Watford 2-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Disco Stu]

My biggest concern is we're less than an hour away from introducing the world to our monstrosity of an away shirt.

Glad Bragg is starting alongside Flynn as he's class 😊

3-0 Saints

Diaz…. What is the point of this selection, absolutely dreadful player.

Give him away

The lack of cm’s on the bench is the only concern for me. Would have thought they could have included a u21 player.

Wood can come on and move Stephens into CM 

[DellBlockH]

Good grief. Sky host just asked if Jarrod Bowen is the greatest player ever to play in the Championship?

Cant seem to get fawanews to load except an archived page, has it been taken down over the summer? 

Get yourself a decent iptv

Sky have completed the West Ham love-in and next up it's everything we already know and have heard about spygate.

They are obsessed with this question.

It wasn’t a love-in. Most of what was said is obvious. Did you expect them to say they will struggle and their stadium is old and will struggle for crowds with an inexperienced manager?

I shall be tuning in at 13:30hrs and no sooner for this reason. 

[Jack]

This spygate stuff is so boring, hope it becomes old news soon but doubt it. We have a fast start - spygate definitely galvanised us. Slow start - Tonda is only any good when he can cheat or it’s a hangover from spygate

[saint michael]

Keep it tight, keep a clean sheet well happy with 1 0 win 🙌

I used to like Jobi McAnuff, what a load of shit 

[die Mannyschaft]

Odds if anyone interested.

No reminder by Sky Sports then that Jobi McAnuff sits on the FA board.

Out in Okehampton this morning and seen both a saints kit and Watford kit being worn, funny seeing kits in places you don’t expect. 
 

Strong line up, really hope the momentum carries on from last season.

That he’d like to have seen Saints ditch Tonda

[HarvSFC]

Kevin Phillips, a completely different man from his playing days.

[Wade Garrett]

We’re going to fucking smash them.  Sky pundits are all thick as mince and can all go and fuck themselves.

I like being the club that nobody likes.  About time, it’s going to give us an edge.

Elton John will be pulling that shitty rug off his bonce when we turn his lot over.

Thanks for sharing. I don’t really care about McAnuff or his views, but I do have a problem with him being presented as a neutral party, given his Portsmouth ties and being on the FA Board…

Weirdly Saints instagram panned round the changing room and Akachukwu had a shirt hanging up, but he’s not on the team sheet - unless someone has dropped out late

Been in Whiteley this morning and seen half a dozen Saints shirts (mostly the third kit) but more importantly no Skate kits 🤣

What Portsmouth ties? 

[SNSUN]

Best Keeper in the League, best CB in the League, best CM in the League, best LW in the League, best striker in the League. Best MANAGER IN THE LEAGUE!!!!

 

UT motherfucking S

(How long before the start of the season bubble bursts...) 😇

Absolute pratt imho. Like many in the media not keen on us!

[saint michael]

Don’t worry we are always great on the opening day

Yep. Question as to how the players will react to the hate? What from Watford?! I am sure they don’t give a shit and it is a pundit thing, and a few melts who phone radio stations

Tbf I don’t pick up on that at all. He is allowed an opinion. Often very complimentary about us.

[Viking Saint]

anyone got a decent stream? fawanews not working

His mum’s from there: https://www.thefa.com/news/2022/oct/01/jobi-mcanuff-black-history-month-20220110

 

I can’t find it, but there was a 72+ episode from BBC Sounds where he talks about having a soft spot for them and that a load of his family support them. Think he almost moved there once, too

[DellBlockH]

Never understood why Watford come out to Johnny Todd/Theme from Z Cars. I can understand Everton doing it. Couldn't Sir Elton have written them their own tune?

[RedArmy]

Fucking hell that kit is hideous

It was filmed at Elstree just down the road

Ref half asleep, clear foul on edge of box.

[sadoldgit]

This might be controversial but the away kit doesn’t look too bad live

[Saint_clark]

Ergh, we look like Pompey in that kit from the back.

But it looks like.a gender-reveal party in person.

Has the ref made a decision yet?

I was just about to post that it doesn't look as bad as I thought it would... It's all relative though...

[SNSUN]

So close! Lovely touch by Larin!
