Gabbiadini gave a recent interview where he said that we changed to a more defensive style of play later in the season.

Oi! Don't forget the 68 year olds

I think this must be the case.

You're right. For an objective measurement of the sound levels you'd need a calibrated measurement device. But that's not the point. That racket before the match was loud, distorted and uncomfortable and did nothing to enhance the atmosphere of the game. A large part of the problem is that the PA system is not up to the job and distorts when it is overdriven. Do you really believe that a bit of loud music makes for an atmospheric event? You'll be asking for an electronic organ next like they have in American ice hockey. From your comments I would assume that you are relatively young and possibly don't have the experience of attending a passionate, exciting game of football. Unfortunately Saints' games have fallen a long way short of that in recent times. We never needed loud music at the Dell.

I agree.

Sound levels don't work like that.Decibels are a logarithmic measure so a loud noise of over 80dB will not be augmented by soemone shouting or a phone ringing. How many people have got to complain about the noise being unpleasant before the perpetrators need to turn it down? 80 dB is described as 'unpleasant' and 85 is a lot louder than that. Long term exposure at 85 dB will cause permanent damage. You shouldn't be so flippant in dismissing complaints about loud noise. By the time you notice that it affects you it will be too late. Anyway, what on earth is the point of a loud distorted racket drowning out all conversations for ten minutes?

I have. Many times. If you keep going to gigs you will suffer hearing loss.

It was far too loud, dangerously so. I had my fingers stuck in my ears for ten minutes. The problem is that the sound quality is so poor that all we get is a distorted assault on the senses.

That's about right. Foster's grab was not enough to bring him down.

Well well well. Or should that be good good good? :):)

Where did you find that???? I would have included one but Tapatalk on my iPad won't let me

Can I be greedy and ask for both?

Not so. It's been up and down a lot more than this. At least we don't have to worry about the Black Death every day.

I am not going to get excited over the prospect of finishing eighth again. We were mid-table last season and I don't expect any more for this.

Clean sheet, can't argue with that.

On that basis then Puel was suffering from Koeman's work and Pellegrino is now suffering from Puel's. Yeah, kind of makes sense.

Good to hear that things are going better for you now. Some things are a reminder that there are more important things than football. Milan. Glad I went and also managed to spend a night in Verona which I wouldn't otherwise have managed. Met some great Saints fans too. The whole trip was only spoilt by the match. Let's hope for some more nights like that.

"wound up broke" There's an irony in there somewhere.

The same could be said about any piece of jewellery.

Unsighted? That tackle and the Great Wall of China were both visible from space.

Fair dos. Tomorrow is my first game of the season. I won't be satisfied with less than a three goal win.

Most of them had the good sense to move out.

Vanguard means out in front, taking a lead. I freely admit that I wanted Puel to go but that doesn't mean that I instigated a movement. My posts are almost always reactive and I will respond to comments made by others.

I read a medical book the other day. I couldn't find anything, somebody had removed the appendix.

iPad, wannit.
