Convict Colony

Jones is the shane long of defenders

VvD is a Rolls Royce type defender, deserves to win Balloon Dor I reckon, completed solved Liverpool's defensive problems inspite of them still having lovren

Dunno if it really is relevant but last season Orban (capt 26yr old) and Konate (20yr old) played 23 and 27 times respectively for RB. Upacamecano played 14 times. Now they have Amapdu on loan from chelsea in the mix. Also maybe I've missed something but I cant seem to find Upa featuring in the pre-season friendlies so far........

Saw an interview with him the other day and he was saying how he liked him and was a fantastic player.

I think the original Van Hanegem was there on the pitch today for the photos before the match and I also walked past Dirk Kuyt. Really good atmosphere and I'm going back for sure for a normal game as the fans can make it awesome. Yeah my mate said Jorgensen was good but then was injured last year. Note to all Saints fans, Feyenoord haven't won 1 game in pre-season I think

Was a good day out with my mate. In the first half in the first 20mins it felt like we should of been 3 nil up, the press was excellent in shutting down Feyenoord, much better than we've done before. After that it became who had the least worst defence as feyenoord starting ping balls behind our defenders. Their left winger and midfielder who scored (think he's 19) played well. 2nd half the changes and formation change just made everything look disjointed. Feyenoord ran the show and we survived. Reed really was everywhere so he has harmed his chances. I felt our midfield in the 1st half was getting overrun, but if we had had Reed in there instead of JWP I'm not sure it would of.

This is a game of **** defences, pressing has been good though

Probably 25k here forgot it's holiday season

Saints fans up top

Cloudy and humid here today

hahahahahaha wonder what he was doing there

i predict 10 goals and 7 assists I love this time of year, I'm optimistic about everything But in all seriousness, fast transitions from the back and his ability to beat the entire team could be ridiculous if he stops doing his worldy shots and looks up for a pass or goal (not from 30yrds like normal)

No idea he's Dutch, maybe it's the free for season ticket holders bit for this one. Doesn't matter should be a great game and atmosphere for sure. They also just signed Leory Fer so they are excited and Jaap Stam is the coach.

Yeah he seemed to think tho that was the start of proper ones and I think the free for season tickets apply to this one, anyway we will find out

Also just spoke to my Feyenoord supporting mate and season ticket holders can go free there and it's their 1st home game for the season so it's always a big one and he reckons they will get 30-40k turn up and you can hardly buy anymore tickets on their website sat together [emoji50] Will be bloody impressed if they do that would be awesome.

note to all travellers to the rotterdam game on sun the weather should be back to normal temps tomorrow, last day of 37c today

Big assumption which I don't think is right. He was one of celta's better players last season as they fought for survival. He was also on the bench for most of morrocco's games and came on and impressed. His issue with MoPo was that everyone else played **** for ages but stayed in the team, but he had maybe 1 chance and if he didnt do something amazing was dropped next game. It was 100% the manager.

I read this and think one thing...... You've listened to Talksport too much

Nice one - been past the stadium a lot but never been inside, its a proper football stadium and looking at the feyenoord tickets it looks like the stands that they have open at least will have a decent amount of people there.

Off course just will be on the way home or maybe a bit at half time

Thanks good summary

Am off to the game in Rotterdam on Sunday, I expect a world class performance as I'm off with a Feyenoord fan.

i really cant get the fekir one. Seville is a club level down in my eyes v Lyon. Is his knee/leg really that screwed that he wont be able to sustain higher tempo leagues ? It is super weird Also can confirm I have never ever heard of this brazilian to newcastle and if they spend 40mil now their better manager has left cos they wont spend money they are a bigger joke than i thought, I would trust steve "I screw clubs and get paid for being ****" bruce as much as ashely.

Still has us in his linkedin. Maybe he just has some extended time off or is working elsewhere

Oh looky here it was in plain sight all the time, he wants to promote/use saints to promote his company. Nov 3 2016 article.
