Sheaf Saint

Yeah you're probably right.

If Johnson were to resign as PM, he won't lose his livelihood. He'll still have his MPs salary to top up all his inherited wealth and assets. Matt Hancock had to go after being found out flouting the rules his government had set, so should he.

Brighton v Palace tonight. A Brighton win will keep us where we are in 11th, but would put them 6 points ahead of us. Anything other than a home win and Palace would leapfrog us (at least until tomorrow), but Zaha is away at the AFCON and their record without him is like ours without Stu.

Technically, Bertrand wasn't part of the back 4 that conceded 9 goals, but I get your point. Given the savage criticism both he and Bertrand have been getting from the Leicester fans, I'd say it's not just us.

Regular starter in a mid-table PL team, Polish international, long contract. Reckon we could actually get more for him if we were inclined to sell.

Oh the grand old Duke of York He had ten thousand men And a fair few women as well, it would appear.

Anyway, enough about Newcastle and Villa.... Any fresh Saints rumours anyone?

That's exactly what my Villa supporting workmate says. Oppo teams were scared to over commit down that side when Grealish was playing, and how he's gone Targett's weaknesses are much more exposed. I think we did very well to get the fee we did for him TBH.

True, but it would be nice if these days happened more frequently than once every 4 years!!!

The prospect of Small and Tino as the wing backs in the formation we played last night is a very exciting one. Not sure where that leaves KWP though.

Just watched the highlights again. That through ball from Romeu for Broja's goal! 😍😍

This is a really good point actually. With his inside knowledge he would have been able to give Ralph clear instructions on how to neutralise their threat and penetrate their defence.

Incredibly happy right now. Didn't see that coming after they equalised. So good to actually put a team to the sword for once and finish the game with a comfortable lead. Feels like it's been far too long since we experienced that. Good run of form at the moment (coinceidence that it's since Forster came back in?) and it was important to get those 3 points tonight ahead of some tricky fixtures. A weakened squad, an unfamiliar formation, a tired team after ET 3 days ago, and we still punished the opposition and kept pressing til the end. Can't find anything about that to be unhappy about (though I'm sure somebody will!)

Ha! I scrolled straight past that picture earlier without clocking what it was! 🤣🤣

Yes, of course

It's the Woot and the O RLY that did it for us!

There it is - 67 mins. Tella. 4-1!!!!!!!!

64 mins and no "injury" yet 😕

Good sub as well. Redmond has been ineffective so far.

We've conceded the most headed goals this season. Hardly surprising when you look at the quality of our CBs.

Interesting question - could VAR disallow a goal if it shows that the ball went out of touch in the build up?

FFS that's the second time this season an opposition player has got away with a blatant second yellow (El Ghazi being the first). Yet in our last two games we've had players sent off perhaps harshly for two yellows. It's bollocks.

He's got a case, but it would have been incredibly harsh to disallow it.
