French 'tator a little excited as we get it near their box. Probably just the surprise of it, I guess.

No one out there strong enough to lift one, let alone throw it.

They are made out of the snood he'd like to have worn.

I'm sure we'd all like a "Ref a PL game" coupon if we got one in a Christmas cracker, like this guy. 🙂

We allied with Doctor Who against the Daleks. He's never forgiven us.

This season 1 of the 3 thought that revolutionising football was a winner and another one was making a step up for the second season in a row. But yes, there's quite the gap even without shooting yourself in the foot as we've done.

Fernandes lucky to stay on as his nose brutally hits another palace player again. The ref must go home happy every game, having got the support of all the home teams he gives every decision to.

Oooof. I thought that was going in from the free kick.

Miles ahead.... ... of everyone else in getting to the Championship first.

His corners could do with work too. He's young, so I'd have thought we'd have other options there.

Fernandes' nose getting him into trouble again. Well done ref.

Palace all over us as the half went on. Where we devoted our time to passing it around the back all season, Palace spent at least some time getting their front line doing the same. While we struggled to hold the ball and get a pass complete, they noticed the lack of bite in our midfield and passed their way easily through it. AA looking very quiet again in a wider position. I can see why he prefers to be central, and probably means it for the PL, as he's not getting much from where he is. Dibling raw, and not with much support to do much. Aribo trying to shore things up is not really something he's best at, and it's showing. Still, it's even and we can only hope for a better second half. Bedders' first foul is getting him a card though.

Lost interest sharply at "commentary" 🙂

I thought his nose might have been sent off for hitting the Palace player's arm like that. Lucky escape for Saints there.

An attacking, hard working physical and pacey attack. One day we might get one. Not sure where our midfield have gone.

Off KWP heel to stop a second.

Excellent Ramsdale save there. Only one team going in front at this point. Need to get a fluky counter or just get a grip.

The equaliser was certainly coming. We were struggling to get anything clear.

And so early in our 10 year plan. I can only hope we remain humble with our feet on the ground when things get even better.

I appreciate you taking the time, and sharing your thoughts on the above. I guess the OP didn't see your post. I'm assuming that the whole point of their thread was to discuss reform, and not just to post links. I'm sure they have some interesting thoughts on it too.

Asylum

Another post pretending that the Guardian, the source of all correct opinion along with James O'Brien, is somehow not trying to use it's political stance any differently to the parody papers on the other side. Good to see a mention on how informed people were during rioting from the person who got caught out trying to fake a racially motivated incident on social media during it. While a NASA space probe has gone closer to the sun, there's still no sign of SOG's self awareness anywhere in the cosmos.

Norwich fans welcoming the decision for more seasons of playing out from the back...

His bromance has left the building. 🙂 As with any new manager, he'll have to earn it. That's how it should be on an ongoing basis too. In a squad Martin felt was hampered by "scar tissue" after the last relegation, Stephens was vocal, bought into Martin's ideas and was versatile to play in a number of roles. It was only awkward as, when everyone is fit, he's not first choice on skill, only in shoutiness. Useful to have in the squad still for us, considering where we are. In his self inflicted absence, Wood has been decent. Unless he's alienated the rest of the squad, or the club, ABK (who was also decent in his only appearance) might get a chance again too. There's plenty of personal responsibility and flexibility required in Juric's sides. Things Stephens has, but will now need to show in training to get back in.
