We're going to walk this league

Yeah, looked like it was destined for the post IMO

I would venture that depends on whether or not we go back to 'pure' "Russball" or the scaled-down version we witnessed at the end of last season...? McCarthy is only following orders, after all...

"Who...?"

Yep, same when my son went to buy me a ticket. Yep, that's the assumption we made 👍

They need to bring back Top Trumps... football stats edition

Wrong thread to be talking about opposition players

Close, but no cigar...

Need to manually replace the 'x' with 'twitter' in the URL....

Dare I say he reminded me of Danny Ings watching that....?

Exam result days and the inane formulaeic rolling news coverage thereof. Oh look, another year where some teenagers have passed exams and some others haven't. And, wowzers, some even get to go to the universities of their choice, and some don't.... No sh*t Sherlock... Hold the front page!

If this was on the CoT thread I'd be expecting us to sign Anthony Knockaert any time now...

Or maybe Howe is purposely holding things up so he doesn't get to play against them in the opening game....?

Assuming football clubs and/or their managers are never economical with the truth, of course....

Wasn't this lad hailed as "the next big thing" coming out of the academy a couple of years ago...?

Anyone else bought something from the latest Russell Martin spa accessory range...?

Rudi Skacel

Cheers @LeG - appreciated 👍

Hi @LeG - any news on our interest in signing Reed? Assume the trail has gone cold since you posted about it last month? Cheers

Hi @LeG - any report on your findings? Cheers

Q. What lessons did the club learn about making 'sentimental' signings during Theo Walcott's second stint at the club and how was that knowledge utilised when signing Adam Lallana...?

I've been pondering on this 'conspiracy theory' for a while now... i.e. that another relegation/promotion cycle *could* actually be factored into SR's longer term business plan.... either way, I would say we're in for a "nothing to lose" season.... i.e. we shouldn't have anything to fear from another relegation, given we *should* be better placed to bounce back than last season, but if we do happen to stay up, on what is effectively a championship level budget, then that's just an added bonus. Relegation? Survival? Win-Win....
