Badger

Agreed. It was a good finish, and a nice through ball to him. Hope this is a sign of things to come and not to be filed in the archives with the Ramirez v Villa, and Mara v Leeds moment.

Remind us all again how many goals Archer scored in 40 games in case anyone has missed it. BBD too. Unfortunately very few people seem to share your optimism.

Has there ever been such a thing ?

If that happens then both Spors and Still lose some credibility in my book.

Most past their Best Before dates. Turds that simply won’t flush

Ridiculous thing is that we all knew that at the end of the season if not before. Accept the ‘difficult to get rid’ argument but it seems the club have embraced the turds back into the fold. Recruitment seems disappointing so far, although perhaps limited by outgoings.

No surprise

Not necessarily. It shows he previously managed to score 18 goals in 40 games. Let’s revisit this at the end of the season. (I seem to remember similar claims of past performance for both Holgate and Maitland-Niles being made. Apparently both had a good game once).

Shocking waste of money. Again. Out of his depth last season, admittedly in a piss poor team, but not expecting too much from him this season.

Sounds as if he should be sponsored by Anusol.

Weren’t we linked with one of their players, a RB ? Don’t recognise any names there. Perhaps he goes under a different shirt name, or he’s picked up one of those mysterious ‘knocks’ that you get before a transfer. Or perhaps he’s shit, and left out of their squad.

Agree. Fraser and AA.. well, maybe, although don’t see Fraser as a starter this season (hoping), then you get to the Sheffield Utd dream team. Two players I hoped we’d not see again in a Saints shirt. Both closely following Bazunu out of the door this summer.

Wasn’t it a reference to Gao ? Then someone - possibly MLG *- took the whole thread off on a tangent. *Was going to say as only he can, but as proven on this thread others are also capable of that achievement.

As someone who was in the 2022 German World Cup squad you’d hope that with another one next year he’d want to be in the shop window again making an impression for the outside (and at the moment extremely unlikely) prospect of a recall. Where better than the Bundesliga for that ? Have to wonder if that ambition outweighs the relatively easy life sitting on his arse not playing for another year with us, but in a higher £ for the next 12 months.

Benthelegend. Perhaps living up to his name with that often quoted line.

Can’t see him and Downs needed. One will be Goztepe bound

Just seen the contracts thread, ends 2026. Get rid with a decent sell on % in case he starts living up to the potential we hoped he had.

Can’t see anyone paying that with his record over the last few years. Perhaps’rising to ‘ . How long has he left of his contract ? At this rate he’ll slink away at the end of it and we’ll get nothing for him.

Joe Jordan

I got the impression that he was one we’d go for had Rohl come in. I doubt we were still after him as he doesn’t seem to fit the priorities set out by Solak. Probably on the ‘after we’ve shipped out some of the other useless cunts’ list of possibles.

Something he had a track record of that season, almost a trademark. Gloucester Saint has already mentioned Ipswich away. Exhibit two: Watford away.

Why have they brought “Wrighty” out of retirement?

From the little I’ve seen surprised Kelly didn’t start.

We all know how being the better side but it’s pegged at 0-0 ends up. Hope they do it, but my years of Saints paranoia doesn’t bode well at the moment.

And another £10 for having a ginger gimp chairman or celebrity fan, whatever he is.
