Fucking shite. League Cup preferential treatment of the big clubs is a farcical joke.

I think 'garbage' is an exaggeration

Let's face it, we're not a club that top players will think, yeah, I'll kick up a fuss to join them. More likely is that a player won't be arsed if we enquire, and will happily sit tight if we have bids rejected in the hope a bigger club will come calling.

Armel and Will seem the closest to leaving. We definitely need some quality in midfield. Surely the management can see that.

Fucking depressing

I've said it before, he has crisp packet hands and wrists. He frequently dives late. It's almost comical, like he's been instructed to do so to take the piss out of us. Even after the ball has passed him, he dives. I swear the bloke must be some sort of Portsmouth spy sent to fuck us over. Has he cast some sort of spell on the people in charge? If they were lazy, all they would have to do is look at the raw data about his shot-stopping ability. Terrible.

I mean, more often than not relegated teams have to sell their best players, right? We were always going to lose the likes of KWP, Fernandes and Dibling. Surely it is agreed that to get in a replacement of better or equal quality would be fucking tough for a relegated club?

Am I wrong for expecting squad quality to reduce after being relegated? I thought that would be a guarantee and would be expected? Please help me with this one. I only ask because it seems to be a common gripe that our squad has gotten worse?

Fucking nice stadium, that.

Didn't you say during the dying weeks of last season that you feared our 12-point embarrassment of a season in and of itself would see us take years to get back to the Premier League?

I mean, I think 4 or 5 at the back, with our squad as it is, changes nothing. Our players are still weak-willed and just a bit airy-fairy. This is the team that collected 12 points last season. Despite a few additions, we are still presented with most of the dross that was served up on the teamsheet reveals last season. Guts and guile are lacking. So is tenacity and speed (both literally and of thought). We need some additions to stand a chance of automatic promotion.

Ooh, tell me more!

Decent fee. Good sell on if he reaches his potential. Can't really feel anything about this. Quite emotionless, as 'young Saints star being sold to bigger club' stories go. He didnt really do much for us in a first team sense. See you later!

Not quite how I see things, but I'll leave you to that animosity.

Galitsky is almost acting as if he is Spertsyan's dad or something. Can you imagine Solak doing this with Dibling? Coastal would fucking implode!

So Sports Republic playing the 'Krasnodar' game will pay off? Who'd have thought it!?

I agree, Middlesbrough a similar ilk of club to us, so surely a bit of a sideways move. That is unless, of course, we pay him more wages?

Top of the table? Stop the count! But in all seriousness, their confidence is misplaced. They've not come up against a decent team yet and will be quaking in their boots when eye-to-eye with our lads. 3-1 to Saints

Ultimately it all rests on our attack. Currently I feel we miss creativity in generating final third opportunities. We also miss a danger man up front. It all feels a bit toothless at the moment. If nothing changes, either through our current lot changing things or through the transfer window, I don't consider us to be contenders for the automatic slots.

That team we had played some incredible football and ultimately had two things - a ruthless attack and belief.

Take the point. Decent but also a bit disjointed and toothless at times. Squad still getting used to Still and playing again after the summer break.

There must be a reason!

Most of you are watching a different game to me. I thought we were decent.

Armstrong through the middle again 😰

Proper shite draw, that.
