    We’ve finally got a striker. A proper one, who scores goals.

    First Saints player since Beatts in 2002-03 to score 10 PL goals before Christmas.

    I said when we signed him that if he stays fit he will score goals. I admit I didn't anticipate 11 before Christmas though!

    Incidentally the top 3 scorers are all English: Abraham, Ings and Vardy.

    Looking at the table, we all say our defence is crap. It is, but take out the 9-0 (I know you can't, but imagine it was just 1-0), our goal difference would actually be quite good.

    Screenshot 2019-12-21 at 18.16.59.png

    I know the 9-0 happened (well 5-0 actually as I left at half time), but we aren't as crap as we think.

    Every team has a big loss, but let's hope the 9-0 was an anomaly.

    Even if it was only a normal scoreline like a 3-0 loss - we still have the 3rd worse GD in the league haha. Lets not clutch at those straws

    I think @thereisonlyoneno7 is on the chianti if he thinks our goal difference would be quite good at -7 and ignoring the 9-0 <cheers>

    Shortest day is manana, as the solstice takes place at around 4.17 am GMT. Still great to see a SFC win.

    Saints will stay up due to their away record and Ings scoring. Surely home form will pick up in the New Year. So 42 points looking a lot more realistic. 50 would have been my minimum at the start of the season, but that looks a long way off.

    I think you will find that they all last 24 hours.

    You’re right of course, but the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids always celebrate the Sabbats on the 21st. Easier to remember.
