Well all know how devastating Redmond, sorry Henry, is against City...

Didn’t we draw 0-0 with West Ham last season too?

A clean sheet!!! Pleased with that, we appear to have a bit of spunk about us at the moment.

I've got the hardback and will launch into it in the near future. I'm keen to know more about his approach to completing his fitness challenges as much as reading about his Saints career.

To be fair, that picture sort of transcends events since it happened. That's Ings' legacy right there so be thankful that it happened 🙂

We can only hope and pray for a last-minute Danso-esque signing!

Could do both a la Cantona!

Dodged a bullet there. Pretty pissed overall but at least my night isn’t ruined.

3 points up for grabs here guys!

Surely a time to put Broja on and mix it up?

Feeling unhealthily optimistic today!

I hear you. Put it this way though, this is a much better scenario than we've faced in recent years. Look how much we lost on 'The Unsellables'!

The buyback could be £10m and it would still be a good news story for us. We've got a highly capable player that will make us better for at least one season. We can then let him go for a massive profit. I know not everyone likes our way of doing things, but our work this summer is putting us back on the map as one of THE best destinations for emerging talent.

I’d eight to be a Newport fan right now!

Wouldn’t it be a delightful twist if we bagged a 9-0 tonight 😊

I'm just hopeful that Thierry Small isn't the next Nathan Redmond 🙃

Well I’m very happy to see my 0-3 prediction proved wrong. A morale boosting result for our fans!

I’m just going for being outclassed throughout. Would love to be proved wrong but going for 0-3.

I seem to recall Alisson let 7 in before Liverpool signed him (I think against them). Turned out alright I think 🤔

I guess that depends how many we ship at the other end? If we had a half descent defence then they might be sufficient IMO.

Just watched the highlights, was raging when I saw that goal. All that good work in the first half thrown away in a moment of madness. Typical us in recent times really.

Calm down guys, save some of your rage for next Saturday.

Yup, that was a good win. There was also the 1-0 win away to West Brom when Rickie Lambert got a last minute penalty the same week he scored that winner against Scotland. Those are the only 2 opening day wins this century as the one before was our 1-0 against Coventry in 1999 (when Egil scored).

Yup, we are truly dreadful on opening day. Sad that after 30 years of supporting Saints I can easily tell you what our 3 wins were, who scored and what the weather was like. FFS!

LLWLD WDWLD LDLDL DLLWD LDDLD DLLDL WLWLD DDDLL... ...our opening day record over the last 40 years. Imagine if that was over a season in a 21 team league, I make that we’d have 34 points. Crazy (and not in a good way)!
