Saints 1-2 Arsenal - Thank F**k it’s All Over Thread

Peter Douglas · Sunday at 16:50

Smallbone is totally useless. Even the new Manager Still was caught laughing when he came on (probably coincidentall) Dreadful defending by him...

Mr X · Sunday at 16:50

May as well go for broke now with a hopeful long ball 😂

St. Ciervo · Sunday at 16:51

You might as well let me play instead of Will Smallbone. I can also be a pylon, and I will do it on the free.

notnowcato · Sunday at 16:52

30 seconds after Downes was busting his balls in the oppos box to make something happen Smallbone defends like jelly. Fuck off.

BotleySaint · Sunday at 16:52

To be fair, Smallbone was never Premier League quality. He did a decent job last year but should have been sold in the summer.

He could probably do a decent job again next year. But I suspect his confidence is totally destroyed and a move away is probably best.

Saint NL · Sunday at 16:52

I don't think there's a player that can unite the fanbase as much as Smallbone.

And a pylon helps carry energy to the rest of the team, which is the opposite of what our subs bring.

We can all agree he is world class and only a matter of time before he is poached

He's got some of the attributes of a really good player. He can pass and drift into space to give options. But only if the other side isn't in his face. As soon as the intensity goes up he's lost. For Martin's style of keepball he is pretty much perfect (hint hint Russ) but you can't play him in a holding midfield role.

Let me guess - a hugely questionable refereeing decision going in United's favour?

Two!

We should give Smallbone to martin at Leicester for free will impact us better

Let's, at least, give them the opportunity to pay for the privilege.

Has the ref's watch stopped?

He simply does not have the physique to be a professional footballer. If he could put on some muscle in the gym maybe but he seemingly does nothing to improve his strength.

Saint_clark · Sunday at 16:55

Referee playing past the 7 minutes, cruel bastard.

hypochondriac · Sunday at 16:56

Brilliant that Still can witness for himself how utterly shite Smallbone is. Big test for me to see if he bins him off early. Should be able to sell him easily to a midtable championship team.

Like us, he doesn't want the season to end. 🙂

Sunglasses Ron · Sunday at 16:56

For one final time this season…

Piss of you useless pricks!

I’m really going to miss football over the summer. 😅

Saint_clark · Sunday at 16:56

2-1 down in the 97th minute at the end of the season, just fucking get everyone up lads. Who cares if we lose 3-1?

Well what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. We should be strong AF by now.

Saint_clark · Sunday at 16:57

Christ one last chance with a freekick into the box and we give it straight to Raya.

Yep... One of many bizarre decisions this season...

Weren't there rumours he fell out big time with RM? I'm guessing on the basis he saw through all the bull shit but who knows with this season of craziness.

Yeah, it's not the same shouting it to random groups in the street during the close season. 🙂

Saint NL · Sunday at 16:57

And another great season draws to a close.

I'd like to say it's been fun, but....

Mr X · Sunday at 16:58

Meh at least we showed a bit of effort at times... Arsenal's class showed eventually unfortunately for us

Edited Sunday at 16:58 by Mr X

LeG · Sunday at 16:58

I’m so glad Smallbone has done that in front of Still. He’s a nice lad and a saints fan and I’ll always wish him well, but enough is enough. If you can’t learn from your mistakes or work on your weaknesses and improve them, then you’ve peaked.

Saint Fan CaM · Sunday at 16:59

That’s it you lucky people - all over. Thank you Smallbollox for being such an influential presence - for the other teams in the league.

Holmes_and_Watson · Sunday at 16:59

Normally, I'd be saying "See you all next season." But the chances are we'll be in the same therapy groups over the summer, working on our scar tissue. 🙂

Story of our season. Some ok bits followed by a spineless capitulation in front of our own goal.

obelisk · Sunday at 17:01

With being 1-2 down in the last minute I'd suggest lumping the ball up to the big man but nobody seems to know how to do it. It's been that way all season and there's another poor lump straight to the opposing 'keeper. Oh well. New season, new regime and let's hope for new tactics.

SouSaint · Sunday at 17:01

Thank fuck that's over, mental that there are people staying behind to applaud the worst team in our history.

sockeye · Sunday at 17:01

Whatever, it's done. Drawing a line under this season. Never want to think about it again.

All eyes on transfer activity for the next 2 months now.

Saint Fan CaM · Sunday at 17:02

Sunak taking selfies with Will’s better half. Sleazy AF?

Holmes_and_Watson · Sunday at 17:02

Choosing a system that lends itself the the players' stronger attribute gets us in a game, shocker.

Repeatedly bringing on substandard substitutes, just because, invariably costs us points, shocker.

Saint Fan CaM · Sunday at 17:05

SMS empties as the players saunter round. Kind of sums up the season really. 🤣

Invitation to Kutis and 15% off johnnies at the chemist will have been covertly slipped into the pocket.

coalman · Sunday at 17:06

Looking at today - we had the players to make a game of it in more matches than we did this season. Sure we'd probably still have been relegated but team selection and tactics have been as bad as I've ever seen across all three managers. We recruited so many players who never got a sniff who might actually have sweated for the shirt.

I wouldn't say no either. Always a good day when she's on Sky Sports.

Saint Fan CaM · Sunday at 17:06

Didn’t think finishing on 13 points would be a good omen for next season anyway.

Maggie May · Sunday at 17:06

If you’d have told me we’d be finishing the season three places below Spurs, I’d have bitten your hand off.

And the final curtain closes on 24/25.The only positive for me this season has been this forum. Who'd have thought 🤣 Thanks for the humour and the clinically diagnosable insanity. It's been... interesting. I'm off to bin my replica shirt. I'll feel better.
