DM: Mauricio Pochettino has failed this season
Saint_clark replied to Glasgow_Saint's topic in The Saints
The players failed in that sunderland game, not the manager. Sunderland made more changes than us and the team we put out was more than strong enough to win. -
Maybe he won't be the manager then won't matter to him who's sold when he's out...
-
Isn't that more than buying the tickets individually?
-
The cynic in me says that they're releasing the prices earlier than usual as they know people aren't going to like what happens over the summer.
-
Thought the ref V Cardiff was pretty good, couple of iffy decisions but nothing blatantly wrong or outrageous.
-
A lot better today but still a lot of work to be done. Should be catching crosses more often, although whilst his confidence is low I understand him wanting to just get rid - however punching shots that are directly at him instead of catching them are the absolute basics. I noticed watching the City game that a couple of times he closed his eyes and turned his face away when shots were coming in, be interesting to see if that was the case today - a keeper that's afraid of the ball, amazing.
-
We have our fair share of speculative shots from distance, that's not the problem. It's shooting once we've worked it into the final 20 yards of the pitch.
-
Hardly anyone is in a position to get a clear shot at goal anymore, too much emphasis on our forwards pulling wide. So naturally in an effort to keep possession instead of wasting it by shooting at a crazy angle we just lay it off...one of the downsides to playing all 3 of Lallana, Ramirez and Lambert. When Rodriguez is out we either need to play Gallagher who is more attack minded, or get Lambert to play as he used to - attacking the ball at the far post etc.
-
Looked very good today, but probably at the expense of the team. We had too many players looking to create and no-one actually getting in goalscoring positions. Given Lamberts poor display I'd drop him for Gallagher next game and keep Ramirez in.
-
Mistake playing all 3 of Lallana, Ramirez and Lambert. Everyone looking to create and no-one getting on the end of it. Needed Gallagher in there for one of them. Clyne should have come on a lot earlier for Chambers as well, who never really got into the game.
-
Yup. I never actually had a problem with it, quite liked it as it was fresh and classy. But with this switch back I am really looking forward to the kit for next season.

Disability facilities - St Mary's amongst the best
Saint_clark replied to Kingsland Codger's topic in The Saints
For a lot of stadiums there's no alternative but to stick those in wheelchairs right at the front, which obviously isn't ideal. Creating a disabled viewing area like we have a St Marys wouldn't just mean ripping out seats, you'd have to somehow level out the steps (not even sure if that'd be possible) and then figure out a way of getting them up there. They show an example picture of palace - how exactly would you get someone half way up the terrace in the first place? The only way it would be possible would be rebuilding the whole stand, surely? You can't knock out part of the terrace to build an elevator without compromising the structural integrity I would imagine. It's a bit harsh to blame clubs for not catering to disabled fans properly citing modern day regulations when most of these stadiums were built decades ago. -
The silver badge was never part of this campaign fyi, it was in use on the website etc. immediately after the 125th anniversary.

Ralph Krueger signs up for Saints Foundation bike ride to Villa Park
Saint_clark replied to DuncanRG's topic in The Saints
Maybe get T-shirts with "Keep MoPo" on the back and all ride in front of him in a row. -
Ralph Krueger signs up for Saints Foundation bike ride to Villa Park
Saint_clark replied to DuncanRG's topic in The Saints
You do realise that not a single penny raised for the Saints foundation goes towards the running costs of the club, right? -
Not just about pace, the lad puts absolutely everything he has into chasing the ball sometimes. You can see in his face how hard he is working out there on the pitch. Legend.
-
Unfortunately it takes a lot more than that to destroy data on a hard drive. And yeah, the only reason I could think for his identity being kept a secret "to protect the victim" is that he's a member of the family...
-
Disgusting, no doubt about it, but the article itself states that the images are not child porn.
-
Oh, brilliant. So now if it does end up being moved I can't go as I told work that I'm available. Totally wrong that they can leave it this late, if BT want to show the Chelsea game that badly then go ahead, just don't show ours.
-
Will be literally the most sought after manager in the world regardless of what happens this season, and should he win either the league or Champions League I don't see why he'd want to leave Atletico when he can just build on that.
-
So with United going out are we still playing on the saturday?

Sunderland through to Champions League semi-final
Saint_clark replied to CB Fry's topic in The Saints
People don't actually say that, do they? How is plain red a unique kit... -
Erm, nope! No idea where you got that idea from. They're a big enough club to be making a go of it in the Prem, why would they come up 'just for the money'?
-
Beat me to it.
