Lighthouse

Hard to say without seeing him play but given that it was JS giving way for Vest, I’d expect it to be MS and JB in future.

Looks like we can add Right Said Fred to the celebrity ‘free thinkers’. I had been wondering what their take on it all was.

Another quid in the 9-0 jar.

The flippin’ space in this City defence...

With you there. I’d understand if it was Songs of Praise or Gardner’s World but who the frig is getting upset by swearing at a football game?!

Not bothered, we’ll be nowhere near either of them this season.

Charlie Austin?

It seemed a fairly straightforward choice up against Wood, especially as he’s done that effectively in the past. Watford last year springs to mind.

It wasn’t pretty but it’ll do.

A whole minute to play and the ‘taters are talking as if we’ve got it in the bag. 🙄

Ah, shame.

Jesus, is McC on a bungee?

No, we’ve had plenty of these performances with him in the team.

Other than replacing a striker with a much worse player, I’m not sure what we can do. Also, wow. Not touched the ball in their box this half.

Awful back pass and concrete feet. Big let off.

I’m so glad Barnes is injured. It’s like playing a sexually frustrated orc when he’s on the pitch.

I’ll take that, after the last couple of years.

He checked his run slightly, hoping Bednarek would run into him. Clever play but not a pen.

Great play!

Windy, evening game in the North against a team in bad form. All the ingredients for a comfortable Saints win. 👍

God, Barry is dull as a pundit.

I guess we disagree then but he would have played more games against better opponents here than he will for PSV. Also, it didn't harm Peter Crouch when he was here. Or Beattie, Ake, Doucoure, Alan Smith, Kewell, Defoe... you get the idea. Grealish is 10 minutes of dodgy wifi from being on that list too.

Phew!

Except he quite obviously wont be sitting on our bench and playing well in even a bottom half Prem team looks better on your CV than playing well against Willem II and De Graafschap.

You’re right. I could have sworn I’d read it was the latest.
