Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd

Disappointed to have thrown away the lead, again, but if you'd offered me a draw before the game I'd have taken it. Any point is a welcome point at the moment. If we can get something at Leeds it would be superb.

Based on recent form, Fraser. Disappointed to see that Ralph is going to play McCarthy on Sunday. I honestly think that's a big mistake. Let's not forget, McCarthy has conceded 12 in 2 games. That must do something to your confidence. If a striker scored in every one of his last four appearances he'd be straight in the team. A keeper keeps 4 clean sheets and gets dropped. It makes no sense. Keeper error to cost us points on Sunday, anyone?

Armstrong is my favourite Saints player. Very underrated. I'm sure we've won games when he hasn't played, but it does feel that if his name isn't on the starting sheet then we don't win. He makes a huge difference. Be interested to see know many games we've won when he hasn't played.

Great result. Just hope that puts us back on track in the league, although knowing Saints we'll probably do what we did against Arsenal after we knocked them out if the cup. Hope I'm wrong. Thought that Fraser played well. He'd be in my starting 11 on Sunday. Not sure what Salisu thought he was doing. That very nearly cost us our lead. Redmond doesn't look like he could hit a barn door at the moment.

I've asked him where he thinks the next points are going to come from, that's all. I'm not asking him to provide an answer so that I can head off to the bookies. I was merely looking for opinions. Isn't that the point of an internet forum? I appreciate that it's hard to predict anything at the moment, particularly when we've only picked up 6 points from 10 games and beaten the league champions (which I doubt anybody expected) and then dropped points against some awful teams and been beaten 9-0 by Man Utd. Hence my question. Where do people think our next points are going to come from? Do you not look at the fixture list and think, I can't see us getting points against Chelsea or Everton, but Wolves is a possibility?

Are you aware that people are 8 times more likely to post on an internet forum or review page when they've had a bad experience? Obviously not. Ever thought about being a politician? You seem to be very good at skirting questions and offering little in the way of answers.

Why don't you just answer the question and we'll see if you're right. When do you think Saints will rediscover their form and pick up their next points?

Anyone want to place a bet on where the next points are going to come from? I genuinely don't see us getting to 40 points this season. 35 would be a miracle at this rate.

He had Djenepo sat on the bench and chose to let Redmond see out the game against 9 men. Inexcusable.

At this rate I'd be surprised if they manage to stay up. This is Saints. Probably the only club who could top the Premier league and be relegated in the same season. Just another embarrassing record to add to the growing collection.

Can someone tell me where the next points are going to come from. What's that, 1 win in 10 or 11?, I've lost count.

We never seem to win when Armstrong doesn't play.

We are fucking shite.

So at what point do people consider a score to be a thrashing? Is 4-0 a thrashing or just a bad day at he office?

Pre Premier League, from 1970. 70/71 5-1 v Man Utd. 71/72 8-0 v Everton. 7-0 v Leeds Utd. 72/73 4-0 v Derby Co. 73/74 7-0 v Ipswich. 6-2 v Derby Co. 74/75 4-0 v Millwall 75/76 4-1 v Charlton Ath. 76/77 6-2 v Charlton Ath. 77/78 3-0 v Millwall 78/79 4-0 v Leeds Utd & Coventry City. 79/80 4-0 v WBA 80/81 7-1 v Watford. 81/82 5-2 v Ipswich. 82/83 6-0 v Spurs. 83/84 4-0 v QPR. 84/85 5-1 v Spurs. 85/86 7-0 v Luton Town. 86/87 5-1 v Man Utd. 87/88 4-0 v Everton. 88/89 6-1 v Luton Town. 89/90 3-0 v Everton & Liverpool. 90/91 6-2 v Derby Co. 91/92 5-1 v Arsenal. Saints conceded 4 or more goals in a game in 20 out of 22 seasons. 5 or more in 13 seasons. 6 or more in 8 seasons. 7 or more in 4 seasons. 8 or more in 1 season. Between the 70/71 season and the 91/92 season, there was only 2 seasons where they didn't concede more than 3 goals in a game.

Since the Premier League Began, here's the games we conceded the most goals in, by season... 92/93 5-2 v Sheff Wed. Arsenal, Spurs and Oldham all put 4 past us that season. 93/94 4-0 v Arsenal. 94/95 5-1 v Newcastle Utd. 95/96 4-1 v Man Utd. 4-2 v Arsenal and 4-3 v Notts Forest. 96/97 7-1 v Everton. 97/98 4-0 v Derby. 4-2 v Chelsea and 4-3 v Barnsley. 98/99 7-1 v Liverpool. 5-0 v Charlton. 99/00 7-2 v Spurs. 5-0 v Newcastle Utd. 00/01 5-0 v Man Utd. 01/02 6-1 v Man Utd. 02/03 6-1 v Arsenal. 03/04 4-0 v Chelsea. 04/05 5-1 v Spurs. 12/13 6-1 v Arsenal. 13/14 4-1 v Man City. 14/15 3-0 v Man City. 15/16 3-0 v Everton. 16/17 4-1 v Spurs. 4-2 v Chelsea 17/18 5-2 v Spurs. 18/19 6-1 v Man City. 19/20 9-0 v Leicester. 20/21 9-0 v Man Utd... So far. 😉 Non Premier League 05/06 4-3 v Leeds Utd. 06/07 3-1 v Preston & Man City. 07/08 5-0 v Hull & Sheff Wed. 5-1 v Preston. 08/09 4-1 v QPR & Coventry. 09/10 4-1 v P*mpey. 10/11 3-0 v Swindon Town 11/12 3-0 v Brighton & Blackpool. Is 4-0 considered a thumping or just a shit result? At what point do people consider a result a thrashing??? In 29 seasons, Saints have conceded 4 or more goals in a game in 24 of those seasons. 5 or more goals in 15 of those seasons. 6 or more in 9 season. 7 or more in 5 seasons and 8 or more in 2. There have only been 5 seasons where they've not conceded more than 3 goals in a game.

I was looking at the Koeman era and that seems to have been one of our better periods defensively. Just remembered that Man City stuck 6 past us in 2018. I honestly can't think of another team who've had as many annual hidings.

Has anyone got a list of our biggest defeats by season? I've got a horrible feeling that our club may feature more than any other when it comes to biggest defeats of the season. A good thumping seems to be an annual event for Saints. A few that come to mind, 7-0 at Luton. 7-1 at Watford. A 5-0 and a couple of 6-1's against Arsenal. 7-1 and 6-1 against Liverpool. 7-1 at Everton. Spurs have often put 5 past us and I seem to recall them beating us 7-2.

I heard that Maguire said 'Oh come on' to Dean when he gave the penalty.

Nope. 😕

In the unlikely event I were to win a grand it would at least soften the blow a little. I won over £700 last night. I had a feeling Utd would score at least 4, so that came in. I then put a bet on at half time for Utd to score more in the second half than they had in the first. All I'm doing is having a bet on a game of football. It doesn't change my support for the club. It's just a way of making a few quid and it's easy money given our current form.

Exactly. The game has been ruined by money and VAR. I wish I could just forget about it and this bloody club that keeps me awake at night. It's just not that simple.

Yes. The club is fucked. We are simply delaying the inevitable. The owner wants to sell the club so won't invest any more money. Who would buy a football club in the current climate? We borrowed £80m at a rate of about 10%. The interest on the loan is about £7m a year. That's a player! Arsenal & Spurs borrowed nearly twice that amount at a rate of 0.5%. The banks clearly see us as a massive risk. One report suggested that were expected the relegated in the next two years. Ralph has done his best under very difficult circumstances. He must know he's fighting a lost cause and that his best players will have to be sold in the summer. Let's be honest. There will be plenty of other clubs where he could walk into a job and not have to suffer all the behind the scenes shit that comes with Saints. Being brutally honest, we're simply delaying the inevitable. Relegation. We simply don't have the investment or the backing of someone who loves football - If such a thing exists anymore? Even if we hadn't had this bad run of Injuries and results and we were sitting in the top 6, we'd still be in a position where our manager will attract attention and move on, likewise with our best players. There won't be a Markus to save us this time. He must be turning in his grave at the way things have turned out.

I know, but £5.00 would give a return of a grand. 😉
