JRM Posted 31 January, 2021 Share Posted 31 January, 2021 38 minutes ago, Appy said: Get a grip, we’re 11th in the premier league. I think I get what he means though, I've probably never felt more negative in the way modern football is going, or at least Premier league football. Before this lockdown I'd got into going to some non league football, pay on the day, no taking a knee political lecture, few hundred in the crowd watch two teams playing a proper match. Premier league football now just seems to be players protecting the ball and dropping to their knees at the slightest contact. Behind closed doors isn't helping, but I feel detached from it all. Watching Saints with my young kids it saddens me they've been conditioned to ask if the goal is allowed before celebrating, it's normal to them , no spontaneous celebration. I miss the away days out on the train sipping a few beers but can't say I'll be rushing back to games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washsaint Posted 31 January, 2021 Share Posted 31 January, 2021 32 minutes ago, Shroppie said: DON'T PANIC! Gives a chance to Alexandre Jankewitz - see if he is good as he was once touted to be and whether he can make a stake to a 1st team place. Although recent weeks have been a huge disappointment we have a ton of injuries and need to develop a Plan B. The flipside is that we have beaten Liverpool and Arsenal and are no pushovers despite injuries. Also gives some of the younger players a chance to see if they may have what it takes longer term. And we are still in the Cup (for now!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that Manure will be awarded at least two pens and we will have at least one Red. The Owners of SFC are not prepared to spend any money and we, the supporters, have to sit back and accept the fact that we cannot compete with any other Club in the Prem for obtaining any new players. I have supported Saints for over sixty years and this has to be probably the lowest I have been. The lads will not just roll over and give up, but how much longer can Ralph be with us knowing his hands are tied? Agreed, this is far, far worse than administration and the years running up to it.

Bad couple of weeks that is all. In my 126 years supporting saints including in my previous life supporting St Mary’s I can only think of one time when I was lower. Typical me to come back as a saints fan again not once but twice, I wish I supported Everton FFS. Edited 31 January, 2021 by Turkish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disconnect Posted 1 February, 2021 Share Posted 1 February, 2021 Although question marks about whether Valery might still be here tomorrow, guess we will see something like this tomorrow?

Good question, not sure how far in advance they know. Think Ralph was too cool/classy for his own good. I'm sure he was furious, but Premier League probably think 'ah well, it's only Southampton and they haven't caused a stink so let's crack on.' Wish we had a bit more sh*thousery about us at times, we've got better but still not enough. I would advocate asking Dean if he's actually going to watch the game this time, but knowing what that twat is like he'll end up going even more the other way.

Don't know what it's like in Salford, and obviously we don't have to consider fan safety travelling to and from the ground, but if the team and/or officials can't get there due to travel disruption then it might well be postponed.

Not that happy about changing shape but may be no alternative to playing the best players we can muster in the positions that work best. As for the bench, bit worried about the late KO. It'll be past their bedtime by half time. May even need a supply of nappies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
