our free kick...city in again. Our own worse enemies sometimes.

how is that not a foul ...Dean?

Stephens takes the throw, City break and we are in trouble. Any coaching staff that allow this are not doing their jobs correctly.

I know I am preaching the choir here, but KWP, fucking hell. He seems to do things that impress me every week. Great skills there,.

yes CS. That's the spirit.

I don't think it was bread and butter, but he couldn't have hit it much worse. I honestly don't understand how Broja is not picked ahead of these two. Maybe off the bench he will help us draw level.

Is he overweight? He just doesn't look the same player as a year or two ago.

Poor strike and poor finish, but criminal? Now that's a poor finish....there's a pattern emerging. Technique/confidence is not there. Needs a goal.

Thats better. Nice skills and movement Saints.

Long has fallen over his own feet a couple of times now when receiving the ball.

I've always been willing to give Stephens the benefit of the doubt. He's not a first choice, but not bad reserve. This season, whenever I've seen him he's looked slow and far too casual. The game looks too quick for him. Not sure we have better options mind.

alcohol.

bit worried lightening won't strike twice, cos we will need a little bit of luck to beat them. Palace certainly seem to set up right, but even if you do, you could easily lose two or three nil. What Palace have done well in the past is break incredibly quickly and finish in style. That is where City (and all teams I guess) are vulnerable. I still think we'll win.

I don't find watching players cheat, feign injury and roll around like they have been shot all that entertaining. Spent half the game shouting at Richarlison to fuck off. Such a fucking pathetic...

Got to say that the red card is just the sort of tackle that, although probably isn't a red under the current rules (maybe it could be classified as reckless), really ought to be. He has zero intention of going for the ball, so basically is trying to kick the player and achieved it. Totally understand the reason for the foul, but its still a filthy tackle. Hate seeing players go clean past an opponent, a break is on and then the player is just hacked. OK, so it's the same end result as being pulled back, just a cynical, but there's the physical violence to it too. Maybe their is no intent to hurt, but there is intent to make contact and take his legs from under him. Even though it probably wasn't a red, I felt he deserved one.

How did we ever lose to Newcastle? They are so average. A big man up front and a big man at the back and that's it. They're basically Burnley.

The wording suggests that unlike the other games mentioned, tickets probably hadn't ever been on sale for Saints(a), so only away ST holders will have tickets. I wonder how many that amounts to?

most Sundays on that route there is a bus replacement service at some point. Takes flippin ages. Bloody nightmare.

worry about next season in the summer. AA will have plenty of opportunities both in training and preseason to get back in the groove.

Utter drivel.

It's changed a little and maybe a little is a lot when it comes to a side like us. Never understood while Livramento was brought back. We had been flying with Perraud and KWP. It's taken us a long time to find the right formula, but Ralph didnt stick with it.

🤔 Probably because Livrameto is a right back.

Not terribly Saintly to call you own players names. No need for it.

No he didnt have a chance. So what? I'd argue he was a handful, almost getting in a couple of times. But he was handled very well, they both came to nothing. My pojnt still stands. Why single him out? Actually, don't bother answering. I know the answer already (as stated it in my previous post).
