    Hopefully this doesn’t lead to any snap decisions re: signing another striker

    Now it’s daft to put anything onto these pre-season games, as we said after the first game against Leipzig.


    But we’re going to win the league.

    Open play goals is one area which JWP could improve on. So that sort of finish is good to see.

    He definitely looks big and strong and we have really needed more of that in the side

    Genuine question as I know nothing about them - are Monaco any good and is this their first team or reserves.

    They finished third and qualified for the champions league. Someone suggested earlier that it is their first team and they have had more pre season friendlies

    Who did the ridiculous swan dive for them? Doing a Neymar - OTT dive in a friendly. Unfortunately for him he is not Neymar so it was waived away

    The #Saintsfc on Twitter over the last 90 minutes makes for good reading. From screaming for Ralph's head at HT to applauding the performance an hour later. <laugh> <doh>

    Yep, really glad I watched the live stream tonight.

    Talking of class ...I joined a Carpenter's class the other day.


    We haven't made anything yet.


    We've only just begun.'

    I've loved the aggression in getting the ball back this half.

    FYI, Monaco finished 3rd in Ligue 1 last season, 2 points behind 2nd placed Marseille.

    I enjoyed that. Some encouraging signs and the return of the aggression that went missing at the back end of last season.

    Good to get some goals and win a game. Good progress going into the final friendly.

    What would be nice now on top of this is a real transfer rumour so all the fish puns on the other thread can stop!

    All our new signings seem to be showing something at least so that is good to see
