East Kent Saint

In the Kingsland on sunday , Kenzie was totally inaudiable , match announcer was sort of heard but you had to concentrate100% to even get the drift let alone hear individual words ! Who were those people whowalked round the pitch at half time ?

Ill making article in the Guardian about L'pool , Lallana interview with puke making comments about living next door to Klopp , how long before Klopp gives him the elbow ?

I remember John McGrath hacking down George Best and Best picking the ball up and handing it to big John "if you want it that badly here it is !" McGrath appeared totally bemused !

As Walker kicked Pedro in the shin as he lay on the ground in the first few minutes you wonder if spurs were told to provoke chelsea at every opportunity ! If Saints had produced even half of those tackles / off the ball incidents in a match we would have been down to 8 men before half time !

As with joining all clubs you may think you are part of it but the founders of the club will have been around since the ice age ! So don't expect an answer or a feeling of being one of the group etc for at least 10 years (approx) . Sometimes people have their say and are happy with that , others feel out of the clique and just stop posting and just read match updates and reaction or delete website from their favourites and get on with their lives ..... So don't worry if your comments are ignored / slated , this is normal .

Watching Townsend on MotD he looked good ie shooting (something we seem to lack) scoring and assisting ! worth a punt .

Watching MotD we looked not bad ! even Pele had good touches and Tadic laid on the goal for VVD not sure Fonte should have been given a straight red but I suppose that is the letter of the law re goal scoring chance. good to see Chelsea last in the running order also agree with awful defending / lack of effort by Villa and Newcastle , not just a case of getting behind the ball but also closing down , tackling and not playing them onside . I few times our defence got caught out as well yesterday possibly each player expecting the other to challenge before their goal.

Just pointing out that when he first played for us he was prone to brain fade which led to conceding goals , after the injury he has looked like a world beater until the Fabregas goal when he just stood there then put out a leg when it was too late . Overall he is a good keeper but needs to improve to become an England No1 keeper Even Shilton let in the odd goal for us !!!

Chelsea appear to be having a helping hand to achieve a CL place , after ignoring that foul at ours they have now scored a blatant offside "goal" at Norwich. Forster seems to have reverted to his old brain fade ways that he displayed when he first came here , people weren't too impressed then either !

When I saw him before he left he looked like a class player re ball control etc , like LaLa without the step overs !!

BTW Townsend looking OK at NUFC ,getting lots of shots in , something we were crying for earlier in the season !

What has happened to Schneiderlin ? didn't seem to be in the game at all in the first half , Smalling needs plenty of help I thought Morgan was the reason our defence looked good !

oops , that thread had dropped off the bottom of the page ! That's the problem with 16:9 ratio on a lap top ! 4:3 gives much more info on the screen . I suppose we are top of the stats as Pele was our usual centre forward , might slip back now !!

In todays Times Saints are top of the table for crossing with Tadic also at the top of the the crossers , all be it at 23% accuracy !

I think Matt LeTissier wanted the easy life and was quite happy to stay at the Saints , at one 'evening with' he spoke about being dropped by Hoddle and how he got the same money so what ? Steve Williams was also a reason to stay as the big fish .

Yes Long was unlucky , on another day his header down would have gone in and the other chance against goalie/defender was nearly there ! Meanwhile Norwich could have scored 4 but that is football.

Going by MotD Norwich could have had a hatful , Long was unlucky , Classie failed to stop their sub putting in the winning cross and Wanyama .... he showed against Arsenal how he can play but is he just not trying ? or unsettled still ? . It shows how well Morgan did in his last season with us ! Also Lambert looked really slow for WBA , don't think he could come back to Saints now , as others have suggested . He seemed happy when celebrating their goals though !!

Did the fans select the team today ????

Mahrez now linked to Manure in Jan , Leicester going the way of Saints ! Used to think the American Football draft system was strange but perhaps a fairer allocation of players would trim the rich clubs here .

Just buying players doesn't seem to be the answer as seen at ManU ! with no win in 6 games after massive investment . They seem to be playing a similar game to Saints with the accent on defending and not getting forward quickly enough to cause opposition much of a problem coupled with missing scoring chances . We need someone who can shoot up front Pelle has a good shot on him but seems to go for the near impossible flick / deflection etc when trying to score . Perhaps Ron has got fed up with lack of investment and has now hit a brick wall like Jose M. With Van G. now looking dodgy perhaps clubs/fans need to reset their expectations in future . In the mean time I would like to see Saints players and Ron start to play with a bit of joy , slagging your team off in public doesn't usually work . Hoping for a burst of form soon before we make the next trip down , even a surprise Jan signing . PS Wanyama's passing , well I remember him passing from his own half to put one of our men in on goal but it beat everyone and went for a goal kick !

But only one home win in the prem today , maybe 2 after NUFC , holiday season usually throws up some odd results as well . Even so we need a win to get going again....

Is Our owner still involved as before ? No mentions/pictures lately as per previous season ?

Interesting to see Stoke got their just deserts ie yellows and red cards yesterday and lost , I think we would of won as well with a decent Ref !!!!

Totally unintelligible from start to finish , saw the camera kissing but the rest ......

Tibet mentioned above , I thought the empire was clear of that one but it turns out we managed to kill 30 000 Tibetans when we invaded Tibet to 'protect' it from Russian influence back in the 1800s.
