But we did go out and buy a first choice striker, unfortunately he was absolute pony.

For me jury is still out on larin as well, we know he’s a good physical presence but whether he can be a high scoring clinical striker is still a big question

I think he is improving. I caught a little bit of the Canada Iceland game and the bit where he was substituted. The commentator mentioned that he'd had poor service in the game but was looking sharper/fitter (?) than last time he appeared.

You don’t have to pick sides, it’s not a fucking football match. Both governments are a shit-stain on humanity, I feel sorry for the good people who live in either country.

Anyone fancy a prediction for the coming season? Always love this time of year! Here's mine - Hants Final Championship position - 5th. Hoping for a stronger showing than last year, especially with the younger lads having more experience. Still no where near strong enough for a title shout though. 20/20 - Finals Day. Just because we are normally so strong in this comp. Think Semis will be our limit though. Metro Cup - Semis again. We might not have the strongest first team now, but i think we will have after the Hundred exodus. Leading run scorer - Going for Gubbins. Unconvinced by Lehmann if i am honest. Hoping to see a good season from one of Albert or Prest too. Leading bowling - Abbott. Every year i think we will see him struggle due to age and over reliance. Every year he just reminds me how lucky we are to have him. Young gun/surprise player - Ben Mayes. Has something about him and seems very consistent. If picked early in the season, could be a challenger for leading run scorer.

You waited 6 hours to post the punchline (that you quite clearly already had) to your strange joke that nobody played along with anyway? What a weirdo.

That's what I said earlier in the thread - players like that are basically Haaland, and they are unusual now.

Left BT TV/internet last week having been a customer for about 15 years. Phoned them to see if I could get a better deal but they weren't interested in the slightest so switched to Sky. Almost from the minute the switch was confirmed I have been getting calls from their retentions team about 4-5 times a day. They never leave a message but the one time I picked up to tell them to sod off, the line cut immediately. If they couldn't be arsed to keep me as a customer and then made me go through the hassle of switching, I'm not sure what makes them think I'm going to waste hours of my life switching back again.

Being a shit DJ?

Nothing confirmed, but I'd guess it'll be the usual.

What’s Scott Mills been up to?

If there any doubts at all, then no need to risk him - if he needs a bit longer for Wrexham or even Derby then so be it.

Assume this was at the open training session that fans could attend at St Mary's today, in which case hopefully someone on here can confirm it didn't look too bad? Seems a bit risky holding a session like that publicly, no doubt Arteta was there in disguise watching

Looks like Jack couldn’t see the wood for the trees.

Clacton Lite. (Too subtle?)

I feel like if he even plays half of the minutes from those 8+ games, we’re doing well out of him. Such a shame that he can’t be relied on and he can’t ever get a proper run of games to play himself into form. The other worry is we’re very reliant on Larin staying fit, he’ll need to chip in with a lot of minutes too.

Hopefully this turns out to be true - From Echo - A short training session for #SaintsFC players at St Mary's this morning, with today being their first day back after a break. Leo Scienza is expected to rejoin first team training later this week ahead of Saturday's FA Cup QF against Arsenal.

Straight up is better. Straight down is worse. Straight backward is … well, let’s just say, the least desirable option.

He's certainly got the "tit" part down.

Groin strain - never straight forward.

It's a hard life being a champion of...whatever she's a champion of. I only know of her through SOG's posts. 🙂

Companies who cold call you and then ask you to confirm your details.

Wood is a crafty sod. Almost guaranteed a start against the Gunners now.

I hear he's afraid of facing Manning….
