I don't know. I don't really follow it to be honest. Just repeating what my itk mate (NHS executive) said to me today. It's possible I may have misheard or misunderstood, but I don't think so.

Government predictions within the last few hours (not made public). By 9th Jan, UK best case scenario: 1 million new Omicron cases per day. Worst case scenario 2 million per day.

Thought we were poor for most of it but are winning. Will take that every day of the week. Please now a decent second half...

I had the same 433 thought. As far as Zaha goes, hopefully JWP can keep him occupied as he has in the past to good effect.

A late developer, like myself. I was lucky, my first game was 2003.....Saints 4 - Spurs 0 in the cup. That's where it all started.

The degrees of high and low under Ralph have been of bipolar levels. Occasional spells where we seem to be able to beat anyone and other times, more frequently now, we are shocking. Palace an important game. Another shit show and I'm not sure he'll come back from it.

Unless Cab turns out to be that quality we've been looking for. At 40 he could still conceivably dajfu for the foreseeable. At least buy us some time...

6 years? Actually Brad Friedel went on 'till 44 or something didn't he, so I shouldn't jest.

5 year deal?

Who can remember which outfield player ended up in goal, possibly away at Newcastle about 2008? Give or take 3 years? edit: Dexter Blackstock?

Yep, and Elyonoussi's yellow where it looked to me that he got a toe on the ball before any contact with the player. VAR should be looking at these decisions retrospectively. Suspensions are a big deal to a club like ours.

Sad thing is I just knew it was coming.

Need to break this second goal hoodoo.

No fancy, training ground set pieces so far then. Looking to put it on Broja's head by the look of it.

Excellent aggression up front, they all want to score. Broja's so greedy in the box, it's a good thing and it's the sort of hunger to score that we need.

Would like to see KWP again. Edges it over Perraud for me, despite being on his "wrong" side. edit: or both of course if Livra's rested.

Yeah, and he's been criticised in the past for NOT trying new things and being too predictable. Enjoyed the new set pieces against Leicester. Would like to see more of that. We needed a change from Prowse doing the same thing over and over.

Set piece specialists

Loving these set pieces. We needed a change.

That's virtually the team that played Sunday though. I'd be surprised if they don't rotate a few of those, Vardy for example.

Referees excepted.

Broja asking for the ball but is clearly offside for about 10 seconds

Great start.

Big test for Lyanco.
