She reckons the ref was pro Saints ? Not how I saw it 😌

I didn't see the game last night (watched short highlights) but am aware of the pattern which is emerging! Man City play out from the back therefore some managers including ours, think that they can emulate Guardiola and achieve success! There is a huge difference though in the quality of players at his disposal and ours! Touch, control, pass, move, precision & vision are essential to this system and if you either don't have it or can't maintain it then you will concede easy, sloppy goals. At least half of the last 10 have resulted from suicidal misplaced passes in our own half and it is clear that we do not have the attributes for this! Given this knowledge something has to change☺️! Blandly announcing that we have to be 'brave' is not acceptable, we need to utilise this group of players in a way better suited to their abilities, if we do this then there is no reason why we shouldn't push onwards and upwards.... PS. if Aribo is the answer then we must be asking the wrong questions 😵!

Sorry to hear this Whitey and I wish both you and her my best wishes ! This is much more important than a silly football match… All the best, Eurosaint

We spent more on Tall paul and still got rid of him !! EDIT : Sorry, someone beat me to it....

Duckhunter is correct about the lino flagging after the corner is given which overrules the original decision but a bigger concern for me is that a player can get injured in that phase of play which would not otherwise happen ! Lavia got injured v Chelsea early last season and was out for about 6 weeks ! Had the game been stopped for a clear offside he'd have been ok (there have been other incidents too) !

Piss up afterwards takes a lot longer than the actual golf but I guess you knew that anyway 😎

That's me off to play golf and won't be home until around 6pm ⛳ ! It'll save me a lot of heartache looking at this site but bring on a positive outcome on all fronts 😇

I just closed my window but there's still a bloody draught 👹

Am I the only one who just cannot wait for this transfer window to slam shut.... 😇

In true Saintsweb tradition, I'll give him till the end of September and then call for his immediate dismissal 😆 ! Negativity rules, ok.... 😉

Enhanced current deal I understand but he is out of contract next June so a £10mil release clause is useless ! (or am I missing something?).

Pass me the bargepole 👹

Total misquote ! He said "one of the wealthiest" and qualified his statement thereafter ! He also did not say that we have 'deep pockets' so your attempt to twist his meaning is patently wrong....

This season started on 4th Aug but the transfer window shuts on 1st Sept even although last season finished at the end of May ! I don't know what the logic is here but it doesn't half make it difficult to manage for clubs, particularly relegated teams who always have a major rebuild to do ! Sizeable salary drop clauses, individual player ambitions etc.. make wholesale changes inevitable ! IMO it puts the decision makers under undue pressure and sends online websites (like this one) into meltdown... Sadly we'll probably drop quite a few points before it all gets sorted but I guess that'll apply to Leeds and Leicester also !

Mason Holgate is the one being talked about so I'd assume that Lyanco would become surplus thereafter !!

Bring it on.... 🎼🎼🎼

The new big screens inside the stadium are very impressive but most of the time they show a 'split screen' with advertising on one side. I would much prefer action content on the full screen and let them do the adverts on a rotational basis !

I like it and consider it unique to us ! Always people around me clapping along and where I am in the Kingsland I've never heard any complaints ! Amazingly there are a number of critical comments on Saintsweb, who'd have thunk it 😆😆 !

Hoddle also has a few Ron-isms, my favourite being - they've got to be looking for "them little pockets" 😆 !

Did you actually listen to his interview ? "I'm really annoyed and frustrated at a few bits of it as well. Their real strength is in transition, and we gave them too many moments, but the lads were relentless.

Well I'm a Jags fan but it certainly wasn't me 😉

Great summary, do I assume correctly that you work for the 'Medway Towns Tourist Board' ?? 🤣🤣🤣

That's pretty clear then ! End of debate ✔️

Bloody hell, Russell Martin delivered them personally, mine came in the post 😉 !

Given that we will lose a few more players, probably/possibly JWP, KWP, Che, Lyanco,Tella & Sulemana (Lavia is pretty much gone already!) our absolute priority must be for a striker to finish off our good approach play ! We're reasonably well covered in defence and midfield but if we are to kill games off when on top as we were in the first half yesterday a poacher is necessary ! Jöel Piroe has been mentioned as has a loan for Danny Ings but haven't read much more speculation, just hope that our recruitment team are on the case ?? Enjoyed the game last night and as ever I start the season in confident mood 😇
