Blackmore hinting that Sugawara will be off. Makes sense as he has greater sell-on value.

All down to what happens in the next 2 weeks. After Will’s post-match comments I have a strong hunch Fernandes & Dibling will go. If that happens, and we don’t replace them adequately then I’ll start to worry… I’m really hoping the club (Spors) have this in hand, but I’m not convinced some of the players we’re being linked with are anywhere close to the quality we’ll need. Without that creative spark our squad starts to look incredibly pedestrian and two-dimensional.

Ipswich & Leicester (last knockings) in successive home games as I recall? Nothing infuriates me more.

Excellent cross for their goal. One of the few getting no stick on their forum. Rothwell not faring so well…

Or maybe not! 🤣

It’s coming true…

I believe it’s called 5-dimensional chess…

Game time… not sure he played much for Brentford. Was out on loan at PNE last season I think.

They’ve lost their three key players, but have recruited some quality too. Think it’ll be a big test today. Not convinced we’re ‘clicking’ in the final third…

Winnable, but shit for fans…

Must be the most northernmost club in the ‘South section’…😫

Will puts it all into perspective. And I feel less concerned about it now… https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0lwl7gn

The only highlight…

And the parents will be buying food and drink. Not sure why people are so het up about this… makes sense to maximise revenue on-site.

Climbing walls are ‘woke’? Who knew…

The fanzone bars are very busy. They’ve done an excellent job with them in fairness. Latest thing is a bit left-field but I think kids will love it and if it raises a bit more revenue then it’s fine with me.

Other way around…

Perhaps we see things differently, but some of the comments👇spill into personal abuse for me (and this was a 10 min scan of Saints Web - the abuse on Twitter & UI was way worse). Let’s remind ourselves - they are not slagging off an opposition player, but a Saints player and our captain no less. No one is above criticism - for the record I have said many times I don’t think Jack is our best CB - but can we not keep criticism civil when talking about players who pull on the Saints shirt and try their best? A plank of wood. Shouldn't be anywhere near the first team. He's a liability. Doesn't have one single redeemable attribute He's gash - genuinely wracking my brain for one thing he is good at... Has no inherent footballing brain He’s as thick as… Fucking shit Equally shite in all of them [playing roles] Zero knowledge outside his position … no idea what that is or any tactical awareness. As for ‘the haters’ it’s a well known term among ‘the kids’ (I’m not one but I have two teenagers who use it all the time about all sorts…). Adidas even used it in their advertising. Funny that that term produced outrage though, while the comments about Jack are passed off as ‘reasonable criticism’. Hey ho…

🎯👏

Really?

Even if Stephens miraculously has a good, non error strewn season and Saints go up, the 2 extra years are pointless curly turds. Spors seems a halfwitted helmet already just based on this single decision. On 27/07/2025 at 22:39, beatlesaint said: A plank of wood would do a better job.

He was excellent today… looks like a totally different proposition. Great to have him back.

Jack, Baz, Manning - liabilities… … who’d have thought it? 😈😇

YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! F**k the haters!!!! 😇😇😇

Love the tifo…

Totally calm honey-bunch, merely pointing out that whinging about Stephen’s all season is unlikely to change the minds of the people who employ him…
