Saints 3-0 Swansea - Match Thread

[Convict Colony]

Dunno about you guys but the indonesian footballer is so dreamy

[Guest]

Rasmus is probably watching Sulemana’s performance against a mid-table Championship side and has now upped his priced tag by £50m.

[StrangelyBrown]

This co-commentator is an absolute idiot. No idea what a foul is or isnt

[obelisk]

Free kick to Saints in blaze it over the bar territory.

[trousers]

F*** off Grimes... You pulled him to the ground you imbecile 

[Saint NL]

Grimes doesn't look great does he? I know we were linked but not sure what he's good at based on this.

[obelisk]

Poor free kick. Should get it closer than that.

[Chez]

Swansea are quite literally just a shitter version of us.  Put them under any pressure when trying to pass it out from the back and they lose it.

 

[SWLondon Saint]

The play by Swansea leading to that free kick for us just looked too familiar.... 😅

[Saint Fan CaM]

And Manning plumbs new depths of shitness with that free kick on goal.

[Saint NL]

When was the last game at St Mary's that the worst keeper on the pitch wasn't playing for Saints?

Any good free kick takers that might be available in the window, someone who isn't getting much first team opportunities at the moment maybe...?

Le Tissier, Beattie, Lambert, Ward-Prowse.. all great free kick takers for Saints over the years  , and then we get Ryan Fucking Manning 🤷

[Saint NL]

Another Dibling goal. Lovely

[trousers]

F*** me, Swansea's defence is shocking

[obelisk]

Dibbers shows his tenacity. 3-0.

Russel Martin would be proud of their nonsensical attempt at defending.

[Turkish]

Swansea are shite, but it’s two championship teams here, Sulemana has actually done something in a Saints shirt. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Another great goal by Dibling, although Swansea (aka Russball leftovers) made it easy for him.

[CylonKing]

I know it is only against Championship opponents but we look decent. Has the Juric effect clicked in?

[Lighthouse]

Oh good, Will Smallbone.

[Chez]

Get the ball wide, Swansea fail to clear and its 3-0. Nice one Saints. Smallbone is back.

United win the penalty shootout.  We'll get them in the next round.

[Saint NL]

Adam Armstrong has 25 mins to remind us that he's an actual footballer.

Smallbone back in the fold

Normal service will resume Thursday 

[Saint NL]

I'm enjoying the absolute car crash that is Swansea's keeper.

we would not likely score that goal under the previous manager this season

‘Tator says Bednarek has been ‘a colossus’ for us over the years. Good grief.

Immobile and prone to collapse into a Greek harbour in the summer? 🙂

Ref determined to give Swansea a chance.

Don't think you can read much in to this performance, other than that it could be a boost of confidence for some of the team. Swansea are fucking shit

[OttawaSaint]

Arsenal lost on pens to Man U. 😆

League title is ours to lose!

One of Russ's favourite players no less. Will be interesting to see if Juric develops the same infatuation over time...

They won’t care if they lose this 4 or 5-0 as long as they beat Cardiff next week.

These players won't struggle in the Championship next season like many think.

Yep we’ll be ok if we play Swansea every week.

[Saint NL]

Weird decision by the ref. Wasn't a dive at all

[obelisk]

Saints defence continues to amaze with its ineptness. Lucky to get away with that.

[Baird of the land]

Handy there is no var

[tdmickey3]

Smallbone😴

Russell will be at his happiest

Or five year contract extension and double wages.

Armstrong "got 24 in all competitions in the Championship last year".

Decent first touch and very good passer of the ball. Can't tackle for toffee.  I wonder what Juric likes from his central midfielders.

We still look sleepy at the back at times, Swansea just not good enough to take advantage...next PL game however...

[Gingeletiss]

Saints v Burnley 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Burnley in next round

[Disco Stu]

Poor from Archer. Closed his angle.

Wembley here we come!

Burnley home, that might be more of a test.
