The Probably Boro but Hopefully Second Leg at Home Chase
Patrick Bateman replied to 2Morrow's topic in The Saints
6 more wins. 1 at a time, match by match ... -
"Completed it mate"
-
Was that the one when we had 5 centre backs on the pitch at once?? I've blurred all that early season crap out now ... it was all so bizarre.
-
For this reason, I can see Scienza NOT starting and maybe coming on later when they've got some cards and calmed down.
-
Pay him whatever it takes, get it done! I'd day that about a few players now ... !

Man City 2-1 Saints - Match Thread
Patrick Bateman replied to Football Special's topic in The Saints
Without meaning to TRY to defend it as I still think it's way too high and a piss take, but there is cost of infrastructure and so on to cover - that stuff is costly and gets more expensive the more demand there is as it scales. That's my take anyway 😂 -
Same. I always liked Wednesday and their fanbase, real shame what's happened to them.
-
Fair enough, I just looked at a high-level of them being "too big", but I guess, yes, the bigger you are the higher the running costs. Meanwhile, who TF is that on TV now speaking to Micah Richards??
-
No chance of that happening, they are too big with sizeable assets (assuming they still own their ground, they have a decent training ground and keep a squad of players) - they will be ripe for some Hollywood type to buy as a play thing at a bargain price.

I saw Steve today, looking shifty as I drove past him on Bedford Place 😂
-
Just got back home, weird first half, weird atmosphere, REALLY flat, almost nervous feeling. But from the second half that was brilliant and rightly the ground also picked up. Perfect subs, great game plan, Eckert and his team really have got something about them, awesome. Scienza's goal was wonderful - the relief around the ground when that went in, wonderful feeling. Bring on Blackburn!
-
Nope, I want them to lose, I want anyone above us to lose, except Coventry.
-
That team sheet ... 😐
-
Agree with this, good luck to him in the future.
-
Agree. They are still on a PIP with me. They need to keep every single good player, get Eckert tied down on a long contract and seriously back this current team. If we don't go up, they need to pull out everything to secure the same players and coaching team, who should be good enough to get promoted automatically next season.

Fk. 20 years ago? Ugh. That's all.

Decent fanbase is Wrexham. Not the fans fault the media love the Hollywood guys coming in like money saviours, although I do dislike Moore. I'm sure over the summer they'll ship out some of their deadwood, probably change manager and be up there again. Anyway, tonight ... lovely stuff. Every player knows their role, every player knows where the others will be, every player puts in a shift. It is a huge, stark contrast to last year or the team of only a few months ago pre-2026.. We are a team, a proper team, with very well defined roles and responsibilities. January signings seem perfect, Larin as a proper number 9 alternating with Stewart who whilst great, needs protecting. Peretz who not only a much better goalie, but seems like the life and soul of the club right now - a huge presence. Bree back as well, goes without saying. I like the speed we play at, keep it calm when we need to, in order to regain shape and / or breathe, but break hard, with purpose when we feel like a goal is on. Feels like there is no pointless possession, which is so refreshing. Great job Saints, great job.

Man City 2-1 Saints - Match Thread
Patrick Bateman replied to Football Special's topic in The Saints
Current match is dull, don't like either team much, shame they both can't lose -
Absolutely - I said this before but it shows the value of a decent goalkeeper a) balling them out for mistakes/good play and being vocal and b) the confidence they have knowing they have a goalie more likely to make a save behind them. Fkn paper hands offered neither of those things.
-
Epitome of team player, such a great guy.
-
Where is that interview?
-
Bloody hell that was brilliant. We play well against teams who "play football", letting them faff around with their slow passing, being as aware as possible on their set pieces (with no fouling) and hitting them on the break, lovely stuff, absolutely superb. Brilliant team performance with many stand out players - unfair to call out one player, fkn team of the match. Well done, that is what the FA Cup is about.
-
TBF looks like Bazunu is in goal for them ... awful
-
I think no. They are top of the Premier League, a team that's looking awesome, I think 9/1 (personally) is a bit stingy. But still worth a few quid.
