Depressed of Shirley Posted 11 January, 2015 Share Posted 11 January, 2015 For all of us who have been schleping up and down the country for the last 30+ years following Saints, can I just say that this team, management, board and owner are all we ever dreamed of. Thank you to all of you, you are making some old cynics very, very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 11 January, 2015 Share Posted 11 January, 2015 Well, now seems a good time to make my first ever post, so greetings madhouse! What a result!!! So many times I've seen us play up there and get nothing, ofter deservedly, but today we deserved to win and did - despite the crowd and the ref. Did Pelle get a single decision today?! Great result, great team, boys became men etc… but seriously its the first time in this old boys time that I'm scarily beginning to believe! Welcome to the forum Max. Happy days!

trousers Posted 11 January, 2015 Share Posted 11 January, 2015 Sky coverage really is disgraceful. They are all so desperate for little Southampton not to gatecrash the party and upset the elite. Far too much of a Liverpool and United influence. All summed up by Carragher mentioning that Mane has been great all season, all correct apart from the 6 or 7 games when he was awful. Even when they try to praise us they are clueless. Anyways, what a game, massive praise for Gardos though, looks so assured and dealt with everything thrown at him today. Sky post-match chat was very positive about Saints. Nice try. 7.1/10 for effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc oli Posted 11 January, 2015 Share Posted 11 January, 2015 Absolutely immense. Discipline that I've never seen in a Saints team before. None of the crazy harassing and pressing of the MP performance, but equally as hard working, gut busting determination. Add a bit more quality and conviction in the final third and we really really can start dreaming of being in the top 4 come May. I just wish the fans would get behind us more early on in the game though- it took us scoring to spark us in to life; yes we weren't flying forward, attacking and creating chances, but the players need to hear us through the whole 90 mins. But nothing will dampen what has been one of the greatest days of my following of Saints. All those 5s and 6s I've seen us spanked by United are forgotten and I'm absolutely buzzing.

Coxford_lou Posted 11 January, 2015 Share Posted 11 January, 2015 Calmed down now, it did race though when they put up an extra 5 minutes to play, did I miss something, I know Fergie was watching so I suppose they felt obliged to add Fergie time. Just watched the Tadic interview and I love how relaxed the players are - no hype or over excitement. Just an emphasis on focussing on the next game. This is a winning mentality. Which is the complete opposite to my state of mind at the moment!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 11 January, 2015 Share Posted 11 January, 2015 Oh, and Blackett is a woeful footballer who will never be good enough for Utd. That he was being talked up to make his England debut after 5 games of the season shows how ridiculous the big clubs are favoured when picking the national team.

Saintandy666 Posted 11 January, 2015 Share Posted 11 January, 2015 http://www.sportsclubstats.com/England/Southampton.html According to this (not yet updated - but can infer nonetheless) - we are mathematically safe from relegation on 39 points. Bizarrely there is a chance of us being relegated on 41 points, but it is very miniscule. So Dalek - we are safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrich van Gobbel Posted 11 January, 2015 Share Posted 11 January, 2015 I thought Saints couldn't perform against any of the 'Top 4' teams? 7 points out of the last 9 against 'Top 4' teams tells a different story.

I for one was cacking it at the start of the season - conventional wisdom did suggest we would struggle given the volume of changes - and I did not get any confidence from the way Ralph struggled to communicate that all would be OK... we have had a bit of luck, but hats off to all at the club from top to bottom... its so great being wrong ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washsaint Posted 11 January, 2015 Share Posted 11 January, 2015 Immense stuff. This team is not like Saints of previous years: Koeman has instilled belief and steel into the side. 15 goals conceded all season: incredible stuff. This team just needs to keep it going until the end of season with no more major blips and there is every chance we could finish top 4. Incredible stuff and Koeman is an inspiring manager. This club really is well run from top to bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
