Thanks for the good times, Ralph.

Not listening but Blackmore is hardly an impartial interviewer. You only have to listen to the spiel he gave at the beginning of the fan forum to realise he loves Ralph and the Saints board and will take their side on most issues. Tbh I think it’s unprofessional, particularly as he works for the BBC.

Is it this coming summer that Ralph’s contract is up? Won’t cost us much to get rid if so.

Suspect the start of the Tory party conference next week might be part of the reason that weekend was chosen. It’s annoying, I’ve got match tickets for both and live in London, but I fully support the strikes.

What a sad little life!

Ralph was asked what he wants from him and said ‘goals’. You and us both, Ralph.

I think the fact that we didn’t go and splash the cash set aside for Gakpo on our second/third choice shows we will still only spend where we think is value, which is good. As such, I can’t see us paying over the odds for anyone, which is often the case in January.

He hasn't faced Bella-Kotchup yet 😎

Think I’ll trust Shields over a City fan tbh, especially for a player that I doubt many have actually seen play.

Was excellent today. He looks strong, fast, good on the ball and confident. Can’t fault him at all. Needs a little more composure at the end of his forward runs but that’ll come in time. Should have been MOTM in my opinion.

This, but swap Elyounoussi for Stu Armstrong, please. Does Moi start because he offers more defensive cover do we think? He certainly doesn't offer more going forward.

You’d imagine that pretty much anyone we loaned them from our first team squad would immediately become their best player. Maybe not Walcott, but anyone else.

We literally signed Lis 2 months ago on a 5 year contract?! 🤷‍♂️

There was a point when JWP was out and Diallo came in where everyone was saying we looked better with Romeu and Diallo and calling for him to keep his place when JWP was available again.

Conor Coady pushing to leave Wolves in search of first team football before the world cup. Shame he is too old for us to consider because he'd be perfect alongside Salisu and Kotchup in a back 3. Rumours are he might go on loan to Everton too.

Ok brill, thanks guys. I’ll get an account and try to set it up before the weekend.

Does anyone have any update on Saintsplayer ahead of the start of the new season? I can see their website is still down. I did receive an email about them setting up a Telegram account to communicate but I haven’t got an account. I’m hoping their service will still be up and running as it was brilliant last season.

Anyone managed to get a stream working on mobile?

If we're comparing to Saints: A manager whose substitutions serve to have a positive impact on the team?

Isn’t our new coach a defensive specialist?

How many other players have we had that have scored in a European final? Keegan?

I don’t think you can really count Lazio as an ‘elite’ club, as shit as Hoedt was. Ings could be added to the success list though.

You’d hope that playing for Man City’s Youth teams would mean he has to be pretty decent with his feet. There’s a small example of him pinging some passes in some of his highlight videos.

Damn, what are going to use as our excuse when we lose now? Usually we at least have the ‘they’re further into their preseason’ line.

Is he any good with his feet?
