Elmo…..🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Ironic cheers from travelling Saints fans as we get our first corner…and a 2nd shot!!!!

Played Bazunu.

Diallo is sooooo slow….

I’ve only just twigged why Bazunu is number 31…..🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣

The Nevada desert is huge. Plenty of space there for Bompey to expand.

I would be interested specifically in the views of those who were there last night to endure that horror show in the flesh. I was at Spurs and Leicester away and support was good at both, even with the ringing at Spurs. Yes, some drifted away early but there was no discernible disquiet or anger like at Brentford away which I also attended. What were the in-game and post final whistle reactions to players and manager like last night?

I think Finnigan did himself a nasty injury in pre-season.

You don’t stop? 😉

Yes - BT Sport. 👍

What does that say about them….?

The most wonderful part of the afternoon was watching the faces of the Leicester ‘ultras’ next to our section as they left circa 88 minutes. They’d been revelling in the “Oh when the Saints go 9-0 down” chants all game so watching them slink away in near silence was sheer unadulterated joy….

You’re a real charmer aren’t you? Bloke’s just put this together and asked for opinions - haven’t you got something more constructive to add?

Haha! Yes, knowing our defence back then you’re probably right! 🤣

That was the one - hit it like a rocket!

That hat trick was in the game where Mark Hughes scored but the ref said it had gone wide. Replays clearly showed it was a goal. If only we’d had VAR in ‘97….

My brother lives in Girona. He says Oriel played for a Catalan charity team in a match there over the summer. His neck of the woods. Can see there being something in it, sadly.

Spurs.

On an unrelated note….did anybody else in the Chapel see the former players’ names that have been added to the steps into the bowl? The name Mings (definitely Mings and not Ings) is on there - I checked today and he was an academy player at Saints in 2008 who never played a first team game for us. So why is he in there….?! 🤔

Indeed it did - almost a carbon copy of the first goal. And this is the issue - he doesn’t learn and he doesn’t - or can’t - improve.

100% this. Watch the first Leeds goal again - it’s Bednarek’s trademark: Rodrigo is moving into the area in front of JB who is utterly unaware of what’s going on around him, is static and who by the time he realises what’s going on it’s too late. He does it time and time again. This is not an isolated instance. If we are going to improve, he needs to be on the bench at best.

Shop window 😉😉

Agree.

I’d say that’s a pretty fair summary of the first 45. Lavia has definitely grown into the game. Like how Aribo will chase back when he loses possession. Feel sorry for AA; not had a lot to go on. Keeper looks a significant upgrade.
