trousers Posted 26 July, 2017 Posted 26 July, 2017 Didn't ask. Everything was quite relaxed, chatted to Clasie/Bertrand/Austin and Redmond while they were playing board games, but just about the local area and what to do. Had a chat to Shane, JWP and McQueen about the training and how it was going. Saw Pellegrino (he's very tall, you don't realise) but he was getting dinner so just walked past and said hi. But the guys were just in flip flops and it was 9PM, didn't feel the time to ask about VVD as I'm sure they get it all the time! Cheers Eddie
suewhistle Posted 26 July, 2017 Posted 26 July, 2017 I also forget that even players like Charlie Austin are still fairly young. I'm now in my early 30s but still don't feel like a proper adult, and most of the squad are now at least a few years younger than me! Don't worry. I qualify for a senior railcard and cheap away tickets at Huddersfield and I don't either.. I do have memories of players being older than me, but now they're a bit like police officers or doctors; worryingly young!
Baird of the land Posted 27 July, 2017 Posted 27 July, 2017 See our juniors just knocked Man Utd out. Frank Lovett clearly a future superstar. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40736259
DT Posted 27 July, 2017 Posted 27 July, 2017 haha. too far for me! Interestingly Manchester City are also training in Evian at another hotel this week! Strange that two big premier league teams are training in what is a very small city. Must be something in the water Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Kingsland Codger Posted 27 July, 2017 Posted 27 July, 2017 I also forget that even players like Charlie Austin are still fairly young. I'm now in my early 30s but still don't feel like a proper adult, and most of the squad are now at least a few years younger than me! That feeling doesn't go away. I'm in my early 60s and a grandfather but I still don't feel like a proper adult. Hopefully this will continue for a further 20 plus years.

eddie Posted 27 July, 2017 Posted 27 July, 2017 Training in Evian one day, beating Real in L.A the next, my, some do like to complicate things I also saw that. Must have been another team then, the receptionist clearly doesn't know her way round English football.

Frank Lovett clearly a future superstar. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40736259 What isn't clear from the BBC report is that while its true we stopped Man Utd qualifying for the top part of the competition, they still finished 7 places above Saints in the overall qualifying standings, as we also lost to Cherry Orchard (Dublin) and drew with County Antrim. Next up Middlesbro in the Bowl semi-final, was played yesterday but can't see the result anywhere.

Saint Albert Posted 27 July, 2017 Posted 27 July, 2017 A Man U supporter is staying at the same hotel as Saints. He's tweeted a few videos and stills from the camp, like this: https://mobile.twitter.com/VintageRomelu/status/890635829487566849 Incidentally, he also claims to have asked Pellegrino about VVD and was told twice that he's staying.
VectisSaint Posted 27 July, 2017 Posted 27 July, 2017 Isn't it today at Noon ? Yep, you didn't see my 2nd post. Senior moment. Anyway Saints lost on pens.
suewhistle Posted 28 July, 2017 Posted 28 July, 2017 A good sport to do that and he seems very relaxed.
mikee Posted 28 July, 2017 Posted 28 July, 2017 no wonder so many players seem to have an attitude - mollycoddled or what!
Whitey Grandad Posted 28 July, 2017 Posted 28 July, 2017 Cheers for that, Trousers. He seems very content, and great news that Højbjerg is pregnant.
Wimborne_saint Posted 31 July, 2017 Author Posted 31 July, 2017 (edited) Cedric is back! https://southamptonfc.com/news/2017-07-31/cedric-southampton-pre-season-staplewood-return-interview Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited 31 July, 2017 by Wimborne_saint
beatlesaint Posted 31 July, 2017 Posted 31 July, 2017 Sounds very much as if Cedric will be ready for the first match Saturday week, fitness wise at least.
Dusic Posted 31 July, 2017 Posted 31 July, 2017 Sounds very much as if Cedric will be ready for the first match Saturday week, fitness wise at least.Unlikely IMO given how much focus they put on the sports science side of things. He would only have 2 weeks of training versus about 5 weeks for Pied.
Master Bates Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 Who did we play in the closed doors friendly inbetween St Fallen and Brentford and what was the score please.
DT Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 They'll probably just use this as the excuse to sell VVD, mumbling about destabilising factors, or something. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
