andoru Posted 15 September, 2014 Share Posted 15 September, 2014 Unbelievably only one Saints player in it, but still better than the usual none. Pelle got picked as one of the strikers: "The Italian looked good and his two goals against Newcastle made a bad time for under-pressure Magpies manager Alan Pardew considerably worse. After a mass exodus of players at St Mary's during the close season I tipped Southampton to go down. I think I may owe Saints fans an apology." http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/29200736 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of people (saints fans and pundits a like) are eating some humble pie right now we might not do as well as last season but relegation certs we are not.

angelman Posted 15 September, 2014 Share Posted 15 September, 2014 OK, as Doodsy said, fair does to Garth for coming out so quickly and saying that he might be wrong (still a long way to go, but we all know how things are looking). But as for the Team of the Week, it is a little too predictable. If you score a goal you have a chance of being in. If you score a winning goal (esp in a 1-0) then you are almost certain to get in. If you score more than one goal you are likely to get in, depending on how many others there are who score more than one goal. If you play for an "elite" club then you have more chance of getting in. That is the majority, and Senderos proves that this doesn't always apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokyo-Saint Posted 15 September, 2014 Share Posted 15 September, 2014 I wondered who read stuff like this. I thought he was just whistling in the wind but had some info over on the BBC which meant they had to keep him on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 15 September, 2014 Share Posted 15 September, 2014 This is good news! We all know Gareth crooks doesn't have a clue what he's on about so the less our players he picks in his team of the week mean the better they must have played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_Ash Posted 15 September, 2014 Share Posted 15 September, 2014 The bloke is an idiot. Hence he thought Angel de Maria made his debut on Sunday. He did say home debut to be fair. He struggles not to include players from the fashionable teams, two Man City players in defence and they conceded two goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckenham Saint Posted 15 September, 2014 Share Posted 15 September, 2014 How can You not pick Morgen???? The Mans a fool Morgan didn't actually have his greatest game in a Saints shirt. There were a few cases in the first half where Sissoko went past him with relative ease, although Morgan had a good, solid game and scored a great goal, I am sure there would have been midfielders in the league who had a better game than him this weekend. A more surprising omission from the "Team of the Week" for me was Alderwiereld. Obviously he will come up against a lot stronger opposition in a Saints shirt this year, but I don't remember anybody getting past him. He won everything in the air, and one particular tackle sticks in the memory for me where out by the left corner flag late in the second half he got turned inside and out by Cabella and then just when it looked like he was going to beat Toby and go past him he slid in, got all of the ball and left Cabella on the deck.

Cork got much higher, so surely Cork should have been there then... Of course he got 11% because Pelle scored 2 goals, but that doesn't mean he wasn't the best player in the middle Overall in the Premier League. And anyway half the People who vote don't even see the match Edited 15 September, 2014 by Andy Durman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 16 March, 2015 Share Posted 16 March, 2015 (edited) Anyone see what this clown said today?

S-Clarke Posted 16 March, 2015 Share Posted 16 March, 2015 The terry inclusion was a WTF moment - esp. when he said the reason for putting terry in his team was because he nearly scored. He was actually all at sea most of the game. That weekly team of the week thing is just a joke article really. He is just a joke of a bloke, irritates the hell out of me.

jawillwill Posted 17 March, 2015 Share Posted 17 March, 2015 His justification is very odd, even by his standards. Why not give it to the saints player that made the block? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
