Home tie. Replay. The wounded gladiators return to the arena. Hornets in their golden chariots. Saints surfing the silver lining of clouds. The spectators, adorned in togas of red and white, jostle for position in the stands. They gorge on pies and dormice. More wine! Their bacchanalian cries echo around the ground. More wine! More ale! A few strays are already heading to the vomitorium. Emperor Refigula, fresh from making love to his wife, Incitātus, blows his majestic whistle and battle is joined. Anyway, 4-1 Saints.
Some protesters will be outside painting graffiti on the walls Romanes eunt domus, which will of course get corrected to Romani ite domum Interesting fact No1. Honey bees in Asia deal with those naughty killer hornets by all piling on top and causing the hornet to overheat. I don't think Saints will need to do that though, but it works so if Russ needs a plan bee... Interesting fact no2. Hornets are only about 1" long so if there's anything bigger than that out there against us, then we're probably not playing against actual hornets just human footballers who identify as large predetary members of the genus Vespa.

Whilst I'm totally fine with Holgate's loan having ended, it might potentially lead to KWP not getting this midweek off. Which isn't ideal.
