If we don’t give out a load of free bbq flavoured crisps to the Preston fans traveling down for this (again) I’ll be disappointed. Come on Saints, somebody in catering have a sense of humour.

I doubt we’ve ever scored two goals in the same match, that were separated by 98 minutes. Must be a new record.

It would almost be tolerable if he didn’t just jog around, like he didn’t give a f**k, the rest of the time. If he was a proper Gattusso, blood and thunder, player who went into every challenge like his opponent had just slapped his wife, then I could forgive him for seeing the red mist occasionally.

It did look like Mara swung an arm at him as he ran past.

I don’t think I’ve gone that nuts at a goal since Gabbiadini equalised in the cup final. Absolute limbs, although truth be told it was far more than we deserved from that second half performance. I still don’t think we’ll trouble the top two but the weekend’s results will be more than a little laxative for the three above us.

So the cork did work.

I believe it's known as 'edging'.

A bit of a difference between slaughtering animals bred for food and doing it for sport. I love a good prawn cocktails but I don't tend to go out hare coursing if Saints aren't playing on Saturday.

Couldn’t you have put all that effort into finding us some cheap hotel deals in West Bromwich?

Literally every Arab country, terrorist group and militia which denies Israel's right to exist as a country at all. That's been explained Christ knows how many times, we're going around in circles here, I'm done.

I'm being silly? None of these arguments make any sense, people are just doing ridiculous mental gymnastics to try and avoid accepting what's staring them in the face. How can you say that Arabs are not imposing norms on that piece of land, with a straight face? I've just explained which human rights Jews would have to give up if they lived in a Palestinian state, people seem absolutely determined to either stick their head in the sand or bail out like egg did and just say, "that's their culture."

Jacob Rees-Mogg is a member of our government. He’s a ludicrous, God-bothering, caricature of a conservative, straight out of Python’s Upper Class Twit of the Year contest. Do I care? No. All I care about is the rules they make me live by, they can believe in whatever they want. However you try and dress it up, the rules Israelis are forced to live by are far more palatable than in any of their neighbouring Arab states, especially if you’re a woman, homosexual, political opponent or just not particularly religious. The fact that aintforever had to hop on an eight hour flight to Kuala Lumpur to try and prove me wrong on just one of those issues sort of proves my point.

As do many of the hard right elements in Europe and N. America, that’s not the law of the land though, is it. Well done, you’ve named a Muslim state 4,000 miles away in a separate part of the world. That completely negates Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas, Saudi Arabia and all the other hardcore rulers in the region who rule with an iron fist. Amazing. So you can’t see anything wrong with that argument that a Jewish person might object to? Human rights? No thanks, that’s not our culture.

I’m sure those same states would be happy enough to tolerate Jewish people living on that land. Just so long as they’re a second class ethnic minority, who submit to strict Islamic law and give up on silly Jewish, secular ideas such as voting, women’s rights, gay bars, music festivals, freedom of expression, clothing and apostasy.

The promotion being, ' free in every packet of cornflakes'.

No it doesn’t, we’ve consistently been 10-15 points off the top of the table all season. That’s not about to drastically change in the final month. We’re fourth and this week’s results have just made us fourthier.

Well it’s not the greatest source but apparently there are 36 sovereign nations which don’t acknowledge Israel’s right to exist at all. https://brilliantmaps.com/israel-foreign-relations/

Probably quite a few, unfortunately for them Israel’s military is a bit too good to actually enforce such a policy.

I clicked on that link and for a second thought the adverts were part of the article.

His pitiful contribution this season has come almost entirely from late sub appearances when he has a huge fitness advantage. Somehow he still manages to look sluggish and off the pace.

But only because the teams above us have also lost games they should’ve won. Ipswich lost a game they were winning in the 94th minute, Leicester lost against Millwall and QPR, Leeds have just failed to score at home to a very sub-standard Sunderland.

Nobody looks consistently special, even the top three. I’d say in an ideal world we end up with Ipswich third and Norwich sixth. The last thing the Tractors will want is a highly charged local derby, which also happens to be their biggest bogey fixture.

It’s as if nobody wants to win this league. Every time someone goes top they lose their next game and end up third.

After being superb at Ipswich for 65 minutes and getting nothing, I’ll take that.

Martin’s teams have also been very entertaining at times this season and everyone is convinced he’s got the worst goalkeeper ever to play football, not to mention two strikers who can’t hit a barn door in Adams and Mara. We’re talking about two managers whose worlds have never overlapped, playing in different leagues with different players. Given the choice, I’d just about prefer Martin, who isn’t without his faults, over Puel, who isn’t without his attributes.
