SaintTex

when your only hope is a 30 year old striker who leads the club with 4 goals after 30 matches.

did the Saints shirt say: "Southampton - EFL Cup 2017 Winner" ?

you could be a Luton supporter. staring down a second straight relegation after experiencing the "heights" of the PL.

The first impression I had of Aribo as a Saint was some nifty footwork in the 18 yard box and then a tidy finish in a pre-season match. I thought we had found a real impact player at the time. i really did!

....and then our manager started these three at the back again. you know, at my work place, we have this thing called "Lessons Learned" where we meet to discuss errors made on past projects so we don't repeat them on future ones. pretty evident no one is learning any lessons at this club. --

i am sincerely curious.. what do you think our best 11 is?

a trio of ABK, Bree, and Aribo at CB gave up 4 goals? Shocking. ......well probably the least shocking thing i have every heard. Yet we have a manager that thought that could work. you got a Championship RB, a middling midfielder, and a one true CB who hasn't seen the pitch in 2 years. What could do wrong? I mean, do they even know each other?

i am sure he looked great on the training ground against our explosive attack.

you held out hope longer than the rest of us.

our football is more yacht rock.

I believe so. I don't think he has one since leaving Saints. (curse?) man, at the time it looked like he was going to smash the record.

We can put it right next to Shane Long's quickest goal scored and Sadio Mane's fastest hat trick. the trifecta!

only two goals? well that damn well would make him among the top of our league scorers this season (and an assist!) - with less minutes ,

honestly, i didn't allow myself to be elated for the first 70 minutes. self preservation for my mental health

this aged well. gulp.

Technology took pity on me.. "Video unavailable. The uploader has not made this video available in your country"

i totally forgot we were still in this. i just assumed we crashed out long ago.

Saintsweb is a lifeline for all things Saints for those of us in the United States. So glad it is back up and running. I felt like i had lost the pulse of club and supporters while down. wait.. do we have a pulse?

pretty well summed up, but more like 8 years 2017-18 17th 2018-19 16th 2019-20 11th (9 weeks in the relegation zone) 2020-21 15th 2021-22 15th 2022-23 20th 2023-24 Championship 2024-25 20th Pelle, Tadic, Mane, VVD days feel like 30 years ago, not 10.

I wonder if Ivan has had a sit down with Stewart yet? or maybe he can't be found. ..

i choose to be optimistic...or why else watch the rest of the season? just 8 points from 17th with 21 matches to go... why not dream a little? with a little luck tomorrow and friday, it could be 5 points from 17th with 20 matches to go

so SR sacks Jones after 3 points in 8 matches, but sits on their thumb while Martin goes 5 points in 15 matches? are they even wanting to stay up this go around?
