Perhaps they are one and the same.....

Saints game second to last tonight...

Yes......interesting though that Ralph said that everyone apart from those we already knew about were OK in his presser.

Interesting that aposter who joined a week ago is immediately so vocal and "controversial". Could another "dual" personality member could it?

RH in presser said only Tella missing...everyone else apart from Lyanco and McCarthy in training and available.

Surely we would know by now....Bournemouth v Forest seems to still be on tonight according to Sky Sports.

I think that what really pissed people off around the Koeman period was not losing the "big" players, but losing so many at more or less the same time. A steady, controlled model of player turnover is the intention here....

Yay!! The little man with a bell on his hat has made a reappearance....

Bigger than being third, fourth or fifth best?

Not really....it is two results. A big difference is never being good enough to get to a semi-final...

To quote Maggie May "Two FA Cup semi finals and a League Cup final in the last five years suggests we were almost within touching distance of silverware. I think attempting to achieve respectable league placings and decent cup runs each year is absolutely what we should be aiming for." Not forgetting a fairly recent European adventure.....

Just looking at the EPL Twitter account. The profile picture at the top is of Newcastle players with Trippier in the centre......just saying....

I buy my ST to watch Saints play........11 men in red and white stripes. To a degree I don't care which 11 it is as long as they give 100% and make me feel proud. Did I love having VvD, for example, with us? Yes of course. Was I disappointed when he left? Yes of course, but getting £75M eased the pain......just a pity that it was basically wasted. I actually look forward to carrying on with (and improving on) the business model that we have had for a while - sign exciting young talent, enjoy having them as they develop for a couple of seasons, sell for big money, bring the next load in. The days of players staying with clubs for life or most of their careers has gone. I would much rather see exciting, developing young players like Tino etc, than regularly bringing in expensive mercenaries with no real loyalty to the club, looking for their next big payday. Having said all that, would I also like to see that we are still able to have the occasional "one-club man" (JWP?)....oh yes.

Back then, I helped run the Travel Club, and worked in the Club shop on matchdays, and remember hearing a number of times from people that were on the staff at the Dell, that Mr Branfoot was going to make a very good manager Someday.....didn't quite happen...

Gameperiods?

Trippier has broken his foot.....Kharma??

Results coming in....

This and music from the Genesis "Duke" album.

Don't like to go back looking at previous threads, but what a difference a couple of weeks make....

Would be happy with that...

Blimey, yet another expression I need to get used to.....what preferred pronouns I wonder....??

Stop the game and give a free kick then??

RH not involved?

As I was unable to watch the game and nothing was mentioned on MoD, what actually kicked off on the touchline after the Broja foul/Spuds 2nd?

Yeah.....it's Noddy....or summfink.....
