CB Fry Posted 10 April, 2018 Share Posted 10 April, 2018 Adkins doing a grand job at Hull it seems. And typical always wanting Fulham to win as a good away and now we will miss them gong the other way.Beat me to it. Last two matches 4-0 and 5-0 victories. Clearly showing Marco Silva how to get Hull actually out of a relegation predicament. Go on my son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKD Posted 11 April, 2018 Share Posted 11 April, 2018 I can't be the only one who will be extremely bitter and gutted if the victims win the CL?? The worst thing about it all is that they wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for bending us over every single summer since NC left. Lets hope they get Roma and get a good hiding (on and off the pitch). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 11 April, 2018 Share Posted 11 April, 2018 Why should we be bitter ? We sold them players with more ambition than SFC for a lot of money (which we have since wasted on dross). In fact the ECL success of Liverpool so far and our current dilema just bears out the players desire to leave us for a bigger club. The only thing to be bitter about just now is the mismanagement of SFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway City were unwilling to pay the asking price so that's kind of their problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 11 April, 2018 Share Posted 11 April, 2018 Liverpool won't beat Bayern or Real Madrid over two legs. They are in decent form at the moment, but look at them in the league they are not some super club, they are top 4-6 club who have a player who is having a once in a lifetime season. They still have issues all over the pitch, and neither Madrid, Bayern or Roma will press high against them like City did. Klopp is just good at countering Pep, always has been but Real especially are just a class above them. Ronaldo will score like 4 if he's matched up against Lovren and is facing karius. Next year they'll be battling for top 4 as usual and likely either Salah will have gone onto PSG or Real or he'll just not be as effective.

This year's results in the ECL have shown that anything is possible. I mean who expected Roma to pull back 3 goals against Barcelona. These knockout rounds are one off occasions that start at 50-50. Liverpool were impressive over the 2 legs against City and you just can't write them off. With their front trio they can score at any time against anyone.

Can totally understand why Pep is miffed, but perhaps Liverpool's name is on the cup. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5string Posted 13 April, 2018 Share Posted 13 April, 2018 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.

ally_uk Posted 14 April, 2018 Share Posted 14 April, 2018 Saints are a "small club" you can't really blame players for wanting to jump ship and play for clubs that might actually achieve something.... Saints have no ambition. Stupid decision and selling the best assets and not replacing them has come back and royally bitten us in the arse. We will do a Sunderland next season. What about our new owner? He doesn't give a damm either... Fair play to Liverpool they are a quality team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not suited for this league at all really. Another example that we tried to build a Barcelona-lite team with small/tricky/passing players. We'd probably do alright in La Liga.

Another example that we tried to build a Barcelona-lite team with small/tricky/passing players. We'd probably do alright in La Liga. It was obvious he was bought in to be used in the Europa League for the 2015-16 season *****il Koeman truly messed that up vs Midjtylland). He certainly would have been utilised more if we kept him on last year with Puel. but yes, hope he does well. I look at most other PL teams and you see strong CB's good in both the air and in their defensive duties, and everyone else seems to have that explosive winger with an ability to beat a man. We have JWP and Tadic as our wingers. They will never beat a defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordic Saint Posted 24 April, 2018 Share Posted 24 April, 2018 Contrast Salah’s second goal with Long’s effort on Sunday Mo Salah is a wonderful player. Pompey fans, for example, have never seen him play live and probably never will do. Seeing great players and even occasionally a few of them like Mane playing for us is one of the things I'm going to miss about the Premier League. . I know it's unfashionable to be a football fan, as opposed to a hater of all footballers, but I am. If I just wanted to drink with my mates, buy cheap tickets, always have 3 O' clock Saturday kick-offs and support a local team, I'd go to watch Sholing instead. But, as a football fan, I enjoy good quality football and when Saints win games at the highest level it's even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 24 April, 2018 Share Posted 24 April, 2018 Contrast Salah’s second goal with Long’s effort on Sunday Completely different situations to be fair. Long was in the penalty box at full sprint when he took his first touch. Call it bitter if you like, this is tough to watch and kind of emphasises to me that I am done with top level English football. So unbalanced in favour of the top teams. These fans -who have been quiet and absent during their "dark times" - will never know what it's like to actually suffer following your team.
