Given it was a solemn promise from Dragan, they don't have any choice but to build a team of that nature and stature, do they? Unless the thinking was / is: "the team that ended last year was exciting and got fans out of their seats, ergo, as long as we keep the majority of those players then Dragan's promise is fulfilled"...?

Unlike Alfie to go down the contrarian click-bait path...

2nd June 2026 Dragan Solak: "I promise you that we'll bring to you at the end of the summer the team that will take you out of your seats and excitement will run high at St Mary's." Assume we're not at that point yet...? How many more signings still required, and at what level, for Dragan's "promise" to become reality?

It's almost as if some posters defend the indefensible in order to solicit a reaction... (Also see: Bazunu)

Yeah, a reasonable hunch 👍🏻

We're also missing a 2nd keeper, assuming Ramsdale and Bazunu are off (surely Long isn't going to be our primary back up keeper?)

Peretz Bree - Stephens - THB - Manning Downes - Bragg Matsuki - Azaz - Scienza Larin Bench: Long, Welington, Wood, Jander (if close to full fitness), Fellows, Dobbin, Archer, Akachukwu, Oyekunle In a car somewhere on the M1 enroute to join a loan club: Brereton-Diaz

Video clips now being called 'reels' on social f***ing media. What the f*** was wrong with calling them 'video clips'? Too many words for the dumbed-down generation...? Twats.

Given it seems unlikely that Charles was ever going to get minutes on the pitch yesterday, I assume he was taking up a place on the bench just so that he could say his goodbyes to the fans after the game...? Tonda getting soft / sentimental in his old age...?

Oh contraire... we were told last season by one of the self-proclaimed Saintsweb intelligentsia that Bragg wasn't fit to tie Downes' boots...

Yup... Works a treat every time...

Right then.... Heading out for my birthday meal... I repeat, this'll end 0-0... Mark my words... TTFN x

Tonda OUT

Feel free to write one...

Why do some teams look fully fit and raring to go at the start of the season and others look "rusty and disjointed"...?
