Saint86

When you put it that way, he is a bit of a hero. Does what the boss asks, doesn't need to do anything exceptional or try to hard, massively overpaid, loving life...

he was talking crap ^_^, often does in fact. But none of this is related to the Chelsea game imo.

This is great. Thank you for sharing

Are you mental? Suggesting something as mundane as that on this forum?!?! I think you'll find that he hates saints, thinks we're a terrible club thats destined for relegation, wishes he'd never signed that new contract 8months ago, and is on strike agitating to leave. Injured?!?! Pah! Edit - He's also fed up because we have noddy fans that occasionally wear face paint, and have players that don't pass to him.

Losing Ings for free (plus wages) would have simply delayed relegation another year at most. In addition, its very plausible that he could have stayed, picked up injuries, and still seen saints relegated regardless (in which case a fit striker is infinitely better). I think you're also forgetting he managed 12goals last season, and our bad form corresponded with his injuries and poor form following that - would you risk that again this year? Knowing that we would still have to replace him in the summer and with no monies from his sale? I'd suggest that that way lies ruin, and the club did the only think it could do - which was to bite villa's hand off for the offered £30m.

Yeah exactly this. Utter nonsense from him. He managed to commentate the entire goal without mentioning or covering Jimenez or either CB. Unless they were playing at CB themselves, our fullbacks would have had zero bearing on that goal, the longball came down immediately behind bednarek, Jimenez took a couple of touches running almost full pelt at goal the whole time. No way either full back intercepts that goal. It was just one of those moments, complete class from Jimenez, sat down both of our CB's with great control and composure, lethal. Trust him to break a 330+ day duck like that vs saints when he was dog last week as well. On Jenas, he's fair in what he said in that we struggle to score, albeit i thought both he and Keown were quite disingenuous over how much Wolves just parked the bus for most of the game. Ultimately though, we do have to start focussing on attack. Can't afford to go too much longer without a win or morale will suffer!

This is utter nonsense. Pony in fact. Wolves' goal came off of a longball from the goalkeeper straight to Jiminez.... 🙃 What do you want our attackers to do from the opposing keepers goal kick?!?!?! Outside of that goal, they had 1 chance prior to scoring and we totally outplayed them. They parked the bus and won with a very well taken goal from a top class striker. The only real complaint saints can have from today is that our new look attack has the age old problem of not being able to break down a well drilled defence.

Moment of class from jiminez in a smash and grab win. It happens.

It looked like a total shithole until he got to Ocean Village 😅

Adams and Armstrong have the making of a good pairing. Che should be starting every game, and as someone else has said, sort out the CAMs behind them.

A game we really do need to win imo, fairly confident that we will do so. Would say a 2-1 or 2-0 win to saints. Armstrong to score.

Yeah tbf i rate blackmore. I like DM as well over the years and listen to his oppinions, but i do find he can turn quite negative quite quickly. Hard to tell if thats because he's having a bit of an old man's grump at times, or whether its the old school football man in him calling it how it is. Loving a bit of Jo Tessem for the cup games though. Always liked him when he was at the club and its nice to have a few more of that generation of players around and about the club.

Ralph's got a good record vs Chelsea, and our style seemed to cause Tuchel problems last year. If we were going to play a big team then i'd pick chelsea over someone like city or Liverpool. Definitely winnable.

Bit of a cup tie broke out tonight, not pretty, but a tidy win and good to progress! Reminded me of our lower league days and the JPT vs Norwich.

You do realise that if you keep rising to those sorts of comments you'll only encourage more of them...

What a load of🐎.

That pass for JPW, totally over played.... Gah!! I hope to see Tella or Djenpo on soon!!!!

90% of this is redmond...

Redmond must actually take a huge chunk off our expected goals stats every game he plays.

Again, dangerous attack wasted by redmond who should have given armstrong a good shooting chance. Has to be dropped.

What the fuck is the point in playing Redmond. I will cheer the day he leaves.

On the bench for the Young Boyz tonight in their win over United (how bad is that for Ronaldo and co 😅). It would appear that Young Boyz were aware of his last outing vs United as they sensibly chose to leave him on the bench for the full game. The result, this time it was united getting the red card and humiliatingly losing the game 👌🏼

At this point, he should not be keeping players like Tella, Adams, Livramento/KWP etc out of the team. Even Djenpo should be above him. There are times where Redmond can be very effective, but his standard is consistently that of a bottom 3rd player - and we have better on the bench,

Brighton are not getting relegated!! Not unless Potter is poached pronto. Saints aren't getting relegated. We've not been involved in and end of season/final game scrap with Ralph so far - and having us clear before the final game of the season that first season was a miracle tbh - i thought we were done under Hughes. Regardless, its certainly not going to happen this year.

Prior to the defensive performance vs west ham game, i would have said this was a case of letting the molestation begin... but now I am not so sure. I could see this going two ways, one being where go full yolo and get hit for 5 (regardless of however many we score), or we try to follow the mould of the 1-0 win, take our chances and keep it tight whilst strangling their midfield. They don't really have a striker so i would say we can get a point if we setup right. Think we should definitely be playing livramento and KWP on the same side for this one! Their pace plus perraud and salisu will give us the ability to carry a threat going forward and mitigate the risk on the counter.
