  1. Sorry this is strange logic, if we regularly beat teams above us then we'll end up above them and we'll regularly beat teams below us...….
  2. Good assessment. It was also my first visit to the new stadium and it is mightily impressive. The only thing I want to add to your review is that Son (even though he goes down and rolls around too much) is a very dangerous player. As is Moura and Winks. Even though we dominated a lot of the game whenever one of these 3 got on the ball there was danger. All 3 have the quality to impact a game. Unfortunately that's what happened. BUT bitterly disappointed seeing Son trying to cheat for cards and penalties by over-egging tackles all night long, I've lost respect for him as a player.
  3. I understand your message but disagree with your inference that we don't punch above our weight today and that somehow by losing this means we've lost our identity. I also disagree that all we are known for is the club that sold. Many football fans also still know us as the 76 FA cup winners, the team that came second in the old first division in 83 -84. However I do feel that English football, not just Saints, is changing its identity by going global, but that this affects some teams (Man U etc.) more dramatically than others (here I include Saints). Bringing in Gao as owner has definitely tilted our hat towards trying to join the global bandwagon and I'm not so comfortable about where this will take us.
  4. Congratulations to him and his family.
  5. Danny Ings now joint second top scorer in EPL (this is b4 the evening games!). Well done him!
  6. Good result in the end, I was worried that despite our good away form we wouldn't perform at home.
  7. Not sure if I was watching the same game as you, but in the Villa game I watched he was not diabolical.
  8. I thought he had a good game yesterday. He did a great job up front and I was particularly pleased that he won many high balls and was able to place the ball to effect. On a couple of occasions he flicked the ball on and no-one had anticipated his winning the header - not the first time I've seen this when he plays. Would have thought that he team mates would be a bit wiser to his ability by now....
  9. And you don't think we punch above our weight today?? I'm sure fans of clubs like Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland would rather be in the EPL than elsewhere.
  10. What's the new chant ?? I could only pick up "Danny Ings, king of the scummers". That was enough for me yesterday, but it would be good to know the rest.
  11. Thank you for a more thoughtful analysis of today's game. After the Leicester game we were one of the worst 3 teams!!
  12. If the trailer was meant to get me excited and desperate to watch this then it failed. Let's hope it's not another embarrassing distraction from our poor league form.

    I'm sorry but he was on the pitch and he wasn't just being inconsistent, he was a complete liability. He deserves his criticism.
