Whilst Stephens and Bednarek have been great lately they were always going to have a bad game at some point, and they did today. Credit to Bednarek for the excellent goal but when he committed to the challenge on Traore for the first he needed to make sure he brought him down. The penalty was Stephens not spotting the run quickly enough and then making a stupid tackle when Cedric could possibly have covered. Then the third was Stephens ball watching instead of stepping up. If he took one stride forwards Traore would probably have been offside but he wasn't aware. Still, no point hanging anyone out to dry after the recent run, where they've been great, but that was a really bad game to take no points from going into two tough PL matches now.

Yep. Shouod have tried to dig in for 15 minutes then put some fresh legs on up top.

What?

On. Stephens asleep again.

Let's hope that's offside.

Djenepo and Adam's for Long and Armstrong.

Need to get Romeu in for Long. We're going to **** at the back.

Annoyingly, Cedric might have got there but Stephens wiped him out.

Our ****e defending is back then.

It was Bednarek who slid in on Traore.

Mess. Bednarek had to bring him down.

I know what you mean. It feels like he should have gone to great things. Despite winning the league it feels like he didn't really achieve what he should. A bit like Walcott. I know he's had a good career and his bank balance will be fine, thanks, but it feels like he never found his groove.

It doesn't. There's no one we can sign that is guaranteed to move at a profit and in accounting terms you write off a chunk of capital every year. You think having Lemina, Forster and Carillo on long contracts has made the club more valuable? Apart from that, you're spot on.

Yeah, Rod Wallace was brilliant in 89/90. Genuinely top class.

Sounds like a real ale pub.

Was he asalted?

I think he got some chlorine in his eye.

I'm not in favour of signing someone for the sake of it and obviously January isn't the best time to..... BUT Ralph obviously thought we were so what signal does this send to him if our position is "you can only sign someone of it looks like we might go down". I'll grant you, it's completely consistent with Gao's "strategy" of doing **** all and hoping for the best. The other point is that Ralph must have identified some relatively realistic signings that we/he thought we could get. If we don't get them now, we need to get them in the summer, at which point there might be other interest. If you assume Cedric, Yoshida and Long are leaving then that's three signings just to cover players in the matchday 16. Plus we need a left back if Vokins isn't rated and ideally we need another option in CM. And that's assuming we don't sell anyone else from the first team. Also assumes we can shift Lemina, Carillo, Hoedt, Elyonnousi etc. to some mug again. Chances of that all working out in the same window? Based on previous recent experience, pretty low.

Funny how that MLT goal is never on a highlights reel.

Awesome,thanks for that. LeTiss, Wallace, Rideout. Absolute class.

If you just dab it on your nuts and arse crack it seems unlikely you would inhale it? I guess you need to be careful if you doth venture south on a user.

I have fond memories of grandma’s Tweed. Good way to keep the ball sack / crack area dry over warmer months or should be consigned to the moist dustbin of history? Any thoughts, Saints fans?

Have any of these got a wazzo pair of jugs? I haven’t been paying attention.

"punctuation" - is that really what they mean?

And what does, "she's going to go through some things", mean? Sounds quite sinister.
