Roo1976

They have won just one of their last 36 Premier League games (D7 L28) and, when converting to three points for a win all time, Saints' six points is the second lowest after 23 top-flight games, with only Bolton in 1902/03 ever having fewer at this stage (3). All i want and suspect alot on the same wavelength,simple just beat Derby 11 points ,season is over just a matter of whos going with us.

ah yes the fans favourite.............. Robert Keyboard.

what just like saying a name...................................ffs,or do we have to belive in Alex (a source tells me ) Crook?

we aint Bournemouth.

none of our midfield has, have they.

we've still got the same team just longer kicks,but we hold onto the ball well when its called for,frustrated yes ,did i think wed win no, but there was a good vibe about it.Can we defend.....NO. Please just let us beat Derbys horrendous points total please. If we had a half decent bit of luck in front of goal the game should have been out of sight at half time as im sure there would have been many comments about this already. But we didn't cover ourselves with poor finishing and just that mental belief to go on and get it over the line ,we got deeper than we should have and just failed again. Suleman wasted glorious chances to score and or assist,,just a missed opportunity to have won Bugger.

The problem is Saints have taken six points from a possible 60 and the cause looks hopeless even if Juric won’t and can’t say it. Derby 11, Sunderland 15, Sheffield Utd 16, Huddersfield 16, Sunderland and Portsmouth both 19, have posted the lowest ever Premier League points totals. Southampton have 18 games left to try and overhaul the worst teams in the history of the competition. This source from skys report on our plight,dire at best.

Amazing how good we feel our loan players are when they have a relatively good start out on loan ,and we see the shambles we are left with struggling to (now Martins gone) string a few decent passes together and keep possession of the game plan. We really are a lost cause this season no matter whos in charge. SP and thier seemingly blind faith in what they are being told, are to blame for not being strong with an actual goal for whats to come.

Aribo only looked good cause Jock football is shyte.

get in there back o the net..........................

We are broken arnt we, sad to say that was the worst collapse ive seen in a long time even by this seasons standards and that's not much. THB looks at best bang average at this moment in time .Best on Saturday Walker Peters. Theres no structure or indeed belief from the players to suggest that were capable of improvement at this late part of the season. As long as we beat Derbys dreadful points tally were not another statistic for the records book.

met his brother............Pickled Gerkens the other day.

Maybe Ive miss understood fans views on technical playing ability over fragility. As i said its also frustrating when he gets the very minimal amount of contact to throw himself on the floor like hes broken something,or fuck me my shin pad needs to be replaced now bugger,yes there are more players worse than him,maybe its just the frustration we find ourselves in that lends my thoughts to think you fucking lightweight, get up get on with it ,enough is enough. No im not pissed just a fan being pissed off, that's all just my opinion that's all .

As the title says what on earth does he bring to the table?, apart from embarrassing himself every time he gets the slightest of glances,and proceeds to do a death roll. Set pieces are at best shit, and well maybe because the Palace result is still raw,but him and Aribo are so so lightweight cant wait for Smallbone to join the line up burgh . I think he needs to be supported more by stronger ball winners, to enable more space for himself to make somewhat of a better impact on our attempts at attacking. There was some bright football towards the last 4-5 minutes of the second half but all in all disappointingly poor result IMO.

but why even rise to reply to the humor that was offered....?

But equally, what is a disgrace is that the board persisted in watching KEEP BALL week after week with NO progress, where they blind? torn with loyalty? what,but in the games gone since we seem to move the game plan forward quicker. As i said before tongue in cheek we didn't need to be fit as fuck because we never played out of our own half for long periods, and showed no desire or ambition to do so even in desperate times,and the forwards just played walking football. I'm sure someone will go back to the drawing board and re-invent 4-4-2 and think wow, this is all good and everyone will take it onboard again,but its a simple game crushed by ambition.

Sadly we do. BTW what makes a good scout?. Many clubs claim they have a good system of weeding through the dross ,but we seem somehow capable of buying the dross. Whats the criteria that the scouts get assigned to look out for?,and more importantly where does the responsibility of the Sporting Director fall ?. What is a sporting director? from what ive seen in close ups on TV when they pan to our former one Wilcox, he seems embarrassed by whats happening on the pitch ,are they bought on his say so or looked over by the scouting team and then (this is where the due diligence seems to fail ) we splash the cash,and make a bog standard footballer a multimillionaire,and then expect the normal average fan to happy clap poor performances,fucking baffles me. Yet we seem incapable of bucking this trend WHY. Its not rocket science to have a system of trust in a scouting and coaching setup is it? or are we expecting too much from experts in the know?,where as us as fans are thought way too stone age to have thought hes good, where in fact we've managed to buy yet another waste of someones money. i remember way back when we bought Paul Moody from Waterlooville in the 90s, that was a big surprise as i was living in Cowplain at the time and it was a big thing, local lad and all ,but again never took off. Im sure there are lots of very similar occurrences that all clubs go through,now though maybe alot of hype is on good agents and all the trappings that go with them,shame. 1991

bloody hell Villa 2015........................christ on a bike,forgot that .

fuck me forgot about smallbone........

Merry Christmas fellow Saints fans.What ever your day brings,just remember you could have supported Portshite...............buuurrrrggghh.

Aribo just waves his arms about and goes through the motions of not getting the ball ,and tracks back about 3-4 paces of the action ,again terrible scouting and where will he fit into the setup.

Not totally convinced hes worked his way back into contention,i think RM had to do something because the complete shitness of how BBD has worked out or not performed,alongside Cornet as-well. Fuck me our scouting has been atrocious,fans thought Big Les played well yesterday,well that may have been the case but hes back in London maybe trying for a move elsewhere?,who knows what thoughts go through these young wanna be have it all millionaires eh?.......COME ON YOU SAINTS. Merry Christmas all.

Just seen the highlights (there were none) Juric looks like Robert Di Nero................

been thinking on this,they are as fit as they need to be,because they don't go over the halfway line......

again consistency at the root of this also,if that was committed in the middle of the pitch foul no question,but being close to the end of a match NO VAR to question the validity of the decision and your not a big enough team to get away with it it dosent go your way,WHY. I thought he was going to be one of the better officials when he first started out a few seasons ago but since then sadly like al of them they over think it and not making the correct call. Also tall Paul was given off when he was on,but composure let him down anyhow. Honestly we weren't at the game in 1st half improved 2nd, Aribo does alot of arm waving around when hes closing play down but never fully committed to taking control of the situation or is that just me ?. We still look fragile ,but not alot has changed in the 3 or so days since ,so the new guy whoever that is has abig job in hand ,but there is still hope at least that we will beat Derbys low points total,fingers crossed.
