Understatement! Great to see him score like that at last.

With a bit of luck this will be the best result Burnley get this season.

Rumour is he's switching codes to walking football.

He's not mobile enough, moves the ball too slowly, and is a red card waiting to happen. That was our forum wisdom over a long period. But WTF do we know?! Class player, in superb form, and according to Ralph the most professional he's ever worked with. Love that he's with us: give him another contact!

Terrific, professional performance. We look so dangerous when we move the ball quickly. Loved Romeu: banging shots in, and high up the pitch, socks down, pulling the strings late on. Credit to Ralph for the progress we're making.

Don't sweat it.

Yep. And I thought he was an expensive, crappy signing that we should never have made. I may have been somewhat mistaken.

It's okay. We just need Hoedt to get a run of 6-8 games and we'll soon forget Fonte ever played for us.

Mayday?

Which does make me smirk. How does Boufal fit in any way with Puels approach to footie?!

Good game. Played well. We look decent again. Happy with my £15 investment to watch that; better than a dodgy stream.

On a free. If he can regain some form after his injuries, that's not to be sniffed at.

Heard this? From about 38 minutes. https://www.spreaker.com/user/12250300/mata-offered-man-utd-exit (hopefully the link works). Suggests it's all agreed, and with the PL to make a decision. Don't like the sound of it. Surely there's better options for us elsewhere?

Romeu!!

Who is on airport/earlobe duty today?

It's going to be fine. Les Reed just texted me to confirm he is 'relaxed and confident'. Krueger dropped me a WhatsApp suggesting the 5 pledges are nearly ready. And Gao sent me a Tik Tok suggesting that 'We marchy on!'

Presumably it is a case of no ££££, rather than ineptitude. Whether that is due to the crazy historic signings, or linked to a takeover. It's poor though, whatever the reason. Wonder how Ralph will be if we don't bring in the 2-3 players he needs.

Does this impact membership of SaintsWeb?

Yep. We have a very weak squad now.

How many players did we leave free then! Jesus: we're awful.

Unmarked, 6 yards out. Piss poor goal to concede.

Adams doesn't get much luck does he!

We're really not with it so far. Just a bunch of nothing.

Incredible thing for the captain to come out with. Not a happy dressing room I guess. Cheeky bet on WH to go down perhaps.

Shame this - been a good place over the years. I hope this isn't the death throes of Saintsweb.
