Golac's Iron Gonads

Keep that line up playing. For the love of God keep playing Boufal and Lemina.

Carillo's touch is shocking. Can't make a success of it as a forward in this league with a touch that poor. I'm hoping he's got something else in his locker or we've throw more money down the toilet.

a player raises and lowers his arm to signify his run up is beginning. It's for timing purposes (getting free of your marker and moving towards the goal)not a secret signal regarding where the ball is going to end up.

we end the game with the team that should have started the game. 15 minutes left

Pellegrino wants to get sacked. It's clear as day now. Never cared about the club, came for the money. Not even a gamble in his career. Fails and he gets a lovely payoff and returns to Spain. Accidentally succeeds and he gets an even bigger contract at a bigger English club. The man not only doesn't give a sheet he's actively trying to get the boot.

Nope. Unhappy with Pellegrino but getting rid of Puel's style of football and team selections was right.

Hasn't that been the way Liverpool have chosen which Southampton player to sign for the last few seasons?

Yeah sorry I meant after Tadic went off.

That struck me, too. Pellegrino was was very animated on the sidelines urging the team to move up. But he'd taken off Boufal and stuck on a central defender and subsequently no one seemed to know where they were supposed to be. Especially the front 3 (which I think went to a front 2 Long central and Tadic on left) You'd think formation variations would be drilled in practice. Suddenly we had no one on the right, at one point Davis found himself out there the ball was played down the line to him by Cedric, it seemed pretty obvious that Davis felt he had strayed from where he was supposed to be as he was reluctant to chase the ball and even more reluctant to take it any further down the wing. I got the right hump as soon as Boufal went off and sat there waiting for the inevitable equalizer, but Watford's ineptness should not be underestimated. As soon as Boufal went off we were finished as an attacking threat and didn't muster another shot at goal. I know because I was down that end. The attack looked a shambles bereft of any coherency. Still we're into the 5th round but christ this manager sucks big time.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/jan/24/leeds-united-new-crest-criticism-gaviscon It looks like a Gaviscon ad. Brilliant.

I admit I cashed out of one bet after Sunday's performance. I'm thinking the stink that VVD's attitude left over the team has been removed and I'm seeing slow improvement. Think we'll probably beat Brighton now and not be in the bottom 3 again. Though I am leaving the 26-1 bet running just incase.

Bloody hell,a performance. The first of the year where did that come from? Even Tadic played well. Nice to see 3 Saints in the opposition penalty in situations that weren't corners or free kicks. There is hope. Play like that for the rest of the season and we stay up. Gabbiadini, Lemina and Hoedt have to play, would like Boufal in the mix too. Hard to choose a man of the match but I'd go Stephens despite being pushed out the way too easily for their goal.

Seen Newcastle fans protest about Pardew at St Mary's and Chelsea fans create a dreadful atmosphere protesting about Benitez at Stamford Bridge, we hammered Newcastle and came from 2 down to draw at Chelsea. I don't like protests unless it involves staying away (what I'm doing currently and it isn't hard) or is booing at the end of another dire performance. Anything before the game or during doesn't help the team at all. I also want Pellegrino gone but I also want us to stay up.

Oh that's it bring on the subs in the 92nd minute you utter ****nut

Winning again. Time to drop back and play a little game, when we get possession in defence count how many passes it takes to get over the halfway line, if it's under 10 give yourself a treat.

I clicked link 2 and after closing a load of ads eventually got the stream. We look just the same as ever though so I'd say go make a cake or something instead.

Actually Watford is the nearest ground to where I currently live, old man asked me if I wanted to go this weekend, I declined seeing the chances of any joy/entertainment being remote so he's going with my sister instead. Before the draw I said hope we get a home tie against someone crap as I'll venture down for my first game of the season and fish and chips (the real attraction) and shaft my anus with a match day programme we get bloody Watford and I've committed to it. God damn you all to hell!

Dream draw as we'll be able to show a reaction after this weekend's loss to them.

Bloody snowflake millennials

Ideal scenario would be he plays an absolute blinder for 85 minutes then an innocuous challenge leaves him out for 10-16 months.

tell you something I believe, we'll lose to Fulham.

got us at 28-1 for relegation before we signed Lemina and Hoedt based on how badly we finished the last season. If you can't score you're in trouble and we did nothing to rectify that. Can already cash out for 200% profit. Stuck another bit on when we hit 15-1 after 6 easy games we didn't win.

I'm looking forward to all the bad karma emanating from many Saints fans hitting his right ACL in about mid January.

Should be building the attack (team) around Boufal but barely plays him. Get out of here scouse git.
