Has JWP played any pre season matches?

Tap It is okay but nowhere near the quality of Vibrant and Unity! If you haven’t tried those, you’re missing out. Unity are now a 10 min walk from the Stadium with a new tap room!

They should sell Unity or Vibrant Forest craft ale. Excellent breweries and local.

Been out all day. Have we agreed he is overrated yet?

30 pages or so of people writing him off. You do realise there are other online platforms don’t you? He’s getting a lot of support elsewhere.

I have seen him play yes. I’ve been a season ticket holder for over 10 years. My point is the fact that he gets such an easy ride just like Ramirez for no apparent reason. Saints fans latch on to a player every now and then and defend them for no clear reason. Why does he get an easier time of it than others? Some people were posting comments that made it seem like he was Ronaldo quality, completely over the top. I just don’t get it.

Weird fascination with Boufal on here. He’s getting the ‘optimism’ treatment that Ramirez got. It’s weird. People are quick to make excuses and find reasons why he hasn’t performed. This is all based on feelings. People ‘feel’ there’s a player in there somewhere. Sell him. Quickly. He doesn’t deserved to get loads of chances.

I think this is a little different that a standard job. You can’t compare someone earning millions (for hardly any work) to someone in a regular job. I don’t buy that capitalist viewpoint. It’s an obscene amount of money. You take the rough with the smooth. Nothing would induce me to have any sympathy for him. I’ll save that for people in real financial difficulty.

He’s always been a pretty unpleasant man. I never understood the adoration he received from some fans. The truth gets out in the end.

It seems that our first signing is usually around the last week of June. Hopefully we can sign one player without having to wait for the dross to go: Austin, Carrillo, Boufal, Moi, Hoedt, Cedric, Forster, Stephens. I fear we won’t be able to do much until we can shift some of these. That will be tricky.

Do we have any fairly reliable sources of information on the forum any more?

I feel that giving the players 2 days off was an awful decision. They are about to have weeks off. They didn’t need it. Some worrying decisions from Ralph. I like him and was singing his praises before we signed him. He was my preferred choice. It doesn’t mean I’m blinkered though. He’s made some errors. I feel for the fans today.

I’m a big Ralph H fan but his post match comments today are embarrassing. Excuses, excuses, excuses.

Go all out for the win!

What a brilliant day! I was pessimistic and thought Cardiff would pull off surprising results but that’s just me! I love it when I’m wrong. Well done Saints!

Are we thinking that are goal difference is superior enough to Brighton’s to not be a concern in the event we finish on the same points? I think it’s about 5 difference.

We beat Wolves since Liverpool.

How did Cardiff play today? Unlucky? Deservedly beaten?

Sorry, that would give Brighton 38max.

Even if Cardiff win 3 and end on 40 pts, Brighton seem likely to get another 3-4 max? That’s 37. That leaves us needing 2 (if we keep the better goal difference). Our first half yesterday was worrying though. Need to beat Bournemouth really.

Saints - 40 points Relegated - Brighton on 34 points Champions - Liverpool Other two CL spots - Arsenal and Spurs Auto Promotion - Norwich and Leeds Playoff Winner - Aston Villa FA Cup - Man City Champions League - Spurs v Liverpool final. Liverpool Europa League - Arsenal

I can see Cardiff bearing Fulham and possibly Palace. Man Utd have lost the plot again. They could finish on 38. Brighton possibly get 3. 4 would be exceptional really. Brighton might just see us safe even if we don’t get another point. As for us.. Loss to Newcastle and Watford Minimum of 4 pts from Bournemouth and Huddersfield West Ham- who knows!

I’m worried how arrogant people are getting regarding our position...

September 1. Classic.
