doddisalegend Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 Nothing says top 4 team like a referee bottling a penalty decision in your favour. That's when I knew we had really made it! How many is that we've got away with Citeh, Chelsea and the toon come to mind. We are well on away to being a big club next up we need an outrageous amount of injury time, to score a winner, when drawing a game at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eelpie Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 I was staggered that after the heavy Christmas fixture list, major injuries and three big games in a week, the players were still chasing like a swarm of yellow bees right until the end! What a team! Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk This exactly. I couldn't believe how well the players kept their energy levels during this last match of three difficult away games. And it was a fast flowing game too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cf saint Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 Thought Reed was fantastic, took a few minutes but then great. If/when Morgan goes he is the replacement. I spent 30 years worrying if we had a 3-0 lead with 10 mins to go.... Now I just expect us to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two years ago this was a banker three points. They've shown us what happens when you have committed owner, good manager and youth policy that produces results. Us? Gone backwards. Big style.

SNSUN Posted 17 January, 2015 Author Share Posted 17 January, 2015 Next 2 games for them are Arsenal and Chelsea Hope City beat Arsenal. Keep that gap at 6 points. Oh oh oh, forgot to say I was glad to see Cork get more game time today. He's an important player for us to have back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbot79 Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 Love the comments of one Spurs fan on another site: "I hate Southampton. They play awful football (parking the bus against Newcastle lol), they're fans always have a chip on their shoulder and can't just appreciate that they are having a good season instead its all about proving people wrong, their manager is an absolutely classless ****. Oh well, this is their best season ever in the Premier League and one of our worst yet we are still only 5 points off them on the table, still in Europe, still in the COC. Rubbish club that would devalue the Champions League if they made it". That bloke will be so ****ed if we get there and spurs don't. What a load of drivel. We would be a gift to the champions league and to sportsmanship. The elitist snobs need to be put in their place and our boys are going to do it.

scotty Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 I think it would have been a harsh penalty decision. The ball was kicked at Fonte's arm at point blank range Even with saints tinted specs on, that's how I saw it. What was it, a couple of yards? And fonte seemed to be trying to get his arms behind him?? Would have been a very harsh pen imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we're not that team anymore. We have players coveted by others because they're top ****ing class. We have a manager that is likeable and has tactical nous, not to mention a seeming penchant for transfers. We have an owner who provides the funding while keeping her head down, thus continuing her fathers's legacy. In fact the whole set up of this club is bang on. We'll have one or two of the unavailable players from today back for the next game I should think. Let's get top 4 and rustle a few feathers.

SuperMikey Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 Just back from the game - great result! Very pleased with the 3 points considering all the players we're missing. Can't wait to see where we go from here, we're in such a good position now. A note about the atmosphere in the ground as well, it was incredibly edgy. Newcastle fans very quiet and got angry very quickly against the ref and our players (which seemed to spur Tadic on tbf!). Seems to be a lot of discontent with them at the moment. I'd like to see them succeed, good club with a big fanbase that deserve to be higher than they are. Dream scenario for them would be for Ashley to sell the club ASAP and for them to get a good manager in to steady the ship and build a good squad, because their team was packed full of sh!te today.

Goatboy Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 Brilliant result. Would have happily taken a point. I thought Reed was excellent. Will be a big part of our future. Ward Prowse had a really good game too. If only he had a yard of pace (though I said the same of Lallana). Pelle was much better today. Obviously benefitted from a rest in the week and did well at both ends. Cleared from corners/set pieces regularly and hit the woodwork again. Top game from Clyne. Looked every inch the England right back today. Eljero Elia. Instant legend! Take a bow! Tadic. Stop pointing where you think everyone else should be and have a bit of faith in them. Do your own job before you start whining at others and going down every 5 seconds. Stop whining at the ref and get on with helping your team mates! Other than that. Did ok. 3rd in the table. Still. It would be great if we can regroup and kick on again. Morgan, Vic, Mane and J-Rod to come back. Happy days! COYS!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austsaint Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 I thought we rode our luck at times today but given the context of three hard away games and so much travel this was an outstanding performance and result. We, looked better when Corky came on and held midfield with the excellent Harry Reed allowing Davis to move forward. Elia outstanding, back four solid and Pelle had his moments. Nice assist from JWP for the first goal but I still can't see a nailed on role/position for him in the team. He doesn't have the pace to play out wide; isn't really suited playing in the hole behind Pelle and doesn't have the defensive game to hold in midfield. By contrast, Reed has all the skills and tenacity to become a regular holding midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeSixty Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 Played well. Reed great again, keeping Cork out of the side on merit.

Lighthouse Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 That's not Gardos' fault IMO, he had to play that and it was a freak deflection.
