No Ross Stewart in the Swansea squad. I wonder if they will regret giving him a 3 year contract.

I suspect the man from Del Monte has an answer on this.

Armstrong relegated to being Jimenez's understudy after his move to be Wolves' main man in the Championship. Came on to replace Jimenez after 73 minutes with Wolves 3-1 up.

Given his scoring rate at Saints that should be about 9 games until his next goal.

Shea Charles just scored the winner for NI against Georgia.

Gavin Bazunu apparently refusing to play for Ireland against Israel. Fair play to him for sticking to his principles 👍

[Pamplemousse]

I wish he'd done the same with us

He did.  I have it on good authority he refused to play in any Southampton Vs Israel games during his whole time with us.

Ings scores for Wycombe in the last minute of normal time to earn a point for his new club.  He might be old and slow but he can still score.

I'd have had him back as a '70 min sub' option... But obviously "past it" and "too injury prone" according to the Saintsweb intelligentsia...

I believe him not being in the team was at the request of the defence. 🙂

You did. You refused to play for us. And it showed. Worst ever goalkeeper, not just for us, but worst ever Premier League and Championship ‘goalkeeper’. Had you played in the under 10’s Tyro league you would have been the worst there too.
