SAFC 2-1 Blackpool (A)
SAFC end a tumultuous week in which two players proved to be something the fans didn’t know they were. Darren Bent is money-grabbing arse, and Kieran Richardson actually quite decent. As expected, SAFC started in a 4-5-1, although what did go against expectation was Richardson in the hole behind...

You may love him or you may hate him, but one way or another you feel something about him. Part of that...
