You probably agree with Raging Bull as well!

Don't exaggerate, not a beer gut amongst them. Anyway, job done, win, good sweat and a bit of PR.

It's like playing against a team of underweight Clasies.

It's difficult to tell but certainly Johnson, Barnes and Dan N' are on. Possibly Jankewitz too? Et al..

Think that's a bit unfair from what I've seen. My stream seems to have gone back to pre-match!

We can't see you but we can't hear you either. Sing up! :-)

Notable is the pressing and passing through the lines. Although Che's goal was a keeper error it's good to see him hitting it hard and quickly not allowing the keeper to set himself. Interesting to hear the announcement of the prize draw for the Saints shirts; Portuguese, Chinese (Cantonese?) and then English.

Half time: the stream is showing 4-0 , but Slattery's cracking volley was disallowed, I believe, for someone on the line impeding the keeper.

Valery 3

Incidentally Long got the penalty following a cracking through ball between the lines.

Penalty saved, good follow up by Valery but even better by the defender.

Just got in. Water break, thanks for the links and the team news Trousers. ;-)

It is. 13.00 hours our time. Most, but not all, there are a lot of old fogies on here. Plus Trousers, who I think works but seems to post at most times of the day.. ;-)

That would be a fun exercise for the end of a training session, I might suggest it to our manager. He could offer a fiver and with our players the money would be safe!

Well, we're certainly showing off the future in our China squad. It'll be interesting to see who is going to Ireland and who is left out completely..

Yes, I wonder if not signing the contract was what led to his absence in the friendlies?

Chuckles and s******s...

She forgot to put her shorts on, but luckily the shirt is long enough..

Nutters then! :-) ..And rich!

Given that they weren't on the bench either I presume there'll be a few first teamers already guaranteed for the China trip: Romeu, JWP, Yoshida, Valery, McCarthy, Mo. I wonder if any of the shop window mob will go, in the hope they get left behind or bought by some local team with more money than sense? Who else will go, does anyone wish to speculate?

Saints twitter feed showing the goal. That was appalling defending at a basic level..

That's a Cabbage Face type of joke, consider yourself told off. :-)

Saints Twitter: Bodin finds space in the box before curling an unstoppable left-footed effort beyond the reach of @AngusGunn01.

LOL. Shop window eh?

Well, Pilchards does Staplewood, we've got someone at Soton Airport, but can't remember who was on Yacht Watch.. On the language front you can often understand a lot more than you are able to say; anyone remember Pochettino using an interpreter when he perfectly understood the question? I'd give a bit o leeway there, particular for such a different language as Chinese (whichever variety they speak).
