We'll win this on pens. (I don't believe that, but if it does happen I can edit this bit and look like a genius)

Interesting last few minutes on my TV. Peter Beale just scored himself a burlesque dancer, Zoe Slater had some beef with Sharon and Jack and Ravi got away with planting the gun on some bad guy. Riveting. Wait am I on the wrong channel?

There's always George Long lads. 😁

Why can't we sign a decent keeper ffs. Solid performance before that.

Screen_Recording_20250922_235153_Samsung Internet.mp4 Well that's a surprise. Not.

Too early but if we don't win, say, 3 of the next 6 to the end of October at the very least, I will probably change my mind. That's Boro, Sheffield United, Derby, Swansea, Bristol City and Blackburn. Clubs that pre-season we should have had expectations of beating and now they worry me.

Liverpool have back up players like Mamardashvilli, Bradley, Gomez, Endo, Robertson, Chiesa, Ngumoha and even Isak, who is looking to get his season started and we all know who that could be against. Whether or not they'll all play, but even those 8 could probably beat our best 11 right now. I'd play Jay instead of Fraser, Archer instead of Downs, Jelert instead of Manning and Quarshie instead of Jack... but that's why I'm not the manager.

Well bugger me, the wheel gets it right for a second time this season. Just a shame the "right" result was the "wrong" result for Saints. It will be back for the Liverpool game once I've had time to scold it and tell it that it's a naughty boy.

While I'm not advocating a change of manager just yet, if we do go down the managerial sacking route I'd be interested in Sean Dyche. We like a ginger manager and he'd at least sort the defence out.

To be fair, some of our best years in recent times came after we dropped into League One so...

😁

I'm reading KUMB to make myself feel better. Good old West Ham, a Central Midfield made in Southampton.

Just wow. We just haven't got started this season. What's Russ up to these days? 😁

I'm not even following this due to work and yet even I know this is a big second half coming up for Will. 😬

We're not blessed with strength in numbers in CM. If he is ill, it does show where Sesay, Aribo and even potentially Edwards are in Still's priority list for CM.

The Prediction Wheel, reliable once all season. It is as pointless as Albert Gronbaek's signing. It is as accurate as Guido Carillo and as useless as Ali Dia. And yet here we are. Let's see if it predicts a huge win for Saints. Screen_Recording_20250920_131056_Samsung Internet.mp4 No. No it's doesn't. But that's possibly a good thing. It basks in the glory of getting the opening day result right against Wrexham and to hell with the rest of the season. Personally I think we'll win. It won't be pretty, it won't be comprehensive, but I think we'll have enough. And then there's Liverpool...

Shuts on Tuesday, so still time for Saudi clubs to splash the cash.

He's a Blades fan which helps. Any other club and he'd probably tell them where to go but he'll probably get hero status now at his favourite club whatever happens this season. Mad owners to get rid of him in the first place. Leeds stuck with Farke after we went up and they went up the next season. Sheff Utd could have done the same. Good for us I suppose.

I'd rather go to Nottingham on Saturday, pose as a student and queue up for Bonnie Blue's bus than watch another Saints performance like todays, but I still think that we'll gel soon. Clean sheet was a plus even if the Skates attack was quite blunt and it shows we don't need 3CBs. Get the rest of the blend right and we'll be fine. Archer isn't a lone striker but I do like him and feel he needs support. Right now I'd play Stewart as a lone striker seeing as we have Fellows, Fraser, Jay and Leo whipping crosses in.

Yeah, shows that 3CBs aren't needed. Just needed more quality in attack.

Disjointed but to be expected with new players. Play the Skates in November and that would have been a different story.

Taylor over. That'll be that. Could've been worse.

Late pressure Saints. Make it count. Last chance...

Come on Saints! I need a stiffy for days!

4 mins of injury time.
