Suspicion

No hope left for today. The bowling is weak and if we're going to have serial failures from the batters it's possible that we'll not progress in this competition. We need to bat well because the opposition will score runs with our second XI outcast bowlers.

Will Dobbin's pay be bobbins? 🙂

Sesay played a lot at left back last season. (Typed knowledgeably, but first found out when @Over land and sea updated the contracts thread. 🙂)

Is it? Looks like something you'd buy from a market stall. stacked badges are naff. each to heir own.

I know! I got all excited to see if I'd made it today. 🙂 I just stopped at Talksport. That would be a "no" 🙂 (In fairness, their European football show was decent the last I heard it)

He can take advantage of those HS2 plans from 2012, that would deliver a high speed link between London and Manchester. That must have been finished a while back now.

Pre-season showed to me at least that he wasn't ready for first team football. Still and Tonda obviously thought the same.

Just a little bit of comparison from the past. Just after the end of WW2 Saints nearly got promoted twice from the old Second Division to the First Division. The older supporters (or more likely their fathers) will remember one season (1948/9?) when Saints were 8 points clear at the top at Easter (when there were only 2 points for a win) and they fell away after star striker ,Charlie Wayman, was injured in the 1-0 win at White Hart Lane in front of over 70,000 supporters. The Saints Board announced a profit of £20,000 for that season!! Mind you when I first started going to The Dell, the cost to get in was 1/-, equivalent of 5p in todays money. Johnny Haynes of Fulham was the first £100 a week player in the 1960's. Most players had to get a part time job outside the season as they were either on nil or restricted wages.

Surely he's letting the train take the strain?

Bollox. He was an assistant manager in this league for a while. Not knowing the rules is not an excuse.

plus, players demanding £20m transfer fees don't earn bobbins.

As the EFL is the only domestic league in the world to have a specific law prohibiting spying I believe Tonda did not know that law. Did he know it was wrong, well that's a difficult question to answer. Having a disguise doesn't prove he know it was wrong, just that the opposition wouldn't like it and would try to stop it if they knew who was doing it. Britain has spies and they are good guys. Foreigners who spy against us are bad guys. In business if you find out information about your competitors without actually breaking in to their premises your a good guy. It also seems that different cultures view things differently and in Germany it's just accepted as information gathering. So a bit like a professional foul Tonda probably knew it was a bit wrong, but it's what you do.

Gave them too many runs.

Robinson really doesn't seem to have benefited from Tonda - I really thought he was going to kick on last year and become a very important player for us. Obviously the injury didn't help, but maybe he doesn't fit into Tonda's system?

Throwing this away.

Robinson's with the squad in Germany. Sesay, yeah no idea what happened there. Thought he was going to be our midfield cover going into last season, but just completely disappeared after pre-season.

New calculator / glasses / blinkers for Delldays...

What has happened to Jay Robinson & Sesay?? Both disappeared of the face of the planet.

£7 delivery is taking the piss!

I found it!!! 7 quid delivery though. What a bunch of twats.

43% on the last poll 😜

Is that on the store? Can't find it. I don't buy stuff from Saints but that is lovely.

Astonishing how they can justify spending tax payers money on a weekly private jet to Manchester -before you even mention the laughable net zero targets.
