Finally time to come back on the game. I genuinely don't know how people have time to post loads when watching.
Anyway, genuinely thought we were great yesterday. Shouldve killed the game by half time but wasn't to be. Despite them making 10 changes, they still had a number of chances and 'on...
The Cov fans in front of the press box. There were one or two standing up in the first half singing the songs and really pissing off a couple of Saints fans. One Saints fan was getting really aggy with it all and marched up the steps to confront one of the Cov fans but the Stewards calmed a...
The team looked in good spirits yesterday. Looking forward to today.

Now that Ismael has been sacked at WBA, I wonder if they'd consider MR as a replacement? If they would, that'll be a sign of the clubs ambitions - would MR stay if approached by WBA and if so, what would the club do to keep him?
Regardless of what they spent on the club beforehand, the 11 players who were the mainstay of their squad, we're brought in for £28m (just double checked) when some of the clubs who they were up against, had spent 5-10 times that amount.
Well of course - any team would be better off with more money.
My point being that having say, the 20th ranked budget, doesn't necessarily mean we're going to finish 20th and there's decent precedent for that, if an irregular occurence.
I can't see us losing O'Hare, Gyo or Hamer this summer personally. I think all 3 will be with us next season.
I'd also keep Shipley and Allen. They won't be automatic starters but we need a decent sized squad and both have proved on occasion this season, that they can be useful at times.
