Fonte knows full well how Lovren is regarded by Saints fans, so for him to come out publicly with all this backslapping ("my brother"..FFS) suggests/confirms that he's trying to engineer a move. Shame it's ending like this, ta for the memories.

Given the circumstances Puel has done ok. The lack of goals is of course disappointing but, as others have said, some of the glaring misses have been criminal, you can't blame him for that. He's made us hard to break down, and has reopened the path to the first team for the young lads. Need to look at the longer term. I'll take a step back in order to take two steps forward etc. We've had a ridiculous amount of managers over the past twenty odd years, its time for stability, and for me he's doing alright so far.

RIP. Way too much young. Condolences to family and friends.

A much needed 3 pts, well chuffed for young Josh Sims, I remember him scoring for england youths in his debut some years ago and thinking this lad is a bit special, his performance today was a proper two fingers to Mr Koeman. Agree we should've won by more but I'll take the win!

Saw a great quote tonight: this weekend 6 years ago we were preparing to meet Dagenham & Redbridge in L1, while Inter were holders of Serie A and Champions League ....

Must be said that Inter side are a shower of niggly, dirty, cheating basstards. They deserve nothing from this euro campaign apart from the wrath of their knobhead fans.

F*ck me that was good! After 30 odd years as a Saints fan dunno if I ever thought I'd see a victory against the likes of Inter. And not just a win, we played them off the park for the second time in a fortnight. JWP MOTM for me.

Great point. Romeu got my MOTM, immense. Continuing to be more and more impressed with Redmond, the boy's gonna be a bit special!

Will be stuck in Riga airport for this, ffs. Praying can catch dodgy stream on iPad. Reckon we'll get something out of it, Longy to break his duck...

That could have been double figures, we were quality today particularly in the second half. Pull continues to impress, now for Inter & Man City!

Things are starting to click. We haven't played badly this season, the return of 2 pts from the initial 4 games was not reflective of the performances. Lot of positives today. Romeu MOTM for me, looked very solid and used the ball well. Davis, Tadic, Bertrand, all excellent, Jose & Vvd very comfortable all day. Redmond will have nightmares about that miss, but he is showing signs of becoming a very decent footballer. Overall, We defended well, good pressing and some sweet movement & passing, good to watch. And Boufal still to come in

This. Smell of fish off Kitson.

Glad to see Austin get a start. 2-0 Saints

I remember that. Wasn't Robbo sporting the classic bubble perm? Must-have do for any aspirational player at the time...

Anything that comes out of Robbie Savage's gob. - sh it cliches. Check. - poor grammar. Check. - constant self references. Check - dubious knowledge of the rules of the game. Check - wild usage of hyperbole. Check. - being an annoying pr ick. Check.

They'll use Tallaght if Aviva unavailable. As you correctly said that ground has already been used in EL by Rovers. Just as well their own place isn't sanctioned because it's an absolute toilet even by League of Ireland standards..

Disappointing obviously, but we competed throughout and if we had a finish we would've got something. Need one more attacking option.

I know...was being a tad negative. I would be rightly p*ssed off if leaves though, hope all the speculation is nonsense

Seems like he's no different to any of the deserters. Shame, for some reason I thought he was better than that.

Brilliant☺

If this happens I'm gonna need therapy to get over it..

This. Our starting line up will be very different in a few weeks time, but the lack of chances made and the general lack of fluidity in the final third is a worry.

Chuffed. Dowcha Longy boy!

Thought it was ok-ish initially, but in all honesty I was delusional. It's just f*ckin horrendous innit. Worst home shirt ever
