C'mon: Bradforrrddd, Buraagghhh. Palaaarrcceee, Fooxxxssss, etc etc It's a mug's game, everybody! send me your fivers next week and I promise you I will give you my house if every team wins!

Not unexpected though is it if the players have only had time for a quick half before the match? Alehouse Brawlers? Seeing the players on the bus and in the bookies before the game isn't it? Couple of Woodbines and splashing on the embrocation, soccer's gone soft somewhere along the way.

Can't be long till the new poster Getdat van Ganja logs on, I'll say Tuesday.

Just about to post the same, watching it again on MOTD and it looks great. Would like to see us wearing this for away games on the run-in.

Great minds, and all that. Glad to see somebody else that can see beyond the hair colour!

Happily say we have 'never' won three consecutive games on TV.

Wowzer!

More David Batty than Morgan Schneiderlin, in the nicest possible way. Fantastic today, hands off 'big clubz'.

Shoot on sight policy tonight.

Is it really windy there? Passes missing by a mile.

Bizarre, but presumably to keep Norwich fans out at 10 pound a pop? Not sure if this is on the other thread but I haven't seen it anywhere and was half and half for whipping up there tomorrow, glad I saw it! Hopefully nobody else will be caught out.

Swansea and West Brom played on Saturday too

That's not big and it's not clever.

C'est oui monsieur, beaucoup de poisson n'est ce pas?

His problem is ... he's not someone else. (John Cooper Clarke). I'm sure it will all be forgiven if he takes off with a lingerie model (and scores twenty times a season). Mrs Sandwich saw him in the flesh today for the first time and she was 'disappointed' (and she's not even a lingerie model). Says he looks good on telly but he was a bit half-hearted today and his first touch was hit and miss, she expected more. She's been spoilt rotten that woman.

Sub-titled, players we used to laugh at but are OK now; Rob Green ... zero to hero, he's been as good as anyone this year. Ashley Young .. not a great defender and not a great attacker but he appears to be carving out a niche for himself under van Gaal as a utility in-betweener. Not a new one but somebody that has improved massively .. Fabian Delph, signed from Leeds and anonymous for the first two seasons but has really upped is game the last 18 months. Most improved Saints player? Hard to say with all the new boys but you would have to say that SD has really stepped it up this year.

Put your camera on a Sprite bottle ... everybody's happy.

0-0 and a replay would cause a fair amount of fans 'stress and fatigue injuries' at this time of year. Isn't Elias Newbie available for this one?

Football's changed! Back in the day you had to avoid, to name but a few miscellaneous match day hazards; darts, coins, pool balls, glasses of **** (plastic and glass), glass beer bottles, batteries and the odd brick, but yeh, a narrow escape nearly being hit by a plastic sprite bottle. Was it full?

Let's try and put the dubious quiz question to bed; (bare with me) I think I first heard it as: Bristol City, Burnley, Blackpool, and 'Aberdeen' (not sure if that is Pittordrie pre or post all-seater status?) or possibly Tannadice (?) (told you I didn't know the answer), BUT some peeps have thrown in Birmingham, having never been to Blackpool pre or post re-development nor to St Andrews not sure where that leaves it. But there is a more recent ground where a lot of Saints fans will have seen us play four years ago this very week-end and where the teams do indeed emerge from behind the goal.... Dagenham and Redbridge, which was never in the pub quiz standard that I did. Definites: Burnley Bristol City and Daggers Maybes: Blackpool (old or new?), Birmingham(?), Aberdeen or Dundee (?) .... Anybody else got a dodgy question they would like to ask?

Given up with the streams today....

Very good goal, that should give him a lift.

Decent start for Mane, I need goals for RVP and Rooney (after resting Costa and Hazard, duh.)
