It's on Amazon Prime..

Ah right! Giving your age away a bit, only the nippers went in there..:-)

I think he meant to play, not entertain in the Hospitality suite.. But the point stands, it's not a situation you can really plan or pay for, and hopefully it'll accelerate the development of players such as Nduludu.

Not the boxes of chocolate then?

But you haven't answered Trousers' question.. 😉

At least judging from that photograph it's not that we're waiting for him to grow or bulk up a bit like some of the youngsters..

What are the EW odds? 🙂

I think the observations were that he didn't seem at 100%, which would seem reasonable. From just the issue of match fitness I was surprised he lasted so long, but if your body has been fighting an infection it's best not to overdo it. But at least we have options now which is a far better position to be in.

That was what I was pondering too. I didn't think Armstrong was 100% on Sunday and giving his body a chance might be a wise idea.

I'm not sure I can afford Saints playing like this as I watched down the pub and had more than usual... In control, and although I was twitchy once or twice (I've supported Saints for a very long time) in the end I was relaxed and thought I'd support my local pub with another pint - even had to point out they'd missed off the last one when I asked to pay my tab. There was so much slick passing going on. Even though I don't understand Redmond being MoM either he did, like everyone else, work his socks off. The sort of game we really missed watching live..

I noticed that, so immediately said to myself 'so we won't then..'

🙂 Glad I read the small print..

Don't explain, demonstrate!:-)

It's on Sky so if the pubs are open I hope to see the game.. But if we ever did this for Southampton I'd contribute even if I haven't got a telly.

Also disciplined at the end not just throwing in a cross which could have lead to a Chelsea counter-attack.

Initially I was of the second opinion, but then I realised it was deliberate and probably under instruction - JWP also had the opportunity to cross. As it was we still managed another chance and when it came to the Chelsea goal kick it was after the extra time period was up.

I've always thought you post a lot of merde but think you're on the mark with this one. It's good to see the recent proposals by Liverpool and Manchester United being turned down by the other clubs: basically showing that they don't trust them. The proposals, in the longer term, are really not for the general good of football. We really don't want a Bayern or Juventus situation; far better to be able to have the sort of result Aston Villa achieved the other day, or Leicester the otrher season, to the delight I reckon of every neutral football fan.

In other England news I see they are short of a left back. An article in The Guardian with a few interesting comments BTL re Bertrand as well: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/oct/14/the-guppy-paradox-are-englands-left-sided-woes-back-to-haunt-them

OK guys, there's a hint of ear lobe there...

I have a very random memory, but I seem to recall it was as much as 150K, and Swindon had rather forgotten about it until the cheque from Rupert Lowe appeared. My own feelings on the transfer are that the smile in the photographs appear genuine and not the forced PR jobs we sometimes see. I suspect he was genuinely pleased to see us in for him rather than going to one of the other random suitors, and if that can be reflected in motivation in training and on the pitch we may have a very useful addition to the squad even if he can't manage 90 minutes of Ralph's pressing. Obafemi sometimes seems not capable of that when coming on for 20 minutes. He never left under a cloud like some players do, and the fans remember that.

Ooh, I'm not going to get sniffy at any of those suggestions!

New one on me, but beffa can also be translated as hoax or practical joke, which is basically what the fans think about it.

Thanks. I thought Djenepo would start - all the press about him, and Redmond coming back from injury. No Bouffal.. Off to the pub in 40 minutes: with this shitty weather should get my table and persuade them not to show the Leicester game..

Heh? How much are beers in NZ?..

If it's working days I make that next Thursday but I won't notice anyway as it was via my credit card.
