Saint Fan CaM

It’s quite possible you missed that I was being a tad facetious in my question, hence the winky. 😂

If the ground capacity is 32500 (for example) does that mean they’ve sold more than 31500 ST’s? I find that hard to believe, but if it’s true then it’s little wonder that a stadium expansion is being talked about! 😉

Meh

Byeee…

Those were the days when we cared about some of the players. Now…not so much.

Sulemana and Onuachu are a good start. Now let’s hope the next two are ABK and Manning.

I’m reminded of our first Championship game of two seasons ago against newly promoted Sheffield Weds. We trounced them because they’d not worked out how to control us and our game. Roll on to the home game and it was a different affair. Wrexham will not be a naive pushover - if our players are as mentally weak as we’ve seen previously we’ll lose this type of game no question.

Can we have the date of the fixture in the title please Mods?

Tell you what, if Guinness Zero is served that’ll be fantastic!

I’m taking this list as those who have played for Saints at some point, had some affinity to the club and had really careers whether before, during or after. With that criteria most of this list I’d have to agree with, although I’d make the following changes (not observing a particular order)… 1. Shearer was hardly here for 2 minutes and has never particularly recalled his time with us with any fondness. Would sub in Beattie. 2. Fonte was instrumental in our rise through the leagues under Markus’ watch, however in terms of pure class I’d have to chose ‘Killer’. 3. Not sure I’d agree on Bates/Franny, although they’ve clearly got a piece of Saints history around them. I’d actually reserve this spot for a future star - for example, despite his teammates putting in a poor shift, Fernandes was a shining star last season and in my view will have a stellar career injuries permitting. It would be awesome if that journey had a bit more longevity at Saints.

Just read a click bait type article off Facebook that he’s getting miffed with Saints holding up a transfer deal (Galatasaray?) because we’re holding out for a high fee. Yeah right.

I win - got the opening game correct, although I did say away. To be fair it’s a great opener, but only if we win of course and that’s nowhere near a definite.

The more I think about it, the more I realise that anything like a mass clear out is unlikely this summer. The out of contract players was a given. Beyond that, it’s difficult to see where deals are going to be done. Sulemana seems to be attracting some attention and Tall Paul has the usual tyre kickers sniffing around. Nothing but newsrag stories around Dibling. Nothing whatsoever (thankfully) as far as I’ve seen on Fernandes (pleeease stay).

I think Sugawara is better than some make out. There were some dubious decisions given against him thanks to VAR bollox and he could do well in a ‘forward looking’ system.

I think his admirers go back a long way to before his return to Saints - even Klopp reportedly gushed that he acted more like an assistant coach than player. I think he’ll act as a very good ‘bridge’ between Still and the players, plus I reckon he’s had very good prior exposure to the style of play Still expects.
