Well I completely missed that, cheers! Good to see him back in training though I wonder if he'll stay or not.

Perraud too. Though not heard much about him since his injury at the end lf last season.

This reminded me of a film I watched years ago with Ray Winstone called All in the Game. It's about a dodgy agent who gets into money troubles, and if I remember he managed to convince a young star player to move clubs for a huge fee so he could get a big payday. The player wasn't keen but went along with it. Something like that. I always wondered just how much influence an agent has over a player or even parents of them.

Time for Rooney then surely?

So Vieira would have done a better job if he always had a full squad to choose from and didn't get any tough games? Could say that for any manager. Would he have got them back on track had he stayed on? Who knows but his replacement certainly did so Palace made the right decision in the end to sack him. I'm not confident of the next appointment to be honest.

All of them I hope.

It's like we're playing a top 6 team here, not a relegation rival. Worrying. Let's see what these subs can do.

Yeah but he did a good talk yesterday right? That's the important bit.

I knew it was a bit premature to be reaching for the box of tissues because of one presser.

Agreed with you until the brexit comment. Makes you as bad as him imo.

Hopeful of a surprise big name like when Koeman was appointed. So Thomas Tuchel then 🤣

Exciting signing. Hope he can hit the ground running and take his chances. I wonder if he remembers playing against us?

A rare big win for us at the time so had to buy the video. I didn't care it was vs Swindon. The pennant got damp a few years after getting it sadly. Still, a lot of the signatures can still be made out.

Like Koeman and Pochettino?

Yeah how stupid of me..

I can't believe workers for farms are being flown in from Europe. Borders should be closed. How many are bringing the virus with them? Utter stupidity.

Still? Our borders are still open.

Flawed indeed. How anyone could put Boufal in the same leage as Le Tissier is beyond me. Not even close to having the same ability on the ball.

Examples?

What a top guy. No one would ever think to donate a whopping 1% of their salary to charity, no wonder he felt the need to big himself up on social media.

The Man City game where he gave their fans the two fingers? Or are you talking about a different game?

Refs gonna give them a soft pen later to make up for it. We need to score one now at least.

So it seems this could have and should have been avoided. A heavy price to pay. Sad for everyone involved.

When we signed him and he went on that run which was right off the back of a similar run he left Napoli on I thought we had struck gold. Especially with Austin out injured at the time. Then he just stopped scoring, and I hoped he wouldn't revert to his career upto this point and maybe turn into a Beattie where's he had a few barren run's before scoring loads in a row again. Didn't really happen. He has ability, though finishing isn't great but to me seems like someone that sees football as a well paid job and not a hobby. He doesn't seem to have a passion for it to drive himself to the top. I think managers see this as all of them drop him after a while, even in his brief international call ups. Saying all that, our team since his arrival has been poor and, like all of our forwards, has had really, really terrible service, especially from fullbacks who none of them can come close to the offensive play of Shaw or Clyne for eg. Ah I wish we could put out a best saints team since the return to the prem. Title winning for sure!
