Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

Since when was Broja possibly heading back to Chelsea a thing (snippet from Sky transfer feed)? I'm hoping they mean at the end of the season not in January!!

To be fair, Rupert Lowe going into any room was as popular as a fart in a lift...

And we'll always look at their SISU takeover and thank god it wasn't us...

Screams back-up goalie. Whether that's to Macca or someone decent, time will tell.

Not ideal to have to play 90 mins with 10 men before an important League game but excellent resilience particularly when going 2-1 down.

Either Ralph's gone crazy or the BBC might've messed up how we're going to line up... 😂

Villa are now after Brighton's Bissouma according to Sky. I can see Brighton getting a Southampton-style raiding after Poch left for a number of their better players this summer (if not in January).

Newcastle will probably resist anything until Feb at the earliest so they can get the maximum number of new players as their new found wealth can bring in before any re-arranged matches...

And just had an email confirming the refund now...

Yes, I was asked to do the same with a similar lack of resistance.

I like the fact we're in a better position today than we were yesterday and I didn't ever feel this would make us one of the top players in the transfer market. That said, if we are able to spend a bit more like the Villas of the world when we need to and identify the right player, that would be an improvement. And I really won't mind if Dragan comes in and says "I'm not going to interfere as a rule but your goalies are all shit, now go and buy a proper one..."

If he would like to bring Dusan back as a fellow Serb, that would be good. It won't happen, I'm sure, but I'd love us to have spent even more on improving the squad by the time we play Newcastle to make them wish they'd played on Sunday... 🤣

Let's hope he's not the Danish Les Reed?

Cheating Geordies. Must be some COVID outbreak if they can't get a team out from this squad...

Fine battling draw of the kind we wish Saints would do more often in the face of some questionable refereeing. Shout outs to the keeper & defence, Diallo shielding and Long put in a hard working shift up front. Cracking strike from the skipper too, who looks to be returning to form now.

Nice to see some resilience, recovering from conceding rather than conceding another and losing after being ahead again. Pleasing to see us take points off those cheeky Cockney chappies for once too!! Going to need Bednarek and Salisu to stay fit with Stephens and Lyanco out with COVID but two promising away performances in a row now. Would very much like to see us turn over Spurs on Tuesday now but that will be a much harder test. For now, happy to revel in a Boxing Day win.

Feels more like this at the moment... 😁

This seems pretty positive, no?

Please don't set Ralph new challenges...
