I really thought we were gonna have some bollocks about ourselves and keep Matty. IMO intention is clear that the Rudoni/Azaz/Spertysan deal was to replace MF and never in addition to him. Yes there’s still time in the window but as it stands I’m really disappointed with the window so far. Here’s hoping we go and blow £50m on a couple of players.

Agree with the Stewart and Archer notion for Watford. Downs is much more than a work in progress.... just work at the moment.

For those old enough, Red Dwarf and the 'backwards' episode is all I could think of every time I heard Mat-ski.

On reflection, that's a rather poorly tailored suit for an Italian.

Yeah fair enough.. decent win. When the fuck did we sign 'Matski' and 'Cisse'?

Can only imagine how pasty his t-shirt tan line is though.

Struggling to get on board with D.Downs so far. Pretends to press, gets within half a yard of the Norwich ball carrier and instead of interfering or rushing the player - just stops which allows the ball carrier to step out with the ball or pass forwards unopposed. You're 6ft4, impose yourself. Hopefully his first goal will set him on the way.

Watched him for QPR vs Pomp last season. Got completely bullied by Colby Bishop.

This isn't the place to air your political views.

Fun fact, I worked with Dan Grimshaw on two occasions (served some half volleys at him) when he was a nipper. He was very highly rated..... Not very good is he.

I'd love to see if WS would be setting up different or changing quicker if his brothers were in his staff. I guess we'll never know.

Guilty.

Bloody hell, Wood and Edwards both fighting it out for The 'Alan Bennett Defensive Masterclass Award'. Absolutely stinking the place out.

What scenario would you be most happy with? Scenario 1: Keep Matty and Edozie, Sign Rak-Sakyi and a CM (not a 10). Scenario 2: Sell Matty and Edozie, Sign Rak-Sakyi, sign Tom Fellows and Fin Azaz. Scenario 3: Sell Matty, Keep Edozie, sign Azaz, Tom Fellows and a striker. Scenario 4: Sell Matty, Sell Edozie and sign Dele Alli, Jonathan Forte, Tommy Forecast and reappoint Eric Black.

I think you’re missing my point… Our forwards are wank at the moment, so I would take slightly less shite than what we have at the moment.

I’d take Bamford or Ings over everything we have at the moment.

Make no mistake, Stoke fully deserve to win that. But that was appalling, on par with Russ Ball.

How the hell do I listen to it on my phone? Radio Solent via BBC Sounds app not allowed to air games?

Disappointed with JQ performance but I'm adamant there's a player in there. Going early with this prediction but Jay Robinson or the kid at WBA to be EFL Young Player of The Season.

I’m basing this gut feeling on a questionable coffee and breakfast roll… Saints to win 2/3-0 and to look mustard.

The 91 in that video looks handy. (edit just signed for Anderlecht)

Do not underestimate that save from Gav and the recovery from Jack (wasn’t sure if it was him or Ronnie). There’s a mistake or two in Quarshie but he’s gonna be a fan favourite. Big fan of not returning the ball back to Wrexham, who by the way are utter dross without Kieffer Moore.

You would’ve thought but didn’t come across like that.

Wonder if Parsons nose is put out that JS has come in and taken some of the football responsibilities away from him. Spot on summary of Parsons of Wayman, exactly how he came across.

Slight side track… there’s some controversy on Twitter/X about a big lad in the black third shirt and being allowed into the stadium/forum. Club being called out by a handful of keyboard warriors. Any ideas what that’s all about?
