Haaland’s alright.

Surprised they didn’t recommend calling up Gareth Gates.

Up it to 64 and just have the top 2 from each group qualify. Most of the additional teams (Europe, South America and Africa would get a decent chunk) would on paper be better than Cape Verde so unlikely to dilute the competition heavily.

Southampton are keen for ‘no compromise and for the Northern bastards to pay up or move on’. @journalistsaintsfeedstoriesto

Again, help me because I’m not getting it from the thread. What I’ve seen is your understanding is players born in England could have played for England which means players born black could play for Ghana?

So what was your point? Given your football intelligence means you’d know Mane and Bella-Kotchap wouldn’t be playing for Ghana. I genuinely might have missed something so please help me understand.

Naming three black former Saints players. 1 of the 3 eligible for Ghana and asking if they were going to be playing for Ghana tonight. Your posts show a decent understanding of football so it’d be unusual to not realise Bella-Kotchap and Mane weren’t eligible to play for them tonight. So is the joke that they’re black so might be playing for an African team or are you making another point/joke?

Is it funny because they’re black?

Now the second most famous goal scored by a Curacaoan(?).

Buzzing for Dick’s boys.

Don’t mind the Scotland hype. It’s like if Saints got to the Champions League and beat Qarabag in our first game. We’d be euphoric even if we then went on to lose the remaining games.

We had the power to trigger a pre agreed one year extension. Ross had no additional input in if we chose to trigger it or not.

You’re right I’ve not seen the contract but that’d be a bizarre clause that we’re unable to trigger an extension that, aside from unprecedented and unforeseen circumstances, we’re guaranteed to be able to trigger. Second point of me being one of the first to moan… based on absolutely nothing, odd assumption to make given I’d said he’d be 2nd/3rd choice in the Premier League. Think he’s got the ability but wouldn’t want to be overly reliant on him.

‘We really don’t think you’re good enough to be a Premier League striker which is why we didn’t renew your contract before now but any chance you could sign up for another year and help get us there?’ Think we’ve poorly managed the situation and think he’d have been good enough as a 2nd/3rd choice striker in the Premier League so shouldn’t have left it too late to renew.
