    Awful defending from Huddersfield and Fulham today. Again. But apparently we should be expecting both of them to fly past us in the league...

    (Forget 35 points for safety. 25 will be enough at this rate.)

    Could be a battle of the six-pointers for the year. For what it's worth, the records of the bottom seven against one another (I'd include West Ham, but incredibly, they haven't faced any of the other seven point-a-game-or-worse teams yet):

    Burnley: 5 points in 4.
    Palace: 7 points in 4.
    Saints: 5 points in 3.
    Cardiff: 5 points in 3.
    Fulham: 3 points in 3.
    Newcastle: 3 points in 3.
    Huddersfield: 2 points in 3.

    So on that score, we're doing okay. Can't really afford too many more home draws in those matches, however.

    Rumour on the Leicester board that Puel was on board the helicopter.

    I think it really unlikely. Also saw an insider report that Puel had travelled with Amarty to hospital.

    I think it was just a BBC reporter speculating to be honest. No one in the media really knows anything at the moment.

    It seems the Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was on the helicopter but apart from the crew it isn’t known who else was on board.

    I find myself thinking back to when we lost Markus, and the outpouring of grief from Saints fans.

    Does anyone think the game on Tuesday is likely to go ahead? I imagine that Aircrash investigators will still be working there and the club are hardly likely to be in the frame of mind to play.

    That would be the main reason, I don't recall us calling off a match because of Markus and Chelsea because of Matthew Harding.

    Bound to be cancelled. Even if anyone wanted the game to go ahead (which they won't), one side of the stadium will still be cordoned off by the Air Accident investigators. Should be off out of respect.

    From memory, it was the MK Dons chairman who offered the postponement.

    Arsenal are becoming quite the 2nd half team.

    They never bother scoring in the first half! Their second was a bit dodgy though!

    After Watford's goal last season I'm not particularly sympathetic towards Palace. **** happens.
