Saint Billy

Another anti climax not worth the tissue.

God we have wasted some money on duds in the last few years.

Fair enough.

I take your point but it just smacks of England v Iceland before the Euros and Southgate played a second string side and then England looked a shambles come the important games despite the players knowing the system.

And your problem is?

Am I missing the bleeding obvious?. Why are we fielding a second string side in preparation for our first game in the prem with just one friendly left?.

Any chance of seeing highlights of saints endlessly passing the ball about and then losing possession.

We really haven't done well with signings from South America in the past. We haven't done much better with signings from Europe in the past apart from the odd one or two.

Ipswich have been out of the top tier for 22 years, no thanks.

Lallana?

Yep, we seem to have a mental block regarding keepers. I didn’t need to see the game tonight to work out that McCarthy is not fit for purpose. I can only hope that saints aren’t burying their heads in the sand regarding a keeper and will bring in someone of quality.

If fitness was the issue against Oxford god help us in the premiership.

Didn’t see the game but sounds like a big wake up call. Also no surprise that McCarthy is still a massive liability. Without a decent goalkeeper in the Premiership we will be easy pickings.

McCarthy's display against Montpellier makes it absolutely imperative to get a new number 1 GK.

If he does get game time I'll constantly be worried about him on the end of a heavy tackle. Once injury prone always injury prone.

Don't think the flying two legged tackle will wash these days.

A good start.

Some nice goals and assists in that lot.

Agreed. I suspect that his dismal performance for Scotland in the Euro’s has dampened interest. I’m surprised that saints are still open to him renewing his contract when he is a mediocre forward at best and obviously doesn’t want to be here.

Very funny!!

Ooooh Stripes, how exciting.

She's rather healthy

Are we sad watching this?

Mongolia on a pony.

How come this site is still working then?, answer that Mr smart ass.
