I do love the fact you don't mention his game management in getting us 4-0 up 😂

Can't believe they haven't played this yet. Ridiculous that they have a final the season after. Half the squad that got the team's there are probably playing for other teams now. What happens to new signing? Are they cuptied if they played for a different team in the competition last year?

Romeu was great today but great performances all around. Should have had a peno as well for the trip on Bertrand

Yeah he definitely would have been great today as well. I also think he could and would have adapted to the right manager and worked well in a high press team

Disagree with Gunn. I’m sure he’d be happier playing first team football for a championship club rather than sat on our bench, and will hopefully come back a better player

I’d support the reduction to 18 teams and extra money for efl, but not the rest. Definitely not having the say for just 9 teams, of which 7 will likely be fixed anyway

Obviously we don’t have details but I would imagine part of what you pay will go to broadcasters like Sky & BT. This will disproportionately affect fans of teams like saints who aren’t on tv as much though... I won’t be paying regardless...

😂 - like the analogy but each time you take a holiday you know you could take the next one in Cornwall as it's entirely your choice. There was no guarantee that Saints would ever want to sign Walcott again when he signed for Everton.

Is he?? If he was so passionate about us why didn't he choose us over Everton two years ago? I'm happy to have him here but am more than a little cynical that's it's much to do with love for the club. He's shown that if he gets a higher wage elsewhere he'd take that over us. I don't blame him for that, but it flies in the face of emotion and passion

Best of luck to him! Good to end this chapter from Saints perspective

Pretty poorly I would think. Jwp has never been effective in more forward positions, and redmond isn’t a striker

Almost certainly. £11m seems extortionate, but when you think Barkley is probably on £6-7m a year it seems the going rate for a proven prem player

Arguably as bad a call as that guy who wanted Scotland to call up Antti Niemi... at least he picked a top keeper

We've got three not great keepers. That's the reality of it. All three are capable of having a great game, but those are generally few and far between. McCarthy probably is the most consistent of the three, but after cm this is arguably the position we need to strengthen the most in our side.

Radio 2 is targeted at the over 35's. That's why it's full of DJs who were popular in the 90's early 00s, and plays music that would've been on Radio One at that time. I'm not trying to be rude, but I'm guessing you pre-date that era and that's why you aren't a fan of how it's changed in recent years. Other stations are supposed to appeal in its stead, but guessing that isn't the case I suspect the BBC will have to scrap the TV License at some point - for me it's a shame, but if too many people don't feel it provides value for money then it's the only fair option. Certainly parts of it are going downhill, its journalism especially. I believe it's still the most neutral news outlet out there, as it seems to get as many complaints from both Labour & Tory supporters

I like long, but Adams has been far more effective at linking play than long ever was. He just needs a bit more composure in front of goal and he’ll be a 10 goal a season guy and a big asset to us. I think he’ll come good On that front

Been a while since this has been bumped 😎

Latest that season I guess

Even if Lazio don't but him it's a good league to generate some interest in him. He came from to us Italy very highly regarded so hopefully he shows that kind of form and tricks another club into thinking he's worth a punt!

My last post on the subject but you missed my reference completely... you assumed I was “offended” when I wasn’t at all so I assumed you “felt big” in response. As to your second point, yes of course I look at how people dress and behave and think “what a knob”, but I don’t feel the need to sneer at them just because they’re different

No. Did posting the picture make you "feel big"?

Because I dislike people being sneered at because of how they choose to dress...

Why do any of you care what he wears off the pitch??

Sorry but that's a ridiculous comparison. If Kevin Keegan was on the 1980s equivalent of £600k a week there is no way we would have signed him....

I don't think anybodies saying we would be better off without Ralph, but he has shown himself a few times to be remarkably stubborn in changing his approach. Last year we started horribly playing 4-2-2-2 without the players ready for it, this year we have been stung in both games by playing a higher line than our defenders can handle. We have gifted the opposition three points when really I think we were worth 4 from the first two games. If we play this high again next game serious questions need to be asked. It shouldn't take a thrashing each season before Ralph changes things up
