I remember we tried to organise a mid week trip to Peterborough many years ago but work or transport issues put paid to the trip.
-
It’s nice to think we still have a chance when falling behind…** ** unless we play five at the back.
-
They had to sell Richarlson by a certain date to help out. They’ll be in a similar position next year with the current spending.
-
I don't think he'll be able to get in the side at this rate. Brighton lose away to Fulham Palace and Brentford draw.

Deepest Cambridgeshire due to work after Uni. Only managed to get to a few games at SMS and a few aways. I’m sure there are a few Saints fans around here, I remember following a van which had a Saints sticker on it!

There was talk both were required by ETH.

A good performance against a side that has that individual quality if not the team dynamic yet. Can quibble on minor things. Hopefully have a couple of transfers that can make an impact like those bought earlier have done.

As Chelsea are our goto club for players, Billy Gilmour is available and hasn’t been given a shirt number 👀

It’s an attitude thing, the self belief. A good poacher’s goal. He did have a shot blocked in the previous attack when Mara was better placed, however, the confidence is there without the being overawed (I know it was against Cambridge but first team debut counts). -
Pacing themselves. It’s hot and muggy in Cambridge. Most of the action in the Cambridge half.
-
Now that should have been the Leeds results. Glad it’s four at the back but against teams that will be lower half in the PL, we need to win, especially at home. Performances will improve with a few more games and a couple more additions should help as well.
-
What do you think his wages would be?
-
Yes, around seven players left.
-
All over now.

The Beehive Centre has 4hr parking, although not sure if there is a ‘closing time’ for parking. Do you know? -
In a sense, we are, the lack of investment in the Gao years is catching up (not just playing talent but supporting structure). Having been a mid table team, we are now a lower mid table team - Brighton, Palace, Newcastle etc all improving and doing better than us. Thank goodness for Everton and Leeds. But the club should be in the mindset of doing the best, positive attitude and setting some tough goals to achieve, certainly not reflecting on being grateful to make up the numbers. I’m hoping Shields and Selles can help on the playing side, but it’s going to take some time. Perhaps Rasmussen needs to be more involved on the management side?
-
There are clubs where a DoF brings in the players and the head coach coaches and picked the team. Irrespective of that, why pick a back five and the same old players? I wonder what Selles was actually brought in to do? There seems to be no visible impact from him - still he's got plenty of video analysis to give to the players after the Spurs game.
-
So purely on cost comparisons it comes down to an under performance by two league places.
-
He would be the insane signing we're been waiting for.

I think that is the differential these days when the technical ability is similar with the players Saints are looking at. Great attitude to have and there was plenty of camaraderie with his teammates at the recent Toulon tournament as well. This lad will go far. -

Really? How do know some where ‘better’ scouted? And what does it mean? If anything you’d hope they go through the same process in wanting to buy a player for millions of pounds to give themselves as much information to make a decision on. or do you mean, back the manager regardless like we did with Carillo? -
I have a friend that knows Joe and Jess Thwaite, who won in May. It has turned their life into a nightmare. It is easy to see the wow factor and what you'd do with it. Not even doing anything will net them £6m a year! A knighthood or something else in mind?
-
It looks like we are trying to be one of the youngest squads in the Premier League! Shame there are no points for it.
-
I thought it was player wage bill that had a better correlation to league performance?
-
Certainly from the Spurs fans, but their midfield has improved drastically. I don’t think he is better than we have and when money can be used to improve in other areas it seems to be too much of a risk for £10m, let alone £20m in Levy world.
