Did anyone read it yesterday? A very positive piece on The Saints if a more IT savvy person can access it

Selina Scott did a piece about him on the Sunday Times Not a nice man by her account and a bit of a sexual predator.

Rupert says that 'If a deal is not good enough, you walk away' What happened with the Tommy Forepast, Augustin Delgado deals then?

So only people with loud voices will be allowed into female toilets??🤣

Only 3 in the history of the USA!!!

Lets bring goal machine Carillo back🥴

Worry to me is that Bournemouth started very well last season, looking forward to European qualification etc, then suffered a number of injuries and this contributed to their relegation,

Salisu, another Augustin Delgado?

If my memory serves me correctly Newcastle was the last home game we played at SMS in front of our raucous support. Djneppo got sent off and McCarthy saved a penalty only for Valery to have an aberration near the end which prevented us from hanging on for a creditable 0-0 draw.

Another very decent performance from Vestegaard. Good header and one fantastic goal saving block. It seems the new hairstyle is playing dividends. Difficult to know where the enigmatic Salisu will fit in (if ever fit!!)

Thought he was 8.5 possibly 9/10 today

So no chance of increasing stadium capacity then???????

What are relegation odds?

Ralph to Man Utd (we get a load of cash as Ralph has a long term contract) we get Poch back or have a crack at another Germanic Manager. However prefer to keep Ralph. As an aside I could see JWP back here as a Manager in 10 years time.

Didnt he get a yellow for a foul on Bednerak?

Agree. He seems to have pace and a physical presence. Just a tad concerned about his full on tacking style which could end up with free kicks/penalties or a host of cards a la Romeu.

Talking about feeder clubs, I have always thought that a link up with Le Havre might do us some good. Twin cities (or at least used to be) and Le Havre have never been much above French Second Division but have produced some decent players through their ranks over the years.

Some suggestion that Josh is on £17/£18k a week ie almost £1m per annum. Wonder what Doncaster are contributing? His first game at Pompey tomorrow?

They were. However the Pompey News report seems to indicate that 70-90 'known Saints hooligans arriving by train' were the catalyst for the disorder.

I wasn't particularly inspired by the signing but I reckon he should provide more overall benefit to the team that the 'mercurial' talents of Boufal. I have to say that if Theo can perform as well on the pitch as he did in the Saints FC interview (in which he came over as a pleasant, intelligent and well spoken individual) I think we might have a diamond, but only time will tell.

Me too. The only game I recollect seeing him on the field was WBA away.

Current Squad? 1. McCarthy..........Forster,,,,,,,Gunn? 2. Walker Peters...Valery 3. Bertrand............Voakes 4. Romeu...............Diallo 5. Bedernak..........Stephens 6. Vestergaard......Salisu 7. Armstong.........Long 8. Adams..............Walcott 9. Ings...................Obefemi 10.Ward Prowse...Smallbone 11. Redmond........Djenepo Arguably stronger than last year but possibly a bit light at Left Back. Attacking Midfield and possibly striker. Would also like to see some more height in the side and left footed players but beggars can't be choosers!!

Important to beat the weaker teams which was our strong point last year. Shame we didnt get a result at Palace but two wins ve Burnley & WBA v important.

I went to Wembley in 1976 with Duncan Kirk!!

There is some suggestion that this winter could be one of the worst in recent times. As someone who lived through the winter of 1963 when the fixture congestion was very significant, I wonder how another very cold and snowy winter could affect an already Covid threatened season. Of course pitches are generally in better shape these days but extended snow and frost in Jan/Feb/March would surely affect any return of spectators to stadia. Let's hope the long range forecast is not correct as continued snowy weather could really adversely affect the finances of a lot of clubs. Possibly a fixture congestion may be beneficial to us as we will probably have only League games to worry about. Btw, Saints had a great run in the FA Cup in 1963, reaching the semi finals as a Second Division club.
