die Mannyschaft

Just been in Betfred and put £5 on Saints relegation at 250/1. That way if this EA26 robotic football continues all season and we don't get 2 goal scorers in Jan window then I'm covered. The last relegation all the signs were there early on and I didn't bet.

Winchester City top table.

Russell Martin 8/10 as he did us promoted with possession football which is a unbelievable achievement. Will Still 4/10 at this stage. Could be higher but I'm very bored watching this type of football.

attacked at pace and scored a good goal, but then just backed off and barely got out of our own half for the next 20 mins. This is a pattern from last season, I don't understand the tactics and plan. It worked very well last season to achieve relegation but why copy it for this season.

Scientific, analysis football. Boring as shit but that's what we plan each week. Stalemate football in hope that we can nick a goal or 2 then bore the fuck out of everyone in the stadium. Even the staff in burger vans look bored.

Stewart injured!! God now we in deep shit. Basics of a football team is to have a striker, unless your happy with draws.

Only 1 more point to go and major achievement. Agree at least not bottom 3 (yet)

Can Saints just buy the Coventry youtube clips and convert them into some sort of training guide on how to play football and how to find the goal.

Post Traumatic Scoring Disorder PTSD

We are not going up this season Each month we don't get on a 3 game win run the more we will be stuck in bottom half. Can't believe still 250/1 for relegation. Maybe another 25 draws are on the way.

How on earth have Coventry scored 27 hoals do far????

I'm hoping the European super league gets created and get rid of City, Liverpool, Arsenal. Spurs, Man U etc. There will a correction in football then and the TV money will be less. Don't forget 90% of TV billions just goes on players wages and agents

Shifted to those who govto games and TV subscription, pubs. Its amazing how many clubs at lower level charge £10 to sream a game. Watching at a large fan area like Saints Northam or in one of the corp lounges for £10 with drink and curry as in last Pompey away was sold out so allways a new way to cash in. Watching in a pub is ridiculous how can you see anything!!

West Ham owe us £15m for JWP and I can see this being written off and he's back. We need that £15m in Jan window in case of injuries or to bolster the squad. Is Walcott still at the club in some capacity?

Last night was good, but 1st half didn't help, Saints need some first half goals. Have a good trip!

Tried but failed to select any green dots on ticket site. Anyone else have same problem on Samsung mobile? Had this all season. If choose automatic it tgen gives 2 tickets not in same block so end up calling ticket office but that stupid band announcement/ticket master means takes ages to get answered and remains seats sold out. Think all aways games will sell out.

Bloody hell , I have just updated my Saints assessment and we will get automatic promotion if we win at Derby. Must have been asleep when bbc updated table as sure we were on 8 points. I can't belive we have so many points.

Every one near me at Sheffield and on our coach said the same about the game. 1. The existing players and the new players play far too much of the game in automatic mode. Attack then stop, check, put foot on ball tgen start tge side to side. 2. One half of the match us allways a free hit for opponents. 3. Some of the players who can and did creative football need to start or ar least increase the time on pitch. Robinson for one. 4. Why are players stopped from shooting at edge box, they practice shooting in warm up. A great goal by Stewart shows robotic packaged football is not needed, just shoot, its simple and worked. 5. Short corners, none of us understand this stupid tactic ans wastes valuable opportunity. 6. There is some pattern and style Saints play but confusingly not all the time in small blocks within the game. 7. Wood is a contender for captain, needs to be full back or midfielder not a forward. 8. Brilliant result, a confidence boosting win. Derby needs to a 3 points or very min a draw. Players staying at England camp until after Derby game shiukd help build and fine this elusive style of play and grt rid of preprogrammed side to side which has got to stop as we give ball away too often. 9. Its going to take until new year to eventually start paying real football so top 2 place out of the question unless a miracle happens. 10. 5th or 6th place playoff but if promotion then who ever runs the club must learn from last promotion and relegation otherwise its a cycle of bottom 6. Need to get back to producing academy players who want to stay at club. 11. VAR is corrupt 12. Agents have ruined football and we must be careful of just buying players who are not interested in staying at club otherwise need lots of dosh to by players to keep in Premier League, but don't think Saints have the money for this gamble which Forrest etc have done.

A win away at last. Take that as two good goals. On the down side we are still too slow, on break stop at half way line or opposition box the side and back. Lack of creative play 1st half, bit better 2nd.

God its crap football. Come back Russell. 500% improvement or its leaque 1

Mark Dennis and Benali on my coach

I'm going on the Midnite Express coach. Last season went to Everton, West Ham and Chelsea so due for a win!!

At some stage this season Saints will get a win. Since the start of last season, Southampton have won just one of their 22 away league games (D5 L16), a 2-1 victory at Ipswich in February.
