Football Special

ABK was "sold" in August but failed his medical then we had the leaks claiming he had a heart problem, who knows the truth, I know the club were trying hard to find a buyer and failed, ABK hasnt even been training with first team so it's all a bit awkward. Feels like a waste of a career for him and a waste of a salary for us.

Stephens in goal?

I got loads of texts from mates at other clubs saying the same thing. We were robbed Grandad, simple as that.

Thank you!

Fuck off its a perfectly good goal

As Harry woukd say "Down to the bare bones". Dibling booking right at the end was a shame Lumley did well I thought, considering he's basically a 4th choice keeper so he keeps that spot even if McCarthy is available. Chelsea look handy at the moment, hopefully they rest some players but hard to give us any chance with all those players out.

Manning played well I thought, put a ball in first half that deserved someone to be on the end of it

Joao Pedro seemed more interested in trying to get our players booked than actually playing himself Great reminder last night how much better it is having our ground in a city with actual pubs, trains were a joke getting to AMEX stuck out of town Thought our support was good

Corruption , once again. That's vital goals at Wolves and Brighton ruled out now, I won't miss this league, genuinely they're welcome to.it , let's get back to the Championship away from all this nonsense. Fuck VAR

The way he went down last Sunday looked bad, think he's injured Obviously we'll lose, Matt o'Reilly to score for them

Here's Celtic showing us how it's done, lovely stuff https://www.facebook.com/share/r/15hThDFJSV/

Completely agree, they're out of their depth and also sacking Martin brings more attention on the board,at least for now he'll take the brunt of the criticism

We've had plenty since Branfoot as well, don't want to start debate now but overall Branfoot at least saw some results for his methods keeping us up and getting to a cup final! I remember a couple of fans getting banned for throwing their season tickets at Pellegrino after a dismal home defeat, guess we can't do that now they're on an app 🤷🏻‍♂️

I still get frustrated/ angry at the defeats, throwing away a lead in 2nd half again makes it hard to take, but putting time , effort and money in is starting to take its toll, think will give up away games for a bit in the new year just a waste of time now, would like to be at last game at Goodison that's about it. FA Cup 3rd round draw this weekend is always good. In a season as dreadful as this the cups at least provide some distraction

Last I heard was Martin had been assured he had the backing of the board, could have changed last few weeks but I really think they're going to keep sticking with him

That is true for those who stay until the end, assuming we're 3-0 down by 60th min would expect most of the away end to be long gone at full time

You need to lighten up Lighthouse

I'm getting flashbacks to Diego Maradona in his prime https://www.facebook.com/share/r/15j42RpVTM/ https://x.com/SouthamptonFC/status/1861092968007917669?t=QEvR4X1qTXuYnZg1KkGuLg&s=19

Perfectly summed up. McCarthy is a GOALKEEPER whose main qualities is saving shots, not being a sweeper.

Tall Paul looks genuinely chuffed to have the love of the fans, he gets such a good reception and hearing his name sung he knows we're behind him , he was loving it yesterday

All that happens is we don't gift the ball directly to an opponent in front of our goal Stop putting players under pressure where they are not good enough, asking.for trouble

EXACTLY some of McCarthys saves were decent and kept us in the game, just stop asking him to play it around at the back, he's not bad for a back up keeper

Also, any compliments from the Liverpool manager yet?
