25/26 - Non Saints Games

[East Kent Saint]

I watched the Spurs match on Discovery + , to be fair the surface was slippery and both teams had players slipping over . I had to feel sorry for Kinsky being thrown into his first European tie .

Hey Paul Merson, this PL that is worlds apart from any other league has played 6 CL games this week. 4 defeats and 2 draws, and 3 of them have lost by 3 goals. Love it

[Dark Munster]

Bodø is my favourite team in the CL, they are doing brilliantly. Glimt is my second favourite team, also doing equally brilliantly.

It seems like only the day before the ties, UEFA were having one of their regular pot shots at the PL.

Watching the Euro Motd I was impressed by the MLT skills shown by the PSG and Real Madrid scorers , little touch to get the ball behind the Man C keeper and knocking it into the net , little touch to knock the ball up before lobbing the keeper in the PSG goal with no distance to work with . This is what top level European football is all about . Arsenal reverting to the 1-0 to the Arsenal days ! The norwegian team exposing teams from Man City onwards even in there off season is excellent .

I don't mean Arsenal won more the defensive set up to get a 1-0 ! Although htey did have the chances to win .

Need to win tomorrow considering Wrexham beat Swansea and are 6 points ahead again.

WBA have my full support today.

Hull one of the poorest top six teams I've seen in a long time. Shocking to think we gave them six points this season

Unfortunately hull have got Sheff wed at home next game, so that’s another 3 points further away from them. Dont think we can catch them, it’s only Wrexham now really

We can definitely still catch them. The more teams that get pegged back the better.

We could yes, but it’s very unlikely. I agree they’re not a good side though but somehow grind out results

Leicester are getting worse and worse.

[Saint NL]

Millwall winning and up to second place....

[SaintBobby]

Leicester continue to implode....3-1 down at home to QPR having taken the lead.

Good, good. Still tight at the bottom through and they have Aribo to help them.

[SW5 SAINT]

Millwall now losing…..

[Britannia]

How long has it been the case that there are only 1 or 2 3PM PL fixtures on Saturday?

Just two today with a further three this evening and four tomorrow.  All of the latter on TV of course.

The Skates getting dragged into the relegation scrap big time

They play Derby. Tricky one, wouldn't mind them both losing. A draw will do.

Fatawu looked good in one game against us, while Mavadidi looked like he should easily be one of the best in this league. 

Toxic place.

Shame Oxford couldn’t hold out today, skates would have been right in it.

Leicester are in serious trouble, thought their win midweek might be th start of something but getting soundly beaten at home to QPR is not a good look. Their fans on foxes talk are pretty funny tbf, some great gallows humour. Have no ill feeling towards them, could easily be us in that situation given the recent mismanagement of our club.

Disagree. We are 6 points off them now with a game in hand. Definitely catchable with this many games left! That result at West Brom today puts our point their in perspective, not such a bad result after all?!

Great moment for the lad

I heard it on the radio.

But that didn't do justice for the awareness, controlled header and then calmly beating the last man, all in a couple of seconds right after the Everton attack.

It seemed as though he's not only got a good relationship with the other players, but a lot of the staff too. A lovely moment for him and his family.

[saintstowin]

Yeah that was a good football moment. Maybe we'll get him in on loan when he's out of favour in 2044.

I had a wheezing Jay Robinson return pencilled in for that season. 🙂

He reminds me of when Jack Wilshere first burst on the scene for Arsenal, he looked like he’d be a really special player.

Fair point, he's one of our own so takes priority and will get the crowd excited until we realise his legs have gone.

See PNE lost again today, they have fallen right off a cliff that lot.

West Ham holding City with 5 mins to go. Spurs going down would be epic

Is this what qualifies for analysis nowadays, peak fucking Nod. What with Clinton fucking Morrison & the dopey birds, a dedicated sports broadcaster, dumbing down sports broadcasting.

If you haven’t tuned in to Forest v Fulham, then don’t.

The first half was so bad that my retinas are now permanently scarred.

[saintstowin]

Ref having a bit of a mare Palace v Leeds. 

Definitely thought he was giving a first yellow to the player already on one. Then had to send him off.

And earlier. I think it was the correct decision not to book the player already on a yellow. But he might have sent him off if he hadn't already booked him.

It's always pissed me off that referees often take into account whether a player has already had a booking before giving them another yellow card. It shouldn't matter whether they have or not. A foul worthy of a yellow card is just that, regardless of what's happened before.

Goal difference now the only thing keeping Spurs out of the relegation zone

Yeah he’s unbearable, he was compared to Martin a lot when he was at hull for having the same ideologies and a similar Philosophy. He isn’t going to last too long there I’d imagine

When Liverpool scored, it cut to Kinsky on the bench. A couple on there had just leaned over to tell him "You would have saved that." He had a little smile.
