Matt Targett has yet to play for Villa, he can barely make the subs bench. If only we had 13 million to **** up the wall on a reserve left back who never gets a game.

Indeed. The fact that it's rare actually makes it even more special. I don't get derry's argument at all.

Carrillo has more or less coped with the demands of La Liga, Moi is nowhere near being good enough to play at that level. He hasn't shown anything in the Champions League either, I don't know where you get that from. Before buying hm, we'd been scouting him for years. It beggars belief that we paid what we did.

For intellectual types like Trousers. In summary, our players are pants but our system and coach are very effective. https://readsouthampton.com/2019/08/29/patience-is-necessary-at-southampton-hasenhuttls-work-has-only-just-begun/

Sunderland 2 - Global Force 1

No, I don't think he does...

I would just enjoy watching us beat Pompey. We don't need to establish bragging rights; they are way beneath us, always have been, always will be.

How could it not affect the Irish border you utter mong?

Nonsense, we would smash them and it would be satisfying

This - I'm not reading too much into the Burnley result. Hoping for a close match against Liverpool, perhaps we can pull off a draw.

Impressed by wee Ross moving on the dross and signing what look like exciting players for low fees. Kudos

"Under the world famous Fratton lights™"* *Actually now replaced by Championship-standard floodlights, no less

He'll reportedly be on £75,000 a week, and has signed a two year contract. Terrible business, IMHO.

He's 27, and he's had one decent season at this level. Spent the vast majority of his career in League 2.

If we made this thread really really popular, they could become a global farce.

"Global force" Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Djenepo still looks very raw to me, I can't see him getting a starting place from the off.

A convincing read - thanks, you've made me feel a lot more positive about next season!

The Sfc article says that their platform "has now launched for the Chinese market" - I guess they're just not that bothered about their UK website - which is logical enough if their market is China.
