So as long as Koeman and Poch can play mid, we have a team.

Nice, except with Gunn in goal would be lucky to get out the group stage, as will Scotland 😄.

Stewart, Livramento, Mane, Van Dijk, Sugawara, Caleta-Car, Koeman, Poch

Haiti v Scotland is like watching 2 champship teams. Should be 2-1. I thought Scotland would walk this easily.

Guess Stewart is also in the Scotland squad if he comes on and scores in the last 15 minutes as Larin did, it will be a huge co-incident.

Is there a full eleven of current and former Saints at the World Cup? Seen so far Larin, Adams, Gunn any others?

Well this is by far the best match so far. Shame it's so late.

Thought it was Andrew Ridgeley.

Really liked him as a player for us. Another one who left and never really hit the heights again

Great goal Vini Jr

Friendly

Great goal Morocco

Morocco 1 up and have looked the better side so far.

Yeah maybe you're right. I didn't mean it entirely seriously, I doubt anyone would. Still rankles though.

And who can forget Spurs wearing their new Hummel kit for the 1987 FA Cup final with 6 of them not containing the sponsors logo?! 😁

Ultimately though, I can understand in his circumstances that he wants to get the best possible contract at this key point of his career. He's 29 years old and has missed a fair chunk of his time to progress his career through injury. The end of his contract with us has coincided with his best period of fitness and scoring at Championship level in his career to date and he can't guarantee that will be the case in a year's time, he may be long term injured again. So I personally understand why he is trying to pursue the best possible deal while he can and wish him good luck. (We could have avoided this situation by activating the extension clause in the time frame allowed but didn't do that, possibly for good reasons due to the play off situation but that was our choice (or balls up) so fair play to him).

No, his contract expired. Saints did not exercise the option to extend in time, and his advisors advised he did not need to agree the extension. He has technically not been offered a new contract and so is a free agent. He hasn't turned anything down and he hasn't as far as we know got anything else lined up. How about we stop villifying the guy who gave us a lot in the last 6 months in league and especially cup and see what happens after Scotland exit the WC. None of us know exactly what is happening or has happened.

That’s not strictly true though is it? He used his lawyers to help him get out of it on a technicality and some of us have had a stomach full of that recently.

None other than Hassan Kachoul in the BBC studio!

Maybe not hurt... just embarrassed by Haiti instead.

If not being played in. Le Tissier's last goal at the Dell was in the next season's home kit. Helped it was our own brand though.

We do lag behind others when releasing shirts, I remember when they were paraded around the pitch during the last home game of the season before!

Agree with this, but the man 100% has premier league quality and the longer he stayed fit the better he looks. He could (if he stayed fit and oh stayed) have played a huge part in our promotion next season.

Quite. Cannot blame people for the curiosity though. How he could plummet in form so massively was just appalling. As for Alex McCarthy. His return to the team after Baz's injury in 2024 was critical to our promotion through the play-offs. He outlasted so many players in his position, can only respect that.

can someone confirm the times we believe the press. I for one do not think tuchel is that sloppy and he's fed them a shit sandwich.
