SaintTex

Technology took pity on me.. "Video unavailable. The uploader has not made this video available in your country"

i totally forgot we were still in this. i just assumed we crashed out long ago.

Saintsweb is a lifeline for all things Saints for those of us in the United States. So glad it is back up and running. I felt like i had lost the pulse of club and supporters while down. wait.. do we have a pulse?

pretty well summed up, but more like 8 years 2017-18 17th 2018-19 16th 2019-20 11th (9 weeks in the relegation zone) 2020-21 15th 2021-22 15th 2022-23 20th 2023-24 Championship 2024-25 20th Pelle, Tadic, Mane, VVD days feel like 30 years ago, not 10.

I wonder if Ivan has had a sit down with Stewart yet? or maybe he can't be found. ..

i choose to be optimistic...or why else watch the rest of the season? just 8 points from 17th with 21 matches to go... why not dream a little? with a little luck tomorrow and friday, it could be 5 points from 17th with 20 matches to go

so SR sacks Jones after 3 points in 8 matches, but sits on their thumb while Martin goes 5 points in 15 matches? are they even wanting to stay up this go around?

fun fact.. Ross Stewart had 51 starts in all competitions in the 2021-22 season Since then? 12 starts (1 of those being with the Saints)

line up predictions anyone? Lumley Sugawara, Walker-Peters, Harwood-Bellis... aw, whatever.. screw it.

oops

another match, no points. 1 point from 27.

predicable. and i am not even upset about it....and that is a problem.

the longer we wait, the harder it will be to attract a quality manager. Who in their right might would want the task of keeping a team up with half the season gone and 12 to 15 points off 17th place.

if Russell continues to have us play this style of football, we are going to have to take the good with the bad with Ramsdale. great ball stopper, but not great with his feet. We would have lost without Ramsdale today.. but he is going to give away a lot of balls in our final third this season if Russball continues.

Bednarek's contract is structured to pay him by the number of touches.

2 1/2 matches into the season. anyone noticing a trend?

Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln? (American expression)

pretty, pretty, pretty good...If our next 36 results are 0-0. We will finish with 36 points and -2GD. Fighting chance to stay up with that. COYS!

Brighton have signed 5 impact players that for whatever reason are simply not within our reach (€30m to €45m each) Our 5 impact player signings are in the €8mil to €23m range. It's a huge gulf. (FFS, it's Brighton and it's a huge gulf - shaking my head) We knew we would be behind the 8 ball this season. It's going to take coaching, strategy, luck, and spirit (and not talent) to stay up this season and it remains to be seen if we will have any of it.

Rock and Roll Scotsman.. oh boy https://sportwitness.co.uk/rock-and-roll-scotsman-delight-with-arrival-from-southampton-after-unforgettable-full-debut-fans-on-their-feet/

other than Steklenburg being a Dutch GK, this is not giving me Steklenburg vibes at all. and Victor Hugo?! Good god, that guy cant play with his left foot.
