Didn't think we'd be above West Ham & Burnley after 3 games. With the best GD in the division too! Millwall hadnt conceded before today, good day at the office 👍

Very assumptive! Or were you spying on our analysts?

Any links to watch? (please)

Im sorry you took it personally, it wasnt meant that way, and not sure why youthought it was said with anger? I was calm in my thoughts and post. And I dont know what you mean by 'promoted by you in more than one post week alone' as I havent made any other posts? I was just browsing through the comments about our new signing and was surprised how many people were 'judging' him. I never said anybody had written him off. People saying he looks an 'average Championship player at best', 'really not impressed by him', 'Temu Redmond', 'been woeful so far', 'weird signing', etc. My post was just highlighting how quickly people are able to make those judgements already. I love the forum because of it's melting pot of opinions, I dont think anyone should hold back on thoughts, thats the point of a discussion forum afterall and it would be pretty boring around here if they did. Apologies if you took it personally, lets mutually hope for a Dobbin brace this weekend!

Are we seriously judging him after 57 minutes of league football for us!? This gets earlier every season Maybe we could give him at least 10-15 games before writing him off at his new club (new system, etc)?

Given that this is the new 'Away' Goalkeeper shirt, surely we couldnt have the outfield players also wearing a blue swirly patterned shirt at the same time? I thought the outfield shirts had to be quite opposite to what the keeper wears? https://store.southamptonfc.com/kit/goalkeeper-kit/adults/4440_away-gk-shirt-2627-adult.html

They'd have to want to sign you. I have absolutely no idea if the Blackburn rumour is true, but I doubt he has too many options (due to his injuries and salary expectations) so maybe they are the best 'northern' option avaialble to him, if thats what he's looking for.

I've had a reply... The ticket priority windows are the same for both Standard Membership and Membership Plus holders, so there is no additional priority access to tickets with Membership Plus. However, Membership Plus does include a number of additional benefits, including: A £10 retail voucher One complimentary match ticket for two Category A, B or C fixtures (subject to availability and terms).

Does anyone know if the 'Membership Plus' accounts will have a priority window to buy tickets before standard Memberships? Or will they share the same purchase window? Not a huge amount more value between the two otherwise for me, to justify the extra cost. I may have missed it somewhere, but I did email the club to ask... and obviously no reply.

I'm not too disappointed by Dan Neil moving to Rangers, having read this on the Ipswich Forum and spoken with a friend who is an Ipswich ST Holder, it seems he's pretty average: https://www.twtd.co.uk/forum/629721/dan-neil/page:1

Is Manning's brother any good?

Surely it’s only fair if he goes in goal for Boro for a bit? 46 league games for them, and we can use him in cups?

I have a small snippet worth sharing... I had dinner/drinks with a senior Saints director back in 2016, and as the drinks flowed, he started to share a few things he probably shouldnt have. One of which was that he said Fonte had come back from the Euro's in 2016 like Billy Big B*llocks (after winning it with Portugal), and that he was demanding a big pay rise, otherwise he wanted to move on (personally I think thats fair enough, he was 32 at the time, had players like Ronaldo around him all summer, was a Euros winner and probably felt it was his last chance of a big/fair contract). But the interesting part was that the Saints director told us that we were absolutely not willing to give him a new contract, as ALL of his metrics (fitness, pace, etc) had actually been in the decline for a few years and we were already keen to move him on in the near future, so this made the decision easy for the club. Incredible to think he managed another 10 years of playing! Admittedly didn't have a great time with West Ham, Braga, etc, but he did mange 5 brilliant seasons in the middle of that with Lille, playing 196 games and winning Ligue 1. Proper Saints legend, it would be great to see him back with us in some capacity one day.

For me, it 100% comes down to what the playing squad think…. If (and it’s a big if, and I’d assume not likely) they want him to stay, and feel they want to give it another go next season with a siege mentality and all stick together, then I would be happy for him to stay (the football played and the results he got, make him a better option than the risk and upheaval of a new manager) But… If (and I assume it’s most likely) they are disgusted by it all and want him gone and can’t forgive him for taking their chance away, then I want him gone. Bielsa did the same remember (it was only the punishment was lesser) and he was forgiven and loved again (like a god) by the Leeds fans (and media!)
