Glad Martin has called a few out. He's done it in a professional and driven manner, too. The idea that some of these so called professional footballers cannot follow tactical instructions says it all. Fucking ship them out.

Oops

Passing back with the intention of drawing out opposing players whom otherwise would be packed tight in an 11-man-sitting-deep tactic. We can then try to pass through them and into the spaces created. Surely this is in no way 'meaningless' passing? Surely very purposeful?

A win away from home?

He won't be a legend if he leaves, a word too easily used.

The famous Brexit Party MEP. A particularly fitting role. Shame he didn't swing from the Itchen Bridge.

A tricky one for Prowsey. I reckon hed only really want to leave for a club the size of Tottenham or above, but West Ham offer both PL and Europe, so although they don't fully tickle his fancy, they are attractive for his career in many ways. The only thing holding him to us in his mind will be the fact we are and have always been his playing club, and that we may well be back in the PL next year. As others have said, he's worth £40m in today's market, surely? Tinpot Hammers wanting discounted rates for prime talent. Laughable.

Wholeheartedly agree. I mean, what the actual fuck were they thinking? It's a fucking schoolboy-playing-FM error that reeks of contrived attempts to 'think outside the box'. As you rightly say, a GK is one position where you really do need to think inside the box with your scouting. That one game Bazunu had against Ipswich when playing for Portsmouth (in League One, for crying out loud) was enough of a clue of his ineptitude. We can't afford to piss about with him in goal.

What is severely concerning is that people at the club seem to rate him. I hope I'm wrong but the lack of any rumours or gossip about looking for a new #1 suggests we're sticking. A fucking terrible situation. You simply cannot be successful with a keeper that is as effective as a chocolate teapot.

Clattenburg was a complete cock. What was it that he said to Lallana whilst he was playing for us during a PL game? It says a lot then that Dean is a bigger wanker than Clattenburg could ever be. Both utter shit as referees.

Always hard to tell from pre-season. Didn't Aribo score a cracking goal in pre-season last year? Look how he turned out. Some of our players are known entities, we know they will be good enough (Alcaraz) or will still be prone to being fairly regularly shite (Lyanco).

Leeds bigger than us, Burnley and Sheff Utd. Burnley and Sheff Utd in the league above... what a couple that would be if they're interested.

Mugs getting twisted over a kit. What next? People getting pissed off at a marching band playing OWTS? Traditional?

Lord knows why people are dying for a 'simple' striped red and white. Surely we all know our kits over time haven't always been the 'simple red and white stripes'? Be fucking boring if it were red and white stripes every year. Really like this year's home kit design. Plus, it does have red and white stripes! It is 'traditional' in the sense that our kits have traditionally been quite diverse! We're essentially just reliving some retro kits with the last two years' home kits. I'm certainly not complaining! Reckon this home kit will sell well. I'll certainly buy one.

This is the issue, isn't it? The perpetual search for the next Thomas Frank. Rasmus won't stop until he finds him. All the while St Mary's burns around him...

Oh really? Interesting he's off after his best season for them.

But Arsenal have Xhaka and Partey, right?

How did Inter not score there!?!? 🤪

I don't think our bunch of losers know what a winning habit is!

He'll stay with us. If we don't get promoted on the first attempt, I'd imagine he'd then agitate to leave.

Apologies, didn't realise he was so young! Absolutely right, let's give him some more time on loan.

Hangers on like Nlundulu, Small and Vokins need to be offloaded. I'd like to keep Adams and Armstrong, but offload Onuachu. I'd not be fussed if all of them left, really. Saddened by James leaving, but as with Lavia and a few others, it was bleeding obvious they would if we dropped.

Clive Woodward been on the phone recommending him, maybe?
