Saint Keef

The worst referee that there's been Was the biggest CUNT I've ever seen The game's gone corrupt, and is totally fucked And the name of that ref....is Mike Dean

If we didn't have bad luck, we'd have no luck at all.

Take JWP, Ings and Armstrong off to save injuries - bring the kids on - let them have a run around. It's 12 against 10 (Mike "look at me" Dean) being their extra man.

Brilliant! We need to get t-shirts, mugs, socks. etc etc. done. Haha. Well done Whitey Grandad. Shane can wear a shirt with it on......whilst he's sitting on the bench!

Don't even get me started on the moon landings!!! 😀 But since you ask......Everybody knows that a man has never landed on the moon.................but a woman has. I speak of course, of Princess Diana, who was the first and only person to land on the moon. She was then murdered by Elvis Presley, who at the time was working as an undercover cop in Paris. His boss, Robert Maxwell, ordered the "hit". Both Presley and Maxwell, together with their butler, Adolf Hitler, are now fugitives, living on a boat endlessly drifting around the Solent. Some say you can see this boat when there is a full moon and (just to keep it Saints topical) can hear them shouting......"Come on ref - that was definitely a penalty. Goddamn VAR". If you doubt any of this, just ask my mate......David Ike.☠️

I have long had a theory. Maybe even a conspiracy theory. I'm sure I'm not the only one to have thought this. I am definitely not naming any names here, but some of the refereeing decisions we see every season are absolutely baffling. Inexplicable to us fans who watch games week in, week out. Referees work along-side and mix with players every week. They earn reasonable money, but a fraction of what the "mega bucks" players around them are earning. Temptation must be there. Betting syndicates from the far east (China? but other countries too) are very powerful organisations and offer enormous amounts of money to individuals in sport to throw matches (we've seen it on the continent in football and indeed in Test Match cricket). What if these betting syndicates were to get into the referees in this country? Bets on the number or corners, number of fouls, sending off's, throw ins, yellow cards., match scores, both teams to score, or a simple "There must not be a penalty in this game" etc etc. Yes I'm angry about the injustice of last night, but it's not just our games, this is happening in so many games. Lets just say I wouldn’t be at all surprised if in the future it was discovered there is high level corruption of this type in the game. And that will blow the roof off the Premier League forever!!! There - I've said it.

Get rid of VAR. It's ruining the game. There needs to be a proper investigation into these officials. Look at some betting patterns or something. I'm starting to think someone is "on the take" Not just our games, right across the board. I've resisted saying it before but I'm starting to think corruption!!!!!

Of course, proof is not needed, but Mike Dean just confirming what an absolute fucking knob-head he is.

Hopefully he's not more of a Wesley Hoedt type player. I'm not sure we'll ever get to find out though.

BBC are saying Liverpool are hopeful of signing a defender. Where's Vesti?......don't let him out of your sight. I'd be very surprised if Spurs don't at least make an enquiry about Ings with Kane now out. I'm not one of the "doom & gloom" merchants on here, but the next three days could be interesting. And if the worst was to happen, I would hope we are lining up replacements already as we would have to act very quickly. Just sayin.....

It's already on the Danny Ings thread, but Kane injured tonight, ankle again, possibly long-term. They've got 4 days? to come in for Danny Ings. "That'll be fifty million pounds please Mr Levy".

You beat me to it. Got to be worth £50m to them to get him now! haha.

Congrats to JWP. A goal (or two) tonight to cap it off would be lovely.

I agree with Whelk. So many pessimists on this site. We've got to get behind the team. 0-5 Arsenal .........(only joking!) Just seen the team sheet. Cedric at left back. 5-0 Saints.

I don't know about Liverpool coming sniffing around, I shouldn't think f***ing Hartlepool would come sniffing now.

Yep. Another clean sheet, making it five out of six, but there are people here who would prefer to gloss over that. Well done Jack!

I don't like Burnley......but I can't stand Liverpool.....so I guess that's a good result.

Let's assume he goes for £20m. Who could we buy for £20m? If I recall we only paid about £18m for that prolific striker Carrillo..............oh, hang on a minute.

Agree. I think the lack of crowds in the grounds is really starting to tell on the players. There seems to be a complacency that you perhaps wouldn't have if 30,000, 40.000 or 50.000 fans are urging you on, or conversely getting on your back if you make a mistake. I'm sure many of the players thrive on the adrenaline a crowd brings. The Liverpool v Man U game was another "top 6" snore fest. Liverpool apparently had 3 shots on target - Man Utd had 4. When you look at "the talent" on display that's pretty poor by anyone's standards.

Agree. There is nothing to say we can't be critical of players, or individual performances, or specific incidents during matches, but there is no need at all to be downright offensive and abusive towards the players. Some of those players "maybe" friends and/or acquaintances of people on here. Have some respect!

We just lost to a team who now sit second in the league. Two weeks ago we beat Liverpool. It happens. This week we were missing the spine of our team, probably 5 "starters" out, plus a couple of "back-ups". I really think some people on here need to take a reality check. Get behind the team and stop slagging individuals off. Smallbone looked good and is getting praised for it, but you can guarantee if he has a poor game next time he'll get crucified by some on here. Stephens has been part the defence which has kept 3 clean sheets (incl. Liverpool) before this game, but we concede 2 goals and he gets hammered on here. We know he's not our first choice centre back at present, but he hasn't done bad since coming in as a replacement for Vesty. Losing any game hurts, of course it does, that's why we are here, but please.....don't wet your beds, get behind the team and basically.......... get over it.

Totally agree. Three clean sheets before this game (including Liverpool). We concede a goal (it happens in football you know) and people can't wait to start slating individuals. The negativity on here is unbelievable sometimes. Imagine if we were having a shit season!

That's got to be the worst chat-up line of all time.🤣

Of course stripes will make a come-back at some point, but personally I really like the sash. It set's us apart. Is there any of the other 91 league clubs with a sash? Someone on here will know. And if (OK it's still a big if) we were to get into Europe wearing the sash......or dare I say, even better than that (top 4 ?!!!!!).......how about a bespoke sash European kit for European ties only? More for the poor fans to buy of course but a great souvenir for those who can afford/want it and possibly extra revenue for the club during challenging times. Just a thought.....

Pompey out - so any dreams of drawing them out of the hat have gone. Fair play to Crawley, that was a very decent display against Leeds. I thought Leeds first choice keeper has been dodgy all season (he only looks about 12 years old) but I can see why he hasn't been dislodged - their keeper yesterday was awful. I wonder if they might come in for Forster if we were to recall Gunn from his loan.......or even come in for Gunn. Just a thought.
