Wrong, it's impossible to know what is just paper talk and what's genuine but Van Dijk was linked with Spurs and Everton, Mane - Manchester City, Spurs and West Ham and Wanyamma - Arsenal, Liverpool and Everton amongst others.

17th - 17th given the run in we had was a good achievement. Was he supposed to beat Arsenal away and Chelsea or City at home then to do well in your opinion?

We've just accumulated too many average players. It would be interesting to know how much it costs in wages to keep the likes of Forster, Davis, Long, Ward-Prowse who contribute the square root of **** all to our first team. We are obviously working under more of a budget now as well which means recruitment have to work harder to find players they can flog on. Players like Wanyamma, Mane and Van **** had top clubs sniffing around when we signed them, not sure who we beat off to sign Armstrong and Elyounoussi.

Bournemouth are in the lucky position of having an owner (with cash), chairman and manager all buying into the same plan. A bit like us under Marcus. Saints at the moment appear to be a mess from the top down.

It’s fine calling for Reed to go but do we really trust Gao and Kruger to pick the right successor? Frying pan - fire springs to mind. Unless we get an owner willing to invest we are going to go down at some point in the near future, might as well just accept it.

If you have a bunch of overpaid average players the last thing you want is relegation. Our only hope is that we somehow stay up the next few years while the ****e see out their contracts.

Because we lost two, one being our best player and still have a load of dead wood wasting squad positions and wages. Why exactly are Davis and Long still here? Even JWP could have been upgraded.

I would go with... --------------McCarthy-------------- Cedric---Yoshida---Vest---Bertrand ---------Romeu---Lemina---------- Redmond--Armstrong--Elyounoussi ----------------Ings------------------ I think our season depends on how Armstrong and Elyounoussi get on. We struggled for creativity last season, they flogged our best player so if these two don't come up trumps we are going to struggle massively. We needed a big shake up with our attacking players in the summer but we didn't get it.

I dunno, if we go down he would probably be a starter.

Didn’t watch the Everton game but I thought he was our most dangerous player against Burnley. Guess what, young players can improve.

I don’t think our players are as good as most people think.

What a ****e draw.

Nasty piece of work LOL! He’s a tree-hugging, vegetarian pacifist who’s spent half his life campaigning against racism. You don’t even believe the nonsense you post, it just suits your sad blue v red agenda.

I totally agree that he is a political car crash, that's why he shouldn't be anywhere near leader of labour let alone the country. There's a big difference between being a well meaning idiot with poor judgement than a terrorist-loving racist.

He's an idiot for getting himself associated with something so toxic politically if he wants to be leader - he should be more careful about who he stands near. But as a campaigner for Palestinian rights he's bound to have rubbed shoulders with some dodgy ****ers in the past. I don't think it's anything worth wetting your pants over.

So he didn't lay it on a terrorist shine, only on another one near it?

I would probably go with: ------------------McCarthy----------------- Cedric----Yoshida---Vestergaard----Bertand ----------Romeu----------Lemina---------- Elyounoussi----Armstrong------Redmond --------------------Ings---------------------- Can't see us getting anything though.

Because if you stand near someone you obviously share their views.

Redmond for me, looked our most dangerous player by far.

You’re completely missing the point as usual. You don’t go down for a half time pint to savour the quality of the beer, it’s a social thing - you put up with drinking luke-warm p!ss because you are having a laugh with your mates. Hard concept for some on here to grasp I know.

Don’t be so judgmental, you’d might fancy going for a half-time pint if you had any friends.

Apparently it's being refurbished. Typical Saints, a whole summer to sort it out and they wait until the season kicks-off.

A draw was probably a fair result, Burnley could have had a couple in the first half but we had our chances in the second. The players certainly looked happier once we changed to a back four. Redmond had a great game and Ings changed the game when he came on - it was so refreshing to see proper movement from a front player, I think he will prove to be a fantastic signing.

Because Liverpool wouldn’t agree to it?

To the tune of that World Cup kick, kick song: Ings, Ings, Ings, Ings, Danny, Danny, Ings, Ings Ings, Ings, Ings, Ings, Danny, Danny, Ings, Ings Ings, Ings, Ings, Ings, Danny, Danny, Ings, Ings Ings, Ings, Ings, Ings, Danny, Danny, Ings, Ings and repeat
