Could be. We just don't know how many divisions the cheating club, and their whiny players, will get relegated when the guilty verdict comes in. 🙂

Thanks very much!

Tomorrow's News...today! St Mary's shut down due to Food Standards Authority raid! Championship hopefuls Southampton's season derailed by change of home venue!

I don't know. Unlucky 13 could make us lose our form. 🙂

Pep livid and overcompensating. 🙂 We get past Derby! It's never great to see your side line up for a point, and a prayer of a break, at home. But the season's gone, we wanted the point, and needed any kind of performance. We got the job done. We kept it compact, pushed them out wide in the first half. We were tight on their long shot specialists, and stopped service to Haaland, even from wide. Les had to go off before a second yellow. They had a bit more room, but Aribo helped the full backs double up, and used his experience to get where it mattered. We didn't do anything with the moments we had. But the satisfaction is seeing an actual team performance work out, with everyone playing a part.

Haaland offside.

Another pull on one of ours unpunished. Archer offside, but Stewart better placed.

They are such divers. O'Reilly and Doku now.

Oh heck, don't take Fernandes off. Was he hurt?

Passes in the final third Us: 30 Them: 347 🙂

Downes wanting to play it back, while others were looking forward. Unless Fernandes is hurt, he needs to get right back on his feet and defend.

Surprised they had to put a limit on it, if they're that determined to give them a winner. 🙂

Uh oh... Manning for Welington (who did well) Loch Ness for Sule (put a shift in, but tired)

It was the producer who had to tell him too. 🙂

Downes, on a yellow, doing well closing down the spaces and helping Bree out.

Uh oh... More subs....

De Bruyne saw it coming a mile off making Aribo, trying to keep some possession, look a bit rubbish there. Anyway, Baz would have made an ice cool clearance. 🙂

Yay! Ref gives us a free kick. Wasn't a vital touch, but enough to put them off. Whew!

Someone got a vital touch there!

I should have added his foot to shoulder for Ramsdale's possible injuries. But the foot one is long standing with his kicking. 🙂

Oh sure. Anything I say about our subs, or forwards, should have a big "hypothetically" in front, as what you get, isn't what you bought. 🙂

No one getting in the way of Aribo clearing that. Ramsdale's shoulder still giving problems?

We don't get many chances to get free, but touch and passing are poor when they arise.

I think Rusk is looking for mobility over strength, to make the most of any breaks. Still look a bit weaker with every sub we make though.

So daft to get caught out with so many up field.
