CB Fry

There are made up "leaked" fixtures every year, so just as likely to be any other fixture than City away.

WHY HAVEN'T WE SIGNED ANYONE YET FFS.

Meltdown, what Meltdown. Promised a top coach with European level experience, and that's what we've got. There's a lesson for a few on this forum, but they won't learn it. Welcome big Ron.

I was going from a "trusted lieutenant" angle rather than playing style. Would prefer that to not be our first signing.

He's basically a Dutch Paul Telfer, right?

He can't. Just his usual drivel.

Says the man who has made a snidey remark to the tune of "well at least we'll have our precious stripes back" in one of his regular attacks on the club at least once a week every week since January.

This morning Five Live are reporting us "expecting to announce" later this week. I'd take that as today/tomorrow.

So pretty much every media outlet has reported our new manager as being Koeman and all seem to know we've offered him a contract and will announce this week. Good job we do our business in private, ain't it?

What that video says to me is that the Scottish League for half decent players is like playing FIFA on the piece of pi ss levels. Centre backs marauding forward and taking pot shots at goal? Dear god. And he takes the direct free kicks. Of course. All in all, get him in.

Immers, entirely from Wikipedia, looks underwhelming: 28, only ever played in Holland, no international caps. Let's not start buying Michael Neilssons again.

Glad I stuck with that until the last seconds. Nice one Butch Wilkins!

ITV is basically all the pundits from previous BBC tournaments. They're okay and they've been much worse as anyone who can remember Matthew Lorenzo will testify.

Apparently very hot on crosses.

I would have picked Sterling.

Wonderful outrage on here before kick off that England legend Adam Lallana dropped for Sterling. Funnily enough no one outside of the Saints Web bubble picked up on this earthquake of injustice. Why was that?

We're going to lose, but harsh to describe it as same old same old. I think we have shown better attacking intent than previously but we have lots of players who are pretty average. One of which, Adam Lallana, has just come on.

Loser-goes-home on Thursday at the moment.

Huh?

Costa Rica sash anyone?

It has not been airbrushed from history. Bleedin' wet blankets on here.

Not really. Not like Lallana is some established England stalwart. Playing either of them carries risk, and frankly Lallana has been a bit of a bellend recently so can't say I'm bothered. I'd rather see Lambert come on and do well to be honest.

A pretty shameful "Bury bad news" tactic from WBA. Already they've put themselves under massive pressure.

What "amazing" manager were you expecting?

Adkins managed his departure from Scunny better than MP managed his departure from Saints. Lambert managed his departure from Saints better than MP did. It's how it is done, not the fact that it is done. Nice try at slating Nigel but utterly unfounded.
