Ssssshhhhhhhh......! (FFS)

Saints to hit top spot in the Premier League with a 4-1 win. (Ings 2, Adams, Djenepo)

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41592525 (interview in 2017) The good news is that he's got very distinctive earlobes, so should be easy to spot if he ever pops in to West Quay for a bite to eat on one of his reconnaissance trips...

Semmens was very clear in his interview that he/Ralph want to start the season with the same regular 11 that did so well after the restart. So I'm pretty sure his use of the phrase "provide cover" was merely to reinforce that stance rather than implying/suggesting that the incoming player wouldn't be of the same standard as the current players.

Great listen... cheers. Semmens is very impressive... articulate, candid and pragmatic.

"The changes will see the group mirror the training programmes, coaching and style of play of the first team. Training will also be organised so as not to clash with the first team, in order to ensure Hasenhüttl and his coaching staff can not only watch the youngsters train but actively participate in their sessions at times." Like that.... good move IMO

cheers 👍

cheers hypo 👍

Assume one is DM (Hojbjerg replacement). Any insight on the other position? Cheers

Permission to ask my stock question sir! If you were to take a punt, how many days/weeks would you say "before too long" is...? I won't hold you to it, honest guv! Cheers!

He uses the same photographer as Salisu

I guess Mané joined us in similar circumstances (for example) so maybe it's more a case of other prem clubs not being prepared to take a risk on potential as much as we are?

Are we defo keen on Jozwiak? Someone posted an article linking him to Saints a few weeks ago but haven't heard anything since. Looks like an archetypal Hassenhutl type of player so wouldn't surprise me

Damn... Now I'm *really* confused...

If I was MLG, I might be inclined to say: "a couple of times isn't anywhere near long enough to judge a player that definitively". But I'm not, so I won't...

Cheers for the update @stevegrant 👍

Come on Harrogate!

Away to WBA or Harrogate in round 3

Nice tie

Are people saying "Tella isn't good enough" as in: "I've seen enough of him to inform me that he'll never reach premier League standard" or are they saying it as in: "he's not good enough yet but still has potential to reach premier League standard" If the latter, then he's a decent enough 5th choice, if the former then why have Saints bothered listing him in this season's first team squad in the first place...?

Given there appeared to be an element of players not passing to JWP when that was the obvious pass (happened less as the game went on to be fair), the conspiracy theorist lurking in the back of my mind did wonder if the other players see JWP as a bit of a teacher's pet and don't think he's there on merit alone. Probably a load of unsubstantiated nonsense from me (just for a change) but stranger things have happened... Maybe...

Nice one Prowsey

Decent enough performance from JWP all things considered.

Funny old game
