just gifted them chances over and over. I don't really think you can just say that next season we just need two players being that virtually the entire squad will be different.

Sky will be desperate for us to win to keep the relegation battle as interesting as possible and continue to pretend we are actually part of it.

I was at the same coronation brunch with SOG and sat opposite me eating a cucumber sandwich was an Anglican Bishop in Full SS Uniform.

Because 20 years have elapsed?

If only you had mentioned this before.

Keep me up like you did that sword

Transfer visionary = has Disney Plus

If we had anything about us we'd immediately appoint the Wrexham manager. No other football club has ever been promoted before and they've done it because Wrexham Wrexham Wrexham vision vision Wrexham vision. But typical our club won't do it because we lack vision or something.

Rough night sleeping on the pavement on The Mall but we've made friends with a lovely family from Kettering and some absolute reprobates from Canada kept us laughing through the night. What a Blitz spirit down here and we've got a great spot so excited my facepaint keeps running

We signed Lambert for a big fee on the back of him being League One player of the year and top scorer in the division. Which was also the division we were in at the time. So everyone I remember was delighted with that. It certainly wasn't a "visionary" signing. It was a League One version of City signing Haaland, the best available striker at that level and we got him because we had coin. Rickie Lambert also never kicked a non league ball in his life. What has any of this got to do with us as one of the richest clubs in the second tier signing a 28 year old from Non League with no decent League record to speak of? Honestly this is not going well for you.

Give it a rest. Just some bloke from a club on a TV show. Unlike Vardy he's already played hundreds of matches in the Football League and he'll be 29 next season. I think Vardy was winning the Premier League by that age, not still twatting about in Non League. Oh what a visionary you are.

So we are going to continue to appoint utterly shit managers and waste huge amounts of money on players that barely even make the bench? That's a bit of a shame to be honest.

Silverlake Stadium sized mentality.

100%. Absolutely ridiculous for anyone to say it was a panic decision. They were falling over themselves to say how much they had monitored him and the due diligence they'd done, and how his failure at Stoke was a good thing actually because he had learnt from it etc etc etc. And hoe they nearly gave him the job four months before. Absolutely clear-eyed focused strategic decision on their part. And what an absolute fucking disaster. Ditto the summer window and absolute failure to solve the glaring gaps and ditto January window ("everything we are doing is focused on staying up") where they spend fifty plus million on several players of which one has become genuinely central to the squad and two of them barely feature even on the bench. Fuck up upon fuck up.

I would describe this match for us as miniscule and utterly without consequence. Looking forward to it though as I predict Forest will shit the bed and relegate themselves.

No idea why any Saints fan would want that. It's only 18 months - 2 years to wait for the "where did it all go wrong for Brighton" articles. And the forum experts will already have moved on to the next "oh why oh why can't we be like them" club just like they quickly forgot about Leicester and Swansea etc etc.

Jesus wept.

Just putting it out there that our first eleven next season will have six players in it we don't know yet.

You seem to be massively over estimating our specialness. Why won't City allow him to go to another Premier League club? I think an incredibly likely scenario is City buy him back and immediately loan him to Palace or Fulham or Brighton or whoever. Second most likely is City buy him back and put him in their squad. There's a potential theory that we lend him to a club like Palace with an expectation that we can profit from selling him the following season to a CL club or he plays a second PL season for us when we go up first time. But not that likely.
