FFS! Teasing me with hope.

Anyone who stays here is always going to have limitations but I think we can do better than JS and JB in the squad. Lovren and Fonte were about our level.

Anyone else watching the IPL?

I can’t say I’ve ever seen him as anything other than mediocre at this level. Plenty of mistakes and lapses of concentration in him. Same for Stephens really.

We’ve signed four players. Two are starting, one is on the bench and the other is injured.

What’s ridiculous about it? He’s missed 5 games, what exactly are you suggesting we should have done differently?

When has that ever worked?

I don’t think they were ever really out of bed, just agents having a good night in the sauce.

I’d love it if every media outlet in the civilised world published that cartoon on the front page and made a stand against censorship through intimidation.

How’s Pickford stayed on the pitch for that?!

Clearly Ralph thinks Stephens and Vest are the better options right now. To ensure there are no injuries likely to cause long term issues and prevent him from ever playing for us. I’m no doctor or physio but I’d imagine things like serious ligament damage, vision issues and heart murmurs are all checked for. Not sure what you mean about Ings.

Going by the training gallery, he has been back for several weeks now and is apparently training hard to achieve match fitness. I think it’s as much a selection choice at the moment, whilst he learns our system to Ralph’s satisfaction.

Would you not have signed Van Dijk if he’d been injured for 3 months at Celtic?

Second minute of injury time, wasn't it?

Not really comparable, you can spend your whole life in a crowded pub and have 0% chance of catching AIDS. TBH nothing the government does is going to help all that much as we have too many people who are too stubborn and or stupid to do as they're told.

I think the fact that you're referring back to half a game 18 months ago probably gives you the answer. I believe that game was also before that dreadful first half at Newcastle, following which Sims came off at h/t.

He’s out of contract next summer anyway. You may consider my gob to be smacked if he gets another from Saints.

People at the gym gobbling and clearing their nasal passages in the showers. I don’t mean just having a quick spit, I mean the guys who sound like Concorde taking off, with full afterburners. The guy in the cubical next to me today sounded like he had Ebola, I half expected a coughed up lung to go drifting along the drain at the bottom.

There seems to be little of interest in this discussion, simply a chance to be upset at other posters about things they’re not upset about.

Every result so far has been the opposite of last season, so a certain defeat here. I suppose the main question is whether the three new boys will feature. Sweepstake ‘Taters mention the 9-0 - 1 min 14 seconds Romeu booked - 61st minute

I’ve got SS 60% for the F1 and about 20% each for football and cricket. If I’m not actually there in the stadium, I sometimes enjoy the none Saints games more than our own.

I haven’t seen that photo shoot, I was referring to Lucy.

I think we’re scraping the barrel a bit when our celebrity fans include a woman who was on page 3 about 15 years ago. We need some new celebrity fans.

Halve those prices and we’ll talk.

Yes Danny!
