Just to clarify, do you mean this Friday (i.e. tomorrow) or next Friday? Cheers

Defo looking a bit more balanced than recent previous seasons Top of the table by the first international break...?

Connected with the MSD Holdings cash injection...?

I'm trying to figure out why a respected journo/reporter such as Adam Blackmore would go along with what appears to be an attempt at a smokescreen via the club. One assumes he can't/won't come out afterwards and say he agreed to post misleading info on behalf of the club, so surely he's putting his reputation on the line by going along with such a ruse? Either that or the club didn't tell Adam that what they were telling him was untrue, although why would the club 'dupe' a respected local media figure in that way? I guess the more innocent explanation is that Adam Blackmore simply hadn't heard that we were interested in McKennie and for some reason decided to translate that lack of info into a definitive "club not interested" in his tweet, when really he should have written a less definitive "haven't heard that the club are interested" tweet? Or... the most likely explanation is that I'm over thinking things, just for a change...

Cheers 👍 I'm wondering if Virgin Media will slip seamlessly into main shirt sponsor again given they still sponsor us anyway...?

If LD Sports is completely unconnected to Gao then surely no-one in the higher echelons of the club can be surprised they've turned out to be bogus given the obvious fabrication and amateurism that their website purveyed at the time (and still does to a certain degree)...? #squirrel
-
So LD Sports aren't a Gao shell company, they're a completely separate entity...? Or is it Gao that has scarpered...?

Love Kumar and Corden. Very funny guys

I wonder if it was Ralph that gave the players permission to go abroad or would that decision have been made elsewhere in the club? Ralph obviously won't be chuffed if the decision wasn't his. As LeG says... "Typical Saints" to get something like this wrong, if it is indeed quarantine issues stopping some players taking part in pre season training
-
More thinking out loud.... could the problem be the sheer size of the database? We do have 14 years worth of crud afterall! Maybe the answer is to archive all content off to some storage unit in the sky and start again from afresh? Yours clutching-at-straws-ly

I don't go back quite that far (work wise) but part of my training for a large bank in 1986 did involve punched card programming
-
Yep... their whole kit launch was with no sponsor... all a tad curious.... https://www.rcdespanyol.com/es/actualidad/las-nuevas-equipaciones-20-21-presentadas/_n:11426/

Somewhat untypical of the club to only release a few 'first day of training' photos. Pretty sure we usually get a bumper bundle of 'day 1' photos. I guess they might blame it on Covid but even so, pre-season publicity has definitely got off to a much more subdued pace than usual IMO. Probably nothing whatsoever to read into this of course

I'm possibly in "teaching your grandmother to suck eggs" territory here (so apologies in advance to @stevegrant if this sounds patronising, it's not intended to) but if its a case of troubleshooting bugs and/or quirks in the software, then couldn't Steve put out an appeal to the SWF massive to see if anyone can help him get to the bottom of things rather than him having to taken the entire burden of resolution on his own shoulders? 'Many hands make light work' as they say in cliche land. Just thinking out loud.... (and being an IT bod myself, although more of an old fashioned one - 1980s vintage , I know you can also have 'too many cooks spoiling the broth' when it comes to problem troubleshooting if people start stepping on each other's toes.)

I probably could have made up a really funny punchline there if we were just about to sign Beattie... #oneforthekids

And what about Maureen Lipman?

Why the blimmin' Nora is Danny Ings trending..?
-
"First summer signing" for Spurs apparently... Erm... Didn't they sign that squad player from us recently...?

Have you tried your local library? https://www.glasgowlife.org.uk/libraries

Winners: Man Utd Relegated: WBA, Fulham, Burnley Saints: 1 place / 2 points below whatever "madness" is declared as this season

Salisu crocked or unfit (same difference) is my reading-between-the-lines on this one too. The pieces of the jigsaw seem to fit. Edit: maybe we weren't able to do our usual rigorous pre-signing medical procedures due to Covid-19 restrictions, so took a bit of a punt ? (more reading-between-the-lines)
-
Aye, probably, although he did add: "... and that's not just because of my own personal situation, its about what's going on at the club as a whole" (paraphrasing / words to that effect)
-
So, either training kicks off tomorrow or he's taking up marijuana...?
