Arma up top on his own tonight against Blackburn - surprised at that and Jiminez on the bench is another shock unless he has a fitness issue.

The fact that the FA have allowed this situation to meander on with no final decision made before the opening match of the season shows what a bunch of idiots they are. They've had more than enough time to put this to bed and only make themselves look totally incompetent by prolonging it. What is their excuse for not resolving this so that we can move on without this hanging over us?

Somebody always has to go and spoil it.

Thanks for clearing that up and good to hear from you SaintsExtra 🙂

Even with the 4 point deduction there is a scenario where, after two games, we could be just 2 points behind the leaders. It's very unlikely but, if we win our first two matches and nobody else does we will indeed be only 2 points adrift of the leaders 🙂 It could even be as little as one point if no other team gets a draw and a win but here I'm wandering into the realms of cloud cuckoo land. Stranger things have happened.

I see Ross is not fit for Swansea's opening game.

Hadn't seen that. Another player who I think would suit us is Scott Twine of Bristol City. We never seem to beat them but he'd see us as an upgrade and probably wouldn't cost loads.

Agree. Surprised we've not been linked with him. Hopefully have some other targets of quality in our sights.

Will be interesting to see who ends up as Shea's replacement. Big boots to fill so I would hope we get someone who is a good fit and enhances the squad because Shea is a big loss.

Yeah but what are the ngatives?

Yeah, it's very easy.......especially if your centre forward is Big Ron 🙂

None of them received anything close to the relentless vilification we did from press and pundits.

Yeah, with Leo and Fellows on the wings and Azaz threading inviting passes into dangerous areas his movement, speed and power could see him notching a few goals.

Good luck to Shea. Good player and he came across as the consummate professional. Wish him well at Fulham.

Yeah. Got a feeling this lad will do well for us. Think he'll get some minutes on Sunday.
