We wish you a Merry debut...
Interesting he's giving Bree a try at CB

But where is Pippin?
But to be fair him and Merry are yet to hit their growth-spurts.

Nice little run out, then, with a sprinkling of Suga Interesting that Charly played, maybe there's still some hope he'll stay.

Did anyone go? Just seen the highlights. SAA looked great but it is Eastleigh. Shame we had to put 7 past Super Kelvs team though

Post-match interview:
Wish a journalist would press him about the kids when he says we have great young players... does he think they can actually pathway with us now we're in the Prem? Dibling's assist in that friendly was weighted beautifully.
Sounds like door will be open to Che when nobody offers the wage he wants.
I quite liked his rant about the style of play and tying it up with England v Spain.

I enjoyed that extended rant about how Saints play, and as you say, the bit about the Euros Final was a nice ending -The best players didn't win, but the best team did.

I quite liked his rant about the style of play and tying it up with England v Spain. That’s a really interesting interview, thanks for sharing, we all know that we won’t dominate games like we did last season and RM accepts that and states exactly that, but the core principles will remain and we won’t be parking the bus, perhaps we could drive it round the block a few times though! It’s going to be a rollercoaster, we will get stuffed a few times and we will definitely give away some silly goals, but he seems prepared for that and the criticism that will come - can we get 10 wins and 6 draws with this squad and his system - of course we can 😇😇!!

Also, I think it was TSP that pointed out that when Burnley went up they lost the whole core of the team that got them promoted - including Tella and THB. It looks we are doing well at holding onto ours. That gives some hope.

It looks we are doing well at holding onto ours. That gives some hope. We just need to keep strengthening in a few positions. We seem to be working from back to front. I hope McCarthy is up to it. Ive got faith in THB making the step up as he was far too good for the Championship. Lallana should add some know how and help to maintain standards, even if he doesn’t play that much. What’s happening with Fraser? Big Ron and Nathan Wood might come good in time. Downes was a crucial signing and KWP hasn’t left. Yet. O’Riley sounds promising and AA deserved a new contact but I’d still like to see a new keeper (although that doesn’t seem likely at the moment) and striker (unless Saints are waiting to offload TP first). Adams might yet come back with his tail between his legs but I think we need to do better than him. Sulemana can take a running jump as he’ll only get in the way of Dribling and SAA.

Yes, you'd expect that someone like City knock 4 or 5 past us at least (and Guardiola then praises us for playing football the right way). When we do get a smacking, I hope Russ has the temerity to remind people that we got beat 9-0 twice under our aggressive pressing philosophy. On a serious point though, we need to give him some room for mistakes and learning at this level.

I thought he was an arrogant twat based on his touchline persona but now I’ve seen his softer side.
