Thank goodness at least one Saints’ team can score: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/live/c2knxep8811t But still could only draw. 4:4. A much better watch than the shite served up at St Mary’s earlier today.

I see the supporters are not going to be entertaining at the stadium tonight. Too morose, I expect. 😞 Good luck, Christophe and Fred.

Pedant alert - If 1948/49 was your first season surely you attended only three of those games: the Swindon cup game was in the previous season.

We are obviously saving the number 8 for Spertsyan, who will join us in January. 🤫

I wonder why Goztepe did not apparently want one of our strikers. Sinclair Armstrong does not seem to be very good; I am surprised Goztepe want him. But he has scored 11 goals in 11 games. We could have given them a genuine Tall Paul.

If a player wants a quicker trajectory than the downward slide Saints have endured in recent seasons that player needs to rethink his priorities, ffs.

Very good 👏 He did not; he knew he could not: he used the incoming tide to demonstrate that his powers were limited.

Matthew, who’s our fat drummer?

Having seen no evidence to corroborate the supposed rumour of DD to Bristol City, I believe the origin of the misunderstanding has come from someone noticing that Bristol Live summer transfer window live news updates included a report that a deal for Downs had been done, without also noticing that it was done by Saints; Bristol Live include news about other southern clubs, not merely City and Rovers. I cannot find any other reason for it.

Tall Paul scores again in a 1:0 win for Trab. And SAA provides an assist for Strasbourg’s first goal in a 3:2 defeat.

I prefer mine: Perhaps she remembers me.

Christ! Christ! Christ! 😉

Right, who shall we nominate to post or e-mail S-Clarke’s analysis to Dragan and the rest of the board? And Spors. I nominate MLG.

Do we know whether ours is on the profit? I, too, believe it usually is. I thought the guaranteed fee was £36m; and another £6m possible but not guaranteed. If the sell-on applies to the profit on the guaranteed fees only, the profit is £36m and we get 20% of that, your £6-7m. And the £6m and the £8m in my example do not get taken into account. But do we know or merely assume that is how it will work? Sorry to be a pain. I could say that I was asking for a friend who likes chewy sweets and apparently lives near the sea but he might not be interested in the answer.

Does anyone know exactly how our sell-on clause will work? Is it a %age on his future sale price or the profit from that price and what Everton paid? Are the adds-on taken into account? If so, how? What will we get if in future he gets sold for, say £72m plus an achievable £8m. (Assume we have already received the extra £6m from Everton.) The £8m will not have had a chance of being earned if we receive our sell-on at the point of Everton’s sale of him to another team. I genuinely do not know. Can anyone enlighten us, please? Thnx

Moussa Djenepo’s decline continues - he has just completed a free transfer from Standard Liege to Esteghlal, an Iranian team. Sad, really. I loved his attitude and occasional brilliance but we coached that out of him and he became Bambi on ice; at least the weather in Iran will melt the ice. Cue the modern version of the Egyptian Sand Dance (one for our older readers). https://getfootballnewsbene.com/former-southampton-winger-set-to-depart-standard-liege-for-the-second-time-with-iran-the-destination/

Just for interest, how much did we sell him for?
