Awful. Team seems unsure and unsettled with the new signings. Going backwards.

The way national cricket and rugby teams bend nationality is totally undermining international sporting credibility. Football is not yet so bad. Saints have a great blend of home grown talent and foreign trimmings. Long may it continue.

Good read. Where's the bit about the billionaire benefactor blueprint though?

Remarkably intelligently composed thread, that Pompey one. Hats off to them.

NA needs his legendary motivational skills now.

There is, perhaps rather disconcertingly, a kind of morbid fascination in seeing the poor man's death throes at Reading.

It is not working out for NA at Reading, is it? I always thought he went there a little impulsively.

+1 Carragher is dreadful, can't see him lasting.

The team will be devastating in a few matches, with JWP, Shaw and the new boys all on song and on the same wavelength.

Sunderland: horrible team, from a horrible place and with a horrible manager. We should have won.

I remember when Man U put us out of the cup at St Mary's in the mid 2000s, the refrain from the Northam and substantial sections of the Saints support was "Ruud Van Nistelroy takes it up the Arse!" Now my question is this: Is that Nistelroy-phobic, homophobic, or both? It certainly was offensive and I don't mind admitting I joined in and thoroughly enjoyed it. Is just being offensive illegal now? Would the entire Northam be liable for arrest if repeated now?

Superb. A great season beckons.

Le Tiss was on another planet. Even Messi would need to apply for a visa.

Magnificent.

The Brighton Seagulls could complete the picture with an all-male Cheerleader Troupe.
