I’m not sure I’ve seen as honest an interview as noble has just given.

Does anyone else think that Claude bears a passing resemblance to Derek Zoolander…?

I love playing teams out of form.

How many times do shit clubs go and sack the manager the week before we have to go there?!

That was great timing.

Here we go again, all the pundits want to talk about is how poor Wham were … funny how every game we’ve won this season has been down to the poor opposition… what a coincidence that we always seem to meet teams when they’re having an off day !!

a new club motto maybe …

‘players and managers may come and go but our luck stays true’

Curse of Sky broken?

Ok, JWP to start on Thursday(looked very lively when he came on) and score(anytime for betting purposes) from a free kick. Saints to win 2-0. Possibly VVD or Redmond for the other.

You will almost certainly become a poorer person if you follow my advice. That said i have won enough today to cover my loses for the next month or so.

That stadium looks like a fucking bargain now, I’m glad I chipped in.

Didn’t get to see any of the game, so I’m looking forward to MotD2 tonight. At least we won’t be shunted to the end, if only becasue we’re today’s only match! One thing I noticed from the BBC stats, though, was that we had 18 shots, nine of which were on target. Now i realise that a shot on target could be a scuffed effort that dribbles through to the keeper, or a header straight at him, but even so getting half our shots on target isn’t bad going. I’m sure last season we were a lot worse than that in terms of shooting accuracy.

2nd best shots/shots on target record for an away team so far this season, apparently. They weren’t just shit little dribbling shots either, most were good chances and we really should have scored another two at least. In terms of highlights for MOTD, they should ignore everything to to the 40th minute.

Bit gutted as I was hoping for 0-4. But I’ll take 0-3. :lou_sunglasses:

Couple of excellent saves from Adrian, especially that one we didn’t even get a corner from.

I’m sure one commentator said it equaled the record for the season so far. The accuracy definitely seems to be getting better, although that could have something to do with Long being on the bench for most of the game.

These last 4 performances have been superb

We won that easily at walking pace bodes very well for a busy season that we continue to play against teams having a bad day.

Great turnout in the pub as well hopefully 8 of us now for Milan

4 great performances on the trot, I reckon that XI we put out today would beat most teams in the league. Cedric and Hojbjerg were awesome but the star man for me again was Redmond - he was key to everything we did going forward and he looks a real bargain buy so far for 10m. If he can add goals to his overall play we’ve got a hell of a player on our hands!

Yeah I was hoping for a goal for him, but his finishing was terrible. I was also hoping for a long goal, but JWP scoring will give him confidence. Another clean sheet from our awesome defence.
