Shroppie

Great read, as always. The only thing I would add is that Cedric's "pass" to Obafemi in front of goal was abysmal. [emoji6] Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Except that you're promised the pastry has negative calories, each one hand-made by a host of elves and that eating it will deliver Brexit, provide investment of £100bn for the NHS and deliver us from all evil. With 10000 paid-for likes and 500 bot-written supporting comments to prove it's true. Truth is now irrelevant. It's all about repeating lies that will get you what you want by convincing gullible people that they're true. And there is absolutely no penalty for being proved to be lying. And the internet makes this possible. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

You can't have been there. Look at the photo. There was plenty of room for the pass. It didn't come to Obafemi at chest height. It flew past him well out of reach, at great velocity. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Absolutely. Cedric didn't look and I'm pretty sure he was shooting. Whether it was a cross or a pass, it was awful, either way. A simple chip or rolled pass and Obafemi couldn't miss. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

This will be a totally different game to yesterday. Arsenal attacked us, rather too patiently and were slow to recover when we broke. The early goal also made them commit more forward. Watford will sit back, frustrate and hit us with physicality and long balls over the top. We seem set on Stephens and Bednarek now, but I think they'll struggle. At least we now have the novelty of two specialist full backs. Not sure that Vestergaard, Yoshida or Danso (where is he?) can improve the situation, so I'd start with much the same team, but Djenepo for Obafemi. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Disagree. He showed pace, held the ball up and laid on the pass that led to the penalty. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Said by someone who clearly didn't see the game. Not winning was down to Djenepo missing two clear chances, a Boufal shot going just wide and two simple crosses that were overhit. This was a good Saints display, in attack excellent but admittedly with mistakes in defence. It should be a confidence-booster for the coming "easier" games and hopefully real Saints fans can really get behind the team now. And Ralph was not responsible for any of those misses, so now really isn't the time to be on his back. Maybe his decision to bring on Boufal rather than shoring things up with Yoshida or Romeu could be questioned, but if Boufal had scored Ralph would be hailed as a genius. And the usual whingers on here would have moaned at a defensive move. Of course, because their only objective is to moan and undermine the team and club. It was a great performance today marred by two defensive lapses and missed chances. Against Arsenal, away, we were by far the better team. Be positive for once. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Guessed as much. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I've met a few in passing but none to remember now. Usually as a result of being with random Saints in a train/pub, getting chatting and then being asked where I live. The answer "Shropshire" usually provokes the question *Why the f*** do you do 400 mile round trips for home games" and then occasionally "You're not Shroppie, are you?"

That's it. BT treated us to a shot of TCWTB. Too much. Giving up on it now. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Yes. 1-1 now Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Typical head in the sand Brexiteer. Unable to debate so resorts to insults. File your Treasury documents with the rest of Johnson's fake news and lies. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I'd have to. They clearly are imaginary, part of Johnson's web of compulsive lies. The recession, however, will be very real. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

But you seem to be forgetting we haven't left yet. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I'm sure that there can't be anything in the rumour that Farage withdrew nearly 300 candidates just after being offered a peerage. Would also explain why he didn't need to stand as a candidate himself, though. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

1. Still lying. 2. Still suppressing incriminating evidence on Russian interference. 3. Still squashing the Acuri affair 4. Still doesn't understand his own Brexit deal and continues to babble incoherently about it. 5. Making ludicrous claims about Labour's spending, the most blatant fake news imaginable. 6. Still refusing to cost his own spending plans. 7. Still a self-seeking racist, misogynist bully surrounded by plenty of the same in his Cabinet. 8. Still pretending, ridiculously, to be representing "the people" when he's in fact a divisive, privileged extremist only interested in himself and his rich friends. 9. Still trying to blame parliament gur the failure to get his Brexit deal through when, in fact, he pulled the bill after it passed second reading because he was terrified of how it would be torn apart if scrutinised properly. 10. Still making ficticious claims about future and past spending on police, education and the NHS. 11. Still trying to sell our NHS for profit. 12. Still mindlessly spouting sound-bites whilst being totally incapable of answering questions. 13. Still lying pretty well every time he opens his mouth. (I may have said that already, but he simply does it blatantly, all the time, and doesn't care - eg "there are no media here" said to camera) Neither he nor his party are fit to govern. Anyone who thinks a Tory majority will be good for anyone except the super-rich needs a reality check. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Stolen from elsewhere, but still brightened up my morning and helped to ease the pain: "We all made the mistake of thinking the club had given us all scarfs on Saturday. In fact they were thoughtfully providing blindfolds." [emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I agree!!!! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

VAR is not working as it's still subjective and subject to the VAR ref choosing to look for something (eg Bertrand red) or ignore it (Djenepo penalty). And the big clubs are getting the calls. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Said outside the area it would always have been given as a foul. Which is ridiculous. A foul is a foul. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

My readers will know I look for positives. Apart from 15 mins after we scored, I'm positive that we looked awful. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

It's a very serious and valid question. Over half of the electorate did not vote for Brexit. Just over half of those who voted were in favour, on the basis of a pack of lies and with no thought whatsoever of how we could leave. The Brexit sold during the reference doesn't exist. Since then, chaos has reigned not because parliament has "blocked" Brexit but because those who voted for it want a whole range of different things, and there is no majority for any of those things. Heaven forbid that we now get a Tory majority (which would probably only be supported by about 35% of the electorate) with the ability to ram through Johnson's awful deal, which will in any case only lead to no deal in 12 months. This isn't getting Brexit done (which really is the most idiotic phrase). It's destroying the economy and throwing us into years of negotiation and decline. The only sensible way of getting Brexit done is to get it gone. If something is proved to be bad, just don't do it, rather than pretending that if you do it, all will be well afterwards.

He took that so quickly I doubt anyone could have got in a block. Maybe any one of three players could have got tighter, but Aguero is very good at pulling away towards the penalty spot. And yes, the cross could have been blocked or cut out. But it wasn't. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
