Good man, seems to have his heart in a great place re apologising to fans for last season (didn't need to) and promising to do better this year. Hope he gets his chance and takes it

Losing Cork would be a massive blow, we'd have to find someone free or on loan to replace him for sure.

Fair point, and seems likely, but definitely a massive risk considering the calibre of opposition in our league. Hope to see them prove themselves, though.

Seems strange to let Puncheon and Mayuka go and not look to bring anyone else in. A few key injuries and we could drop from a top-ten team to fighting for survival again!

Sounds a laugh, brah.

Well... this is going to be my first festival, but my friends who were going (the only reason I agreed to go) have cancelled. I don't want to not go, but I'm also worried about going on my own. No one else is able to come on such short notice... any advice?

Couldn't see a topic on it... Tommy Forecast has signed a deal with Conference South club Chelmsford City. What a drop!

Very reasonable. Been tipping Chelsea to win the title since Fergie left United and Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge, and always said 10th-12th was about right for us. Don't think all three promoted teams will go down, though.

Big fan of Matej Vydra, after supporting Watford through the Championship last season. Think he could develop into a fantastic player if he came here.

Big shoes to fill!

That was my initial thought as well, was a bit of a fright!

This is going on my Macbook, laptop, phone, PS3, work computer...

Thank you for saving us, Markus. We will never forget what you did for our club. HMLD (new acronym?)

Saints?

Stephens did sign a new deal recently, so there's no reason why he can't get a chance this season... although Turnbull will have something to say about it. Personally I think they both deserve a chance, ideally together as they've played so often together. Other than that, the rest of our youthies unfortunately aren't quite at the desired standard for Saints, although they should be Premier League standard.

It sounds like we're pretty likely to score Wanyama, although I'm not sure about anyone else.

Really enjoyed MP's first English 'interview' at the awards last season, so looking forward to him shutting all the naysayers up and progressing with his management of our club. Nice to see that the translator actually cares about the club, too. Hope there is an announcement though.

Yeah, what I've seen of Omar Rowe so far looks good; maybe not quite Premier League quality, but worth a shot.

All this talk about Cardiff though does remind us that it's not so bad... at least we're not completely changing to a polar opposite colour kit.

Mlt.

It's good other than the big V, I just don't think it fits on a football shirt well.

Pretty lazy journalism taking our poll and not doing anything themselves.

Stripes on the shoulders.

Why is it that kit manufacturers are now just using simple templates to make their football shirts -- is there no specific approach to each club's shirt at all? I know the answer is obviously because it's cheaper to use mass-produced and mass-rolled out templates, but... it's just a shame.

One for the future, looking forward to see if he makes the step up this season.
