What a day. What. A. Day.
Finally home. Was it worth it? Absolutely not
Did you stay after the whistle? Wondering if Russell came over and what reaction he got. I was gone as soon as whistle went.

I was on the stairs trying to get out, but I saw. It was a pretty regular reaction, tbh. He came over pretty close to the front few rows and clapped for a long time. Wasn't much vitriol from what I saw, apart from a small smattering of Saints fans gesturing at him to get out and **** off.
Left for me
(Also the right fwiw)
I call it Sandra
Ok, I've been negative enough - two positives and two things I never thought I'd say:
1. Nathan Wood has looked good in both of his PL appearances so far. I've been pleasantly surprised
2. I never, ever thought I would say this, as I didn't want him within a country mile of a Premier League pitch, but Ryan Manning hasn't disgraced himself. In fact, in recent weeks he's been pretty good. He wasn't great today but he looks less of a liability in the PL than he did in the Championship, so far

On one I completely agree. Was nervous about him starting on Wednesday but thought he did well in tough circumstances and was probably was our best player
On two I partially agree and have mentioned a few times recently that he's done pretty well since coming back into the team. Thought he was poor today though and probably his worst performance this season.
Just went to listen to the interview with Blackmore and had to switch off after a minute after these two absolute gems of quotes.
"We get in their final third more than they get in our final third today"
"Even the last 15 minutes where we throw caution to the wind"
"We get in their final third more than they get in our final third today"
"Even the last 15 minutes where we throw caution to the wind"
It's the hope that kills. Probably easier being a Saints fan now than one of Ipswich or Wolves.
No we didn’t.Just went to listen to the interview with Blackmore and had to switch off after a minute after these two absolute gems of quotes.

And no we didn’t. We were still fannying around at the back with 15minutes to go.

It is shut all weekend so they can stop trees falling onto the road. There was no fallen tree. They obviously didn't want to take any risks after someone was killed in the last storm.
Right that makes more sense then. It was only the very first part of it, presumably that part has a particularly high risk.
The foreplay must last for hours without creating any excitement, then ends up forgetting to shoot.
But does he keep messing around at the back?
But he's never come from behind
For what it’s worth, and in case anyone missed it, RM said that he expects Bednarek to be back for the Spurs and hopes that Ramsdale will be back too.
He’d better hope that the fans will be too!
