    I thought the same after watching the replay. I didn't see it in real time, but after watching the replay, Arma definitely changed the flight of the ball - enough I think to make it go out of the keeper's reach. Interestingly, immediately after it happened, watch Arma celebrate as he was claiming it from the first second :)

    There is no debate. Flight of ball only matters for own goals. Any touch, even a brush of a shirt, alters who gets the goal. I have lost (and gained) one or two that way myself!

    As a change from the ‘Martin out’ chat we’ve been doing over and over the last few weeks I thought I’d look back at Martins first game

    As I’m sure you all knew I am a genius and my perspective was spot on immediately

    Others @Osvaldorama not so much

    Ah, the sheer excitement of starting this season was just amazing wasn't it. Genuinely the most excited I've been about a season starting since the days of Koeman.

    Championship, best league in the world. Proper football. Proper fans. Proper league.

    Helped that we were one of the best teams with loads more money than everyone else as well

    We will be next year when we get about £75m in fees for Ramsdale. Fernandes and Tyler.

    Would hope for more than that tbh but yes we should be well off and have a good enough squad to challenge anyway

    Pocket the money we get, get promoted, spunk another £150m on players and get relegated again. Rinse and repeat

    From a Saints fan point of view, that certainly helps of course!

    Even speaking as a neutral, I still think the championship is one of the best leagues in the world. Indeed, I follow it far more closely than I do the PL.

    I think that would be a horrendous underpayment!
