Minor observation: I wonder what was the thinking behind playing Dibling in the first team pre-season friendly vs Benfica but then not takimg him with the squad to Turkey?

Tantric

Sperm

Yeah, but can they spell you're correctly...?

Buttocks or bosom?

I did mistakenly include 2 Armstrongs in my original list but deleted one immediately after I posted

So, notable players not involved today... Perraud Larios Bednarek Bella-Kotchap Aribo S. Armstrong Sulemana Edozie Diallo Tella Ballard Onuachu Anything to read into any of those omissions or just down to international duty and/or fitness?

🤣

The day I'll get worried is when the Saintsweb intelligentsia stop judging our season prospects after 45 minutes of pre-season...

How many if we're unlucky...?

As long as they aren't someone's son-in-law, that's all that matters...

Event organisers trotting out "due to unforeseen circumstances" when an event is cancelled. We all know that's usually code for: "we screwed up and the circumstances were completely foreseeable had we been competent enough to spot them in advance" Twats.

I wasn't casting a judgement on whether or not the private sector are better or worse at running stuff than governments. I was simply highlighting that governments running stuff isn't necessarily the holy grail that some seem to think it is. Maybe they're just as bad as eachother? (FWIW, in my experience, the railway service was poor before it was privatised, slightly better initially when privatised, but is now as bad as it ever was before privatisation. At no point, under either regime has it been well run during my lifetime)

I also live in Devon now so would happily join this queue if anyone fancies transferring their ST allocation(s)

Because Governments are historically crap at managing and running stuff...?

At last! Someone who has obviously seen the small print of his Swansea contract and can comment with authority. Thank you kind sir

# Tangential thought klaxon # Am I alone in wondering why Swansea structured the compensation tiers that way around in the first place? Surely it would make more sense to have set the compensation for him joining a club in the same league higher than the compensation for joining a club in a different league? In other words, you'd want to discourage him being poached by a direct competitor more than a club you're not in direct competition with...?

A tad pissed of that there's no official footage of the best band in the world due to no cameras on the acoustic stage #sawdoctors

If we end up selling JWP for anything less than £40m, I will run out of toys to throw out of the pram...
