This chap is destined for big things in football journalism I reckon...

I've heard that Maehle might be off to Atalanta but don't quote me on it yet. Just validating my source. BRB

Nice one Burnley. Next... Come on the Draw! #CHEWHA

Vision

I'm actually happier that we're playing Fulham now that they've picked up a bit. It always feels that we have a poor track record against teams that are in the midst of a bad run... (MLG notes: yes, I know... the stats probably show that we don't fair more worse against teams looking to break a bad run compared to any other team, so my post is indeed pretty pointless. It's a fair cop)

I'm rather suspecting that ye olde Saintsweb Forum isn't ideally suited for such subtleties...

Does this mean we won't be getting 17 feet of snow too...?

Indeed. The fact that neither Vokins nor Valery made it onto a 9 man bench surely speak volumes

If we'd won yesterday, we'd have gone 2nd... If, in tomorrow's games, Wolves beat Burnley and West Ham get a point vs Chelsea we'll be less than 3 points above the bottom half of the table... Funny old season. #finemargins

I find it hard to believe that you find it hard to believe what some of the posters are like on here

Voted. Come on Ronnie!

Imagine what its like for the players....!

Assume the winner won't be based on personality again this year? (i.e. Ronnie won't win it)

Fair enough... I just don't see Smallbone as an 'enforcer' type player (i.e. he's a bit lightweight) whereas Jankewitz looks more suited to that role (IMO).

Ah, yes, forgot all about him! Has he been injured? Don't think he's featured in either the 'A' or 'B' team squads the last few weeks, has he? P.s. hasn't Smallbone deputised for Armstrong earlier in the season, i.e. he's not a "No.6", in Ralph speak, per se...?

It's going to be carnage when we play Leeds, isn't it? What's the world record for highest ever score-draw....?

Any thoughts on who our "No.6" on the bench will be given that Diallo will no doubt replace Romeu in the starting 11? Assume it's a toss up between Slattery and Jankewitz?

Are these the same Spurs fans that were praising him to the hilt a couple of weeks ago and hailing him as future captain material...? Football fans in being fickle shocker. At least we don't get that on here...

Cricket score ahoy?

Next two games Vs Fulham and West Ham are somewhat pivotal... 4 points or more and we stay in the mix for a Europa slot, 3 points or less and we fall back into our 'default' mode (aka mid table obscurity). Assume the starting 11 will be: McCarthy KWP - Bednarek - Vest - Bertrand JWP - Diallo Redmond - Armstrong Adams - Walcott

It's the Daily Express so difficult to know what'll happen first... Ralph leaving for Man Utd or the 17 feet of snow that they'll have forecast for the UK this winter...
