St. Ciervo

Thats his official nickname... Boro seem so much more comfortable playing our style of football. We hardly press them at all. It's as if we havent watched teams dissect us easily for the past weeks.

3-1 Saints. They play best when we are at our lowest as a fan base, and they aim to dash dreams the moment we have an ounce of optimism. I would bite your arm off for a clean sheet, but it isn't in our stars.

In theory, the reaction to the reaction should be equal and opposite. That's quite uplifting.

Time to bust out the big math... 25pts + 8pts = 33pts on the season... Still relegated.

First, let me make it clear that I do not support Greenwood coming to the Saints. However, in the states, there was an American football player names Michael Vick that was involved in a dog fighting ring and killing animals. I thought he would never land anywhere. But after 1 year of playing, it was as if his crimes never happened. People have a short memory, and people grow. Before you come at me, please review the first statement.

RM will surely be sharing the benefits of a vegan diet to Downes, anyways. Most vegans can't help it.

Baz's confident charge out put pressure on Hardie and forced the bad touch, no? If Baz sits back, Hardie turns in and has time to line up a dangerous shot on goal. Imagine what Clark might have said then... Dangerous run turned out to be harmless. Great job, Baz.

Their team may be fast, but they are vertically-challenged. I dont have that familiar pang of doubt when they get corners.

An Argyle supporter comes in and speaks about a few players with pace and several on here begin to panic. They'll be gassed by the second half. 3-2 Saints win with a 2 goal second half.

Because our goalie is low on confidence. He needs backing, and the manager is giving it to him with a clear statement like that. As an ex-tender, I appreciate it really.

I dont know if that is fair to call the game excruciating. I never felt that Wednesday was going to score. There were 2 moments of unnerve and 1 goal that was a fluke falling to the feet of a number 9. That wont happen often. It was far more comfortable than the scoreline showed. We obviously need that finishing touch. Che was far stronger in that role over AA. Hopefully he stays.

They will get better at choosing times to attack under this system. The possession will really pay off at the end of the game with this extended extra time business.

Now demanding 25 mil+ from Burnley for Tella.

3-1. Comfortable victory with 70%+ possession. Goal against will be a blunder from playing out the back. Predicts itself.

Comparing Baz to McC is literally my only direct option unfortunately. However, I am with you on signing a new goalie to push Baz. McC's two left feet make him a liability in this system.

The goal was far from his fault. Had he gotten it, it would have been a sensational save. Even still, his quick decisions and confident movement of the ball allowed the backline more time to play out of the back confidently. Go back and compare it to McC from earlier in the week. It's stark. Baz will be our number 1 this year, certainly.

How can a hologram be hurt?

I saw that after the twist. My heart stopped, and I instantly wished we took the Newcastle money... Eek!

Damn. At least you're figuring it out today and not when regular season comes around. If all else fails, you can at least watch your avatar and hang out with these good folks... edit: I would try another program (firefox, chrome, etc.)

Its working, it just doesnt start automatically or even shows "play here." You need to click "Match Centre" and you will see a play button. Click it for success. Good luck.

But I do not see JWP on today's team. We can't be taking West Ham's proposal seriously, can we?

Didnt he sign and talk about how God brought him here, etc. So maybe God wanted us relegated...damn. Bye, Felicia.

Goal keeping is mostly mental. Without confidence, you do stupid things like predict instead of react. It looks similar to that goal vs. Goztepe where he predicted a shot to the far post and basically jumped out of the way of the ball. We all agree...that was a train wreck.

Most exciting part of this half was trying to figure out my log in for the Saint's website. Since then, I have been lulled into an intermittent coma broken only by heart murmurs every time Stephens passes the ball.

Good luck finding a player worse than Ely. I'll wait.
