Something something hovercraft, something something eels...?

Yes, of course... But I'm just responding (in 'thinking-out-loud' mode) to those who believe that Mubama *is* Larin's understudy and who also believe that we won't be signing anyone else to fulfil that role...

If Mubama can't fulfil the 'Larin understudy' role, wouldn't it have made more sense to sign a Larin 'clone', rather than Mubama, in the first place...? (If, as some people say, we "won't be signing another target man"...)

A great debut today... My motm in fact... A cut above Wood and Stephens, although Wood has a decent game too, probably in part due to playing alongside KS.

Downes off. JWP on

At the match. Pants first 15 minutes, then on top the rest of the half. Bragg looking out of his depth and/or low on confidence unfortunately. Reckon we'll need a third goal as I can see Millwall grabbing another. P.s. the new CB with the long surname looking very good P.s.s. since when was wrapping your arms around our strikers and pulling them to the ground not against the rules...?

Bugger... Cue a match winning performance from their back up keeper.... #saintsy

Ha... I liked that he compared Nuno to his grandmother though... "I've been very strong in my beliefs about who I am as a player and as a person, regardless of whether my Nan was the manager or it's Nuno."

The major negative of JWP rejoining for me is that we won't be able to use the highly amusing "Free kick in JWP territory (even though he's no longer with us)" bants on match day threads anymore...

Great line-up for the new series. Prefer the general public version, as that's usually much more competitve and ruthless than the celeb version, but highly entertaining nonetheless. Televisual-tastic p.s. James Blunt is my dark horse punt (rhyming slang intended )

Was it that his corners "weren't great" or that, in his latter years here, we didn't have the calibre of players to convert his corners? Will be interesting to see if Larin's presence in the box 'coincidentally' renders JWP's corners better than they were previously perceived to be by some...

And the 'least surprising comment of the day' trophy goes to...
