So what? To use it as a kind of insult is pathetic.

What you said was nonsense, over an international weekend the players that stay are given time off.

Even if they win both games and come 2nd, there is a reasonable chance they'll miss out as only 8 of the 9 second place teams make the playoffs. Currently their group is behind points wise vs the other 2nd placed teams.

What do you suggest he should have done with Mbappe running at him like that? He won't need to deal with £160m strikers when we play any Premier League team this season.

I didn't say team, I said squad. There is far more depth to our squad now. The depth when in the first couple of years after promotion was poor beyond the starting XI.

Now the quality bar to be in the first team squad is higher, so the policy has changed due to the stronger depth of squad we have. They need to go on loan to get them to the higher level needed to be in the Saints squad.

I remain puzzled as to what the need for paying for this forum. How many other clubs have their main forum where you have to pay to post more than 3 times per day? This site isn't that busy. Plus, Steve isn't even using particularly good forum software, other club forums have better features.

No pleasing some people! - sell top players = "gash summer" - don't sell top players & make club record signing from Juventus & Dutch international centre back from Lazio = "gash summer"

What evidence do you have for any of that? He isn't even assistant manager any more, so if anything his influence has decreased with Pellegrino bringing his own assistant in.

That article contains the line... Which is ********, as he was photographed and filmed training with the 1st team in the first week back and went on one of the pre-seaosn training camps. If they make up that line... what else have they made up in the article? Hard to take it seriously if they can't get things like that right.

Small steps trousers, build yourself up to world peace. Start with trying to get a peace treaty between me and Turkish.

:mcinnes: It is puzzling what point you are trying to make, you've just highlighted Gray wasn't deemed good enough to play last season for a team that finished below the team Redmond played for!

2016/17 Gray 30 Premier League games... 1 goal Redmond 37 Premier League games... 7 goals

He wouldn't be signed to compete with Sims & Hesketh this season, he'd probably be playing for the under 18s. - Hesketh is 21 years old - Sims is 20 years old - Hassaini is 16 years old

Did he though? Not hard to guess those were going to happen.

I think we may use 11 players in the starting line-up.

He was named as technical director in the summer of 2014. It isn't a new thing and hasn't stopped him being involved with the under 23s in the past.

A tweet by Ross Wilson last night suggests Bill died on Monday. He was probably in hospital for a few days after the heart attack.

If we did that, they wouldn't be fresh for the league game only 3 days later. We don't need out best team out to beat Wolves' 1st team. Plus in any case Wolves will probably do similar and field a weakened side, as promotion is far more important for them.

How many club's that play 1 upfront can you name with four senior team strikers in their squads? You can only name 25 over 21 year olds in a squad. If we had 4 for every position that is 44 players and can't be done.

Part of the deal with the sponsors from Asia. Doesn't really matter when the draw is, we'll just find out 3 hours later when we wake up.

Him being listed as a sub doesn't really mean much. 29th January - Gabbiadini named as one of 12 possible subs for Napoli vs Palermo31st January - Gabbiadini joins SaintsItalian teams just name nearly everyone as sub, as they can use any of 23 players on a matchday.

He is 2nd in the pecking order as striker for league games, wouldn't it make sense to play him from the start in the cup? He'll be a bit miffed if he doesn't start vs Wolves, as will Long.

That team should be good enough to beat a Championship side, especially one that will also likely make lots of changes.
