Following their early 2-0 leads against Liverpool and West Ham I fully expect an almost similar pattern……..with the exception of us scoring a goal never mind two !!

I noticed when the first goal went in all our players gathered around in a circle. I thought they were giving themselves a pep talk and telling wach other "right, we have to go for this" ! I was wrong, absolutely fuck all changed. Interesting also that quite a few crosses went into the box first half, inc a lovely ball in from Theo. Yet as soon as Tall Paul came on we stopped worrying about putting crosses into the box.......

🤣youe not giving up home lasted one sentence 🤣

You can add ABK, Adams and Orisic at least to that list, they will all be wanted......well maybe not Orisic but he wont stay.

I will be interested to see the calibre of club that comes in for him.

With the goals coming from??? im sorry but I just don’t see it. I think Pep would struggle given the quality…..or lack of……striker. Tessem, for once, was right on Solent. This all started to unravel 2-3 years ago.

i think you may need to manage their expectations a little 🤣

If we had Niemi in goal and Phillips, Crouch, Ormerod and Camara up front we wouldnt be in the shite this season. The defence and midified this season is, in my opinion, much better............but I am haunted and possibly swayed by the memory of Olivier Bernard and especially his "performance" on a wet, miserable day in Blackburn that season.

Of all the must wins we have blown this season this is probably the last one and anything other than 3 points will be curtains even for the most deluded optimist. Shit or bust.

I think it was more a case of best available at the time and given the position we were in. On a level playing field wouldn’t make a top 10 in most people’s list.

Its funny its happened twice with him now.

That would be similar to the Livramento clause with Chelsea then. I wonder if the City one is after two seasons like the Tino one ?

Exactly, its not rocket science. I couldnt go, put it on the Exchange but have no idea (as yet) if it sold. Many season ticket holders possibly didnt put it up for sale knowing they couldnt go.

If he stays Tall Paul will absolutely tear up the Championship defenders IF we find a couple of people who can cross a ball into the area.

Selles is too much of a cautious Carol for me. The time has come....or will do next Saturday against Palace, where caution has to take a back seat cos this really is shit or bust, moreso than the previous shit or bust games which we have blown every bloody time. We cant blow this one !

Wishful thinking I'm afraid. they will all go. The only good thing is with those going plus JWP and KWP obviously is the amount of money we should bring in to rebuild. I know you dont get or can command quite so much once youve gone down BUT if more than one club want a player that'll bump it back up a few million.

Don’t get me wrong, Theo has done pretty well since coming back in…..but as the target forward? Nah

I think I’ll take it match by match next season then if we are up near the top and going for promotion/playoffs take up the half year season ticket option around Christmas.

I kind of admire your belief that it ain’t over til it’s over but at the same time convince yourself it is, you can only be pleasantly surprised that way if a miracle happens 🤣

I have a terrible feeling Bourenmouth will beat Brighton tonight. The Cherries have won their last four games at home to them.

No, I really can’t

Start them two, start Tall Paul, get the ball in the box to him and have runners coming into the box looking to pick up any scraps. It’s the only chance we have, I think anyway.

Having watched Saints since 1976 I can honestly say I cannot think of a worse, more ineffective forward line. We literally have nothing in attack. The only thing we might have is Tall Paul who, when he gets a cross on his head, hits the bar……but he won’t get game time, that’s obvious. We are toast.

No

you dont have to be so literal ALL the time Alex ! its comparable, even you must getthe drift of that !
