The Cat

Some prick smashed a pumpkin in an alleyway in Hamble and I stood on a bit when I was out for a run earlier and rolled my ankle pretty badly. I'm definitely in the bollocks to Halloween camp now.

Gazzaniga was in goal for Girona too.

Do you get a small hit of dopamine every time you post this?

Maybe so they can see how he performs alongside Lavia in midfield?

Very poor today. Not sure what he was thinking with the 2 backheels in defensive positions in the first half that went wrong and put us in trouble.

The Lyanco/Zaha bet was just so obvious. I also had them + Caleta-Car after last weekend's wrestling with Jesus but he calmed that down today.

From a personal point of view I quite enjoyed the first half.

Mostly our fans as some pricks in our end were singing and others telling them to shut up.

Rammed around London Bridge, loads of Ipswich about.

Duje Caleta-Car Yes, he's gonna be a star Duje Caleta-Car Saints fans all love you Beep, beep, beep, beep, yeah!

There's more to a player than just their goal threat though. Say that Edoize creates a couple of decent chances but then is also responsible for us conceding a goal because he didn't do the defensive part of the game correctly. Is it still worth picking him over someone who could have prevented that but may have created less? Ideally we'd have someone who could do all of them but we probably don't.

Confirmation that it's the physios who make a decision on whether a player is fit enough to play rather than the manager after people were getting at Ralph for not starting Adams against Arsenal.

Moyles definitely. I vaguely know someone who worked on his show and they hated him. Tim Lovejoy deserves a mention. Also gives me an excuse to post a link to the greatest book review of all time. https://www.wsc.co.uk/the-archive/no-love-no-joy/

The disallowed injury time Spurs goal was funny. Conte going mad because he thought they were through and then ends up getting sent off 😂

Something like £8trillion per matchday wasn't it?

Drive to North Sheen, train to Waterloo, then London Bridge. Drink around there and then train to Norwood Junction. Seems like the best option to me.

Pretty sure there's bus replacement on that service until Havant this weekend.

She's Fareham MP, so maybe she's Saints too and Sunak's just getting a load of our fans in top jobs.

Definitely, very annoying. I don't use the train that much but seemingly every time I want to there's some works or cancellations. As for the game, I can see it being a tight one. Palace are a weird team, a lot of decent players but not doing as well as I thought they would.

I'd happily sing that over the Djenepo/Wonderwall chant.

Agree that it's a bigger problem when game is sold out. Otherwise don't wear colours (that's just so stupid) and don't say anything. I've done it a few times, always keep quiet and if anyone asks I just say I support a random non-league team and am just there to watch a match.

It's October you melt.

Arsenal fans moaning about Saints players being too aggressive is a bit of a stretch considering what Paul Davis did to Glenn Cockerill.

If that means he scores in an FA Cup semi final then I'm all for him.

We frequently switched between a 4 and a 5 man defence during the game depending on the passage of play. It was interesting to watch.
