Seeing Ismaïla Sarr playing with a swagger & a smile on his face was almost as enjoyable as the result. Great stuff from João Pedro, too who was a menace throughout. Hughes great in the centre and Dan Gosling impressive in his 2nd half outing. More of the same, please

I was in my car;

on the radio. They were talking about GT. My ears pricked up; I assumed he was due in the studio later. Then, it dawned on me that they were talking about him in the past tense and my heart broke.

I’m going to set up a support group for Norwich, Villa, Bournemouth, Watford and West Ham fans. We’re all going to need serious, sustained help after this is finally over & none of us should have to tackle it alone. In the midst of this relentless horror, we must stand together.

This collection of

Odd decision from Southampton to try & sh*thouse their way over the line instead of just playing football; they managed to manufacture a situation that allowed

Craig Cathcart was absolutely imperious for

One of the main jobs for
