Dark Munster

Romeu, Bednarek, Gunn very good. Boufal, Adam's, Djenepo, Cedric, Yoshi good. Vestergaard nightmare, but I have sympathy: he should be nowhere near left back.

In fairness he was right, the donkey still does have a part to play at Saints. Draining about £20K per week from the payroll while on loan, along with installment payments on the £19M fee.

That is a nasty run of fixtures. But if we can scrape 5 or 6 points from them (and 4 from the next 2) we'll emerge with 13 or 14 points from our first 13 matches, having played all of the big 6. It'll be all smooth sailing after that!

Those slagging off Cedric for the goal ignore that it was a world class strike. It's not like he made a terrible back pass that let a player run in one on one with the goalie, or some other blunder. And some of his crosses into the box were very good. Certainly much better than he usually does. He played ok, and is a good back up/alternative to Valery.

Most of us predicted that. I can only think of 4 people who would slate you for that, Reed, the clown, the donkey himself, and his mum.

Vestergaard mom, even without the goal. Superb. Best match for us I reckon. Romeu very good too. Adam’s crap. Hoj poor. Cedric good, and even put in some decent crosses. Danso’s second yellow: stupid, stupid, moronic. Hopefully he’ll learn like Vallery did.

Yes, the 4-1 was awful, but we beat them twice that season (once under Wigley in the league, and knocked them out of the cup under Saggy). So we actually did better against them during that terrible season than against most other teams.

Exactly this. Some people need to grow a pair. I couldn't name one current player from their Mickey Mouse club. We are rightfully several classes above them, in all aspects (squad, manager, stadium). I 4-1 can't wait for us to give those minnows a jolly good rogering.

Yes, but you spelt it wrong: Eluselessi

His crossing certainly couldn't be any worse!

He's already dodgy at right back.

Palace still have Zaha and Roy is a decent club manager. Brighton outplayed us with 10 men for much of the match. Early days, but they look much improved from last year. It could be a real dog fight at the bottom this year.

I thought yellows in cups don't count toward the league tally? Only red cards cross over.

Or in Long's case, 2 seasons.

Bookie or blackjack card counter? Can’t think of many other ways of making a living from gambling.

On Saturday I’m fearing a 180 mph car crash.

That's a good point. If he stays that's a definite plus for this window.

Most of us were happy with Hoedt and Moi at the time. So the jury's still out.

Don't you mean 2 first team keepers and a tree? But anyway, better too many than too few.

It's sadder if no-one comes to your funeral. Just make sure that you go to all your friends' funerals when they pass away, or they won't come to yours.

I also remember laughing when Monaco wanted £19m for a donkey and thinking they must be mad, nobody is that stupid and desperate.

In contrast to a Trumpist: "A person who reasons with idiotic and false arguments"

Did you watch England vs Netherlands?

Anything less and it’s all over.
