They think it's bad now, wait until Martin returns to his spiritual home after Rangers give him the boot

It was going through my mind too. 

There's an inevitability to it, and the Norwich fans are only too aware of it. 🙂

You know, from Home and Away. He would have scored too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Strewth.

Let’s hope he scores on the 14th against our Neighbours

Downes leading a counter attack there!?

The 1990's called. They want their joke back.

Both Home and Away please

Looking more lively

If only we’d kept Kayne Ramsey (Street)

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Fraser just got caught a little there, in getting the pass away. Decent move though. 

[Suhari]

Save Macca!

I’d like for Saints to be on David Brookes’s side by the weekend…

[Farmer Saint]

Stewart almost through again.

[OttawaSaint]

So what is the formation tonight?

[Saint NL]

I don't want to jinx it, but McCarthy has done well so far

[AlexLaw76]

Unlucky from Stewart there when nicking the ball from the defender

The 2010's want their joke back.

 

It was a great save.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

McCarthy alert to keep that one out through the bodies at the corner. 

[Appy]

It’s 2025 and Alex McCarthy is our best goalkeeper 

[Bakovnetski]

Macca master class?

This thread is at a Crossroads. Will it be puns or football commentary?

You’ve strayed outside the rules there

Puns are right up my (Coronation) street

True... and it doesn't get much more scary than that, does it?!

[Saint_clark]

Keeper making multiple saves. Huh.

Sigh, not featuring tonight as cup tied of course. 

[Farmer Saint]

We're a really odd team. We look shit going forward, yet at the end of each game we've created a lot of chances of should have scored 4 or 5...

If you love (The) Archers goal then it could be both...

I'm too busy watching to see if the Archer(s) gets another goal. 

[whelk]

I hope we properly Prisoner Cell Block H those Portsmouth wankers

With Ryan at left back, and Liam Manning in the opposite dugout, this really is turning into a Family Affair.

Two decent ones, two routine ones.

Downes got a bit lucky there

I thought the rule was that only one clone was allowed on a match thread at a time, to stop the duplicate posts? 🙂 

[skintsaint]

Think Baz might be a casualty of Macca's fine game so far for the next fixture.

There was always going to be a Casualty of too many puns before long...

[obelisk]

Some very poor passing from Saints in the final 3rd. Chance handed to them but again they fluff it.

Downes first instinct always seems to be to barge into or leave something on the opposition.

Quite fortunate there not to give away a penalty 

[Saint_clark]

I'd take Stewart off for Downs soon, need to see how he can do up front with someone else.

I'd pick Macca above Baz in a Heartbeat. I'm Berry sure about that.

Hope we don’t see too much of Holby Bishop in our penalty area next month. 

[macca155]

I know he's a bit battered but Wood has put some crunching tackles in today.

You're right. Back to watching to see if our lot can become a Dream Team.

Archer and Downs would for me be too similar to work.

With all these tv puns flying around here, I hope I don’t get to see The Equaliser tonight.

Subs incoming

[sockeye]

Getting a bit negative now.
