Would you encourage a grand-child still to be a Saints fan

Lol lol What a load of balls, you’ve backtracked when you realised what a plank you were- end of. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -
Tadic, "We are ashamed and it's all our fault"
Lord Duckhunter replied to Norm's topic in The Saints
I don’t expect Tadic to be brave in tackles or headers, I don’t expect him to go flying around the pitch winning 50/50 that’s not his game. I do expect him to be brave on the ball, to be brave in showing for the ball in tight spaces, and be brave in possession, he’s been none of these for months and months. Him and Boufal have enough quality to get us out of this mess, but neither are man enough to do so. Times up, as far as I’m concerned. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -

Really? I was born in Southampton but moved away when I was 7. Should I have changed teams then? Seeing as I moved to Taunton, who should I have supported? I moved to Poole over 20 years ago & had 4 boys. When they got to 7 or 8 and started wanting to come to football with their dad, should I have said “**** off you plastic, go to Boscombe on your own and watch your local team”. **** me, what are ultras like you going to make of my grandson, he was born in Poole to a dad who was born in Poole, his only connection to Southampton was his grandad lived there until 1971.

I’d change formation for this one. Go with a back 3, Bertrand as left CB ( he did ok for Ronald there), Stephens as right CB & Yoshida as centre. JWP & McQueen as wing backs Central 3 to clog up that area. PEH, OR & Lemina (only because there’s nobody else). Up top I’d go for Sims in the 10, with Long up top. Sit deep, get bodies in defensive positions, hit them on the break. Clearly getting goals will be the issue, so leaving Charlie out looks stupid. But, we won’t get up the pitch to create any thing for him. Long & Sims have the pace to create something out of nothing. We can always bring Charlie on for the last 20 IF we’re still in it.

I think I was pretty easy to lip read at 4:50pm on Sat, but just in case those soft arses in red and white couldn't, I gave them some sign language as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On paper yes, but it was the nature of yesterday's surrender that was worrying. No doubt we'll play better next week because you have to. Play poorly against a top 6 side and you'll get beat 5 or 6, the players self preservation takes over. I think we'd all have taken 3 points from West Ham & Arsenal, so maybe we can salvage something. One thing for sure, to stay up you need to produce a surprise result. Next Sunday ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At least they’ve now booted the anti Semite off the NEC. Are they going to replace her with somebody in tune with their working class voters, someone not part of the metropolitan elite. Er........... no Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If true, he should be charged & banned. Why anyone would want to show that shower of Shiite support, or want Bertrand’s shirt after his lack of effort, is beyond me. ****ing soft arse supporters. If he tried to give me his shirt I’d have told him to stick it where the sun don’t shine. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Why do people write nonsense like this. We’ve spent about 10 years of the last 45 outside the top flight. I’ll be amazed if we’re not back up in 5 years. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Don’t talk rubbish, it’s not even the worst on field or off field management this century. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

There was a very heated argument between a bloke & women in front of me just before half time, it continued at the start of second half until they were told to shut up. The women was basically having a go because the bloke was slagging off the players. Whether this continued at the end I don’t know,, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it did. Lowest of the low if he did smack her, but **** me she was annoying. Players deserved clog, not some silly moo clapping them. Emotions were running quite high, but some **** wits were actually clapping the players at the end. . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My nipper turned to me as we were driving home from a game at Swindon in league 1 and said “ why make me support Saints”. He then had 6 or 7 of the greatest seasons and memories that’ll last him a lifetime. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -
So despite being the only player that made any effort to actually shoot, despite putting a great shift in and putting the rest to shame, despite being the only one that physically tried to match their players , despite giving the supporters some hope, you’re complaining about him starting?

We need some real men in the side, we’re a team of ****ing son in laws. Whose going to shake a few up, both opposition players & their own. JWP being the poster boy of the club ****ing sums the whole place up. Although technically limited Yoshida is tough, he must start, as must OR. Long & Austin need to play, they’re about the only two we’ve got that have got an attitude that winds up opposition supporters (apart from Tadic rolling around like a big fairy). Davo, although over the hill, won’t shirk and hide like most did yesterday. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So despite finishing higher or as high for 3 seasons, despite going further in both cups, despite European qualification twice, players like Mane, VvD, Pelle, Toby, Tadic, didn’t “ measure up”. To have got these cheap replacements to the same position as Poch and a cup final, Claude must be some manager. What Ronald Koeman did with these must have been genius. I know you remoaners like to make up your own facts, but that’s just a ridiculous post. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Nonsense. Him Long and the keeper were the only 3 to come out with any credit at all. He was head and shoulders above the rest in terms of effort and application Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

****ing disgraceful performance today. Absolutely going through the motions, deserves to miss out on the World Cup. Totally unprofessional Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

On the train home now. Still ****ed off . Embarrassing, some players should be ashamed of themselves . Both full backs going through the motions, disgraceful. Centre halves are shot. How Lemina managed to come out second half is beyond me. PEH, better second half, but poor poor first, don't really matter that he played better second half, because he was poor when it mattered . Tadic, was average , too lightweight. Redmond one of the better ones, but still poor . Gabbi, average . The only players that I absolve was the keeper & Charlie Austin. The rest were a ****ing disgrace . I thought Newcastle was bad, but this was worse. We're going down end of. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wealdstone FC are doing the same. Pretty decent bar, free parking, food and The Raider made an appearance last time. Anyone interested the blokes name is James and his number is 0797979 5414. So if others get booked up maybe worth a shout. We're going by train this time, but it's ok if you're in car or coach Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The beat explanation I heard was from Gab Marcotti. He reckons this obsession with "clear and obvious " is confusing everyone. When it comes to facts , VAR overrules the referee and it doesn't have to be "clear or obvious ", because a fact is a fact. You're either off side or you're not offside. Was it offside, was the foul in the box or not etc. Subjective decisions the VAR can't over rule the ref but can advise him to go and have a look on the pitch side monitor. The referee then decides if he's made an error. Only he can decide if he's made a clear and obvious error as it's a subjective thing. A clear and obvious error implies that 9 or 10 out of 10 people will agree its an error, whereas in reality the only thing that matters is whether 1 person thinks it's an error, the referee.
