hypochondriac Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) Sounds like a proper spicy Derby atmosphere. Shame they will be a big fuss about it. If saints played pompey at St Marys and you had some pompey fans celebrating if pompey scored, I'd expect them to be carried out on a stretcher.

Bad Wolf Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 6 hours ago, BARCELONASAINT said: Ok Bad Wolf and Whitey I have a question for you as i am really struggling to understand your logic here. I'm guessing both of you at some point have played competitive football at some level. Are you telling me that neither of you have walked of the pitch at full time and shook your heads in amazement that you have just lost a game you completely dominated and outplayed the opposition yet nothing went for you in front of goal and the opposition have scored from the only chance they had. Then the opposition players say to you as they are trudging off '' we don't know how we won that you were by far the better team" OR The complete opposite where you have played in a game and been battered and outplayed but have won the game and come off admitting "the opposition were the better team" and "we got away with one today lads" Are you seriously telling me that every game Saints have won we were the BETTER team because with more than 50 years of watching Saints i can tell you we have won games where we were definitely NOT the better team and to believe anything different is just being arrogant! Admittedly, as advised sometimes, if it's something like refereeing decisions then yes, I'll concede. But yes, other than that, the better team wins. If Team A has 20 chances, 99% possession and 30 corners and Team B has 1% possession, 1 chances and score it - They're the better team. Because they've been clinical. I just can't wrap my head around how a team can be seen as deserving more because they piss away a bunch of chances. I have actually played competitive football, as I think most of us have but not at the same level as you. You may not realise this but I've played against/with you many times and it's been an absolute education each time, albeit many years ago but I just can't agree with you on this. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However we then wouldn’t have seen THB come here as he would have expected to be 4th choice CB. If we get promoted we have an obligation to buy him. The lad is quality, we should be building the team around him and doing all we can to keep him. Personally I think three of our starting back four will do fine in the PL should we make it. Could Jose do a job in the PL next year? - might have been a stretch, and there would be no prospect of selling him for big money. Still would have liked to see him back in the shirt though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly had a remarkable late career. He won 50 caps for Portugal, a European Championship, a Nations League and a French League and made more than 20 Champions League appearances, all over the age of 30, and now he's won the Portuguese League Cup.

S-Clarke Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Didn't realise there were games tonight, but given that we've pulled them back in to our sight, the Leicester v Swansea fixture is something to keep an eye on.

They're giving Swansea a bit of a sniff here I think, but I don't think Swansea have anywhere near the level of quality required to do anything of note.

They are very good at pressing which should be enough to rattle most teams in this league, they counter attack well with pace and they have a very solid defence. Beyond that I'd describe them as solid and organised which is probably how they've managed to stay so consistent all season so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so surprised by Luton, their home form has been improving and if Brighton were slightly off it - and they are more than that tonight - they could get battered up there. Throw in a few more points on the road and with Everton deduction, Forest possible deduction and a couple of other just above the drain, they could stay up. Which would be remarkable on their budget. I thought they might a Blackpool - tight ground, good at home where they shock a couple of the top 6, leaky away and just fall short, but they have a bit more about them as the season goes on.

Saint86 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) https://www.foxestalk.co.uk/topic/133863-who-can-catch-us/ Despite actively disliking Leicester as a club over the whole Vardy VVD Injury, the 9-0, the Wes Morgan foul goal that possibly cost us CL... I think their fans are actually alright. Been trying to see what's going on with KDH's potential transfer, but this thread highlights just how good they've been this year and what an achievement it will be to catch them (if they don't implode). I think we'll catch them for the record. (EDIT: or catch them enough that the pressure will tell and it will be a tight run in). Also, "is it possible to lap Rotherham" did make me laugh 🤣 Edited January 31 by Saint86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd probably end up as the best Championship team ever if we finish above them. I think we will hit an inventible dip, I don't know if it's just the saints fan in me or not, but just rules of averages suggest you cannot churn out win after win after win endlessly - there will be dips. We just have to hope those dips happen at times when the likes of Ipswich and Leeds also have a little wobble. As Leicester have been so fricking consistent, we simply have zero margin for error for the remainder of the season. That's a bloody tall order. I'm just focusing on Leeds and Ipswich if I'm honest.

S-Clarke Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Leicester fans managing to piss their manager off - ------------------------------ Enzo Maresca’s frustrations over the fan response to his style of play boiled over last night as he threatened to leave Leicester City if doubts over his philosophy intensify. Since his arrival at City, Maresca has routinely appealed to supporters to get behind his team and create an atmosphere to help them earn big results, and he did so again before the clash with Swansea. But he suggested afterwards that some fans are taking for granted what his side are achieving. “Probably the people, they think it’s easy to win games, but it’s not easy,” Maresca said in his post-match press conference. “I just want to remind that we have played 34 official games and we have won 26. That is a huge number and probably the people they think it’s easy to win games. But it’s not like this. “You can feel the fans when they’re not happy. Probably some people they take some things for granted. But it’s not like this. Twenty-six wins out of 34. It’s something unbelievable. Probably when you win, win, win at home, and you continue to win, people think it’s easy. But it’s not easy. “I arrive in this club to play with this idea. The moment there is some doubt about the idea, the day after, I will leave. It’s so clear. No doubts. “We have won 26 of 34, a huge number. If people think it’s easy and take it for granted, it’s not like this. Huge respect for the players and the effort they are doing. Hopefully we can reach and give our fans the right joy at the end of the season.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
