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!

I think we can literally have a day off from this nonsense.

That’s a very specific thing to be regularly hearing from football fans on a train. I can’t say I’ve ever heard anything like that mentioned, even when playing Spurs. I’m sure we have our fair share of kn*bbers but from what I’ve seen we’re nowhere near the scummiest fans in the country.

As of right now I don’t really see much need to bring anyone in, although given that we tried to sign Williams on loan, we may go for another FB. If Theo does play up front we might see Long loaned out until next summer but probably not.

I’m going with a slightly vague 10th-15th. I can’t see us being troubled by Fulham, WBA, Burnley or the Blades this season (in the table at least) but so many other teams, including Saints, are something of an enigma.

It’s probably for the best, given the latest topic in there.

To me, whatever people claim to believe is irrelevant. Abuse is abuse. Be it 14 year old Muslim girls forced to marry men double their age, choir boys being molested by Catholic priests or the latest C of E cover up, the religious aspect of it changes nothing for me. Anyway I’ll pop back in just before I go to bed, so I can lock this when it invariably goes to rat shit. Have fun guys.

He always has, even when he was 16. Looks like we've found a suitable replacement for Hojbjerg already.

I can’t see 90% of that happening, even as a worst case scenario, and the stuff which is plausible wouldn’t really bother me. Rom will be 30 and not really suited to Ralph’s style even if he has started the season quite well. Bertrand will be 32 and we’ve definitely seen his best years. If he chooses to leave, I won’t lose any sleep either. We can cope with Moi, Lemina and Hoedt, even if none of their loans do become permanent, or for some reason we’re unable to loan them out again. It’s having 7 or 8 unwanted players on big contracts which was the problem. I really don’t see why any of those three CBS would refuse to sign an extension. None of them are world beaters about to cash in at Man City.

For me that's the big positive. If we need to dip into the market in January, we aren't shackled by an obese wage bill of players who aren't even playing for the club. This squad finished 11th and had KWP been there from the start, last season's farce with a different defence and formation every 45 minutes may not have transpired. We may well have been a place or two higher. With everyone fit, our bench contains Forster, Valery, Stephens (probably), Romeu, Djenepo, Walcott and Obafemi. That still leaves Gunn, Vest and Long not even making the matchday XI and they were regular starters at the beginning of last season.

I remember a couple of years ago posters who watched the academy games were raving about him. Just goes to show that it’s a big step up, I guess.

I think you can add Austin and Clasie to the wages saved this transfer window, we’d have been paying a percentage on both right up until June this year.

Well, I’m a bit underwhelmed by his last three seasons and injury record but he’s here now and I’m sure he’ll give 100% for us. Welcome Theo, knock ‘em dead!

Well, that’s either him or Kevin Bacon.

I agree, it’s up front or nowhere IMO. Seems rather extravagant having him and Long in the squad, I’m guessing our interest in Theo is fairly recent.
