trousers

Actually, now you mention it, it's a shame we didn't sign Friar Tuck. Much more comedy rhyming potential there

I think its reasonable to infer that from the article. (i.e. it doesn't state, explicitly or otherwise, that Pellegrino will have less to spend than before the takeover)

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/southampton-owner-tells-mauricio-pellegrino-he-has-no-extra-funds-6xz3ff8v6 No direct quotes from the owner(s) in that article though. Make of that what you will...

Nice idea.... so, the original lyrics to start with then... Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen Robin Hood, Robin Hood, with his band of men Feared by the bad, loved by the good Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood Over to the SWF Tim Rices of this world...

I assume there aren't any speed stats for Forster as he was too slow to trigger the timer? (boom tish... only kidding folks)

Can anyone do anything clever with this one?

That one does finish like that (I didn't recognise the first 28 seconds either)

Yep

No flies on trousers? On the contrary my shtickradar chum

MP's Pre-match interview... https://southamptonfc.com/news/2017-08-23/video-mauricio-pellegrino-southampton-wolves Says that Targett has picked up an injury so is doubtful. So a start for McQueen I guess

Especially as he was only out by 3 days...

Any other secrets you want to share with our opponents...?

Bugger... I do that quite a lot! Spending half my life on here is obviously driving me senile Chuck JWP in the starting 11 in that case, with Davis on the bench

I'm thinking.... McCarthy Cedric Yoshida © Bednarek Targett Romeu Hojbjerg Redmond Boufal Austin Subs: Taylor, McQueen, Stephens, JWP, Tadic, Gabbiadini, Long Rested/Dropped/Injured/Sulking/On their way out of the door: Forster, Pied, Gardos, Bertrand, van Dijk, Lemina, Davis, Clasie, Sims, Hesketh, Wood, Jones, Flannigan, Valery

Yes. It's working quite well so far... (Just don't tell the mods... They can be a bit trigger happy when it comes to banning obvious WUMs... )

It's a valid concern but recent history tells us we're quite successful at turning relatively unknown players, that no one else is seemingly in for, into quality 'big club' players. (and, yes, we've had some misses as well as hits too, but we're never going to get a 100% strike rate)

It's vintage Glasgow, before the subtleties kicked in a few years ago. I'm actually finding it quite nostalgic.

The "glad I was proved wrong" cards are being given a polish as we speak...

Doing what all the usual suspects do at moments like this...

Lost on away goals in the second leg tonight
