Great article in The Times yesterday explaining why the transfer window has been so slow. So many moves dependent on players first being shifted out to free up funds/salaries and nothing is moving. Will be a right old bun fight towards the end of the window. And also goes to explain why us not...

I think they spent some cash didn't they? But a long run of bad results inevitably means the manager takes the rap.

On reflection, that was pretty snarky. Sorry. But you get my point? We don't know what's happening. If people restate what highly partial parties might have released into social media, or just made up, often enough, it gets taken as fact and then used as a stick to beat the club. Which really is...

An old article (4 years ago - https://www.themag.co.uk/2017/04/championship-clubs-spending-100-turnover-wages-new-astonishing-figures-newcastle-united/) says that 15 of the 24 Championship clubs spent more than 100% of revenue on wages. Brentford were at 166% of revenue incredibly. I can only...

And you could argue were a result of fast, decisive passing, getting behind the defenders, thus stopping the oppo getting men between the shot taker and the goal. It struck me that this was the key against Burnley on Saturday in the second half. We broke the line (Biss and then Webster) and got...

Not sure Tino was prepared to leave Chelsea to just be a support player for another youngster at a "lesser" club. Assume he chose Saints because he would be starting?

Can't find clubs with over 100% (though I'm sure there are some) - but plenty in the 80%+ bracket https://www.footballcritic.com/news/revealed-the-teams-with-the-most-dangerous-wages-to-revenue-ratio/1048

Not dissimilar for many Prem clubs

Lose this one and we'd already be behind on the tracker. We need a fast start this season. Nothing but three points please GP.

Aston Villa were a shambles and whilst they did score three, on another day two could easily not have gone in. Watford have some pace, some talent, but we have more and will have the crowd behind us at home. I'm optimistic.

£1m in £20s looks like this - so even in £50's, it would take a very large wheelbarrow. Apparently £1m in £50 pound notes would weight 22kg. So £50m would be about a tonne.

Not sure that's one hundred percent accurate. Many were definitely recruited from the Mujahideen, but it isn;t the same people en mass. Good, short summary of the recent history here for anyone interested -...

We play them in a few weeks. Our tactics will be very telling. We know his weaknesses better thn any (including Leeds, his weaknesses only evolved after he came out from under Bielsa's wing) - we're sure to target them if we can.

Arsenal have a long history of tall, strong, dominant CBs who I imagine hang around the club as "legends" in one capacity of another. I'm sure they will get time with Ben and share the dark arts he requires. He's short for a modern CB, but not that short. He doesn't appear very robust - so maybe...

They all have us at about 1.7 and we scored 2. Maybe, whisper it, we are going to start scoring the goals our play actually deserves.
