Amiri? No chance. No way. Surely?

Don;t see either of them as droppable at the moment, really. But there's so many permutations - niggles falling short of injuries, yellow/red cards (either leading to supensions or a need to take Romeu off to stop him getting a 2nd), moving JWP to RM (or even to RB if there's a problem with KWP) etc etc

He's definitely become a starter for us. Not at his best today, but was decisive for the 2nd goal, with a great run off the ball.

Really tidy. Poor opponents, but you can only beat what’s in front of you etc. Not sure how easily our new signings break into the starting XI, which is a sign of strength.

I think the crowds will come back big time as soon as the law allows. Not because 100% of fans are keen to go and watch a match live, but because 50% are totally desperate to. I'm in the "can't wait to get back" camp. Totally get others are in the "not until there is a vaccine" camp. But the "can't wait camp" will be enough to fill grounds.

Yawn.

He's a solid 6 or 7 out of ten keeper at this level. I think he actually won our player of the season a couple of years ago. Pretty much the last position we need to invest in, especially as we have two reasonable (and expensive) back ups, whic isn't true for a good number of outfield positions.

I haven’t checked my bank balance yet, but I got a phone call and email from the club asking to confirm I wanted the refund paid into the same account I paid from for 4 season tickets. I am in the Saints Bar though (the “cheaper” end of corporate) - maybe they are refunding the dearer tickets first (eg refund for a box holder for Spurs game would be about £1,500, I think?)

Dreadful match against a very weakened Burnley. I guess the upside is that we got an early goal and basically killed the match from there. Ugly stuff though.

Yes. Obviously. This time next year we will pay someone £10m to take Carillo. I mean, why wouldnt we? Yawn.

Not wanting to go all Billy Bean...but gees, fans react so massivley to results not performance. That was a 5/10 performance but if Danny Ings had scored in the last minute it would be treated on here like an 8. Without that goal, it's being treated like a 2.

Weirdly brokne for me...i can get on about 20% of the time...80% i get lag and 504s

Is it even cheating to scuff the penalty spot?

Thanks for the update, Steve. Was glitchy a bit earlier today (got some 504s) but hope it continues to improve.

Yawn.

That's a pretty low bar tbh.

Managed to get in for first time in a day or so, but v slow

Yeah, it starts with a vaguely amusing twist/idea...such as his witty claim to be ITK. You sort of smile the first few times you hear it. But God, it gets rather wearing and tedious after a while. Deeply tedious, in fact.

Been awful again today...have finally got on after 50 attempts. Losing the will to try again. Hope Steve can fix it.

The oddity to me is that he isn't training with the squad at all. At least from what we can discern.

Managed to get in this morning after 4 or 5 attempts.

Anyone know what ahs happened to Salisu? No sign of him in today's friendly.

Managed to get back in at last. But, basically this forum has now broken down. Active traffic must be near zero. Real pity.

Any chance of an update from Steve? Is this as good as it gets or is there some plan/opportunity to solve this problem?

I’m not bothered about gambling companies sponsoring football clubs. I’d rather we tackled problem gambling directly rather than denormalising gambling overall. However, I’ve never heard of this outfit and it seems it’s as much to do with crypto-currency as with sports betting. The previous LD sports deal really looks extraordinarily dodgy. I hope we can sort of brush it away and move on, but I fear it could come back to bite us.
