I've watched three or four Baggies vids of the game and they have all been fair and realistic. They have all said that Saints well deserved the win, how good we were, that they all thought that we would get automatic promotion and that the Saints fans were outstanding......and not one moaned about the "penalty".......

Very fair Baggies.

Eddie Howe has expressed his fears over Dan Ashworth’s access to Newcastle’s transfer secrets - and wants his likely defection to Manchester United resolved imminently. In what is an extraordinary situation, the sporting director was still scheduled to lead planning meetings with first-team scouts on Friday, despite Howe revealing Ashworth has not said he wants to stay at the club this week. He also said it was the job of ‘someone above me’ to answer whether the 52-year-old should still be in the building amid links to their Premier League rivals.

Being a befuddled old git, I find this penalty thing quite confusing, It always used to be "ball to hand - no penalty......hand to ball.....penalty," In other words, if you deliberately touched the ball with your hand it was a pen. I don't think that JS deliberately handled the ball.

If anyone is interested. From 18m 20s:- BBC iPlayer - The One Show - 12/02/2024

Currently on The One Show talking about fostering. Film of Saints and St Mary's too.

Yes...someone on the Watford Cup thread said that Rothwell should be nowhere near the team. Aren't opinions strange.

Yours seem to be the consensus. May be it is because he is not a "big" name and he is taking CA.s place that people have these opinions....

Strange how opinions vary so widely.

CoT side project?

According to Adam and Jo, he had a good game......certainly up to the point where he was taken out by a Hornet.

Just seen teamsheet......no Brooks!! WTF???😵

The thing is that his "reign" here was surreal for many reasons. That is why he is still in the fans psyche...

I would have thought that any keeper that saves 8 out of ten shots per game would be worth looking at.....

But I shall be Comfortably Numb if we FINISH in second place......

Made hard work of it? We hardly broke into a sweat!

I have to say, the Rotherham 'tators are a couple of real numpties. Statler and Waldorf....

I have to say that the CoT's "clues" remind of Ted Rogers on "3,2,1"

Is that Turkish??

It's very strange. I remember a lot of people on here really calling out for Saints to sign DCC......not sure what happened.....

Dream or nightmare?

Is he though? I would love to keep him but in all honesty he hasn't really done much this season. He has apparently said that he would be happy to come back next season if we get promoted

My take on this is that we might not have seen the last of CA. If the reports that he would be happy to return if we get promoted are accurate, it all makes a bit of sense. Sadly he hasn't set the World alight this season and is not getting game time. Loaning him out (and getting a half-decent loan fee) to get game time/experience at a high level in Italy without burning bridges has to be good for everyone........but then again......what do I know!
