East Kent Saint

Also air conditioned stadia because it was going to be in the summer !

The change in owners from Hall who sold the club and walked away with all the money and Ashley who didn’t have much interest in the club , failed to invest , then hit the jackpot with the Saudis has made the main difference. Howe , as we know , has been a rising star , future England manager and even potential Saints saviour in the past . His stock fell after all that but revived at B mouth until it crashed and burned where he had to walk away from football to recover . Back on the crest of a wave at Newcastle , despite the caretaker manager tag when he was appointed !

Gakpo’s list of clubs he wants to go to doesn’t include Leeds or Saints !

That was Glen Hoddle’s assessment 😄 !

I remember Luton from the 60s , climbed all the way up from Div4 to Div 1 ! I seem to also remember them sliding all the way down again.

Top managers wouldn’t come to Saints as they couldn’t buy top quality (very expensive) players . Until someone comes along with a massive investment (very unlikely) we will remain a small budget club.

Similar to being a Saints fan , despite all evidence to the contrary we keep faith that we will win 😄

More likely to chop HS2 at Brum !

Like many players that do well at one team he isn't for another ie Saints . Blackburn's system and the role he was given worked for them both judging by his goals there , our system plus Prem defenders aren't working well for him here.

The Tories knew which is why they couldn't risk letting the party members loose again !

Son and Kane isolated up front apparently , sounds familiar ……

Even Vardy and Willian have scored today so get in Theo !

With 2 Ings goals , one a penalty .

He didn't chose Saints and Man U stuck their oar in , Leeds was muted as his choice over Saints but it looks like he wasn't convinced a move was right for him and probably neither was his club.

Remember all the flak DeGea had when he started at Man U ?

First start as well !

Contrasting comments re JWP on here , he got worst player rating on BBC match summary , does he need a break or a bit of therapy ?

BBC live prem says re saints match in second half “nothing to report “😄

JRod with 2 for revitalised Burnley , Gallagher with one for Blackburn’s away win plus WBA away win , new manager bounce !!!

You are obviously all in the 'Anti Ralph turning Saints into a top 6 club coalition' WE MARCH ON ! IN RALPH WE TRUST @adamblackmore

Make it at top level that only captains can question Ref , all other players to stay 10 yds away on pain of yellow or sin bin . Ref to be miked up to explain decision to crowd /coaches as per American football .

BTW Broja scored a good first goal for Chelsea , coming off the shoulder of the defender then precision into the far corner .

Wrong thread

I only saw the match on Motd but he did make 3 saves and I don’t think he can be at fault for the goals , it would have to be a very good keeper to stop any of them. On the analysis it showed him taking the ball from Haalands foot with Haaland at speed running into the box . Better than Gunn .
