Saint-Armstrong

@LaurieWhitwell: #wba in advanced talks to sign Zenit St Peterburg striker Salomon Rondon for a club-record fee of around £15m. More at @MailSport

Luke Shaw doing a transfer of his own. Some MUFC fan went out and committed the cardinal sin of getting a shirt printed before the numbers came out. Shaw then moved from 3 to 23. The fan tweeted a photo of his shirt (not to Shaw) - he saw it, and private messaged him to replace it. They teach them well at Saints.

Oh, why not...

Unfortunately, I'm not exactly sure a copy and paste job on Wikipedia would go down well, if I publish it as an article on SaintsWeb. As I'm sure you understand. So, as I said, a 'quick' run-down.

Quick run-down on Midtjylland - the team, the club, the ground and the history - now here: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/content.php?639-EUROPA-LEAGUE-Saints-drawn-against-Danish-champions-FC-Midtjylland

First two messages I received after the draw... From a radio presenter in Sunderland: Paolo Di Canio's Sunderland beat them in last pre season friendly of his tenure. They were mid season too. You'll be ok! From a Danish fan: Good draw for you guys. FCM had a great season last year, but no real european experience. Boring city though.

The Danish champions. Owned by the Brentford owner, Matthew Benham, and use the same 'moneyball' philosophy.

Off to Denmark! At home first, which suits us I think.

Wouldn't be hugely surprised if Malmo stick them out. Either way, after this round I reckon Virgil will be on the move.

It'd be nice to get Thun. We played them in pre-season before our L1 promotion season (and lost 4-2) and it'd mean a game in Switzerland.

@SVVitesse: Hope you had a good time in Arnhem,have a safe trip home. Best of luck in the next EL round. #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC

Erwin Koeman on Ronald: "He knows he has some problems with his Achilles & if you are involved in training sessions then **** can happen"

Erwin doing all the post-match media. Looks like Ronald might need surgery tomorrow (in Holland) that'll lay him up in hospital for an achilles tear/snap. In which case, good luck to Erwin for his game(s) in charge of Saints.

Erwin is going to be in charge on Sunday. Ronald is having surgery in the Netherlands tomorrow and will have to stay in hospital for around a week.

You just knew it was coming.

Surely it's perfectly normal for a fan based in Norway to want us to play over there...

Seeded. Minsk just eliminated Zürich to wrap it up, by my reckoning.

A goal at the very start from Pellè and then one at the very end for Mané. Saints through, and comfortable. Into tomorrow's draw for the final qualifying round. Go...!

‘HOW YOU CAN CONTINUE THAT PLAY? ****ING HELL’

Here we go… Jay Rodriguez preparing to make his competitive return.
