Not sure that there is a lot of love lost between us and Newcastle at the moment so Saints will play real hard-ball I would imagine.....

Interesting that Mike Channon made a point of mentioning the statue tonight and that one of the Saints videos featured Ted Bates....

Wow! You knew his surname!!😁

That's wacist!!

How will we ever really know? Do we take down the state because he might have done?

A statue of Markus......until someone finds out that he was a Panzer tank driver during WWll.....

So if Bates DID report them to the Board and the Board did nothing, is that still Bates' fault? Would that justify his statue being removed? Will we ever know exactly what went went on?

Indeed, and habitual criminals are invariably very good at covering up their crimes. If there "may" have been an issue with Ted Bates knowledge or otherwise of Higgins misdemeanours, why not take a vote amongst fans as to whether the statue stays or goes, rather than taking a knee-jerk reaction that may alienate more than it appeases?

.....and Carlos.....

It's more to do with them supposedly "playing the system" to get games called off until they had strengthened........or cheating as some would see it.

Amazing considering how "bang on average" he is to some on here...

I posted something similar earlier in the thread but got a bit shot down for some reason. Seems a reasonable thought to me....

I said to my son-in-law at the Brentford game, that I don't understand the way that JWP is dismissed or underrated by some on here. He is not flashy, but he is a superb player. If he was playing for another team, people here would be heaping praise on him and wishing he played for us....

A name from the past....

As we have had the pre-match presser and the possibility of calling the game off wasn't mentioned, unless something really drastic happens, look like it will go ahead.....

😳 Mysoginistic, sexist....your asking to be deplatformed!!

I always feel a bit sad when I see the amount of stick that Shane Long gets on here. I know that he doesn't get the goals that everyone would like, but I don't think that there is a more honest, hard working player in the squad......never gives less than 100%. The sort of player that people used to like at this club. Well done on last night, Shane!!

We never had any news from Mr Gao.....

Yes...maybe you are right. I suppose that having had an "absent" silent owner for the last few years, I just wanted to hear some positivity from the horses mouth....

I am not sure if I have missed something, but I am a bit surprised that we haven't heard anything much from our new owners. Maybe a Press Conference to hear directly from the horses mouth regarding plans/direction? Apart from a couple of printed statements and the MS interview, it seems to be fairly quiet.

I have seen a couple of mentions of Lyanco leaving and Perraud wanted by Newcastle. Anyone know where these rumours are coming from?

Not sure if this has been posted before....

A bit like accusations that Markus was an SS Tank Driver during WWll.....that sort of thing? Oops....just seen a previous reply...🙈

Nope.....Cultural Appropriation.....or summink......innit?
