Nope he starts for United in fact. Interesting line up- Valery had one poor game against Arsenal and was out the door. Lucky for Kayne that can't happen for him until the summer.

Can see Cavani scoring tonight too dunno what it is about these Ibra/Lukaku/Carroll/Haller/Jiminez type players but it feels like target men have it easy against us

Reported as being a £500k loan fee. That is a very good loan fee if true. I am excited to see Minamino play.

Yep echo others thoughts here- very happy about Minamino coming in but slightly concerned about depth at fullback - risky approach to go in without both Vokins and Valery- I just hope Will Ferry can step up if need be and similarly find someone in the academy for right back. How much money are we really saving? If I make up that each player is on 20k and times that by 16 weeks- thats £640k? (And that is still an overestimate. You’d wonder how much that makes in the grand scheme of things but I suppose it gives them the intangible benefit of valuable game time.

Come on Saints I need to wake up early tomorrow!!!

Yeah but we only spend whatever we receive and have done so for the last 5 years I have no idea how true this might be but we are bloody 19th in the net spend table. See link below: https://www.transferleague.co.uk/premier-league-last-five-seasons/transfer-league-tables/premier-league-table-last-five-seasons https://www.planetfootball.com/quick-reads/the-20-premier-league-clubs-ranked-by-net-spend-over-last-five-years/ Whatever links and sources you use we are always 17th to 19th. Is it too much to even have a net spend similar to some of the above? I don’t want to be misconstrued as someone who should be more grateful as yes, we could be languishing in L1, nor do I want to sound like someone who has no clue about football finances- but ultimately I’d like my football club to be far better than it can be whilst operating within sound limits

2 year contract on 30k a week for me max- he won't accept that and we shouldn't offer much more. However, the club might see it fit to sign him on for 2 years at 50k: £50k x 52 wks x 2 yrs = £5.2m Now how much would it cost to buy a Theo replacement? I wonder if the club regret Shane his extension especially at 50k a week - sometimes we should forget the sentiment though and start to be harsher especially when we can't afford to waste money

Yes I touched on this at some point yesterday too - I bet other clubs haven't closed their facilities either and I only hope Ralph was being dishonest about ours. If the facilities truly do need to be shut then it really is bizarre- when you consider how often the players and staff are getting tested then they are probably working in the safest environment out of all of us. It is very frustrating to have so many players out.

McCarthy Valery Stephens Bednarek Bertrand Armstrong Jankewitz JWP Redmond Adams Ings I would prefer to start Djenepo over Redmond btw- but at same time I feel like Djenepo’s best spells are when he comes off the bench and can run at tired legs- get him on from minute 45! Also unsure if Ings can play full 90- get N’lundulu on early on to avoid any further injuries. Shane Long couldn’t hit a cow’s arse with a banjo atm but we have no one else so he’ll have to make do as the 3rd sub. I actually think we could be competitive with that team, but with Dean officiating my prediction is Man Utd 1 Saints 0; courtesy of a Rashford penalty or something

Well we all heard Ralph hear we have no money and that he’d sign 10 players if he could. I get the feeling had we been 17th/18th we would have signed someone but being on 29pts and relatively safe the board are just happy to see the season out. I would like to think the above paragraph is stupid reasoning given each place in the PL is worth around £1.5m-£1.8m but I’m sure the accountants are doing cost-benefit analysis I’d love AMN or any experienced pro on loan whatever is available at this point- would lift the fans and potentially the squad and Ralph

Tonights definitely the most fuming I’ve been in a while I’m not sure I can think of worse decisions in years against us or for us since we have come up

Blood truly boiling

Honestly the way Dean was drawing the lines he had full power to fuck us over. What a twat his initial drawing has us onside and then he had to redraw them to fit the narrative

No Mike Dean needs to be sacked and we need to have a thorough inquest about tonight

Omfg lino go fuck off

91m 46s

Jankewitz on!

Nope not our night

I’d love a shithouse deflection or goal line scramble bundled in for us Please God

Why are we incapable of getting a ball in first time

Martinez there sounded like he got shot

I hope Ralph was lying when he says the cryotherapy rooms and other facilities are shut due to Covid protocols and that is the reason for muscle injuries. I bet other clubs are using their facilities all normal

Djenepo and Adams on for Redmond and Walcott please

Villa players are scumbags- our players need to be more in the refs faces also i am sure that was our throw

Right please JWP!
