Wow the commentators just mentioned it- are they reading this thread? i think he just called me a conspiracist.

Also can I just say But we havent won our last 14 games on a Monday Clearly there is something in it- do we historically get our preparation wrong? EDIT: yep last time we won on Monday in PL was December 2002.

So why doesn’t that penalty get retaken because the penalty taker clearly stuttered and stopped? Bullshit inconsistency in the Prem what a joker

Give him a pay as you play contract ps Fully expecting an MLG comment about how these could these contracts don’t exist or occur anymore

They do receive priority- just some more than others 😉 I always had the feeling that taking out a season ticket now was in essence giving the club an interest free loan.

This isn’t worrying me just yet personally, we wont ever sell in January- VVD was an exception to that. I think in the end Saints will cave in and offer him 100k- there was article on the Athletic the other day which said teams cave in when they realise how much it costs to find a replacement.

Isn’t he also our second if not third most expensive centreback? I think it’s fair enough that that everyone is wondering where he is because like I was quite excited about him. I don’t really want to know what issues he has or doesn’t have but I would like a time frame- I think that would be useful- when can we expect to see him play for the U23s or even make the bench?

Jan Bednarek signs a new contract until 2025! Great news and he is an established Polish international now

Perhaps the U23 game the other evening is proof as to why Tella/N'lundulu didn't come on? I didn't watch the Brighton U23 game of course so correct me if I am wrong, but if they couldn't manage to score against that defence then would they really stand a chance against Utd on Sunday? Ralph of course sees Shane day in day out. As a club, and given how tight our finances are, could we have done better than Shane Long in the transfer market i.e. find a loan player on £50k a week who is better than him? I personally would have liked the club to have taken a gamble; to release him and look for someone else in the loan market; but I know there was a bit of sentiment in the contract as he was settled down south and really wanted to stay here. For me, whether it was a mistake or not to give him a new contract purely depends on how much he is on per week. At £20k I would have been fine, at £50k a week I am not so sure, and particularly for 2 years because he isn't giving us the output.

Why is it the bigger clubs have players who can play 90 minutes at the weekend and also 90 minutes mid-week plus with all that travelling? Towards the end we looked like a team that had played a European game mid-week. 9 players that played today for Man Utd also started mid week. Do bigger teams just have better technical and fitter players? Why can’t we and other non top 6 clubs have those levels of fitness when we don’t need to travel/play tough fixtures

I’d like to know what the expected goals stat is- if I had to make a prediction I’d say something like that should’ve been 4-1 to Utd. We didn’t deserve to win, but we squandered a 2-0 lead and that is why it hurts more. I mean it is all well and good that Ralph watches the B team but do Tella/Obafemi really just make up the numbers? Stu, Theo, Che were all flagging so hard at the end that I’d have put one of them on.

Game over

Oh no 3-2

I just want to throw Tella or Obafemi on because the forwards look tired

We need Redmond, Ings back asap or our options off the bench just aren’t good enough

Shit it is 2-2

I’d say it’s been a long time problem for us- I always seem to recall players like Haller, Ibra, Kane (though Kane causes problems for everyone!), Andy Carroll, Lukaku All target men type players historically who score against us! Now Cavani has changed it for them

Wow Cavani’s header was fairly close. His ‘roar’ afterwards though was weird EDIT: Shane Long coming on

Urghh 2-1

Mccarthy again what a save!

See this half out. I reckon Ole’s half time talk will be ‘target JWP, get him sent off’

Sorry trousers, just watching at home. Streams are always around 30 seconds to a minute behind terrestrial (which I think are near live if not live)

YESSS 2-0!

JWP free kick now would be beautiful

Alex mccarthy jesus well done on that recovery
