Sheaf Saint

Looking extremely likely that Gabbi will be on his way, and Hoedt has been completely frozen out so unless he is happy to get paid for not even making the bench then he will hopefully be moved on as well.

Not really, because it means we will still have to rely on Targett at LWB. I would much rather have a dedicated CB and Bertrand playing wing back.

If he's fit then I would be very surprised if he doesn't at least make the bench for the replay against Derby.

Won't make any difference though. The general service from Northern Rail these days is so horrifically bad that you won't really notice if they are on strike or not.

He did a while back, but didn't he then get banned from SMS by Cortese?

Rule 1?

Neves' goal was almost identical to West Ham's first at SMS (forget who the scorer was) and it's interesting that Paul Ince was critical of Mignolet for letting it in.

I was under the impression that Sims was on a season-long loan. In which case, we have exercised a recall option which means he must be in Ralph's plans. Or was it just a half-season loan to begin with?

Yeah I would imagine they are one of the strongest teams in it and among the favourites for the trophy. Edit: I've just had a little butchers online and I can't find anyone offering odds on outright winner of the tournament, but at 1/5 Japan have the shortest odds of any of the teams in the competition to win their group. So I don't think we can bank on Yoshi getting an early plane home from this one

7 days in to the window and the only movement so far is Davis to Rangers, which we all assumed would happen last summer anyway. When can we expect Alpine Saint's customary meltdown about how we are always so slow to do our business and miss out on our primary targets as a result?

Good luck Steven, and thanks for your efforts. A true gent and a credit to the club by all accounts. But I'm a little miffed we don't get a fee for him AND we have to pay his wages until July. Might hinder our chances of making any signings this window.

So we get nothing for him then. Great. Although, I guess it's only fair seeing as we got him for next to nothing in 2012 when Rangers collapsed. Would have been good to get a fee for him, and this way we still don't even get him off the wage bill, so it's win-win for Rangers but a kick in the nuts for us in terms of being able to make new signings this window.

If only he had mentioned this before, maybe someone might have listened.

Just no quality in attack, except for Redmond. Long, Austin, Moi - can all just f*ck off as far as I'm concerned. Stealing a living at the moment, all of them. Seriously, how the f*ck is Shane Long still here and getting picked after it was clear 3-4 years ago that he wasn't good enough for us? Austin at least has been good previously but is so well past it now. As for Elyounoussi - I can't think of any words strong enough to describe how terrible he is.

In fairness, given the performances of the other players so far today, he probably had more chance of scoring himself than if he passed it to someone.

http://soccerlegacy.net/premier-league-live-stream-6/ It's decent ish quality but about 2 mins behind.

Redmond is the only forward player giving a decent account of himself today. Long, Austin and Moi have contributed absolutely nothing.

I hope that's the last time we ever see Elyounoussi in a Saints shirt. Absolutely hopeless player.

Moi will never get a better chance to score than that.

It's a great finish, can't take that away from them. But this should have been game over at 2-0. I'll be very surprised if we win this now.

What the hell was Vest doing passing the ball out of play under no pressure right before that? He looked immense at Chelsea on Wednesday but he's been dreadful today.

Well then he'll just have to score another two goals

Cracking goal Redders.

True, but if you absolutely had to choose one of the two then it's a no-brainer.
