80 per cent possession AA booked

Meh it counts. Ooh Charly

Fuck you Burnley and your 9 million bid. Price just hit 30 large. 😄

We have to keep him! Tellllllllla

Keep it cool Saints. Few astray passes, some iffy defending.

Well we do have a player called Edozie.

COYR! Sky, Fajitas and a Strongbow for me.

If it's Jobi McAnuff he's ex west ham

Square pegs in square holes. Well bugger me.

If a long throw is genetic, Hull have a hell of a player on their hands!

Followed by a post-game interview where he's beaming his big smile and declaring his love for the club, saying how excited he is for the season. Media department come up with the hashtag #gleetella

I wanted quite a few squad players to leave this summer, but I didn't want to see Jack off.

I'm looking forward to our Willy replacement.

Reading RAWK, they're not happy that we said he's available for selection tonight in case he gets injured. If anything it might make Liverpool hurry the hell up and present us with a decent bid today. We'll see. I guess the starting line up will be telling.

Alcaraz. To make sure we keep him.

Predicting the starting line up is going to be fun! Are we thinking something like: Baz, KWP, Bednarek, Stephens, Manning, JWP, Lavia, Smallbone, Alcaraz, Tella, AA? Either way we should have enough to win the game, but there is the momentum issue to think about, a promoted team against a relegated team and morale could be with Wednesday. However I think Martin has been here long enough now to get his style and philosophy implemented and we still have a lot of good players, so I'm going with a 2-0 Saints. 10pm tonight...

It'll be a charity single from the combined choir of Liverpool, West Ham and Burnley. #freeTellafreeLaviafreeJWP

Bournemouth late to the "pay what we want" events of this summer.

West Ham are like that kid that wants to threaten you by leaving but is waiting for you to say something so they can come back. "I'm walking away! See, I'm still going... nearly at the door now see? Nearly touching the door handle... door is open, last chance! I'm walking out the room..." ".... OK you called my bluff. What do you mean no still? Did you you hear what I said? Right I'm walking away again. See I'm nearly at the door... nearly.... nearly...." "...OK ok how about this..."

Well they are Prem, for now, so that allure is there, but let's not forget Burnley have also signed a few AM/wingers this summer already so he may not be guaranteed the first team football he got before his injury last season. "David Sullivan briefs journalists" is all you need to see here. Prick. I wonder if we want Downes as part of any deal too. I think the player stops that happening though.

Sulemana who has not featured so far and who is wanted by other clubs and may not be here at the start of September? I'd much rather Tella who is already proven in the Championship for a title winning team, is seemingly happy to be here and has played in pre-season and will probably start on Friday. I would like to keep both of course but Tella is the one for right now. As for money, we're going to get plenty from other places.

There was one yesterday. ABK has a £25 million release clause, it makes me wonder though whether anyone would meet that after his injury record. Would Saints stick with that valuation or go less? We seem to be sticklers for getting what we want for players this summer. I can see him being a late exit this summer.

Money in, wages out. It begins. Reasonable money for him too.

Agree but they were after Sulemana in January and we beat them to it so I expect they still hold that interest in him. Everton are skint though, they're selling Gray to fund Chermiti - they've made a fair bit of money this summer though and have got some big earners off the wage bill so we should absolutely not be doing them any favours. Although I can see this happening.

I think Adams to Everton is a decent fit. They struggle to score goals and with Adams up front, they can continue to struggle to score goals.
