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

They said it was for Liverpool so it was OK.

Clear handball by Liverpool. VAR with a two goal swing.

Jisheng Goa.

At the moment, we are the new Portsmouth. Heading for financial ruin and relegation under "unconventional" (being polite) ownership.

I'm happy with someone not pumping money in if they can show me: a) they give a flying duck about the team b) their motives are sound and in-line with sporting success c) they have some sort of plan or competence.

And buy a pair of socks on the way out, you weird little ****.

I still can’t believe we offloaded Reed and Lemina without adding anyone in CM. Complete negligence.

Let’s get some facts straight about loans too. As I recall, she converted about 30m of debt to equity. The loans she offered the club were to refinance the ones Cortese took out at eye watering interest rates. So she put her own money at risk to save the club money.

Whether true or not, I cut her slack because she never wanted to be the owner. I’m sure she’s prefer for her dad to still be alive and for her to be living anonymously like she used to. Contrast with Gao, who has gone out of his way to buy a club for selfish reasons without the first clue what he’s doing. He should be the target, not her.

Impossible to say because the linesman would have probably flagged two of the goals that were chalked off, were it not for VAR.

I don’t think that’s true. I think she cares. I think she suddenly, unexpectedly became a public figure in sad circumstances and was a bit overwhelmed. Which is fair enough. Unfortunately she has been suckered with whatever crap the Gaos told her. It’s sad.

that’s not the point. Sometimes you just have to stand up for something.

Can someone please make a pic of Winne the Pooh saying, "Gao must go!"?
