Football Special

I can see Palace changing manager soon, bit of panic starting to kick in amongst their fan base

Agree with this, particularly noticed on Saturday how hard working he is moving off the ball, needs faster service as we're so slow going forward to benefit from it

This doesn't get said enough, same as when fans were foaming at the mouth shouting abuse at Nathan Jones - it was never his fault that Sport Republic had persued him paying up his contract with Luton so they'd release him

Agree with that , absolutely hate VAR. Also looking forward to getting some songs back like EIEIEIO up the football league we go, and 25 25 undefeated playing football the Southampton way.

A season of no wins where each time fans say "I think they'll give him the next game" and before we know it we're in May. I'd still take that with a Carabao cup win though.

QPR away the week before was also a great one, Norwich at home that season one of the best hat tricks you'll ever see

One of my favourite games in one of my favourite seasons, good old Chris Nicholl and his 4-2-4 tactics, the club never did acknowledge his death did they ?

That's a good point and would be an interesting legal case, unfair that only goals scored are rewarded with points and not some of the other great brave things that happen elsewhere on the pitch , football needs a re-think

On a brighter note this came up as a memory from 8 years ago, nice to reminisce

Also managed to concede 3 at championship strugglers Cardiff in the Milk Cup

He'd dropped out of England u19 squad during international break due to carrying a knock so it's possible he's not quite 100% , still created some good chances, played a lovely ball down the wing with outside of his left boot in first half as well

We won the lottery at Wembley and spent / wasted it. This is us

It was. I was at those games as well, WBA was right up there.

I think that goes for the fans as well as the players, zero intimidation , doesn't give us any home advantage, but you can see from posts on here several admit to not even be bothered about losing.

Do you also not get that excited if we win? Guess it comes down to personality types, I can't just shrug my shoulders and not be bothered after a game like that

So deep it's going to take a long time to recover from

Agree, we've got youngsters going to school on a Monday, hard enough to put up with armchair cunts supporting the Liverpools and Man City's without saints becoming a laughing stock for record points / defeats. We're definitely heading for it.

That is true, but also just a few months ago we had possibly the best St Mary's atmosphere ever for WBA. Do we have any songs any more for our players? Most of the singing yesterday was about the ref

Is there a link to the interview anywhere? I can't be arsed to watch MOTD , he does seem to struggle to accept his way isn't working Fans are going to turn on him from now I think, all goodwill used up

I know the football doesn't help, but still a shame to see how quiet the Northam wall is. The old Northam / Itchen North combo would have comfortably made more noise yesterday

Agree I think they are more useless rather than planned but we definitely need to start planning for championship next season which might explain why they will stick with Martin.

It was the most biased refereeing performance I have ever seen certainly, can only assume Leicester had taken his family hostage until the end of the match. What the fuck was he doing here?

You can add traffic / bus replacements to that list as well, absolutely fucking crap all round

That's a fair balanced post, I think it's going to be really difficult for us as a fanbase living through what is likely to be our worst season ever in real time, especially the nippers , one about 7 years old looked absolutely distraught walking out of the ground. We all learn the hard way but would have been nice to give the kids some hope. I can't imagine there's a Saints fan left who still gives us a chance of survival but let's at least play for pride.

Wish I could be the same and not let it get to me , absolutely fucking hate Leicester and Vardy, every fucking time
