An incredibly frustrating few games, but we have some really talented young players, who play really good football to watch, give their absolute all every single game, and go toe-to-toe with the best teams in the division. Back them to the fucking hilt. #SAFC

Interesting seeing mixed opinions on Tommy Watson’s performance. I didn’t think he looked out of his depth or particularly good. Some bright moments, some poor ones, as you’d expect for a kid making his third ever start and first at home. Happy he’s getting a chance. #SAFC

When the right riot, they’re ’protesters.’ Actual protesters? ’Hate marchers.’ They’re ‘concerned citizens’ and ‘patriots.’ The rest? ‘Traitors’. They’re never ‘fascists,’ just ‘normal people.’ The rest? ‘Commies’. They have ‘opinions.’ The rest have a ‘woke mind virus’ Does my head in.

Think last two games have shown what a huge miss Jobe has been. Natural for teams chasing a goal to rush right up (and push you right back) but Jobe best we have at operating in tight spaces, protecting the ball and winning free kicks. All invaluable in protecting leads. #SAFC

Die Hard is famously about Santa with no beard in a tank top punishing some naughty kids. Instead of a chimney he goes through the air vents and instead of coal he gives them lead (bullets). I could be wrong.

whoever said “if you’re watching die hard in June I’m like cool, die hard! if you’re watching muppet christmas carol in June I’d worry about you” won the argument but. with that said. if watching it on Christmas is a fun treat, it’s a Christmas movie. life is short. hell, put the tree up in October

Die Hard is about a man who learns to put his wife’s needs ahead of his ego, on Christmas, while stopping evil and casting them down from the heavens, in a building with a pregnant woman who has no place to deliver safely. Also, Karl dies and is reborn.
