Saints 1-1 Palace - Match Thread

[Lighthouse]

Let's get another one out of the way then.

[Sarnia Cherie]

Mateta will be through our defence like a knife through butter. As usual, I shall hope for the best. expect the worst and hope this break has Juric coming up with an inspiring line-up. 

[Football Special]

We've had a nice long rest. 

Palace play away at Fulham today in a tough cup 1/4 final 

We were unlucky to lose 2-1 away at Palace

Any chance we could get a point?

Jack Stephens will know how to handle him, Millwall style

Not sure we were unlucky to lose. Started the game well but they were better than us for 65 odd minutes of the game. I think this will be a comfortable win for them. 2-0 loss.

We were very fortunate the SP game wasn’t about 5-1. I think they had something like 20 shots and 10 on target.

Watching the first half of this Fulham Palace game I'm going to revise my prediction to a 4-0 loss...

Thinking about running a sweepstake with my mates on how many full backs Juric picks this time 😉

[Challenger]

Palace, like the majority of sides in this league would easily beat our team of no hopers even if they all took the field with their bollocks in a rat trap.

[die Mannyschaft]

Fulham bit useless v Palace with side passing and too scared to take players on and they are 8th. Unless Saints get a load of decent crosses in, dribble passed Palace defender/midfield it's unlikely for a draw. Let's hope Jurasic puts all defenders upfront and strikers at back as at least it would be something different. Got my West Ham away ticket as that's the game we will pick 3 points. 

[East Kent Saint]

A strange first half , it looked like there were too many players on the pitch and no place to play the ball . Good goals though , I don't fancy our chances although that's normal this season.

[Willo of Whiteley]

Two and a half weeks to get a proper formation and a proper starting eleven pencilled in.

Liklihood of no striker, maybe Dibling and Fernandes not in the squad, Sugawara starting and Bree at CB, rather high I would say.

Mateta will carve through like a knife through butter.

I can see Eze running the show and Essé (?) becoming the Olise replacement in this game.

3-0 defeat. The fact the club are still trying to flog adult tickets for £25-30 is hilarious.

[Saint Fan CaM]

We will lose - reckon 3-0. No respite.

[Galway saint]

Obviously we will lose but I'm going for Saints having 4 shots with 2 on target and 3 corners.. Lets go Saints !!

Did they say Palace haven't lost away for 5 months?! 

I say its About time that run comes to an end!

They play at the Etihad on April 12th.

[LGTL]

Palace in excellent form, whereas I expect our bunch of idiots have been sat on a beach for 3 weeks.

0-3.

Tbf don't they have a really good record up there? 

[TheAlehouseBrawlers]

After the Lord Mayor’s Show, their heads now focused on the semis…heart says 0-0.

Head says 0-3.

Don't know what SP means but I just remember walking away from there thinking about how far we'd sunk. In my eyes, Palace have always been the yo-yo club and they were miles better. From memory, the main difference was speed, but hey ho, that's a recurring problem.

I can't go to this one.

Of course, we will win.

When Selhurst Park became Dellhurst Park. Fantastic day out.

[Andrew Watson]

0 - 3, they played well in the cup today.  Eze and Sarr will tear us to bits.

[Appy]

They haven’t conceded away from home since December or lost away since October, bodes well.

Palace will likely be buzzing after dispatching Fulham 3-0 at Craven Cottage. They looked pretty comfortable.

Saints to win 1 - 0  OR lose 5 - 0

Imagine being in a relegation fight, then suddenly deciding you were 2004 Arsenal away from home.

The only chance of Saints keeping a clean sheet is Ramsdale wiping his cock on the curtains.

[Pamplemousse]

The players don't care and the manager is an idiot. We have no chance.

[OneMrsWallace]

Wash, rinse, repeat. They create 10 gilt edged chances but only take 5. We do almost nothing of consequence except for a late strike when there's only three minutes left and Palace are half asleep. Long way of saying 5-1 to them.

Yep, sat back soaked up what Fulham had and broke at pace. Easy innit.

[Mr X]

It's totally embarrassing even the teams in 19th and 18th have opened up an eight point gap yes Leicester and Ipswich are that much better!

I maintain that we probably won't get another point this season unless something drastically changes and why would it? three points are needed not to be oficially worst premier league team ever! 

[woodsaint1]

Be good if fans stayed away. This team doesnt deserve any support and there is definitely no 'entertainment' being served up

If we can maintain that gap, we'll have improved on last season when Leicester were 10 points, and Ipswich 9 points better! 🙂

Now, could you stand on the end of that straw to make it easier for me to clutch it, please? 😑

Right now they deserve our support more than ever. It's tough enough being sent out against teams overwhelmingly better than you every week, without your own fans turning on you. It's the decision makers who left us rudderless in the summer transfer window who deserve our ire.

Who said anything about the fans turning on them. I suggested that the fans dont go. We're more likely to turn on them watching the shite that they and Juric will serve up.

Continuing to turn up in our droves and happy clapping is an interesting method of displaying our anger to those decision makers.

And as if the players give a fuck....just like the 22/23 season about 90% of them will be queuing up with their agents come May time to get off the sinking ship as quick as they can - not that many of them will be missed

That’s an interesting point. How many of these players will feature in a Prem team after being an integral part of the worst side in Prem history? I mean, it’s pretty bleak isn’t it? Effort without skill will not be enough to get them a Prem contract if the buying club does it’s proper due diligence and is not desperate.

KWP and Rambo…the only two players who have shown their true Prem credentials. Maybe Fernandes and Dibling might get their moves but they’ll likely be bench warmers or “ones for the future”. I’ll be flabbergasted if any of the others return to the Prem.

Oh the score? Not sure I care - it’s very likely to be a drubbing, so let’s be optimistic and say 0-2.

Extra time…

[Zorba]

1-3.

Palace will rest a few and we’ll go in 1-0 up at half time. We’ll plan on defending our undeserved lead for 45 minutes but Palace will bring on the first team and we’ll get dicked!

[coalman]

Two and a half weeks without the anxiety of watching Saints play themselves off the park was quite nice.

Not another game, and so soon, do we have to?

And as soon as they score, they will get the 2nd within 5 mins.

The good news is, I suspect that record will be broken again soon, what with the gulf between the leagues being so big. One day a team will come up via the play offs as we did who finished lower than us and will be beaten literally every single game.

I see my cock womble stalker asswipe is still alive. What a boring ass life you must have.
