Re: HGV shortage, I personally know two HGV drivers that have relatively recently changed career path and moved into tech roles (one friend of my parents', one recent joiner at my company). Both fed up of the lifestyle, though not sure if they would have stuck around with the big pay increases we've seen in the last couple of months. UK Gov: "Retrain in cyber... no, not you!"

Traore and Neves both on the bench for Wolves.

Only big decision to be made for me is who plays LB against Traore - Perraud or KWP? I would guess KWP will get the nod there.

Boris Johnson is many things, but "willing to admit to mistakes" is not one of them. No chance of a referendum with a Tory government.

I know, I have a number of friends that have done it including one who worked for TUI for two seasons. Unfortunately the vast majority of people that would apply for these sorts of jobs were too young to vote in the referendum!

Correction: Fraser would cost us fewer points than McCarthy would.

More like £50m+ surely, one of the highest rated goalkeepers in the league and English to boot.

Adam and Joe on the official Saints website.

I'd play Armstrong and Adams up top for this one, would be nice for them to get a couple of goals and the more time they spend playing together, the better. Valery RB and KWP LB?

7 straight wins, safe by Christmas, roll on Europa League football next season. ...or something like that.

I remember when KWP got sent off vs Palace last season - it was on BT so they got Walton on, saying "I can see why the ref's given that, correct decision" as Moss waddled over to the monitor, then when it got overturned he's saying "correct decision to overturn, excellent refereeing and use of VAR".

Excellent point.

"Brilliant save from Alex McCarthy" eh? He put it straight back into the danger area. Got away with one there.

Redmond gets another full 90 then.

Excellent tackle by Tino, cleaned Sterling right out.

Either he has a contract or he doesn't.

I'd like to apologise to Southampton for complaining about the slow kit releases, Newcastle have just revealed their third kit and we're 3 games into the new season.

Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison (linked with PSG if Mbappe goes), possibly Digne? Not much else though, they have spent horrifically.

Shame we didn't get Pompey in the draw, who did they get..?

Keeper should have saved all of Elyounoussi's goals...

Swear we only ever get away draws in the cups. Confirmation bias or fact..?

0-3 KWP. Good time for Solent to stop doing the commentary...

You can usually get Solent's coverage on the Southampton FC official website.
