Most people on here are sharp enough to, yep, but you've obviously been spared the perils of Saints Twitter and Facebook.

Here's the latest instalment on our Facebook feed... commenting on Boufal's announcement:

I just read that, unbelievable.

But by checking his account, he's obviously a loner.
 
Marcos Alonso close to joining Chelsea for £23m. Still think the guy shouldn't be playing football.

Why? I'm surprised as he didn't do anything special at Bolton or Sunderland.

Well apart from killing a woman while drunk at the wheel, you're right, nothing special.
Not Spanish Justice's finest moment.


Sorry SaintsForTheWin, you got there seconds before me.

Alonso is still one of the worst 'entitlement' victims the modern football industry has produced though.
 
So Saponara and maybe a utility defender. Shame we won't be replacing Big Vic but perhaps we won't need to when we revert to 2 pivots.

Satisfied customer.

Did he do any time?

I don't agree that he "shouldn't be allowed to play football" tbh.

From what I can see nope. I don't believe players that kill people by drunk driving etc should be allowed to play. These players are very much in the public eye. They are looked up to by youngsters etc.

Fair enough Beef, I don't agree but I respect that opinion.

One of my closest friends got drunk 20 odd years ago with his best mate (who was meant to be driving). My mate was less drunk so took the wheel, crashed, and ended up killing his best friend. He did two and a half years inside, became alcoholic and with drug addictions because of the guilt. I had to rescue him after one of his 'sessions' from his **** and blood strewn flat and we managed to get him as an inpatient in a clinic.

He's been dry now for 7 years and runs iron man triathlons to raise money for mental illness charities, and runs an incredibly successful business in Dubai. He's a hugely positive influence in my life.

One of my first girlfriends was killed by a driver who was coked up and pissed when we were 18. He did time and now doesn't drink and runs a successful business. I'm friends with him still.

It's crap and awful, but we have (pretty much) all done stupid things when we were younger, and for the majority of us, there but for the grace of god to be honest. As long as people have learned, I absolutely believe in second chances.
