Saint NL

Lyanco smashing Martinelli out the park. Think we'll need a few of those today

I'm enjoying Alan Smith giving 110% on the pronunciation of player names. He's adding a real zazz to it

Classic Ralph You've been shite for weeks, so instead of dropping you, congrats you're our new number 9 🤣

Liquid football. I feel this might be a waste of two hours of my weekend 🙈

Stevie G sacked, official

Bednarek taken off at half time for villa.

Hes got this way of grinding out a result when it really matters. You think he's gone but he's still there holding on, like an unflushable turd.

Wow, three points. Overall a pretty horrid performance, but some encouraging signs at least. The game management towards the end was surprisingly good. Che is very important to the team, there's a huge difference when he's playing well. His hold up play is superb. Much needed, well done lads 👍

If any of our players could shoot we'd have won this comfortably

Jesus, that was close. Why aren't we wasting time?

Are our players fit? Perraud and AMN looked knackered.coming off

More subs. Are we bringing on two more left backs?

I got excited then when the commentator said it was the first appearance of the season for Sir Ricky 🤣

Sub him for Edozie. We are having some success on the break so might as well

Even if we win this, it doesn't "feel" like a victory. This is rancid.

Saints fans singing "you don't know what you're doing" and "sacked in the morning"

This is a repeat of the west ham game.

That's a huge miss. Same old, do our best to chuck away a lead straight after half time

It was off the pitch when he tackled him, not sure how the ref decided they needed the same punishment

Same. Are you watching on Peacock too?

Simple. Get a clean sheet and we win.

Great goal. Elyounoussi got lucky a few times but he kept going. Let's keep it going

I can't see passed a 4-3 thriller victory tonight lads. When two finely tuned powerhouse teams like this go head to head, you expect goals.

They need to fire Ralph before we hit one of those 6-8 game runs where we look invincible. If he's still here when that happens, then he buys himself another year and we're in this situation again in a few weeks.

I agree. The problem is, that he was probably the best midfielder out there today, so dropping him actually makes the team worse (if that's possible).
