Just invite them to come watch our training.

The media being all over this is no surprise. They want controversy, and they have little interest in talking about football. They gobble up shit like this. Players don’t care. This game is big enough as it is. Let’s do the job, and get back with a good result for the second leg!

I read that the wrong way at first, like you speaking to a wheelie bin, and now I can’t get the image of a man arguing with wheelie bin’s out of my head.

I agree, and that is partly why I think it will take until the end of the window, because he will be waiting for the best possible opportunity.

You should be his agent 😉

If this is the terms of the deal, that it will become permanent upon promotion (like THB), then this is great news indeed! My concern about the GK situation (Baz apart) is that I don't think we will be able to shift Ramsdale until the very end of the window/start of next season, and if we had to wait to sign Peretz until Ramsdale is off, then I think we would not be able to make that happen.

We were warned this would happen... 😉

Yep, can’t wait to get good ol’ shoehorn in there again. I guess they are still quite useful 😃

Hope we can find a little spring in our step for the playoffs. Momentum seems to slowly be winding down. We have gone from comfortable wins, on to going behind and winning at the end, to draws (and a loss if you count City). A lot of players might need a rest, but I also think it would be important for us to win the last game before the playoffs, to reverse the momentum a little.

Fuck, that had never crossed my mind... If Peretz get an injury or suspension, can Baz actually play for us in the playoffs? (where is MLG when you need him)

I think he is on a lot of shortlists around Europe. I don't think he stays too long if we don't go up. https://the72.co.uk/2026/04/23/southampton-stuttgart-eye-tonda-eckert-hoeness-exit/

Yeah, going up is so important now if we want to build on this team and momentum. Fail in the playoffs and we lose half our starting eleven, and probably Tonda as well... next season in the Championship will be another restart.

All the feel-good factor, hope and belief wiped out in one fell swoop. I still sleep with a nightlight, fearing this 🥺

It could be the other way around. Tonda strikes me as someone who has fokus on one thing at a time (preparing for the next game), and he is the one waiting to see what division we are in next season. He knows that even if we go up, or not, he will still be in demand (sorry about that)

His ability to read won’t have anything to do with it, it will be because of his ability to catch a ball…
