  1. Going to be interesting as tickets have been sold for games and now venues are going to change , that will lead to refunds not vouchers , think a lot of people will be mindful of finances and season tickets won't be a priority so many people will not be returning . The clubs need to think this thru all the way, if clubs are going to get relegated from the Prem without fans there to support or encourage cn you image the fallout, yet the other leagues unable to play how does that work? If the Prem plays then so should ALL the other leagues, lets hope the GovT tell them no way Players uncertain? what about the rest of the club staff ? seen plenty of people who are not convinced lockdown relaxation is the right thing yet Football isnt a Bill Shankly saying , its become just money
  2. Honestly I dont see the desparation to finish the current season , just pack it in now, plan for the new season , I'm a season ticket holder but can't honestly say that I'm missing it , maybe thats a reflection of Saints performances at home . Every game to be televised hmmm can see that causing a few arguments at homes around the country, especially as they won't be free to air nor will be able to watch in a pub. Actually I find the playing behind closed doors pretty direspectful to the fans , they won't do that for the other leagues , yet they all play to the same rules
  3. scrap the leagues, no Pompey promotion possible , no Bompey relegation and Scousers no Prem title although if they extended it to Champs League they'd be Champs for 2 nd year despite being knocked out! downside is all the loan players comeback
  4. expensive game if we not only lose but also JWP
  5. Well Romeo was the right sub as midfield of two were not controlling the ball long enough or well enough and Redmond well not sure what he was doing woefully out of form, may as well of taken off Djenpo for his lack of touches in first half , if he could have the first touch of Long who on the whole had a reasonable game, won most headers then he be quite a player. But that sub needed to be made in 1st half , you could see the shape wasnt right, there was no pressing the ball like previous games , can Sky now f off and leave us alone at St Marys Ralph is a busted flush , he doesn't react generally his subs are like for like , doesn't move the shape or team around , was crying out for Armstrong earlier but if the team just moved the ball forward quicker instead of looking back and sideways , the number of times McCarthy didn't let go of the ball quickly , we had no one who would put the ball behind the RB for Djenpo to run at , what was JWP there for? freekicks and corners see to be the sum total of his game ,
  6. why can't they record the crowd singing OWTS and then actually play that back as the team comes out ? then as crowd reacts they can blend it out then we wouldn't be competing with the music but actully be the music
  7. whats Erwin Koeman upto these days? if we think Rohl was the brains , surely Erwin must be worth a shout ,
  8. Either he needs help as his match management is way off form , or he needs to go its as simple as that. Today the last sub was why? Wirth his injury record 4 minutes with short warm up what the f.... Adams for Redmond needed to happen whilst we had Boufal putting balls into the box, ideal time to get him off the mark , Ralph is well .............. neither reactive or proactive , he's inactive
  9. Well now 24 hours have passed and my mood has not improved , I sat in the stands yesterday watching, never sat in Northam before and been able to see the pitch! Thought previous results at home were bad and showed a lack of spirit but yesterday will be a scar in the memory banks til I turn my toes up . I delayed leaving but only because of the weather in the vain hope the rain would ease off, but at 0-7 the despair was too much. I've only ever left one game early before , back at Loftus Rd mid 90's . I sat and stood thru relegation from Prem and Championship and they both hurt but nothing like the magnitude of yesterday. So many things wrong , the basics , dont pass across the box when defending a goalie who doesnt want to get his gloves dirty , a lump of CB who cant jump not that he should need too but simply cannot win a header, midfielders who on the whole can't tackle, attackers who cant get their heads up and see team mates, and to think I waited til the last hour of ST renewnals this year when my head said we were not improving but my heart said it'll be OK , Thats the big thing , for the Fans its never forgotten, the world will have seen it yesterday on Sky and its shared platforms, for the club its in the history books, for the TV it will be recycled into endless programmes and the salt will be rubbed in again and again The players will move onto other clubs and it won't impact on them , this will be with us for generations and the Fans will never forget.
  10. Well Ralph has been well and truly found out , seems to be manager who sets up to make changes at 70 mins regardless of the game , this game needed a more mobile midfield , the 3 OR PEh and JWP all pretty static and although watching from Northam I'd say pretty much in a line . When the change is made he hooks Long , rather than PEH or JWP who had both been pretty awful , it needed someone who'd worry and unsettle then , Boufal , and maybe play Danso to sweep infront of Yoshi and Bednarek , my fear is I reckon other than Gunn thats the best back 5 we have , if we play 3 CB's we lack any iniative in midfield , Redmond had one shot? Hopeless , I only renewed season ticket on the last evening this year , begining to think I made a mistake believing the hype around this manager and his style , we only seem tp press goalies or at leaast Ings does , we shift the ball left to right no quicker than I can go around the m25 and today lacked anyone who could pass to team mat let alone play someone into space, too many players off form , Gunn and Bednarek , add in PEH and JWP and your close to 50% of the players on the pitch , when the manager can't see the changes needed to help them but changes a forwrd rather than the midfield balance its a big worry
  11. Two season tickets arrived different days , one in box inside a bag, the second in a box then just a box sleeve, not even taped or sealed up. One has a badge , the other has the window sticker, so quality control is somewhat compromised. Why on earth they have to send out tickets to the same address and paid for together separately and in a huge box when a credit card can be sent in just a padded envelope really does seem a complete waste of money, then I suppose we will all get those clacker things stuck on our seats
  12. diddly dee he's done a diddly dee, one of Dave's pearls makes away matches radio commentary worth the pain of all the 'what Saints dont want to do now is concede' comments
