Thats more like it. Starting to click again..

Maybe I am a bit oversensitive, but I feel like there is something wrong with the tone of the article. Like its grudging and Quinn is seething with envy.

Hoping there's some left on Monday; its only a 4 hour drive for me.

Callum Davenport, though would rather not think of him as a Saints player at all

If you think thats bad, you just wait until we forget his birthday.....

Well, it was being said all along on here that going forwards only with Long, J-Rod and Austin, with the last two having permanent fitness issues, having not replaced Pelle and Mane, was a colossal risk. And so it is proving. We are one Austin knee-knock away from am major-sh*t crisis.

At f**king last. I wonder what Les and Puel see in training. You have to use the resources to hand in the best way possible.

Extremely worrying how the traditionally-viewed win-in-the-bank home games are being used up at an alaming rate..

Long off ??? FFS.

Got a bad feeling we are going to get another visitor goal in the 80+ minutes. Only hope this inspires Reed and Puel to change something.

Totally f**king toothless.

Wow, Dunc uses the opportunity for another pop at Tadic.

I would be grateful if the situation could be updated on here if there is any news. Will we be able to buy direct from Inter ?? I am thinking of driving down from Villach.

There are a lot of valid points made on this thread. This season DOES feel different, like a purple patch has just ended. I genuinely feel that the FA, PL, BBC, SKY and other media such as the Daily Mail have got together and decided that last season - Leicester winning the PL - was an aberration that must never happen again. The coverage has been ridiculous. I really feel like only 6 teams exist in English football. The refereeing decisions have been utterly bonkers. We've been a resourceful, well run club since administration, bucking the trend, but this season feels like a battle too far. Not helped by our board believing their own hype and trying to be too cute with transfers and the managerial position.

All this thread shows is that Jose is struggling with the system, IMO.

Could explain the underwhelming summer, though I guess any sort of take-over/link-up with Chinese investors is jepoardised or at least devalued if our league position degrades.

Yes, just like we have this summer.

1. Dont care, it wont be Saints 2. Dont care, it wont be Saints 3. Dont care, it wont be Saints 4. Dont care, it wont be Saints 5. Dont care, it wont be Saints Saints to finish 12th to 15th Relegated: Dont care, it wont be Saints (hopefully)

Underwhelming pish, first XI weakened.

Yep. Unbelievable naiivety on here sometimes... These extensions have made NO difference to squad stability. They just make sure the club has a bigger pot of cash to sit on at the end of next summer. And still our squad is demonstrably weaker now compare to this time last year.

Post of the Day. And thanks for so comprehensively blowing away MLGs PR bullshine...

What a totally underwhelming summer.

Yep.

Yep. We are in Europe and are apparently the fastest growing footballing brand in the world, but Stoke, Sunderland, Everton, etc. attract better players than us.

Yep. He'd reckon it would be fantastic if Uncle Les deposited a moist steaming turd on top of the Zany Zebra by the Bargate.
