Bakery. Yep, had a good game.

Wow, great goal 4-0 Ofalabi, another assist from Johnson

3-0 Barnes Edit: looks more like an own goal. Good cross from Bakery though

Half time. Dominant performance from Saints thus far. Our front 3 running them ragged.

Premier League statement

And add Markus too!

2-0 Some decent play by Saints but Reading look poor

My eyesight isn't that good Anyway, here's the stream for the game...

Ah! Mind reading was never one of my better attributes

I thought we were allowed to play up to 3 over aged players in the U23s?

Injured I believe. Along with Sims.

Hojbjerg getting a run out but not Clasie. Suggests, perhaps, that the latter is off?

...

...

And only one Markus Liebherr too

Not forgetting the several meltdowns we've had along the way to keep the SWF doom and gloom merchants happy

Have just seen tweets from a week or so ago saying that Liverpool are looking to sign him. Surely we sign Liverpool destined players a couple of years before they end up there?!

Agree that 24 is top end of "young", but still ticks several "Typical Saints Signing" boxes IMO.

No idea who this John Harriott fella is, and whether or not he's reliable, but 'for the record' in case there's any truth in it... John Harriott‏ @JHFootballAgent Southampton are looking at Gremio wonder kid Luan #saintsfc --------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.goal.com/brasilglobaltour/en/news/5457/brasil-global-tour/2017/08/14/37786332/why-luan-is-a-brazilian-gem Sounds like the sort of player we usually go for.... relatively unknown, had a few set-backs, lots of promise, etc... He could be just what we're looking for: Designed to break down defensive sides who set out only to spoil, he was introduced to float around the front three, offering better angles for the quick passing exchanges and join a previously fragmented midfield to the front line. "He is like a bridge, connecting two pieces together," said the great Tostao. Scolari labelled Luan a “game-changer” - and that’s exactly what he is. Luan doesn’t win games, he changes them, enabling others to do so. He has that rare ability to make everyone else better. It took a while, but Brazil has caught on. Luan is now widely regarded as arguably the league’s best player. Tostao went on to insist: "Luan is among the top five Brazilian players today." And Tite is now on board, too, last week adding Luan to his Brazil squad for World Cup qualifying. So if your club doesn’t try to sign Luan this transfer window, it’s likely because they just weren’t looking hard enough. They wouldn’t be the first.

I think it was an observation rather than a complaint

I'm sure he'll be here to tell us all about it soon...
