Which then allows for the flexibility of the first team to play in a different way. Like the Puel diamond.

We beat Vitesse. The qualifying rounds are part of the competition, it was a short campaign, but a campaign all the same. So, what 'reason' are you on about? As for the song, it's a laugh! And as previously stated, far better then it really should be! Like our team last year, better then the sum of it's parts.

Just come through on my phone. Errrr, really? Our reserve keeper who Palace were by all accounts happy to lose?

I'm content. Our position is that our stars will be poached, if they weren't then it would mean we have a mediocre side. Delighted that we have retained Fonte, my favourite player and I certainly do not grudge him an improved contract while is at the apex of his career given the performances he has given in our colours. Of the replacements we have signed, two have been our brightest lights so far: Hojbjerg and Redmond. I really look forward to seeing how Boufal does. Given the lot we have I gain a lot of joy in seeing new names come in and seeing what they can do. Looking forward to how the rest of the season goes.

Jack Wilshere would clearly be excellent for us in terms of pure talent, but based on his injury record I would consider even a loan too risky. Bit of a catch 22 for him, too fragile to be worth the risk, but needs someone to take that risk on him so he can get fit.

With an attractive brunette to his left.

Swear he was in the Wags box on the chapel/Itchen corner.

3-1. Two for Austin, one for Tadic.

1) Potential to open a local curry house/casino/nightclub after his playing career is over. (Out of ten) 2) The Dani Osvaldo rating for mental instability. (Out of ten, Dani a ten, JWP a one) 3) The Traitor-o-meter. (Likelihood of a player being liked/disliked after leaving the club.)

Good man.

Previously mentioned: What Saints don't want to do now is...... #insertthef*ckingobvious Dave Merrington you have given me nightmares over the years.

Considering that we have Pied and Yan Valery as back up, Cuco's transfer does make sense on a few levels. Been very impressed with Valery.

Would be sad to see him go. But, one of those who I would absolutely wish all the best.

Don't these games kick off a little earlier for exactly that reason? (Ok, it's probably due to TV, it's always due to TV.)

Any idea how the ticket sales are going? Helpfully the online ordering system is down for maintenance until tomorrow afternoon.

Top 10 and a good cup run. Done.

I would have said Steven Davis personally.

West Brom survived with a 4 goal striker. Palace reached the cup final and survived with a 5 goal striker. Too simplistic an argument.

It is disappointing that a country isn't embracing it. Either way, great to see our team doing so well.

Did Mary's Meals ever sponsor the shirt? Also, the youth team had a few different sponsors. Orchard Homes stick in my mind. Also, 'The Saint' radio station sponsored the shirts during MLT's testimonial.

Valery and Targett.

Wasn't aware that he had been capped 24 times for his country. I take your point, but if we judged everyone by the worst point of comparison a lot of potential would be thrown away. Amazingly, Morrison still appears to be at Lazio.

Perhaps, but I personally wouldn't write someone off at 22.

For those who wouldn't want Depay, based on how Puel turned Hatem Ben Arfa around I wouldn't be entirely dismissive.
