SNSUN

Not watching the game just following you lot posting and SSN. More hoping Stoke win today as whatever our result if Stoke win then it hasn't been too bad a day. Although yes Leeds are winning but still...

Happy New Year All! Best Goal: KWP against Bristol City - but how good would that AA effort against Plymouth have been if it had dropped a metre lower! Best Signing: Tie between THB and Downes. Ironically both loan signings. The only other one that comes close is Alcaraz really - I hope he really comes good in the second half of the season. That goal on Friday will do him wonders. Worst Signing: Orsic - not even a debate. Game to remember: Saints 4 - Norwich 4 but only because I was there and took my 5 year old for her first game. Money/Time pending, I hope to take her more in 2024. Honourable mention to Arsenal 3 - Saints 3 which I watched in the pub surrounded by Arsenal fans and we were 2 minutes away from winning it 3-1 with me giving it the biggun. Game to forget: Game? I want to forget the entire 2023 portion of our Premier League season. From this season it would be the Sunderland thrashing. Player Of The Year: Kyle Walker-Peters.

Philogene has looked excellent for Hull when I've seen him - before he got injured. I thought they'd only got him on loan so I was surprised to see recently that he's there on a permanent. He'll be in the Prem soon one way or another - I believe Villa have some sort of £15 million buy back clause if Hull get promoted, kind of like a fancy loan. We got him on a free transfer IIRC so the £20 million is all profit. I think it was quite a good deal for that money. He would have done a job for us this season but would we have been in a better place with Tella than we are now without him? Not sure.

As long as they get a few lucky strikes I'll be happy.

And yet on 19k a week he will earn more than most of us will our entire working lives. Need to get my butt down the gym though at 43 I'm probably a bit late. ☺️

The wife (and her whole family) are Norwich fans and are all revelling in the fact they could be the ones to derail our unbeaten run. They certainly have some decent players, I think a draw wouldn't be a bad result here. But sod it, let's predict a win. 2-1 to Saints.

Holgate on 70k - might explain why we plan on letting him go back to Everton in January - his contributions have not been worth that. At least Aribo has started to earn his money even if he's still a long way away from being worth 70k. GIVE KWP A NEW CONTRACT FFS!!! Oh and McCarthy - that's just disgusting.

He is. And if we go up, he's ours.

Accurate. We were almost completely dominant and yet it's thanks to a disallowed goal from them that should have stood that we haven't fucked two points here. We still need to be more clinical and Baz needs to stop the brain farts. Other than that it was a decent performance which was (initially) without Downes, Aribo and Stu in midfield, all who have been key players for us lately.

3 points but no thanks to Baz for screwing the clean sheet and a better goal difference.

Fucking hell Saints you really know how to make a dominant performance look edgy

Ooh Fraser should have finished

6 mins of injury time.

Awful

Bazunu you prick

This definitely could have been another 4 or 5 nil game but for better finishing/reffing but bar a couple of small spells we've been dominant throughout.

Stopped on the line! Stephens attempt.

Oh blocked from Mara. Corner

So they take it short and get an offside... 😝

Corner Saints. Extra CB on too...

Stephens for AA

Check out their shots on target and you won't be worried.

Good work Mara

Edozie has been excellent tonight but I'm surprised he's not the one to be subbed. He's worked his butt off.

Triple sub. Fraser Aribo and SA on
