Dark Munster

Yes, FF dropped the ball after their player collided with him. In that situation the benefit of the doubt is always given to the goalie, accidental or not. For example, Romeu had a goal disallowed for a far more minor goalkeeper infringement (can't remember which match). On the other hand Kane's goal looked onside to me. That's the one Spurs should be complaining about.

Saints are good at proving that. Nicholl -> Br*nf**t, Luggy -> Wigley, Pearson -> 2 Dutch Jokers, Puel -> The Clown.

Bednrek makes sense since the other 2 CBs are out with Covid. But yes, Walcott. FFS

To be fair we've been doing that pretty well throughout the pandemic.

Also, Ryan was a free agent so Leicester conned themselves.

I have mixed feelings about Bertie's failures with them. I'm glad he is on their payroll now, but having said that he was a great buy and servant for us, and left at the right time and on good terms.

Sigh. For the umpteenth time, deaths are the tip of the iceberg. It's the long Covid (organ damage, possibly permanent) that's the major concern (along with overflowing hospitals). Now omicron may hopefully result in lower long Covid cases, but the jury's still out on that.

Which we blow in the second half.

So we need to make sure that almost everything is fine for him at the club, but not quite all. Any suggestions? Make his tea too cold at half time?

If true that's great. Source? I like a previous poster's suggestion: any anti-vaxxer player who goes down with it should not count toward the club's quota for postponement. So if half of more of the squad is infected and aren't vaccinated, tough luck, match goes ahead, playing with 7 if necessary, or 3-0 forfeit.

No it wasn't, it was that hospital pass by Salisu that led to it. He (Salisu) was absolutely shite in the first half, but fortunately improved after the break. Lyanco was ok for the match I thought.

Agreed, he did ok, and it made sense to take Broja off to protect him for Saturday. On the other hand, the less said about that waste of space Walcott the better. And I have finally given up on Djenepo, he is hopeless. I really wanted him to do well, and he has skill and energy, but the PL is beyond his level it seems.

Hopefully Salisu can improve. He was awful in the first half.

Agreed with all the others about the Tino/Perraud situation. The Palace attack looks scary (plus Edouard mini goal drought, gulp). Especially with old Willy in goal. I'd happily take a draw if offered it now.

Are they singing that they're a bigger club than us?

Interesting choice of gif, the ultimate American icon.

Damn your head!

Umm, I did. The crocked version of Ings, admittedly.

Yep, they've got nothing much to worry about if they go down. A minor inconvenience. Unfortunately it's the opposite for us!

Dear God, please no. It'll be difficult getting a result with 11 men, but with 10 it'll be next to impossible.

Come on Ralph, stop blaming others.

Yes he was, a great signing. And a timely departure.

At his age I'm not sure Willy can keep it up for that long. One month is probably the best we can hope for.

One positive thing, Big Willy is good at saving penalties apparently. Remember he was supposed to come on in the dying minutes of extra time in the 2019 Carabao Cup Final for the shootout, but Chelsea's goalie at the time Arrizabalaga refused to be substituted.

Apart from Ings I'd say we're stronger in all other departments compared to last year, or at least as good (or as bad when it comes to goalies). And Ings was only fit for about half the season, so arguably Broja and AArmstrong could turn out to be on par to half an Ings. I think the main problem is there aren't 3 out and out crap teams below us this time. Even "doomed" Norwich are only 6 points behind, and they have already beaten us.
