Yuki Sugawara was just asked about Sam Amo-Ameyaw's performance and how he felt playing with him down the right today: 'Fucking old'

FT: Eastleigh 1-7 Saints

7-1 Alcaraz

6-1 Sugawara from 30 yards

5-1 Manning from a Sugawara assist

Harwood-Bellis wearing the No. 6 shirt

4-0 - Sekou Mara pen

A couple of reports in Italian media now that Torino and Adams are moving closer to an agreement

RM has the players from the first 45 doing pitch runs before they get to rest and watch the second half Second half starters... Saints: Lis; Sugawara, Harwood-Bellis, Wood, Manning; Dibling, Charles, Alcaraz; Amo-Ameyaw, Mara, Robinson

It's what Arsenal were using last season If anyone's interested then this will take 7 mins of your time at HT

Dibling off, Robinson on

Ronnie Edwards off, Sam Amo-Ameyaw on Downes now playing CB

was Dibling

2-0 Arma again

Alfie House was saying while covering the U21s earlier at Staplewood that he saw KWP, Larios and Sulemana doing some individual work I assume they won't be involved

A fiver will only get you Alex Le Tissier, I'd rather watch Eastleigh

Saints v Eastleigh: McCarthy; Bree, Edwards, Taylor; Downes (c), Lallana, Smallbone, Aribo; Merry, Armstrong, Edozie 3-4-3 formation - Downes captain first half

Aren't they both free transfers anyway? That's why it's pre-contract agreements ahead of time

Yeah I remember paying for one last season too, I don't really mind. A fiver is a fiver, can't see much else for a fiver nowadays

Darren Mowbray is continuing to lead the recruitment/scouting with Russell Martin, and Phil Parsons is negotiating the transfers Mark Bitcon (head of performance) is picking up the other side of Wilcox's work across other departments

I think last summer he had interest from Rennes, as well as a Serie A side

Pretty sure I saw West Ham fans saying that Moyes used to play Downes as a No 10 in a 4-2-3-1 formation, which is pretty amusing. Struggle to imagine him being a natural fit there

Probably a bit of a difference between potential money laundering and fraud* dressed up as crypto trading or an overseas casino and drinking unhealthy fizzy drinks on your afternoon out, no? *in this specific instance who knows, but across the industry as a whole it's a huge issue especially with these white label firms who go into football sponsorship
