    It’s a shame that Everton, Newcastle, Burnley and even Palace keep winning, we could be above them now if they’d had a couple of draws instead of wins. It’s nice to look ahead at saints games with more optimism of a good result now though! I’m confident we can give most sides in the league a tough game.

    If our home form had been anything like our away form, we would definitely be in the mix for a European place. Just 3 more home wins would have put us in 7th place, 3 points clear of Arsenal.
    Looking on the bright side, we’ve got the whole of the summer to sort it out for next season.

    Sunday will be a chance to see how tough we can be. City could be on the beach, but that side will still make life very difficult for us even in flip flops.

    I’d like to see how we did going at them (if they let us have the ball) and how we’d cope being countered by them. Stick Oriel in front he back 4 and bomb everyone else forward. could be scoring.

    What the hell was that defending and goalkeeping from Sheff U there?

    It was like watching saints under mark hughes.

    That is dumb. He's pushed, he falls, and the player kicks the ball at him.
    VAR is definitely back.

    It's not VAR in this case it's the handball law itself.

    Be great if they could just leave it to some discretionary power sometimes, a little common sense.

    You can't apply common sense when the law is there in black and white in the rulebook.

    Be great if they could just scrap the rule. Absolutely no need to bring it in last year.

    (Fortunately, given that it's hated by everyone, I have every expectation that it will be scrapped. Just a case of when. It won't be this summer, but maybe next summer?)

    Still can't get over the fact they appointed Mourinho. It's gonna set them back years.







    Brilliant, init? :biggrin:

    Toby must sit on the bench, watch Sanchez get picked ahead of him, and wonder why on earth he agreed to that new contract pre-lockdown.
