Yep, just had a look. Think I recognized two of the Brighton names. Mind you, don't think Saints have a second team that could do that.

Wasn't6 it just! Just got in from training, found a link, found we were 1-0 down then that. You could see it all happening in slow motion.

But as a realistic poster you know we won't, indeed can't, for what we're prepared to spend. It's a shame, as I was always optimistic when he was on the pitch even if I was generally disappointed..

Does too! Just not in association football..

He could pocket a few this season..

I agree with this, and as Stevy points out he was unlucky with injuries last season. Also I don't think 'not a bit part role' means starting every game, but more not 'only considered when we're desperate'. i don't think he's fit for today, is he? Which would rather illustrate the problem.

I see what you mean. Short staccato sentences. written with a 12 year old's vocabulary. Not a bright one.

These summarise it for me. The Bordeaux experience doesn't bode well either.

Thanks, I couldn't remember the details..

Yeah, load the debt back on to the club.. Not even Gao's excuse of trying to get his money out of China.

I know, Saturday night! I feel guilty already but off to source a hazmat suit.

Just put my head round the door of one of the village pubs as I cycled back from the allotment: they will have it on but can't guarantee a place due to current rules.. Think I'll risk it..

Didn't he have injuries last season which was why he was eased back in with subs appearances? RH sees him every day in training and can see the attitude and skills so if he wants him he must have confidence in him.

My recollection of Keane is just being a violent thug. Would that be a fair view?

Me?! Do anything illegal? /clutches pearls/.. Very sensible! Mind you, had a table to myself and plenty of space when I watched some of the restart games there. Everybody was being very good with the hand gel and washing although I don't know whether that has relaxed much as I haven't been back. Seeing as we've restarted football training and had our first friendly (and even that had to be registered with the FA) there seem plenty of opportunities to pass it on elsewhere..

Yeah, that's a good point. Where I go has an outside area, which may possibly help, and 3pm on a Saturday is not particularly busy. It's difficult to plan anything at the moment. The government doesn't even bother trying. I might take the opportunity to travel from Hampshire to Scotland for a Covid test..

I've only read a minute by minute report in a newspaper, but surely JWP and Ings must be pleased they weren't part of that? Glad I didn't make the effort to watch.

Yep, I opften don't get some of the references in Squires' cartoons, but there's always someone helpful below the line -- Note the logo is taped on..

Hurrah, the BTSport pub finder lists a few locally, although I find it's always best to see if there's anything competing on and phone the pub. But it's some guaranteed pints sold (number depending on how stressful the game is) for the pub..

Have a look at David Squires' cartoon in The Guardian today - look closely.. 🙂

No September posts on this thread: it's either lockdown or the site issues. Surely there must be something to laugh at?

Poor old Brighton. Hide the pallets..

I'm still going to Betty's..

Blimey. With the site problems I've been missing the pessimistic posts as well as more cheerful ones!
