Thanks for the update, Steve. Was glitchy a bit earlier today (got some 504s) but hope it continues to improve.

Yawn.

That's a pretty low bar tbh.

Managed to get in for first time in a day or so, but v slow

Yeah, it starts with a vaguely amusing twist/idea...such as his witty claim to be ITK. You sort of smile the first few times you hear it. But God, it gets rather wearing and tedious after a while. Deeply tedious, in fact.

Been awful again today...have finally got on after 50 attempts. Losing the will to try again. Hope Steve can fix it.

The oddity to me is that he isn't training with the squad at all. At least from what we can discern.

Managed to get in this morning after 4 or 5 attempts.

Anyone know what ahs happened to Salisu? No sign of him in today's friendly.

Managed to get back in at last. But, basically this forum has now broken down. Active traffic must be near zero. Real pity.

Any chance of an update from Steve? Is this as good as it gets or is there some plan/opportunity to solve this problem?

I’m not bothered about gambling companies sponsoring football clubs. I’d rather we tackled problem gambling directly rather than denormalising gambling overall. However, I’ve never heard of this outfit and it seems it’s as much to do with crypto-currency as with sports betting. The previous LD sports deal really looks extraordinarily dodgy. I hope we can sort of brush it away and move on, but I fear it could come back to bite us.

Situation is getting worse. Getting on about 1 attempt in 20.

We have a 100% win record in the LD sports/sash shirt, so I'm keeping mine!

It's annoying, but it's probably the high cost of the rights issues. If you've sold a deal to Sky/BT for £1000000bn (or whatever), then saying "can our fans watch the games for a tenner a pop?" is tricky. The lower down the leagues you go, the less expensive the TV rights and the less of a toss anyone gives about streaming the matches for a few quid.

Today was impossible. I really like this site, but after about 15 attempts this was the first time I could get onto it. Real pity, hope Steve can crack it.

Seemed fixed for the last few days. Near impossible today, sadly.

I really hope this is true. Not only is he a great LB, but we have no obvious replacement in that slot who is anywhere near as good.

This is a really good point. We arent really stitched together to make the most of JWP. We might do better with some Heskey style player or a commading and tall midfielder. (Yosh was quite good from set pieces, but Bednarek and Stephes less so)

If it goes to an employment tribunal, the players will win. This may take 1+ years or it may take 2+ years. But it will surely happen. Of that, have no doubt. No doubt at all.

It has been ridiculous really. I’m not asking for a free service, but what’s the website for? Just make it into a Saints shop and provide no news if you want, but it’s so far behind other reporting that it’s not worth bothering with. It doesn’t even provide official confirmation of breaking news a day or two later. Do it properly or bin it.

Palace away

A few odd things going on at the moment. The shirt sponsor has pulled out, apparently (no confirmation from the club). The pitchside dining experience planned for Saturday and Sunday was cancelled on Tuesday due to “weather and availability”. The Matt Crocker zoom webinar planned for this week was suddenly cancelled yesterday with a stated vague aspiration to rearrange it next month or in October. Something big happening behind the scenes?

Wellbeck would be utterly bizarre. Would be an almost polar opposite of the type of player we claim to be targeting.

Fulham away, Man Utd home.
