That was my first thought, one can live in hope!

Absolute weapon that guy.

Great, several more years of the hilarious 'welcome to Liverpool in 2 years' jokes.

Found it now, looks gash…

Strange, when I looked on the store earlier they had the away shirt with the Starling Bank sponsor on it (in purple!) but it appears to have vanished now.

What with that and Willy pulling out of Saints, it’s been a crazy day.

That Barnsley shirt is based on one they wore in the late eighties. To be fair, they may have a forum somewhere where they’re all laughing at our one!

Let's face it, Saints and starting slowly are synonymous with one another.

Agreed. You can't make such bold statements when there are so many unknowns. After a half dozen games maybe, but not now.

I’m sincerely not trying to say this in a disingenuous way, but he reminds me of David Brent (only younger and in better shape). Let’s hope he’s a better manager!

Surprisingly, no. I guess I'm just interested in what's the most popular choice, especially in light of the damning publicity yesterday about betting companies and football. I'm not a fan of the shirt so won't be buying, but if I did then would go for the bank one.

Yeah, this remains the big concern in my head with JWP. How much of our weak mentality was on him as captain? I guess I'm pretty apathetic about whether he stays or goes, but on reflection, it would be sad to see such a long-serving player depart and it would be cool if he helped us back up next season. That for me would cement his status as a player on a similar footing to MLT and SRL.

LOL @egg, so what does that reaction mean?

All recent events have told me if that a departure isn't immediately forthcoming. It's not even July yet, so anything can happen in the next two months or so. Gut feel is that he'll be off if any established / top 10 team go for him, and I don't think anyone would begrudge him that (assuming the fee was right). On the flip side, no-one can doubt his commitment to Saints and that's why he's still featuring prominently. Definitely a case of carry on as normal unless told otherwise I'd say.

What home shirt have people gone for? > Laugh for Sportbet > Confused for Starling Bank > Sad for neither

Damn. Came here with a bag full of Dyson jokes and they’ve all been done.

Yup, hence why I also mentioned milestones (England caps, that sort of thing) in case he stays there his whole career.

The thing with Tino is that I think most of us feel there is a really great player there, but we haven't actually seen it for any extended period of time. Therefore, some of us are probably valuing him based on what he has the potential to become with us, whereas others are basing it on the reality of what he's achieved to date. All things considered, I'd say £20-£25m wouldn't be an unrealistic price at this time, but I'd be whacking sizeable sell-on fees / milestones to that as he could well become a world class player in the future.

You need to be more specific. Walkers no, McCoys maybe, Monster Munch definitely!

Posted ages ago… 👍🏻

Yes, but the club ended up offering everyone a free shirt so probably wasn't great commercially for them.

I purchased the blue and yellow flame shirts when Saints re-issued them a few years back. Not quite as good as the Admiral originals but still awesome!
