Hoping to be wrong but I’m not convinced so far and fear he could be a weak link for us this season

Decent bait...could net a few with this.

Suspect Josh and SP had a frank conversation towards end of last season, with Scott saying he could not guarantee him game time in the PL. Josh was already being regularly subbed for us towards the end of the season despite his incredible goal scoring and assists. Then JB may have thought as a free...

Nice to have a match at OT that isn't seen as a "free hit".

I just hope that if we get an early goal, we dont try to shut up shop for 75 mins.

he looked lost in the Premier League last time around.

He (Ramsey) was 20 ffs...and playing in a disorganised rabble.

Scotland has the football system it deserves....it's about as competetive as the boat race.

Pitiful to see the lines of bigot-filled coaches departing Kilmarnock/Ayr/Dumfries etc on a saturday morning whilst those towns can barely scrape anything like a crowd together.

Amazed to see the odd 5 for Ramsey.

I'm not....I've spent too long reading the guff on here. Ramsey had a very effective game. Edwards was fine...we'd be watching championship football on saturday rather than watching us play at OT if we'd not signed him.

Worrel 5 Milk turns quicker

Predictably sloppy/meh/disinterested 1st half....nobody staking any kind of claim for a start at OT.

Yesterday we got lucky - we were impotent in that 1st half

Seats facing the pitch are also available.

Dub..8
Walker..8
Est.8
Ekdal..8
Hartman..7
JBL..7 following instructions I'd have thought.
Cull...9
Les..8 real player here given time.
Hannibal...8 untidy at times but massively influential
Foster..8
Anthony..9...could have been a ten if he'd buried the header on half time.

Sonne..7

He will have an host of offers on the table.

But clearly none that came close to matching his expectations....or even whatever was on the table at Burnley.

That would give us a back four of Walker, Ekdal, Esteve and Hartmann, Cullen, Hannibal and Ugochukwu at the heart of midfield and Larsen and Anthony wide of Foster.

I'd take your hands off for that, with Broja ready around the hour mark.

fatboy47

It's a shame if he is going because his pace would absolutely be an asset. Against that though, the last few times I've seen him he's pretty much defined 'flatters to deceive' and he looks like if you put him in the middle of the Bonneville Salt Flats he'd still find a blind alley to run into. Whic...

I just ran into a couple of Southampton supporters in a sale room in Salisbury this afternoon. They were quite derisory about Ugochukwu.

If your pleasure is limited to watching long hops and full tosses being constantly lumped into the stand and you've no interest in the cerebral side of the game then it's probably for you.

Targetting compliant 70 year olds is nothing other than grabbing some low hanging fruit ( like doing people for doing 32 in a 30 zone) whilst doing nothing to address the vast majority of issues. It's simply an easy win and won't change a thing.

On an average drive into town I feel like I'm running a gauntlet of psychotics, clowns, scroats, drunks and stressed out sales reps.

Rarely do any of them appear to be over 70.

He’s not already at a middle ranking PL team, because they know what we know. He isn’t at that standard, and that’s the full story really. Good luck to him, but let’s not pretend we’ve missed out on something here. He was a very decent championship midfielder, who tried the PL and failed. We should...

Presuming the striker signs, I'd say we are stronger now , right across the park, than the side that started against City 2 years ago...I'm really not sure what it is that the doubters still want.

Hanibal will be worth £30m this time next year. He should have been made captain this season, reason being that you'll never shut him up, he has too much enthusiasm but being 'captain' gives him license to be vocal and be the one player that can challenge the referee without consequence. Damned fin...

He's left Burnley.

I'd be delighted if Leeds are signing players who really don't look great at the top level.

But don't fret...they won't be.
