Exactly this. End of the day, SR wanted both Fernandes and dibling out of the club over the summer - and they managed it for a good return. But even if dibling had really wanted to stay, I suspect it would have been an Archie Gray type situation at Leeds where he would basically have been told he was going regardless behind the scenes, whilst in parallel the club make all the right noises to maximise the sale price.

We’ll soon see, but my money is on Peretz being no better than Baz, even as flawed as he is. SR don’t do squad building and strengthening - they do squad diluting and weakening…it’s in their DNA to break things.

Noisy bugger.

Not at £120 a ticket, no.

I heard Rudi Skacel is coming

It will indeed be a confirmation of what we are already thinking. The people who made excuses for Baz will continue making excuses for him, and the people who didn't rate him, will still not rate him.

Saints have a crisis and that's even before any injuries

You will see a decent defence becomes a shit defence and a shit defence becomes a very decent one.

I heard the weather had joined Labour. The tides come in...change their minds, and U-turn back out.

I just watched my Scottish team Hearts beat St Mirren playing with 10-men vs 11 from the 15th minute. They won 2-0. Played with spirit and courage. Played as a team. Had enormous energy. Fought for every ball. Ended up with 7 shots on target vs 2 from their opponents. The second time in four days they've won playing with 10 men. So the opposite of the spineless, gutless, structureless, leaderless, second-to-every-ball, where's my paycheck mentality of this current Saints team it's unbelievable. A joy to watch and a reminder of just how low I've sunk my expectations from Saints. So not interested anymore. Until the next game of course. Sad old addict 😳

Will be interesting to see how Baz does with a decent defence in front of him and how Peretz will perform with a shit defence in front of him. The good thing is we will very soon have a confirmation of what we we think

I've listened to enough radio 4, to be able to read Dave's posts as poetry. Finishing with things like "dusts of time" adds real gravitas to them. More please!

Jermaine Wright, star player from our glorious 2006/07 season where promotion was cruelly snatched from us

Obviously not.

They're clearing out Iranian airspace of civilian traffic, that's usually a good indication that something's about to go down.

Better than Downs and now fitter than Stewart. This sounds like a major improvement.

Based on a latest poll?

I’d take him even if he was missing a foot and in a wheelchair.

In the 50s and early 60s I lived in Dovercourt, near Harwich, about 100 yards from the beach. Whenever there was a storm I used to love hiding behind the low wall that separated the promenade from the marine parade and watch as the waves splashed up and got blown right across the road. Great fun.

I was hoping for Dan Seabourne

Still better than Downs. Progress, SR style. 🙂
