Sour Mash

And can someone show Martina how to take a throw in.

Cracking point, great defensive effort from all concerned, fair play to McQueen in particular, what a week he's had. Still think Man City are the best team in the league, this point helps balance out some of those dropped earlier in the season. Fee moans; Clattenburg giving so many 50/50s their way, often followed up with a booking. Games like that, Austin doesn't help enough no matter how hard he tries, doesn't have the pace to stretch their back line or hold the ball up and make it stick for a bit. We're very reliant on VVD/Fonte/Romeu in such a game. Such quiet support from both sides, amusing to see football tourists coming along for the spectacle of English football and just getting that. Would imagine Boufal will start on Weds, definitely needs a few 90mins under his belt.

Exactly this. Wouldn't sack him for it though.

That's the one, pity it didn't fully catch on and take off.

What were the words to the Markus Liebherr saviour/masterplan song?

We were much the better team, ridiculous we haven't beaten these or Be'er Sheva. Rodriguez is way off his level from 13/14, don't think he'll ever get back to that level.

Just him, no one else.

Stick your details up and tell me that to be ny face. Pay your fiver and send it private message.

Well I am right then, as that's my point. It's clearly not our biggest game in recent history thankfully. No club rests players and has plenty of empty seats for their biggest game. For those looking for a drink out here, the Navigli Canal area is the only bit of town where there's a n actual proper run of pubs for a crawl

To be honest I didn't think he'd cut it. Proving me wrong so far. How long left on his contract with us?

Unlikely, but decent Centre Back competition would get my vote. Not easiest to source at the best of times, let alone January window.

Not much in it then, dull fixture all round.

Depends what's at stake. Old Trafford mid season or the KC to win to stay up or get to Wembley?

Nothing wrong with being excited about it, no-one has suggested otherwise.

Most people I know would go and be buzzing to see Saints in Europe full stop, playing class football and competing, regardless of the ground the game is played in.

You pity me? You remind me of those noddy fans of people like Exeter that get all giddy because they get drawn at Old Trafford or Anfield and go along for a day out.

Who's not looking forward to Thursday's game?

Good example of my earlier point.

Cheers, handy little summary that.

No its not, not at all bigger. Just people getting over excited and giddy about going to a European football match.

I thought the £25k from Saints was poor.

Agree with this. Has Forster ever got even close to saving a penalty? He'd have more chance if he just stood still.

Possibly agree re Hojbjerg as a replacement for Romeu, but Yoshida or Gardos for Van Dijk just further reinforces my point!
