hypochondriac

I'd be interested to know what did happen.

Absolutely this and these were all markedly better than virtually every game this season on Sunday. THAT was the main difference.

doddisalegend seems to be the only poster banging this particular drum. In the majority of games this season we have looked pedestrian and posed little or no threat. West Ham 2nd half, Watford, Liverpool and Wolves to name a few. We din't look quite so bad against Burnley and United but we were still poor and lacked much of a threat in front of goal. It's not true to try to claim that what we saw on Sunday was not very different from the dross we have had to sit through. I've watched every game and for once I felt like I actually got my moneys worth.

Common sense statements like that have no place here.

Exactly. Lets not forget that 7 of those goals came in just two games, suggesting that the opposition we played in those two were particularly poor. 6 goals in the remaining 11 games is incredibly poor. Yesterday was a big improvement but we will find out soon if it was just an anomaly. I hope not.

The irony of you invoking my name on here- again- to have an unprovoked pop at me is clearly lost on you. Tell you what, feel free to look at our posts and let's see which of us brings up the other person's name in an unrelated thread and seemingly for no reason more often.

Why can't you just enjoy a win and a good performance? It's so utterly tiresome to see you chasing people around the forum to be antagonistic.

I don't even think it's the scoring. Had we played like that today and failed to score obviously everyone would be annoyed in light of our poor run of form but I would still have considered it an improved performance from what we have dished up lately.

I think most people are enjoying it. I really can't understand though how someone coukd have watched that performance and seen no difference to how we normally play. It was night and day.

I think his point was that in his mind we won but didn't play any better than we normally do other than scoring. I strongly disagree abd my suspicion is that my view would be the majority one.

Well yes but you could say that about virtually every performance. The fact is we did score and we scored some goals with some decent attacking moves- moves that we have done incredibly rarely this season.

I'm sorry but I can't agree with you at all. Backheels and flicks today, positive balls forward to the byline and then effective crosses in. The first goal came from an attacking move. We haven't scored one of them since he West ham game ffs! Lots more chances and I didn't consider our moves slow at all. Overall a big improvement.

A great win and finally we played differently to how we have done for weeks. We actually moved the ball quickly and had some good passing movements. Bit disappointed that it took injuries and suspensions to players to force changes that allowed hojberg and Austin to show what they can do. We really should have played Austin against Liverpool but it appears he has proved a point now and I would be playing him- fitness permitting- at every opportunity. I now want to see more of the same against City. I expect a loss but I want to see the same style of football and preferably the same players. If we revert back to the same football and players that have failed so far this season then i will still want pellegrino out. Please keep this going saints.

OK 'mate' whatever you say. I mean it's not like we have years of posts from the original poster which may give an indication as to his intentions.

No I mean more like seeing how suggestible the fans can be and how behaviour can be influenced.

You shouldn't assume someone's gender identity. It is an act of violence.

It was a joke...

No offence Guan and I know you've been on here for years, but I'm a little suspicious about your recent posts. It comes across a bit like you are doing some coordinated effort in service of the club. You're disagreements with K Billy are strange too.

Thats a really defeatist attitude and really if we are going to sack him anyway, we might as well give the new man as much time as possible.

Somethibg like spark or leaf would work. Ambiguous enough to get people questioning it fro the outset- particularly if you dye your hair orange or something.

That is absolutely superb. Genuinely better than almost every chant we have from the terraces.

I actually think that would be a good solution. Certainly preferable to Mx or something else like that.

You would have no way of telling any of those things from posts on a forum. You can quite easily see that someone displays signs of autism from a posting style and a tendency to take everything literally and robotically over a number of years.the evidence is the number of posts.

In rare cases where there is a defect, these people would have a disorder. It's not some third gender in the same way that if a baby is born without an arm they aren't a new class of human. I think we are talking about two different things here anyway. Intersex and hermaphrodites etc deserve understanding and help. People who pretend that there's no such thing as male and female and who consequently decide they are grey gender or gender fluid or a non binary animal kin need an entirely different type of help. They do real damage to actual transsexuals with gender dysphoria who just want to transition from one gender to another.
