BARCELONASAINT

Lets hope its Real Madrid 😉

I have to say i got Larin very wrong when he first signed for us and i'm big enough to admit it. He is now one of my favourite players probably just behind Scienza. What both players have in common is they are both grafters and both very humble and have taken nothing for granted. I hope he comes back from what is already a successful World Cup for him and Canada firing on all cylinders and ready to score the goals that will make us challengers for promotion this season.

Morocco excellent first half, Scotland awful, Australia masterclass at defending

my man!!!

haha at last!

wtf has Larin done wrong not to be on the pitch?? The one thing Canada lack is someone who knows where the bloody is!

Tonda is not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

retained list is out! Ross is not resigning. Goodbye Romeu

I will be amazed if Peretz and Larin have signed without some reassurance regarding Tondas future, not to mention other players that appear to have expressed a desire to stay. For me this all points to the club at least knowing Tonda will be our manager next season.

Louis Munteanu who plays for MLS club DC United and is currently playing for Romania against Wales looks a real handful and a natural striker. Scored an absolute belter in the first half that has been wrongly ruled out for offside and had an excellent instinctive shot well saved by the the keeper. Only 23years old and would not cost a bundle.

I wonder how much this is all his agent talk and just trying to get an improved deal from Saints. Ross has always spoken about how much he has to thank Saints for the way they have stuck by him and helped him back to where he is now. He has always come across as a player that felt a debt of gratitude to the club and therefore part of me would be surprised if he did not resign. However football is cut-throat and his agent will be in his ear telling him he has one more pay day and he needs to maximise that for his family etc etc. I will be disappointed if he decides to go elsewhere but that is football and i have to believe we have already identified his replacement should he choose not to renew.

I honestly didn't think we had a chance of keeping him. I really wonder whats going on behind the scenes? what the players are being offered to stay and fight for promotion? There really does appear to be a siege mentality going on and i for one love it!

Since when?

I hate Borough now more than i hate Real Madrid and that is saying something!!

This perfectly sums up my stance on this....well said

ah i see. Yes i get the inference and tbh you are probably not wide of the mark as the spying practise is fairly norm in Germany......oh and pretty much everywhere if we are honest!

and this was in January

I was due to work a late shift yesterday but managed to change to do an early shift so i could watch the final....boy do i regret that decision now. What an awful final. I really wanted an English side to win the final as i can't stand PSG but Arsenal once they scored had no ambition and just tried to kill the game with defend defend defend and time wasting. They really can have no complaints this morning and Arteta is embarrassing claiming they should have had a penalty in extra time. They were lucky a penalty wasn't given against Saka in the first half for his double handball and lucky they were not down to 10 players when they conceded the penalty. Best team won on the night but no one will remember this final it was so poor!

who the hell bloody cares apart from the namby pamby British who get worked up about the slightest thing! There's a drop of rain.....quick build an Ark the floods are coming. There's some nice sunny weather....oh fuck we are going to end up like the surface of Mars by Christmas FFS!

what we want or expect as fans is of no significance be honest. I would fully expect from a legal perspective the club and those employed by it have been told to keep their mouths shut and rightly so until any and al proceedings have been completed. The sensible thing is to say nothing until the right time and that is clearly not now!

really, the rest of the world is laughing at the English. No one outside the UK thinks this is a serious matter, it goes on all the time abroad and is accepted (maybe not liked but accepted. It's only the bloody pathetic English making a mountain out of a molehill

Its only the stuck up English that have a major problem with whats he's done, the rest of the world really don't care!

that is tragic news, the poor lad with his whole life ahead of him. RIP

yup unfortunately i get that. It's the hypocrisy i just cant stand. They do nothing about the big boys but always see the smaller clubs as easy pickings to flex their muscles

Fuck the FA we have had our punishment and Tonda is ours and the fa can go do one if they think they can dictate who we can or can't have as a manager. Sort the shit out in the Premier League first before they dare start snipping at us. Europe is laughing at this ridiculous situation and will happily take a gifted manager off our hands.
