So a long trip to Istanbul for them then three days before our game. Excellent.

We were quite high up in the net spend table for this season I thought? Some teams like Burnley and Newcastle aren't doing much at all.

I'd say the one thing we have over Brighton is an airport. Yes, there is Gatwick, but is it close enough? What are the FIFA regulations regarding the infrastructure of host cities?

Classic SaintsWeb

The fact Targett is playing suggests any move to Fulham is far away. We'd be mad to sell him really.

Meltdown averted?

What's the score?

Isn't Les Reed quite friendly with the chaps at the FA? Clearly, geographically we're the best fit but the whole of the South East will probably be sacrificed and London will get a second stadium instead. Or Milton ****ing Keynes

I hope Westwood washed his hands before he shoved his fingers down some poor skate's mouth

Celta Vigo are advertising a live stream on their YouTube channel so I imagine Saints will do the same. Boufal is out injured for them apparently

The Saints Are Coming is fine IMO. The Skids also did 'Into the Valley' which I believe Charlton use as their intro music

Pope out for the season, so I guess they'll sign him on loan? Useful deal really, although I reckon Joe Hart would be a better option. Maybe FF comes cheaper though

Yeh, those top half finishes with Stoke were really dreadful... Had they not sacked him, they would have stayed up.

He's been pretty poor for Man Utd in all honesty.

I'd rather have Gabbiadini up front than Austin

SKD has posted some ITK snippets as well from time to time, he's the only one off the top of my head who hasn't been mentioned yet. There's another guy too, I think he was Kenyan? The name eludes me...

Klopp is overrated for sure. Spent a load of money too, I do wonder how long before the fans get restless.

I went to a Ligue 2 match once. Comfortably the worst game of football I have ever been to.

Grow up

Defence is the problem.

I watch a fair bit of MLS and the standard of defending is utterly dreadful. Teams tend to concentrate on signing good quality attacking players but neglect the defensive side of the game. It can be quite entertaining to watch though, end to end stuff and rarely are there 0-0 scorelines. .

Makes the Carrillo and Boufal signings seem fairly reasonable...

To look at it from the other way around, Forster looked good when we had a solid back four... It's the defence, specifically the centre backs, that are the issue.

Why is Bednarek back but Cedric isn't? Bednarek played in the Poland game on the 28th June, Portugal's last match was on the 30th and Cedric didn't play! Too busy posing for topless photos on instagram...

Leganes predictions? Relegated, Carrillo to score 0 goals.
