  1. As a neutral, I was so fed up with the bias of the BT commentary team, that I was delighted with the penalty and late goal. All you needed was for McMannaman and Keown to start calling each other blood and it could have been full on Arsenal TV. Good game though, Arsenal really caused City problems until Gilberto did his usual .
  2. Used to like Newcastle United, have some mates up there who support them, but now I just hope they crash and burn. From the threats of legal action and the dodgy corporate structure to get the bone saw brigade takeover done , and now this manipulation of the system to get two 6 pointers delayed until the transfer window opens. Now we could be facing MBappe and Halland up front instead of Dwight Gayle ( in their dreams ). Not sure who is likely to sign for them and risk swapping the Champions league for the Championship next year. My guess is a few loans and maybe a couple that want a final big contract. The PL/EFL should say that any new signings cant play in the re-arranged games, as it skews the competition and the games were called of under special circumstances. Also suspensions should be counted in the 13 outfield players available for the match, as a suspension is supposed to hurt you, not help you get a game called of because you don't fancy it at the moment !
  3. Doherty was travelling and his forward momentum caused Forster to drop the ball. You can rarely touch a keeper, let alone if you are in motion. Think back to the Villa game last year, when Martinelli hit Romeu and the goal was ruled out. Mom for me Jan Vallery, out of position, especially 2nd half. Looks like he might be back.
  4. Can see us struggling to get a team out for that now, particularly at the back. Salisu should have just let Son run on, it was obvious that Taylor wouldn't be happy until he'd sent at least one of ours off !
  5. I know we only have 4 covid cases, but if that results in Shane Long starting, surely that is a case for postponement ! We are obviously saving players for Sunday, but not looking forward to this afternoon. Time to stock up the fridge !
  6. Quite right, if you are fouling someone outside the box, then carry on fouling them I the box, then it's a penalty. The des walker tug on overmars years ago comes to mind. Had hold of him outside the box, but forgot to let go of him when they crossed the line.
  7. Yes, but I live in France. Saw them in Paris in 2010. Never rated ' fight this generation ' until I saw them live.
  8. I would take a different position, I missed a load of bands in the 90s , because I stopped listening to radio one, because of Dave Pierce and some other fuckwitt I the mornings made my drive into work unlistenable. Missed out on Pavement that way, my favourite band now. Got tickets to see them at Primavera, hopefully goes ahead after 4 postponements.
  9. I did a maths degree, but didn't sign up for the big number theory u it's, but I think it will be massive.
  10. Salisu, Romeu and Stuart Armstrong
  11. Lets hope we don't concede any corners before McCarthy gets fit . FFS
  12. We were doing ok for the first 20 , then two stupid decisions cost us. KWP went for a press that he was never going to get, which left us wide open for the first. For the 2nd, my stream buffered while JWP was pointing at Tierney running past him, rather than sticking with him. Nobody picked Tierney up, even though there were 20 seconds of pissing about on the other side before the ball came in. Everyone was ball watching. 2 nil game over against a poor Arsenal team. Diallo has been anonymous. Hope Broja steps up and links with Tella abit to make the 2nd half more interesting.
  13. I liked him as a player. The chipped pass for Long to score against Vittesse showed vision, temperament and technique. Most strikers we have had since would have just wellyed it and hoped it missed the keeper. It is a big shame he couldn't settle in Southampton, but you can't blame a guy for moving on to San Sebastian and then Seville !
  14. They keep denying it, but history should show them that it wasn't the burglary that forced Nixon to quit, it was the cover up!
  15. They made a film The Damned United about the dirty Leeds, they never bothered making a film about The Ale House Brawlers. That puts the size of the clubs into perspective
  16. That was in the bag until injury time Yes Brighton had loads of possession, but weren't really hurting us with it, but once the board went up, Saints, almost to a man, turned into Sunday League players. A 50p head header from Salisu, that crappie corner that ended up with Ely getting booked, Jwp not playing it up the channel and finally Jwp decides to be the first Saints player in years to stand on the post at a set price and blows the offside trap! We should be comfortable in mid table, but stupid decisions are killing us.
  17. Forster, S Armstrong and Bednarek all out injured .
  18. I thought we did ok against a team that is man for man better than ours. If you picked an eleven from the two squads last night I think Redmond or Salsiu might get in, but that is it. Armstrong needs to learn to play a one two. Sit him down and make him watch Channons goal against Liverpool ( 200 pass move in 82 ) until he gets it. Too many attacks slowed down while he tried to take people on instead. Also, bringing Dewsbury-Hall on changed the game, as if we put a man on him it left his butler unmarked ! .
  19. I watched the first half of the Wolves game in a hotel room, walked the dog and had a quick beer at half time. I thought about going back to watch the end of the game, checked my phone , saw that Long had come on and so ordered another beer instead!
  20. Try installing Windscribe, s free VPN, makes Amazon think that you are in Essex
  21. Crazy formation. There is no midfield protecting the back 3 , Livramento doesn't have a clue about his defensive position. Just awful. Switch to a back four FFS and try and keep the goal difference in single digits. At least the 3 up front has caused more problems than last week, but that is not saying much. And Broja is more like the Albanian Shane Long today, LOOK ALONG THE F ING LINE !
  22. The Kat was superb that day! I Wasn't planning to go to that game, but got given the heave ho by a girl the day before, and there was a space in the car , so off I went. Had a dream the night before where I asked my dad how Saints got on and he said they won one nil! I replied Wish I'd gone !
  23. Usual first half, not getting the 2nd goal while on top. Missed the equaliser, letting the dog in. From what have read, my dog would have saved it. 2nd half was awful and none of the subs worked. Broja was even worse than Walcot.
  24. I think Kane has stayed on holiday in Miami, but Daniel Levy has hired a look-a-like to save face .
  25. Created soo much in the first half, could have been 2 nil up after 3 minutes. Great goal but didn't take the easy ones. Good performances all round, but with some better decisions we would have been out of sight.
