Matt Kuchar's dad looking for his ball in the rough

Exactly what I was thinking, whatever happens there always seems to be a 'slagging off ' session ! If Targett continues to improve then his value accrues with it and when tied to a longer term contract, we can benefit should he move on... Not exactly rocket science !

Interesting that the difference in average heights between 1st and 20th is only a fraction over an inch !! Kinda nullifies the whole article IMO !

I presume that you are a very young man ?

Not great TBF, but this result means as much as the 3-0 away to St Etienne ! Saturday will be far more telling in terms of the best first 11, selected tactics and performance ! I've seen cr@p pre-seasons many times which did not result in bad seasons so keep the faith !

Don't worry mate, it's the way of things on here - be happy that nobody has yet talked about giving up their season tickets ! I honestly wonder if some of these prats have ever watched pre-season friendlies before ! Result means nothing, the object of the exercise is that the manager learns about players and tactics, then when the season proper starts the intensity kicks in, it's an 'open doors' training match, nothing more !

ooh eck !

0-1

Me too !

Did he chicken out ?

sound on now

No sound for me, is this normal ?

I haven't seen word about that but if he has then surely the club can dock his wages ?? I suppose that none of us know the real facts but if he refuses to play, then (contractually) it's a different ball game !!

P!ssing down all day so I think I'll give it a miss even although I bought a ticket in advance ( cheap double header with the Seville game ! ). I'm guessing that there will be almost no 'walk-up' so it could be like a morgue ! Not ideal for Mauricio's first home outing !!

From what I have read, he has not done that, Pellegrino was the one who insisted that he train alone as he felt that team spirit may be affected ! VVD and his advisors are clearly trying to avoid 'strike' accusations as this would negatively impact on their financial position. That is why the best tactic for SFC is to sit it out ! IMHO of course !

TBF, that could apply to just about every current PL player !

North Korea stands alone as a 'terrorist threat' which is not Islamist, nor directly at war with anyone else (yet) but the complete and utter contempt for the human rights of it's own people should not be ignored IMHO ! To watch a whole nation bow and scrape in such obviously fake public exhibitions is just not natural and confirms the abject, day to day fear under which they live ! Surely the Chinese must soon wake up to the fact that they are the only power which could change this situation before Trump loses his rag and dumps another Hiroshima bomb on the poor b@stards !!

We will get more points than last season but quite possibly a lower position so most of the bedwetters should be transformed to happy-clappers ! VVD will kindly consent to grace us with his presence for one more year and play his heart out (bless!), Stephens will kick on.. We will sign 2 more unknown young players, one of whom will become an instant starlet and Liverpool will show an interest ! However, to be perfectly honest, I have absolutely no idea how we will get on this season but what I do know is that I will support my club through thick and thin as I have done now for over 47 years !!

Things we learnt from today's match : a) Never play in French graveyards. b) Romeu looks silly with hair. c) Taylor is a great goalkeeping prospect. d) Substitutions changed the game. e) We are everybody's favourite to be relegated. f) People do not renew ST's based on 45 mins of a meaningless match.. g) You can find a few t0ssers on Saintsweb match threads. h) Matty Targett is the new MLT. Apart from that, it was a run-of-the-mill pre-season friendly ! Have a nice evening

So pleased I renewed my ST !

We'll walk the league I'm sure ! 2-0

Got 2 in our last away match at Brentford !

Where is it then ?

Are you Alpine in disguise

Is this the Saint Etienne stadium or just their training ground ??
