Because all the shops are shut and there’s sod all else to do.

That would be nice but I live in hope

Makes sense but I’ll take the results so far.

I was just about to write the same thing. That move yesterday was crisp and snappy. At home it’s pass back, plod plod, pass sideways, plod plod, pass wide, plod plod, pass it back again, plod plod...

VPN ?

Very good Another errant apostrophe?

Moi? Heaven forfend!

He played well today.i think having a settled back four makes a big difference.

Throwing a strop.

Well there’s a surprise. Well done Obafemi.

Obviously Chelsea players can’t get booked.

It has been taken over by Christians but is not exclusively a Christian festival.

They try to arrange ‘local’ derbies over this period. That doesn’t explain why Saints were drawn away at Newcastle on New Years Day though.

I guess you didn’t get the message? As the Pope might say, “Peace on all off you”. Merry Christmas one and all.

The feast of Saturnalia in Rome predates all of that. The festival was taken over later by the early Christians. But as we all say, Peace on Earth and goodwill to all

‘giggly with the mrs’ ? Are you offering yours? No chance round at my place

Oh really? I can remember several underhit passes.

It doesn't have to be in our midfield

He started to go towards Grealish and then stopped well short and turned side on. It’s easy to keep your head out of the way of a shot if you’re looking straight at it but he did his best to avoid it altogether. He should have run headlong towards Grealish and at the same time letting him know that he was coming. At the very least it gives the attacker something else to think about and that might be the difference between flying into the top corner or going wide of the post. As has been mentioned above, this ‘turning away’ happens a lot with our players.

Yes indeed, one of the all-time greats. Not spectacular but deadly effective. I saw his first goal on his debut for Tottenham against Coventry. A trademark far post header, if I remember correctly.

But they don’t tend to lead to a goal conceded.

It’s just occurred to me that he is ok with glancing headers and has scored a few goals from them. It’s meeting the ball smack in the middle of his forehead that he seems to have trouble with.
