He was immense. A goal plus two assists. What a great shame injuries have meant we've hardly been able to enjoy such a gifted footballer. His deft finish today was a sublime touch as was the calm way he perfectly set up Charles for the winner - and what a goal that was by the way, top drawer to curl that in at such a crucial time.

Blimey... You know a Prime Minister's in trouble when they get rattled by the likes of Ed Davey... #PMQs

Do you think we should have been praising the coach and players in the first half? Most of us judge what we are seeing and comment accordingly. You may wear red and white tinted glasses that allow you to smugly take the higher moral ground and I have no issue with that but no need to sneer at others.

2.22, (the guy quitting as a Leicester Fan) was my highlight

Did you mean you would slip him one ?

The only disappointment (other than the shitf-est on the first half) was that it was witnessed by probably our worst away following (in terms of numbers) for years. I say as an armchair fan...

I don't think Parker will last the season. Just a hunch

Whoever starts, they need to analyse the first half of last night’s game and do the exact opposite. Play a target man, move the ball quicker, don’t aim for 700+ passes across the back 4, show for the ball, play into midfield, press, get stuck in and win 2nd balls.

Surely the debating society should be confident of winning the debate. Nothing to be afraid of if you have faith in the strength of your position.

I'd slip him a one year contract extension either way, if he takes it - although he may want a longer deal somewhere. He'd only be 30, he's clearly got some class, and he would be an option in the Prem to come off the bench for, hopefully, the World Class striker we sign in the summer. Plus a one year deal would protect us from his recurring injury problems. There would be a whole host of Championship teams that would take a punt on him in the summer, if we released him, even with his injury record.

TBF something radical like that might be the only thing that could save him. We'd bicker about that for two years and not talk about how useless Labour are.

I want a cup run, even if it's to the next round and we come up against Arsenal, City or Liverpool. It will boost morale. We know we can beat Leicester, we know they are a poor side and we know not to let the first half from yesterday happen again. And yet... there is a little tiny weenie, miniscule piece of me that wants us to concentrate on the League. It's tricky. I do not think we should make sweeping changes, this isn't the Carabao. We need to put out a competitive side with maybe a few changes that won't completely diminish us in quality. It's a tie where, if we win, great. But one that if we lose, with our Championship play-off credentials becoming more important, it wouldn't be the end of the world. Leicester will probably think the same, being that they're now firmly in a relegation battle, which makes me think they may not be up for it as much as they were in the first half yesterday. Also Mukasa, who was good last night on his debut, can't play against us as he is cup tied Personally my team would be something like: Peretz (McCarthy is out and I'm not sure I want to see what George Long is like unless I have to). Jelert (Rest Bree for the League) THB Wood (or Quarshie but Wood seems to be the bench option currently for Tonda) Welington (he could be rested for Manning but against Fatawu, Leicester's only decent player, I wouldn't feel comfortable) Charles (for Downes who I'd give a rest to) Bragg (Jander needs a game off) Matsuki (rest Fellows) Azaz Edozie (Scienza rest, plus I just like Edozie.) Stewart Essentially I'd keep the spine the same, although I've changed both CMs I still consider Charles as a first choice. CM is the position we can rotate without a drastic dip in quality.

If we are still in the Championship, then he should get a new contract. Giving one to him or not after a promotion is a harder puzzle. I think if we managed promotion this season we'd need a massive overhaul of the squad like Sunderland had.

Perfectly

That's one of the least controversial things someone from reform has said.Noticing reality.

I get that but let's be honest it's a flippant comment made on social media years before he has any chance of power. I think it's incredibly unlikely that he will actually end up removing funding from universities. I think his point was more that the threat of something like that would be enough to reverse course. I'd much prefer that the university itself is having words with these societies to prevent stuff like this because it's a terrible look for their reputation if nothing else.

I disagree. I thought it was interesting to hear the perspective because I like to hear different points of view even if I strongly disagree. His argument seems to be that he wants very strong immigration and even if he thinks deporting everyone is unlikely, he believes that by aiming for that he's likely to get stronger policies. I can sympathise with someone who is upset at the rate and amount of demographic change but I certainly don't agree with what he sees as a solution. I thought the podcast hosts made some decent counter points too.

If Burnley haven't sacked him at this point of a bad PL season, why would they in the summer? He has been good in the Championship. If Forest stay up I doubt there'll be a sacking there either.

Agreed. Prime Brexit/Reform, being factually incorrect!

No, no, no. Macca (if not fit then Peretz) Jelert Quarshie Stephens Manning Jander Bragg Matsuki Azaz Edozie Larin Bench: GK, Bree, Wood, Romeu, Charles, Stewart, Archer, Robinson, nipper

Lets see what comes out of the Tondbola

Inclined to agree, but surely there has to be some kind of dependency on appearances built into the contract...?

It was a miracle. On teletext Saints went straight from 3-1 down, way after finishing time to 4-3 final score. Why was I looking at teletext? At half time I'd had enough , I hated Saints, I hated football, I hated how I felt about football so I decided to watch BBC 4 instead and stop looking at my phone. But there's always teletext and I couldn't resist a quick peak every now and again. Apparently they had problems and I was beginning to wonder why none of the matches were finishing. So after them winning the league and finding Richard 3rd this was the third miracle of Leicester.

Scoresheet is prime Brexit / Reform. Stick that up your pipe, open border, tree hugging, toxic empathy ninnies. You can take your Mukasas, your Dakas, and your Fatawus and I'll raise you STEWART, STEPHENS, MANNING, CHARLES. Rule Brittania. Old gits, who can't accept it is them who ain't what they used to be, not the world at large, determined to give your grandkids and kids a more miserable life than you had, this one's for you!

Yep. I've watched an awful lot of Saints away games and not once seen us come back and win from 2-0 down. I missed the Preston game in 2008 and was gutted about that at the time. I go less often these days, so have to accept that I will probably miss these once in a lifetime experiences, but am envious of all that attended. I've always said that you have to experience the lows to truly appreciate the highs (To do that in 90 minutes of football is something special). Anyone that follows Saints has had plenty of lows over the last five years to prepare the way for this high. What a buzz it must have been driving home!
