SNSUN

It's a position we've not got right for years. This is a season we have a chance to redeem ourselves after relegation and we're looking at signing Jason Steele that Brighton fans think is shit, a quick glance at NSC forum shows that. I will have faith the club know what they're doing but right now it seems like we're trying to do things on the cheap, almost as if they got scared after blowing big money on crap the season before last. I'm sure we will spend a bit (I don't count THB in that as he was already signed pending promotion) but I don't think it will be as much as we hope, judging from the early signs.

I would be somewhat underwhelmed with that. We'd be going into a season with McCarthy, Steele and Lumley in the absence of Baz. I was hoping for better. I feel McCarthy has played himself into a new contract just by being better than Bazunu for a few games.

If we buy JWP back do we have a sell on clause? 🤪

THB has loads of time, he's 22 with tons of experience. He'll never play below the Prem again, either we stay up and keep him or we get relegated and he moves to another team. From what I've seen of him he's too good to play at that level again. I'd love to see him play for England one day, perhaps as Stones' natural successor.

Been typing about Adrian Mole's girlfriend much? Trent (copyright) Risk worth taking? We have no other specialist left backs. As long as people don't clamour for them when we're knocked out, I'm very happy with that! 😁

TBF I had him in my squad over Dunk or Guehi (before we found out Maguire was out). Particularly Dunk. But then Dunk is a specialist CB and with Maguire out, I can see why Southgate has selected him. In fact I believe I picked Braithwaite for my starting line up on that BBC picker thing. Shows what I know about football. We all know THB should be going...

Insulting God is blasphemy. If there was an upvote button, 'wankpuffin' gets it.

There is quality there with Grealish - that ball to Trent (copyright) on Monday showed it. It was a decent finish by Trent (copyright) but the vision from Grealish was excellent. The issue with him is consistency and lack of game time. He's only played 1000 minutes all season (or equivalent to 11 games). (Edit... in the Prem....) Not good enough when we only have potentially 7 games to win a tournament.

It looks as if we may be taking Watkins and Toney as back up to Kane but Bowen can play striker as well as anywhere across the 3 attacking midfield positions. His versatility could be crucial - and his domestic goal record is also good.

And he's earned his slot. TBF Southgate has been making the right calls so far IMO... Grealish I'm on the fence about but Eze offers us something different. Put it this way... if Foden, Saka, Bellingham and Kane stay fit, nobody is getting a look in (unless we win the first two games and put a scratch squad out for the third group game).

Maguire out?

Saints - turning fans bipolar since 1885

So there are similarities...

Last time I saw a blow for Wolves like that I was watching Liam Neeson in The Grey. For what it's worth I think technology does have it's place and it isn't going away - it just needs to be done right. None of this bullshit wonky lines stuff or pubic hair over the line stuff - just important stuff. Decisions need to be quicker or not at all and everything needs to be clearer and more transparent.

Does this mean we can officially say "this season"? As in "I enjoyed our play-off win last season and I hope we can finish mid-table this season"? Also, we're 17th. Russell has done an excellent job so far in his debut Prem season.

I would say those two were expected - both have too many players in front of them. Jones looks decent though, he's one for the future - I haven't seen much of Quansah so I don't know if he's the real deal or if he was selected because he's played a few games for the best team in the world.

James Maddison has been cut from the England squad. So that's one of the 7 decided. I thought we'd take him. So now I think we might be taking Wharton - so we have more CM options and it means Bellingham can move forwards into the 10.

To Trousers? Not that I know of. But married? Yes... OK this isn't my wife because 1) this girl has bigger boobs, 2) she's smiling and 3) she looks up for it. Subtle differences. 😛

Well sure, or he'd be called Skirt or Leggings.

We're not having Bob Higgins as coach... right?

I'd much rather get Dubravka if they sign a new keeper/consider Pope number 1.

I've been Googling former Academy prospect Danny Mountain and watching his various videos where he has dalliances with multiple, multiple ladies but so far, no crimes found. I'll keep checking though. 😀

The value for money we've got out of Sulemana is fucking criminal tbf MLT revealed he'd tried betting on games he could influence and was investigated but nothing came of it.

It's a yes from me as long as he can prove his fitness. Always looked decent in an attacking sense and he's only 24. Is he quite as good defensively? Not sure but if we play 3 CBs at the back with wing backs he'd fit the bill perfectly. We've been strongly linked with Ben Johnson before - I reckon we still would be. We need to plan ahead in the eventuality that KWP goes on a free next summer. (Or is sold this one).

Good point, although maybe preparing for another season in the Championship...
