A day or so after the stomach cramps and fever passed. They were the worst part of it

That sounds like campylobacter food poisoning which is a solid week of misery from my experience.

Fank thuck for that. Now let's get in a striker and a central defender

No. For many reasons including disrespect to our women's team and female fans and the massive distraction he'd bring.

In other news Burnley have abandoned their pursuit of Nathan Tella after "being priced out of a move by Southampton" no take backsies

I think there's merit in both perspectives. We have bought in a shit ton of money and we have shown no signs of spending said money. Yet. Whether we will or not is another matter and I'm sure all Saints fans remember how many transfer windows we've had where the club started out promising big things only to say we were happy with our squad when nothing happened. We also have an owner who presided over us going down so it depends on what you believe their motivation is. I'm personally willing to give them the benefit of the doubt but really want to see things start to happen sooner rather than later.

I don't see Adam Armstrong as a 10 or an 8. Happy to be proven wrong but I think he doesn't have that ability to play in-between the lines.

Not sure about stacked. We have Charly and Stu. Wouldn't class the rest of the players as that. Could also see McAtee out wide if/when we sell Tella.

True. Given they haven't been playing I think I've already mentally listed them as sold.

Let's start the week by getting Downes in and get some more deals over the line. Would love to see Harewood-Bellis, Drameh and McAtee in after plus a striker. Kinda resigned to losing KWP and Tella now plus probably Che.

We don't win at home. We can't keep clean sheets. We always struggle against teams we're expected to beat. We're selling our best players. All the signs are negative so I'm going for a 6-2 win for Saints.

What Everton need is a big fella up front now DCL is out. I reckon we could help them out there.

That's not how stats work. You can say they have scored a goal for every 4 shots on target but you cannot say will. And that's before the gross over simplification that all shots or chances are equal.

If we sold Tella and got McAtee in whether loan of permanent (with the standard buy back or sell on for City) I'd say that was decent business. Tella didn't look up for it yesterday.

Regulation 2-1 away win

STOP THE COUNT

Top of the league

Che Che che

Woof

Well judged by Baz there

Lol

Get in

Good effort

Sub Sam Amo-Ayew for Tella and Ballard for AdamA

Neither KWP or Tella look that interested today
