Are Michael Svensson or Dan Petrescu available?

Trash

1000% this (and yes, I know it's not mathematically possible [emoji15][emoji106])

Which, given that the actress who played her is sadly dead, is saying something.....

Honest question with no hidden agenda: would we be any worse with Nigel Adkins in charge for the remainder of this season? At least he would have everybody behind him, uniting a very split and demoralised fan base. Interested in your thoughts.

Romeu booked - misses next game?

Wasn't able to make the 250 mile round trip today (probably just as well!) - interested in how bad the reaction was at the end and the reaction to Gabbi being subbed. Anyone who was there care to comment?

Specsavers moment Wes [emoji6]- Redmond not on pitch at moment.

Anybody see Lemina's death stare and shrug at Forster after the keeper's howler?! Christ on a bike, if looks could kill!!

I imagine he's referring to the M3 closure.

I ****ed myself laughing at the article on Sky which had as its first paragraph that Redknapp has said he would have taken Brum up within 3 years, followed immediately by a second paragraph starting he was sacked after a sixth consecutive defeat! F'sure Harry - promotion form that! [emoji23]

Affreux, affreux, affreux.....

Blimey! He has an awful lot of followers for a fake account! Who the hell is he then?! Sad, for starters....

Murray Groves (football management person) has tweeted that the medical is at 10.30 tomorrow morning. Don't know how reliable the guy is but it's quite specific information to be making up!!

Worth noting that the radio station quoted is the French version of Talk****e and is also funded by money from Monaco (the principality not the club), location of one of the clubs that would purportedly benefit from Lemina going to Stoke. Would therefore take with a pinch of salt.

Last post on the Oatcake thread about Lemina quoting an RMC source saying that the player is expected for a medical at Stoke on Monday! Will try and post the link in a mo.....

Reading the 'Bleacher report' on MP in the programme yesterday the author talked about how his teams try to reduce space between the lines when defending so that opposition is channeled into cul-de-sacs and the threat dies out which I certainly saw evidence of yesterday. The same report mentions that his teams press high but not all the time, which again as others have said was a feature yesterday. Clearly, implementing his ideas and techniques fully will take MP time but yesterday's performance gave me a very positive feeling about what is to come. Worth reading the extended interview with MP too if you have the programme; he is certainly a very humble man who wants to challenge himself as much as others. I also liked the references to 'imagination' particularly when MP mentioned what Benitez did for Liverpool in the Champions League final to turn a 3-0 half time deficit into an eventual win. Again, I think we have somebody who is going to be tactically adept, meticulous in his preparation and who won't be afraid to change things if he needs to. Bodes well.

Am likely to be over there at that time, and would happily meet up with any local Saints who might be able to point me in the right direction in terms of places to see/visit. Happy to take orders for shirts /souvenirs etc. which I can bring over with me.

Last 5 minutes or so have been a lot better for Saints. Some good quick passing and looking to get the ball into dangerous areas.

On the bench according to the team sheet at the top of this thread......

My feeling is that it is a little less tailored or snug this year. I got XL last year but L this year is fine. Hope that helps.
