I was really confident till I saw that Mike Dean post. I'm sure I had a lovely dream a couple months ago that he retired. Can I still cling to that......

He got that chance because his agent had threatened us that he would be leaving if he didn't play (not because he forced his way in with hard work). Then we had the worst injury crisis in modern times. And what does he do......he fucks it up. If he was as good as he thought he was we'd have lost the next Ronaldo. But in reality, the next time you hear his name will be in a pub quiz. And that's a fact check true. I suggest letting him go now........

You have missed out one tiny little detail from that one sided view. He was given a chance. He blew it.

Its very hard to say, but I'd rather we pay £3M than have any sort of sell on included. I think we'll be pleasantly surprised by the outcome.

Leicester are such a bunch of detestable rats that I find myself rooting for Whu. Go on, HAMMER THEM

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.
