Saint NL

Nah, big striker today, so it'll be balls in behind 😂

Wasn't Downes supposed to be ill? He's on the bench. It gives the whole "long term illness" theory a bit of credibility.

Loads of strikers to chuck on after 70 mins 🔥🔥🔥

Downs? I'm surprised. The rest is as expected. Big game for Downs, let's see what he can do with some service.

Are you in a tunnel perhaps?

You're probably right, but that means there's no room for Azaz and I can't see him being left out.

Pompey set the blueprint to completely shut us down. When our defenders have the ball, mark Downes and Charles tightly. That means THB or Stephens will pass out to the full backs, who will just hit it long for Archer and we lose possession. It was pretty clear, especially the first half. Any other team in the league will be doing the same.

Even with the shift to four at the back, the midfield seems quite weak. Jander looked good when he came on, so maybe he will help out there. The long balls to Archer in the first half were a strange tactic, he seems to have beefed up a bit over the summer. A couple of times he put the centre back on his backside. A bit of a nothing game in the end.

Here we go.....

Itv summary so far, 2 mins of franny and 5 mins of adverts....

Franny has some new threads

Good changes. The bench is very strong for this level, hopefully we're in a position to give Jander, Scienza etc a run out and see what they can do.

Fernandes must be cursing his agent, West Ham look rotten

Big old boooo at half time.

Leicester 2-1 down and a man down. Boro losing as well, the top of the table is looking pretty exciting already

There was a hit piece written in the daily mail recently about his dad's behaviour and the effect it's had on the dressing room. Reddit link because the DM is paywalled:

Big Ange is going to be appointed as Forest manager as his Greek mate is the owner. looking forward to the second season because he always wins something.

I just saw that Stuart Armstrong signed for Aberdeen. A good signing for them imo

Stolen from Twitter Some very dodgy likenesses, but a nice graphic nonetheless

Hahaha scousers 😂

I heard the final video was another contract extension for Jack Stephens.

Newcastle's first off for Wissa was £25m. Final offer was £55m. Shows that Saints did well to turn down the initial offers for Dibling and Fernandes.
