Scummer

Because of course, sacking him wouldn't have had any impact on the club as we'd have been guaranteed to replace him with someone even better....

That's on the EFL though. They knew about this before the first leg, they proposed throwing us out, why the hell did they let both matches happen?

One thing I don't understand, why is it only Tonda who has been charged? Surely the head of the scouting department is as responsible? Probably more so as the direct line manager of Salt. It feels like they just went for the headline-grabbing charge.

The defender had already tried pulling him back, before they got into the box. Then there was a very deliberate push, he extended his arm. I don't know why you are characterising it as a 'touch', it was a shove.

Did you stick it all on tonight's match, or a double with Saturday 😉

They've also got the light and dark reds the wrong way round (the very centre should be the lighter red), the saints badge is also off centre, and the puma logo should be fully inside the stripe. But apart from that 😂

We've won 7/8 (win against Boro in the playoffs but level after 90 minutes) of our last 10 matches at home, and haven't lost in our last 11.

It was at 8 this morning, there's stuff in the OS. Jander has had another setback, the new CB has travelled but sounds like he'll be on the bench.

Tonda said (I think at the fans forum) that Larin is much fitter now than when he arrived at the club. As a comparison, Kane is a couple of years older and has averaged about 60 games a year for the past 3 years.

We'd be 3rd without the 4 point deduction.

What did Fellows get booked for? He didn't remove his shirt.

It was the 23rd August, and that was the bank holiday weekend. I remember as I had to leave a couple of minutes before the end to go to Victorious

I not even sure what kind of midfielder Charles is yet? He scored a few goals last year, but mainly from arriving late in the attack (similar to Smallbone when we got promoted). I don't really remember him playing defence splitting passes too often. In fact I watched him for Fulham the other night, I know he's new there but it was basically all simple passes to recycle the ball (many of them backwards). JWP can do all of the above, so not sure why people think he wouldn't be a decent replacement for Charles. A replica isn't necessarily what we want anyway, you could argue we should have 2 midfielders who mainly sit to allow all the attacking players to do their thing. Not many teams play with as many forwards/wingers/number 10s as us.

Watford played Boreham Wood, Barnet, Hansa from the German third tier, and Fiorentina. That would appear weaker than our pre season. I think people are reading too much into a couple of individual errors. We had enough chances to win on Sunday.

Anyone questioning Dobbin after so few minutes, I would suggest going and looking at, say, page 8 of the Azaz thread.
