Hapless and hopeless, both England and Scotland. Excruciating viewing so I watched Clarkson's Farm instead. Tuesday night will be England's Swansong no doubt about that. Surely Southgate has got to be sacked soon.

Another one bites the dust.

Boring with umpteen millions stashed away for a rainy day? I'd love to be that bored!

I think we should appoint Benitez as a new manager and rotate him and Hasenhüttl on a two match basis. We can then decide at the end of the season which one to keep and which one to bin.

Because some of our young players have been discarded by Saints because they don't suit Hasenhüttl's style of play doesn't mean they are not good players. If things go badly this season and Hasenhüttl is ditched, we might come to regret some of the decisions made about young players recently.

Good players turn these opportunities into goals

Of course he's a decent human being and a very rich one at that. It doesn't have much to do with his football managerial skills

We saw everything that is good about Che Adams and everything that is bad last night. When will he get it into his head that leathering the bloody ball every time he gets a sight of goal achieves nothing. With thought, patience and craft he could be a prolific goal scorer but sadly it seems he will never learn these attributes and so will never be a prolific scorer at this level. Two missed sitters last night was inexcusable and not the laughing matter he seemed to think it was. It's a pity Stuart Armstrong didn't get into the starting XI but easy to see why not. The Scottish side were clearly set up for a midfield and defensive battle to keep a clean sheet and maybe nick one on the break. Armstrong has the wrong skill set for that type of set-up.

We do need to keep 11 players on th ebooks 'though to meet our weekend obligations

Hadrian's Wall worked perfectly before they invented aeroplanes

The summer transfer window will open on Wednesday June 9, 2021 for Premier League clubs and it will run for 12 weeks until 11pm BST (6pm ET) on Tuesday August 31. That means transfers deals can be officially concluded before Euro 2020 kicks off on June 11.

Different times old chap. That was back in the day when we finished regularly in the top 8. Now we have a squad of players like JWP who play flat out to achieve 16th. He's OK for us now but was never OK for us then.

JWP isn't the moving type, he's a home boy. I would love him to move on but expect he will end his career here - just to spite me!

Very tough start. We'll do well to squeeze 5 points from the opening eight matches. Hopefully some others will find it just as tough. How long will Ralph be given if we are bottom at the beginning of October? Our only hope may be a couple of surprise world class signings in July otherwise if we start with substantially the same squad that ended last season so poorly then our luck may finally have run out. Never been less optimistic for a new season.

Oh dear! Haven't we been here before?

Me too until now. They've sold my seats without any discussion or notification. That's loyalty for you. No explanation has been forthcoming so I am out of there probably for good. Will I miss it? Really doubt it, the Covid break has sort of weaned me off it.

As the man said, we intend to do all our business early so that we can settle in our squad pre-season and hit the ground running. Theo should be fit by August. 🍻

Lots of once famous names we would have given out eye teeth for now at the ends of their careers. Life is short for a top flight footballer.

Yep although I would have expressed it a little differently!

Yes indeed, the sliding doors at the Archers Road end were often forced open by crowds "waiting patiently" outside and invariably a couple of hundred or more would charge in before the stewards could force them closed again. As a kid I managed to sneak through there once for a Spurs Cup Tie only to be collared and chucked out again.

The game is faster, the athletes are far more powerful, the ball moves far more quickly, is lighter, never gets waterlogged and swerves about a lot more as players have learned how to apply spin.

Excuse me, the Dell record was over 31,000 - odd. I was one of them v Man U back in the sixties

The stadium was built by Barr. During the construction a visitor centre was established somewhere under the Chapel stand and the public could walk in and see the construction under way and use an interactive program to explore the expected views from every seat. While my wife & I were in there one day a whole squad of Leicester top brass were being shown around and as we know now, their stadium was announced soon afterwards. I understood the base model for SMS was The Riverside but obviously not quite so ambitious

The Club will be aware of this discussion thread so; SFC, what are you doing about it or will you just wait until part of the roof collapses before taking action?

Maintenance at SMS has alway been poor. For years the top of the folding players tunnel was dirty with dust and algae yet nothing was ever done about cleaning it even though the directors and visiting VIPs sat right behind the tunnel and couldn't miss the state it was in. Rank poor management.
