25/26 - Non Saints Games

[Green]

We were 2-0 up against Chelsea under Mark Hughes in 2018 and managed to do what West Ham have just done and lose 3-2.

[SNSUN]

West Ham somehow turning victory into defeat. Interesting if they re-joined the Championship next season. 

[Lord Duckhunter]

Hearts against Dundee united on a muddy pitch, not much mincing around at the back. Dundee down to 9 and the manager sent off as well…

Very tinpot. Bit of a frost or some rain and they’re unable to play. Sure it’s got nothing to do with the injury crisis

They'll be complaining about an unfair fixture pile up soon.

According to the blue few I work with, it's because they are on an island and it floods easily. Nothing to do with having a piss poor drainage system.

Chelsea leaving 3 players up field for Arsenal corners, meaning they’ve had to empty the box of 4 players and not crowd the keeper as much. Something we should try…

Are they nearer sea level than St Marys then?

Got to laugh at Chelsea. First half of Arsenal v Chelsea was long, drab and dull.
They’re being skated for playing the least attacking game ever.
They spent the six minutes of second half stoppage time walking it to the edge of the Arsenal penalty area, and passing back to their centre backs.
Then Arsenal countered and scored a solitary goal.

If that is Rosenior’s normal tactics then my god, that was a hard watch and good luck to Chelsea. Who on here wanted him as manager? 👀

Passing it around almost as much as Russell Martin teams. 😂😂

Watched a bit of the Hull-Watford game: 0-0 and all very much thud and blunder but with the sort of physicality that we usually struggle against..

Agree - we'd probably conceded less and score more if we tried it. Keeper has space to catch the ball and can then launch it over the top to Fellows and Scienza.

With Bree and Stewart we have a bit more physicality about us. We've been bullied a lot less in the last 3 games.

That was annoying to watch. What makes it worse, as they were finding the wings and passing it back across, they had the arsenal box loaded. I get Chelsea have players to work the ball into the box, but they never really got a ball in the mixer.......

What was more annoying was the solitary fan voice you could hear on the commentary

Blackburn just scrape a win against Wednesday - WBA now in the drop zone and their forum is very worried. Also from having a read through, they seem to think Charlie Taylor's legs have gone.

Paceless defender? Disappointing he wasn't back with us, so we could have sold him to Leicester along with Aribo's loan. 🙂

Have to admit I’m very much enjoying their decline since his, and his teams fans, reactions to full time at St Mary’s, utterly tinpot

Sigh, lets give the big clubs 'another' rule change to help them compete...

Not only is his football drab but massive petrol club ‘give us what we want’ attitude.

City unsettled the player no doubt, helping break up Palace’s much loved cup winning team, knew the rules and now want to break them, along with the 100+ FFP alleged breaches.

Modern ECL-level football = get in the bin.
