Sweepstake for first person to post: "FFS. We would have been drawn against "? #butterflyeffect #chaostheory

Ticks all of the "type of player that Saints would go for" boxes, plus the Puel connection of course. Looks like more like a Tadic/Boufal winger/attacking midfielder than a Pelle/Austin striker though.

Yep. Wouldn't be surprised if we see Barnes on the first team bench sometime this month. I think he may have been ahead of Olomola in pecking order before he got injured?

You're seriously asking the Saintsweb Forum intelligentsia to give our new players time? Chortle

It's ok... After our next manager takes the helm, Puel will take his rightful place alongside Pochettino and Koeman in the Saintsweb Forum Selective Memory Hall of Fame...

Saints proving yet again there's a fine margin between success and failure with the risk averse possession tactics that Puel has instilled in the team. Whether we end up with more successes than failures at the end of the season remains to be seen. Yes, it can be pretty dull at times but on a day like today it ends up being effective. 3 points in the bag. Top half of the table. Level on points with Koeman's Everton. We now only need 4 points in 5 games to be in the same position as last season after 20 games. All to play for (apart from the Europa League of course!) and still too early to judge Puel IMO. We march on...

JRod actually made contact with that on the line! WTF?!

Just need a Spurs equaliser now please

Wooooshhh?

Immaculate timing as always if I may say so sir

Get in! Meltdown!

Get in! Still hoping they'll get promoted this season

Bournemouth pull a goal back...

Apparently we're about to play a semi-finals that we have "no chance" of winning...

Having played a game more

Is that your own photo or one you grabbed off the internet?

I'm taking solace in the knowledge that somewhere in a parallel universe Romeu wellied that clearance down the line and the game finished 0-0 with everyone praising Puel for his master tactics of shutting out a decent side.

Tick

Bugger, missed mine off the total. Make that 15. Or is that now 16 if we include your bite on mine? And my bite on your bite of my bite makes 17. Tricky business this troll spotting malarkey.

It's textbook stuff. Worthy of at least 14 bites I would venture

Don't recall the charge filed last month being discussed on here?
