Such a shame we've gone to **** as there are European places up for grabs this season!

That Twitter masquerade by the Conservatives is shameful.

You say we are "massively worse". I'm not sure that's true. Last season under Ralph we lost to Cardiff twice and failed to beat Huddersfield at home. We also failed to beat Bournemouth at home and went out of the cup to Derby. We got a completely flukey three points against Spurs when we should have been buried by half time. I can't really recall a match where we have played well for 90 minutes for about three seasons. We were crap last year but Cardiff, Fulham and Huddersfield were crapper. The reality is that we have keepers no other team would want, centre backs no other team would want, thread-bare options at full-back, zero depth in centre midfield. I'm not sure if he's a good manager or just injected some energy and fight at the right time (like Hughes in the previous season). I am sure that our squad is a big problem though.

Yeah, Ralph is well hyped for the new season, there's a great plan in place and things are looking up.

What's pointless about it? It's worth it simply to have your say, if nothing else. You can quietly get mugged off if you like.

Back when I was at sixth form we used to get decent bands at the Guildhall. Saw Placebo, Supergrass, Foo Fighters, Terrorvision there. And Bush, which I apologize for.

Hi Paul, sorry you didn’t get it. Best of luck though!

No, it isn't "basic" discrimination, it's merit-based discrimination. It's because women take more career breaks, more time off and generally make different choices to men which often put them at a career disadvantage. If you can find me a company which systematically pays a man more than a woman for the same entry-level job I would be astonished.

They also support McDonalds workers striking for £15 an hour.

When they are mainland-based and their company has just been subject to a hostile takeover by the state and they weren’t allowed to take their own cash out of the country, I think it’s fair to assume there is a level of government scrutiny here. I doubt they were too chuffed about a pretty nondescript businessman with limited financial clout owning such a high-profile asset overseas.

Marxists don’t normally cede power with quite that level of lubrication.

That's harder to draw though, mush!

Well, no one knows anything about that company or its accounts.

I dunno, that report sounds a bit partisan to me.

The problem at DM is a lack of recovery ability and mobility. Oppo frequently get goal side in numbers. Not sure Stephens adds much in those areas. If we want to try someone there then Danso would make more sense but whether he’s good enough on the ball - who knows. I’d sooner have Harrison Reed then either of those.

I think we are missing Adams. He wasn’t scoring but he was getting chances and we were much better at keeping the ball in the opposition half. Play Ings begins Adams with two of Djenepo, Boufal and Redmond (I’d go for the former two at the moment).

Jesus wept.

Sold Targett leaving us with one left back. Loaned Lemina and Reed out (I'm sure we would have sold if we could) leaving us with two central midfielders (plus JWP and Armstrong (who is apparently a wing back now)). The whole thing is just weird and inept.

Indeed. And if it's too much of a ball-ache to get physical flags into the ground we can still bombard Saints Twitter with images of it. Every post swamped with Tibet flags and #GaoOut #Gaoingdown

How's he getting on at Villa? Probably would have started most games for us this season if we hadn't flogged him off.

The more you see that handball, the harder it is to understand how they didn't give it.

I can't believe their record is so good. They are so far behind City in quality.

Seriously, that looked offside but they didn't check?

That's offside
