5string

JWP's not played particularly well today, imo. I know he's not the only one, but I'm sure Davis could make a difference with his searing pace, pinpoint passing, deadly free kicks.....

:lol: Those pansies need some assistance.

Right, I went outside after 32 minutes [to do some gardening before it got too dark]. What have I missed? Do we still have a point as it stands?

We're 2nd to every 50:50 ball. In fact, we're 2nd to every 60:40

Vary tries to put another Saints player out of action by hacking ankles! Can't someone just stick a stud on his kneecap or something?

You're right, of course. My mistake. Seems more recent. They've still got a bit of that quality, though.

Leicester look like a side that played Champions League football this season... ... oh. We look like a Championship side... ... oh.

Well, I was hopeful before this game, and especially at 2-0 up, but seeing the capitulation is soul-destroying. The expectation of relegation is merely self-protection against further hopes being destroyed. I still hope we stay up, always will until it's mathematically impossible, but...

The players look like they can't be ar$ed again, like they've given up.

Mike Dean's target is now to get a Saints player sent off, so we have even less of a chance in the cup semi.

Yup. As predicted. 3 goals conceded in 8 minutes. Relegation stuff.

Needed 3. Had 3. Not sure we'll get 1 now.

Aaaaaand there it is. FFS!!!

Bednarek! Haha fantastic! 2-0 you beauties! Reminded me of a LeTissier/Wallace combo v Liverpool years back.

Corner - big fellas up, walking in like Reservoir Dogs

Yikes that was all a bit scary. We need to settle on the ball.

Good advantage, to be fair. Nearly scored.

Both Robbies on my stream also saying it was a clear red.

Is that possible? Can he be cited for that after the game? Hope so.

Ref had perfect view - did nothing. Imagine if a Saints player had done that, would've been a straight red. Chelsea playing dirty today.

Was a good tackle, got the ball, kept his trailing leg out of it. Chelsea player fell over screaming like an opera understudy! Hoj shouldn't have kicked the ball away though. Now JWP yellow! Eh?! What about all those hands in faces by Chelsea? Elbow to Long's neck? Come on ref, open your eyes!

He needs to not calm down, get himself sent off and give us an advantage. Jeez the ref is giving them everything.

On the other hand I have a lot more confidence in McCarthy than Forster. Ooh, a goal as I type! Hurrah! 1-0 Saints. Nice run Bertrand, cute ball in, cool finish Tadic.

So, JRod has been 'cleared' of his racism charge. 'Not proven' was the verdict - no testimony was strong enough to be proven the correct version, so it was dismissed. I'm pleased about this - I never put him down as a racist. Gobby at times, maybe, but not crossing the line. Also good to see several current & former Saints players being counted as character witnesses for him: Lallana, Kelvin, Yoshi, Long, as well as Pochettino.

Was gonna say Kolasinac should've gone too, for pushing Stephens. Oh wait! Who's gone for Arsenal?
