not sure about the colour but i thought his hair was looking a little more fulsome this evening. maybe that's why he was on the bench, sore from new implants?

Good goal.

An unexpected place to share for sure, but one of those passages that was etched in my brain from years of study. Another one was the opener from the Merchant of Venice: “in sooth, I know not why I am so sad” …though over the last few years pre-Tonda it’s been pretty bloody obvious why I’ve been so sad, o good Sirrah!

from Macbeth (Act 1, scene 3): "But ’tis strange. And oftentimes, to win us to our harm, The instruments of darkness tell us truths, Win us with honest trifles, to betray ’s In deepest consequence.—"

that was hilarious. more like pushed him in the chest to make sure he stayed down!

honestly should have been drafted to saints squad as a commercial decision - shirt sales through the roof

didn't charlie austin and adam armstrong both score on debut?

I remember seeing him score on debut, absolutely clinical in a 1-on-1 and thinking, "we're going to be ok after all"........ we weren't. Consistency and decision making clearly the two things preventing him becoming a top flight striker. Obviously lumping long balls to him would never work but nobody would care about his size if he scored even half the sitters he missed. Interesting summer window coming up!

he can't seem to formulate sentences quick enough for live commentary. unfortunately for him he sounds like Porky Pig when he gets excited. He's generally better on the post match podcast. I like him, I hate it when you watch other coverage and there's a biased ex player from the other team. At least he cares (and rips on Baz).

Feels good to score a shitty scrappy goal, don’t do it often enough

Only just watched the extended highlights. 3 main takeaways for me were: 1. Manning is shit 2. How the fk have we not scored some of those chances 3. Jo Tessem saying when Stewart scores "Finally, someone gets in front of or behind a defender!"

Sometimes when that feeling sets in is just when Saints are most likely to cruelly offer you something that keeps leading you on..... 5-0 incoming

ahh right right, that makes sense. I am not across fotmob, I was just trying to see what minute he got subbed and saw that graphic so chucked it in. Thanks for clarifying!

For anyone interested (not many), he started for Hamburg, played 78 minutes, the team lost and he was the lowest ranked player on fotmob. I want him to do well so they want to keep him permanently. I was just curious so I thought I'd share, and look forward to now forgetting about him for the rest of the season.

THB also seems to be our main goal threat the last few weeks
