Nordic Saint's Achievements

  1. The Championship will be weaker at the top end next year and Saints could very well win it. We'd probably also have a better chance of staying up then. If we scrape into the third spot via the playoffs this year, we'll probably come straight back down again and miss that window of opportunity.
  2. Pompey fans will be hoping for 11-0 to better their record defeat to Leicester.
  3. I'm not sure I'd even bring him on as a sub as he could throw the game away.
  4. Our strikers, although they miss a hatful of chances, score goals in the Championship, but if we do manage to get promoted , we'll need to get a Premier League class striker or we'll be coming straight back down, bottom of the table. Ted Bates' purchase of Ron Davies was the main reason we managed to stay up the first time we got promoted.
  5. Good effort from the starting eleven. The midfield put Liverpool under pressure and created good chances. With better finishing, we could and perhaps should have gone 2 or 3 goals ahead. THEN the subsitutes came on and we collapsed. Smallbone was like an extra player for Liverpool so it started to look like 12 players against 10. Whenever he got the ball he kicked it towards our goal and away from Liverpool's. He never even managed a single sideways pass, let alone a forward one. But, once again, credit to the starting eleven who ran their socks off and really worked for each other. Even Klopp mentioned afterwards how good Saints' midfield was in the first half.
  6. Can we please sing more than one verse of what is supposed to be our song? It always peters out, like it did at Anfield tonight. because our fans only know one verse. Even one more would help keep it going. Oh, when the saints go marching in Oh, when the saints go marching in I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in. Oh, when the drums begin to bang Oh, when the drums begin to bang I want to be in that number when the saints go marching in. Oh, when the stars fall from the sky Oh, when the stars fall from the sky I want to be in that number when the saints go marching in Oh, when the moon turns red with blood Oh, when the moon turns red with blood I want to be in that number when the saints go marching in. Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call. I want to be in that number when the saints go marching in.
  7. To be fair, whenever I watch any TV games, the away fans of every club, wherever they are, seem to spend most of the game singing, "Your support is f...ing sh!t." This must surely be a great inspiration to the team they have travelled to support. Ours tend to be more polite, hence the popularity of the library song. Maybe we could further enhance our reputation next time by singing, "Is this a Carthusian monastery?" Although the home fans might well reply they find this rather obtuse, or words to that effect.
  8. Elijah Anuoluwapo Oluwaferanmi Oluwatomi Oluwalana Ayomikulehin Adebayo has scored a hat-trick for Luton tonight. He's already a big name.
  9. He's 40 so this is probably his final season. He's certainly had a remarkable late career. He won 50 caps for Portugal, a European Championship, a Nations League and a French League and made more than 20 Champions League appearances, all over the age of 30, and now he's won the Portuguese League Cup.
  10. Another trophy for Jose Fonte. His Sporting Braga team have just won the Portuguese League Cup Final.
  11. Only one? He must have put up a hell of a fight.
  12. Or the level of Swansea at the moment. They were almoat as bad in the first half against us. I see Nathan Jones is sitting prominently in the stands, advertising his availabilty.
  13. i.e. We are 2nd favourites behind Leicester. Championship Promotion Betting Odds | Football | Oddschecker
