InvictaSaint

Question? Or statement?

In almost 30 years of supporting Saints I have never left a game before the end but today the players gave me absolutely no reason to stay. Appalling team performance. And West Ham fans remain among the most despicable bunch of morons on the face of the earth.

Goal!! Long!!

Just a little side note to yesterday’s great win - the contribution of Stuart Armstrong. He, along with Sims, was making great runs in behind Spurs’ back line, and both goals were as a direct result of his endeavours. The second in particular saw him start 5 yards behind Walker-Peters and end up on his arse after being tripped, allowing W-P to score from the free kick. Given what he gives us I’m surprised we are not using him more at present. Managed to meet him after the game and he’s also a very decent lad with a wicked sense of humour. Glad we’ve got him.

Brighton 2-1 up

Palace equalise. 1-1

Ht - 1-0 Saints

Chance for redmond. Saved.

Really interesting and useful statistical model of relegation probabilities, really nicely presented (unusually for stattos.....). Cardiff 56% likely to be relegated, with us 18% likely: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/soccer-predictions/premier-league/

FFS - Cardiff 2 Bmouth 0.

So you *genuinely* feel Carvahal and Hassenhuttl are comparable in any meaningful sense? Really? You probably won’t even contemplate admitting it to yourself - and please don’t bother wasting your and others’ time countering as I couldn’t give a flying **** what you think - but your pathetic repetitive trolling behaviour is one of the main reasons people abandon this forum. Still, you’re king of your own little empire where you’re never wrong, which must make you very happy.

Now him I wouldn’t mind; Ralph knows him well which might be a pull. Would give us the pace and directness we need.

And batman knows this full well and is being a trolling facetious cretin. And he knows it. But can’t bring himself to admit it. Sad really.

On a numerical level, perhaps. But in terms of quality can you really argue we are weaker? Gabbiadini - 1 goal this season; Hoedt -liability; Davis - hasn’t figured this season and over the hill; Cedric - many faults and not fancied by Ralph. Don’t think you can evidence that in terms of quality we are weaker.

Out of interest, and despite his ban now having ended, no Austin on the bench today. Anyone any the wiser?

Lineker said on MOTD that as no penalty was given and no card shown it can’t be acted upon. Guests agreed that it’s a ridiculous rule.

At least we are not alone in the surrendering two goal leads club.....

This. Someone with pace if at all possible, though such players are of course at a premium.

Ah, Alpine; where every silver lining has a cloud....[emoji6]

Bit harsh.

Well at least Hoj will be back for Everton at home now.

1-2 Marriott
