Does mean Ings has a decent shout for more game time though - two less forward players to choose from and one would have expected Greenwood to get more minutes. Standard young footballer behaviour unfortunately! (Although I have heard the Icelandic girls can be a bit kinky!)

Group E - purely for selfish reasons (provided crowds might be allowed in for these games under a pilot scheme - you never know!)

If we can offload Carrillo (a big if) and the rumours about Obafemi are true then it makes sense. For the price being quoted it would be decent business too. However, with the exception of Suarez and Aguero (for whatever reason) South American strikers have routinely failed in the Premier League. Not sure if it is a cultural thing or that they don’t get the same levels of protection as they would on the continent.

Matty Longstaff rumoured again

Ings looks a little jaded. He and Obafemi are getting no service. Clearly Vestergaard, Hojberg are not up to it. Vokins has done ok. Smallbone and JWP need to move the ball quicker.

I am struggling to work out which team is which - my Red/Green colour blindness is not helping at the moment. I should point out it is particularly bad when Saints players are running with their back to the camera.

The third kit is absolutely brilliant. Why couldn’t they make it our Home kit?

Players struggled with slow pitch first 10-15 mins, Adams will come good

Anyone else from here going this evening? I will be there with my daughter. Not many opportunities to see Saints play so close to home.

It's a nice little ground, the food (despite being Vegan) is excellent and the club and fans are incredibly friendly - unless they are playing Cheltenham Town. It is an absolute a*se to get to though! Top of a hill in the middle of a small village. Away fans stand on an open terrace along the side of the pitch opposite the main stand.

Saints have been drawn against Walsall; Coventry and Forest Green Rovers in this years' Checkatrade Trophy. As someone who lives in Gloucester, I am very happy.

I agree to a point - however if we are selling to Utd or Arsenal, especially if we get a swap deal included (say £18m + Player) then I would prefer that to selling to an Everton or Leicester for £25m

It's the 9th of July. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11065/11713244/premier-league-ins-and-outs-all-the-2019-summer-transfer-window-moves Take a look at this list of transfers so far. It appears that we are offloading two or three players (all for relatively decent fees) and are known to be targeting a new CB. I am not 'happy-clappy' but lets give the club a couple more weeks before hitting the Meltdown button again.

For the fee we paid he has done everything I would want him to. Yes it would have been better if we could have got more games out of him, but if we can get £8m we should snap their hands off for him. Replace with fitter, younger model

He is a good player, but has been in and out of the team since he joined. If we can recoup or even better the fee and re-invest then that is the best outcome for all concerned. This may not need to be a direct replacement either, rather using the fee towards higher wages for a better CB (for example).

From what I have seen of him (the odd Derby game and England u21's) he has a horrific mistake in him at all times and often covers this by sheer pace. There aren't many young CB's out there currently who I feel are as attainable though, so it does make sense that we would take a look.

Didn't realise we were even playing them - when is it?

Let's be honest though. There would be plenty of fans who would moan that the shirt was 'boring' or 'dull' etc. The sponsor is pretty naff, but we have had worse imho - the Flybe logo was dreadful in every guise. I do like the look of the third shirt but will reserve judgement until I see actual examples.

As we approach this threads 10 year anniversary, are there any plans to celebrate? Maybe a quick recap of what has happened in the last decade or a list of the best posts?

Birmingham supporter who I work with is resigned to losing Adams this window - says he is clearly destined for bigger, better things. Still a little raw, will make mistakes but for £14m would be a steal; she compared directly to Maddison price last year.

He clearly shouldn't have got involved and the hand around the neck was not great - but I am fed up with protesters who seem to think that there will be no consequence for their actions. Think back to when Prescott thumped the bloke on the election trail. Never liked Two Jags politics but I respected him for getting a few off in response. Climate change is a serious topic and to be fair the government and the opposition parties are finally starting to treat it as such - the UK needs to move much quicker and further but in comparison with a lot of western countries with a similar sized economy they are doing pretty well. So easy for Labour politicians to scream 'outrage' sack him etc, put them in the same situation and see what they would do.

VAR is sh*t. I would rather have the wrong decisions, the controversy and the standard big club bias instead of this cr*p. Next season is going to be chaos, especially in the first few months.

Always a bit suspicious of strikers from Scotland, in the same way that many strikers in the Dutch league aren't quite as good as their stats suggest. I suppose the advantage of Turnbull is that he is young and we can legitimately use the pathway that the likes of Van Dijk, Wanyama etc have gone through to tempt him (in addition to the wage he will get compared to Celtic). £5m bid would be relatively risk free - if it doesn't work out, there will plenty of Championship clubs or Celtic who would be keen to have him at that price.

The problem for any new leader is that the Parliamentary arithmetic remains the same. No Deal (although the default) is the least popular option available and there are plenty of Conservative MP's who will bring down any government that tries to force this through. A General Election is the most likely scenario (early December is my best guess) with another Hung Parliament and a Labour-LibDem coalition.

The little p*mpey boat! Haha... Hopefully more of a Mane than an Elyonoussi
