I wonder if a player called 'fit' was out there? 'Saints are hoping fit is fit on Sunday?' I do recall this classic in cricket when we heard the saying 'The bowlers Holding the batsmans Willey.?'

Hoping for the PDF version as I've been stuck in hospital for 3 days :/

Love how ruthless Puel was for taking off Hesketh, he was having a stinker in the first 32 minutes.

Please don't as they will put him in as centre back.

Certainly was knackered around the 40 minute mark. When the first sub board came up I swear Austin waved his finger as he wanted to come off. He then walked over to the bench and had a word. Did anyone else see it like that?

Such mixed comments in this thread and those criticising Yoshida are puzzling. Penalty incident was pathetic. Only once did a player dribble around a Sparta player. (Gone are the old fashion wingers we used to have. VVD is a fantastic player. When will Austin learn to stay onside? Long needs to be that last man and not stick on the flanks so much. Martina over Soares any day. Some dirty tackles tonight including the one on Martina and JWP. Atmosphere good first half. I thought Puel could of freshened it up on the 60 minute mark where we started to lose control of the game. Who's that supporter in the Northam who walks around like he owns the place. Wears a basketball shirt. Love our European shirt if only it never had the bra.

Text me on 07871875254 andI will duet Paynent. Cheers

I will take them m8.

Good managers drive teams to a higher level, shame we let some of our good ones leave too easily.

I have no idea what the ref was thinking but they will get away with it yet again. Better performance and I hope the players keep believing as confidence is a major destroyer. + Romeu was excellent. + Tadic needs smarter players around him, Boufal will love him. + Diamond system is running smoother. - Long is so out of touch. - Virgil's worse game for us. - Too many panic tackles at the back as our midfield don't protect the back four enough.

When or if we do crack this diamond formation then teams are going to find it hard to play against us. They certainly won't be copying it for a long time.

Who do you reckon was the slowest?

The fastest Saints player ever? I would go either Rodney Wallace or Neil Ruddock?

I expect we are still owed money by so many clubs. Take Liverpool for example, they purchased Lallana for X amount. They pay a down payment of 12m and will pay the rest over 3 years. I expect Manchester United owe us a fair amount too for Shaw and Spider.

All those memories come floating back for me too.

Need to start looking for players now for January as it normally takes 5 months to wrap a deal up.

Profit profit profit profit profit

Mane was that person for us and I fear that Puel wants Redmond to be that person too. Problem with Redmond is he is a winger and not someone who puts his foot through the ball like a striker does.

I really don't blame Fonte these last few weeks. He has seen so many players leave for much bigger wages and he has stayed to keep things together for us. This season we have yet another new manager and I'm beginning to think Fonte should of been allowed to leave as a final cameo to win more trophies.

It would be interesting to see how long it took Puel to have Lille up and running.

Very childish.

Is this suppose to be funny?

Quality player. Fear he will be gone at the end of this season as the big poachers will dangle a carrot for Reed to bite.

It's sad that the start of the season your caption wants out. Sort out quickly and move on.

Certainly see us going for a 5'10 fast left sided midfielder that can put the ball in the back of the net. Don't need a target man with this system as Austin can be that route one striker like Pelle was.
