Golac's Cunning Stunts

Just watching BT Sport the big interview, they have Moi on. What an intelligent guy - very impressed with him.

He could have stretched to a full page spread in the Echo surely 🙂 Joking aside, all the very best Oriol, a great player, a role model and a gent. So much respect for you as a footballer and as a very decent human being. Will never forget the semi final at Anfield, he was a beast that night.

Forest have been shit (understandably with 20 new players) but if Haarland and Alvarez score goals for fun like that, I can't see how any other side is gonna live with them

would be an insane signing

The rate Lavia is going, City will be back in for the buy back before we know it

Ralph On Romeo Lavia: "The negative thing is he is maybe injured now for a few weeks, so not perfect."

Well my clever ploy worked there. I'll try another one - if only Che was a more prolific striker

just wish he had a better end product

I wanted him gone and was very critical of him. There comes a point though where you see he is going to be backed so then I made a decision to be supportive. Not that it matters to Ralph or anyone else of course. So far he has a draw and a win and has a team selection that is looking better than it has for a long time. Kind of reminds me of Italia 90 when Bobby Robson was forced by circumstance to pick the formation and team everyone knew he should have been picking from the start. Ralph is a long way from being out of the woods, but let's hope he can turn the ship round and we all get an enjoyable season.

Has he actually been banned then? That would be funny

I heard one where he was asked if a striker is incoming and he gave a very definite Yes

come on scousers you'll be able to boast about this forever more you can even have a season end parade about it if you get 10

Sorry, not Saints related but...not sure how old you are, but did you ever have the 101 great goals video? I always remember "A quality goal by a quality player" commentary..anyone remember which player scored the goal?

come on scousers...we all know it means more

me too! Can't believe it!

Salah hasn't scored yet either

I voted Lavia, not because ABK wasn't outstanding but because Lavia is gonna be one of those players who when he does his job well you just won't notice it. Some of his tackles, interceptions and defensive work was really very good today. Having said that, welcome to Southampton ABK!

why do we need 3 different posts to discuss a game 🤷‍♂️ for someone with limited brain power like myself its hard to keep track of it. Was enjoying the match thread convos too

I'm not sure they will. They will want to put the last few games to rights. Wouldn't surprise me if they go for the jugular there

0-5 bompey

Firminho is on fire 3 assists and a goal so far... if only i had him in the fantasy team

Aribo looks very strong and holds the ball up well. Wouldn't write him off yet for sure. I wanted things to be quicker and more intense at times and thats what we need from Joe in certain situations when we are breaking

3-0 scousers - the 9-0 is on

very impressed with Palace so far this season - they might do well

Agreed. Disappointing to lose that though - I thought the lads played well. One thing though - did anyone else think there was a slight lack of intensity when we went one down? Like we didn't really shift up a gear until the game was almost ending?
