I hadn't seen that before. Judging by the fact the club let Ballard go, no one at the club has seen it either. FFS.

Everton vs Man Utd seems fairly low on quality too. Feels like a distinctly damp start to the season for many teams.

Keep Stephens away from the team, tell Scienza to stop fucking falling over and run at his man, get Jander fit. Easy win ...

I started watching this and had to stop it. PTSD from his time here, but also, he is REALLY FUCKING irritating.

THB not even on the bench for Villa. Weird.

Yeah players can't be doing that, rise above it.

There's a few, I'd jump at a 39 year old Vardy still!

Mubama still benefit of doubt as he got fuck all service. Edozie is like a worse version of Fabrice Fernandes running round in circles and did Dobbin touch the ball apart from the soft shot? Sigh.

Can't argue with any of this. It's been mostly trash so far. Still want to see what this team looks like with Jander back in the side and I want to see Scienza take his man on more and not fall over constantly.

Is the Saints match on fking Sky or not?? All I can see is them talking about Blackburn, on every Sky Sports channel, even Sky+ which is supposed to be Lincoln vs Saints?

Doesn't look like it was discussed until the day before. Feel sorry for THB, he presumably was looking forward to a CL campaign, or at least being a part of it. Football, financial fair play, all of it, it sucks.

If already posted sorry, but did anyone see AMN ended up at Everton???? 😐 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ainsley_Maitland-Niles

Agreed - he has a swagger, I'm sure he'll come good. I would start him and Dobbin against Lincoln tbh.

TBH there are more on this list I'd rather have coming off the bench right now - https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/spieler/vertragslosespieler/statistik/1/plus//galerie/0?ausrichtung=Sturm&spielerposition_id=alle&land_id=alle&altersklasse=&wettbewerb_id=alle&seit=alle&yt0=show I just HOPE that he's still getting up to speed and will put in some more composed performances in matches to come. Right now, he's all over the place, possibly trying too hard!?

A very "Championship" match. In the end a point is a good one away to a decent side, but we do still need a couple of players in this team. Jander will be like a new signing though I guess.

Good luck Taylor - hope it works out!

Is he one of the players we picked up from Chelsea and signed up? Obviously not worked out for him at Saints, good luck up north Abdul!

I think that's a fair enough statement - he wants to play, he's only got a year left, he barely figures, we should just let him go. I presume the 50% number is the starting point and most settle on 20% or similar. But get it done Saints.

I didn't hear that, or notice it ... sad if anyone did, so I agree with you, don't do that.

Not to mention the complete inability to get a shot on target!

Villa look awful going forwards too. They need a serious overhaul up front.

If we get promoted, we should build the team around him. I'm not joking (or drunk).

Quotas.

Sad to see THB leave Saints, I hope it works out for him
