[benjii]

How is that not a yellow?

[Saint NL]

The coaching staff have more bottle than the players

Do you know of any league in the world that does not use refs from their own nation?

Pardon, are you here for the 5 minute argument, or is this the full half hour?

 

[Saint NL]

That would have been incredible from THB

[OttawaSaint]

Ugghh close!

[OttawaSaint]

Our corners are certainly better.

How the hell can var not even look at that Joelinton foul, it's so one sided it's not even a joke.

It would ruin part of someone’s accumulator bet at Stockley Park though probably relating to total sendings off in the first half.

This isn't an argument, you want 12 next door.

[obelisk]

Saints corners starting to look dangerous at last.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Just too fuckin easy

[OttawaSaint]

Cocks!

[BotleySaint]

Walking through completely unchallenged. Newcastle not even braking a sweat. 

[Saint NL]

He had so much time and space he couldn't miss

[Viking Saint]

Game over

[OttawaSaint]

Come on VAR, have at it. Draw some wonky lines, find a handball...

[AlexLaw76]

See, another non-existent midfield display

[ButtikonSaint]

bullocks... innit..

[Sunglasses Ron]

We are utter trash.

Would it matter?

[SNSUN]

Half wishing we'd take the 6 points and just end the season now. Getting more embarrassing every game.

[obelisk]

Oh well. Saints press carved open. 1-3.

[OttawaSaint]

No.

[Saint NL]

None of our defenders in the same postcode FFS.

 

[BotleySaint]

How can the defence be so incompetent to allow a guy to run through like that? Will Juric never learn the current formation isn't working? 

[adrian lord]

Back to bed to recover from this virus.

[AlexLaw76]

This formation is fucking garbage

[Mr X]

One ball and Cut open with ease 

[Sheaf Saint]

Like a hot knife through butter.

Fucking pathetic.

[benjii]

Les asleep again.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Totally switched off, but that’s the difference - slow walking football versus dynamic fast flowing passing. Our systems and coaching is as poor as the players ability to compete in this league.

[Saint Matty 76]

The midfield is absolutely shit

Don't have the players to change that

Holding onto a dream where we get 1 win and 3 draws but this team probably about deserves to go down in history

[Saint NL]

Newcastle just realised they can pad their goal difference and look up for it 

[washsaint]

Big Les is a fraud of a footballer.  Plays like he is in a constant daze.

I hate this team - bottlers, no quality and a terrible, terrible manager who has no place managing our club.  I have no idea what tactics he is employing and every team cuts through us with ease.  6 games, 6 defeats - another genius appointment
 

[Mr X]

This group of players just have the worst mentality ever..... I honestly think we need a total reset clean slate all new players top to bottom 

[BotleySaint]

Surely any collection of roughly assembled defenders besides this lot, would do better. Is there no self respect at all? 

[Saint NL]

Ref making up for the var decision earlier 😂

The foul had already been given against us for the foul on Joelinton

[obelisk]

Any opponent can guarantee that Saints will donate the ball to them. All they have to do is wait.

[CB Fry]

how many league games this season have we not conceded at least three?

[Viking Saint]

Another penalty incoming

It's the people that appoint these managers that are the problem they just can't get it right 

[OttawaSaint]

Come on refs, get him to the screen! Ah 3-1... don't have to cheat now eh?

[Saint NL]

AHH the classic unmarked guy at the edge of the box from a corner, not seen that one in a few weeks

Edited 25 January, 2025 by Saint NL

[BotleySaint]

Totally unmarked on the edge of the box. Nobody tracking the runners. Nobody closing down. The players have lost it completely. Not even trying anymore. 

[AlexLaw76]

And now we start fannying around our 18 yard box 

lol

[jamesfp1]

Can't they just relegate us now so we don't have to watch it

Just out of interest, who do you think would have been interested in managing us after Martin?

[obelisk]

That fanny around ghost of Martin still hangs across the team. Need an exorcist for sure.

[AlexLaw76]

We have wide open spaces in defence as we are totally lost in the middle of the park. The defenders are now all over the show

[BotleySaint]

Need to give up on the Uguchukwu experiment.
