They definitely didn't gift wrap him. His 21st birthday with us was fun though, he'll always have a place in folklore for that.

Because he was on loan from Reading. And there's no way we could have predicted that skinny little kid from back then would turn out to be a total beast mode.

The goal keeper is killing me. FFS. Please be his last game.

Our best chance of not conceding is going off. Damn it........come back soon Maritial.

Its the hope that kills, and this is going to hurt........

Just how long ago was it we stopped searching for a pacy CB....? lol Welcome aboard LionO, hope you hit the ground running.......or jogging

Lets hope he has a similar assists and goals tally to last season, then we are all laughing. Plenty of other things to moan about................like replacing Vesti

The injured championship player.......kind stepped on your own point there

Everyone who is so happy for us to sell.......but are you all confident we'd invest properly? I think we've gone too deep to even consider now. We can't even replace Vesti.......

In all the years I've supported Saints, I never been less confident about getting anything against Manchester Utd. Man, that is depressing. Our L1 team would have put up a fight. I wouldn't trust this lot with a 2-0 with ten to go. Weak as piss. Roll on Toon.........

As the Brandon Williams rumour circulated on here for so long this summer, and the fan base was truly split on him be a potential legend or a massive waste of money, I feel he's earnt his place on the defectors thread. I'm looking forward to seeing how he does at Norwich. My guess right now, this season will be a steep learning curve for him ending in relegation.

DC was class. Loved watching him rip L1 up. I guess had he not had so many injury problems, we wouldn't have had him here.

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is madness. Do yourself a favour Ralph, before this opportunity slips you by.......

I couldn't find a stream on Saturday, so I followed GOT for updates as a 1,000 moaning scousers is very useful for live updates. They were moaning that they didn't scout him. It was nice reading the oppositions views of that performance. This kid has the world at his feet. I turned off after an hour.......obviously

The problem is, I wouldn't trust us to spend £50m on what we need right now anyway, so its still a no from me......

Be kinda helpful if someone like Spuds came sniffin and unsettled him. Would like them to be in the fight again with Bruce.

Yay, level is now onside once again. Can't wait to see us screwed over in the coming weeks with this. Probably starting next sunday!

Panned out as to be expected. As someone who has defended Ralph for a long time, its getting tiresome. How do we come out so crap after his talk. Two bloody minutes. Where are the leaders, where's the mean streak? Get fucking nasty, before we sleep walk into another bullshit season. AA and Liv look good, and have made the 3-1 not look like a lemmings on the itchen bridge affair! Must do better Saints. That was a dogshit Everton team. GOT got out of jail with that. And they are my fav meltdown barr Aftv.

If we want anything from today, then energy energy energy. That's how we win this. I'm bloody nervous right now.

My prediction for this game, we'll win the first half and lose the second. And that probably makes it 2-1. Hope I'm wrong.

I reckon Brenford will win this. Might even be comfortable.

There's only a few things I want from this coming season, but this thread to be lit is one of them. The leavers are not lovren level, but screw wishing them well.

Over the last six months, I think FF should be first choice. I've seen improvements with his game. Not seen any with Mac's.

Don't fold too quick saints. Hold out for 18M. They will be back in for him. They are sensing a bargain at a time when they need someone. Hold firm. and we'll get a better deal.

I'm most excited by the fact the boy can take a penalty! We need that prowess desperately! Good times.
