Well nobody else did it so here is the match thread

[gaz]

I know its only been 25mins but everyone is trying to pressure and close down the opposition when they have the ball.

[Under Weststand]

Good effort Spiderman shoots just wide

[gaz]

Its taken a while but we're finding the range on crosses now.

[Under Weststand]

Free header Hammond but off target once again

[Thedelldays]

hammond should have hit the target...great crosses all game from the left

[Glasgow_Saint]

Dickson can deliver a superb cross = good times

[dubai_phil]

Dickson can deliver a superb cross = good times

 

See, I said he looked good at LM :-)

 

I'm liking this OK we aren't getting penetration at the moment but we ARE showing technical quality out there and it is attractive tidy football

 

Still have this as a draw though 0-0 all over it

 

 

Oh 47C down here it is fecking hot

[Tom28]

Dickson and Harding are tearing them apart on the left. The new Bridgey and Marsden...

[Thedelldays]

with the crosses going in..you can only think that we would be winning if lambert was playing.....arrrrrgh

[SO16_Saint]

We've looked excellent just need a goal

[dune]

Today is a sign of what's coming for every home game where teams will be loking not to lose as oposed to looking to win.

[Arizona]

We're playing some good stuff. Not clicking yet in terms of a goal, but the signs are there. Some decent deliveries from Dickson, Harding and Butters.

[dubai_phil]

Luvin this so far, we look good, goals will come, looks like Peter Reid has been working on Plymouths defence pre season, good test for us. Bonus - saints player works without frop outs so far :-)

[SO16_Saint]

The ref is a bit chunky!!

[Suhari]

We look tidy, but really need to move the ball quicker. Too one-paced.

[Arizona]

The ref's not doing to badly either... so far.

[Under Weststand]

Come on another Corner make it count

[martyg1950]

2nd vote for that stream

It's got about 30secs lag on it

[Um Bongo]

Great cross from Harding, another corner.

[Um Bongo]

Fonte playing as a winger, Jaidi header over.

[bender]

if we win...and go top..we would be top of A league since........................................???

 

1988/1989. Beat Wham 4 - 0 then qpr 1 - 0 then luton 2 - 1 which put us top. Would have stayed there too if Arsenal hadnt cheated in 4th game.

[Under Weststand]

Fonte new left winger LOL

''Jose-Fonte-Baby, Jose-Fonte-whoaaooo...''

Cheers not as good as the one I had bit juddery

[doggface]

Some great balls in the box this half where are the strikers?

 

We would be 3-0 up with rickie

[bender]

commentators keep harping on about how great this scoreline is for plymouth. Says a lot for me.

[gaz]

Barnard boots a Plymouth player in the face.

[dune]

Barnard boots a Plymouth player in the face.

 

should have been a booking, lucky boy.

[Um Bongo]

Half time - 0-0.

[Glasgow_Saint]

HT - AP out!!

[dubai_phil]

arrgh This channel is blocked by admin as well

 

Merrington it is then

[SuperMikey]

We're looking great, just need a goal to secure the result. Would like to see Lallana maybe coming on for the last 10 minutes or so.

Also, Sky Sports researchers are crap: "Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could come off the bench to make his debut for Saints today". Uhh, he played for the first team 2 or 3 times last season...

[dubai_phil]

Right, that's it. I blame the Iranians. Things haven't been right down here with Internet and stuff since (allegedly) the Yanks tried to blow up Ahminaphoneboothdad last week.

 

Off to try to reboot the telly again

Half time, looked good for most of that half, good interplay, a couple of clear headers for Harding. We're gone have to be patient & the chances will come.

How easily pleased we are...

[qwertySFC]

Rickie is going to have a field day if the crosses are like that for him

[SuperMikey]

How easily pleased we are...

 

Are you watching the game...?

Yep, that one is much better.

 

Some excellent play by us.....would be 3 nil up by now if we had a certain man in the box....

[Hamilton Saint]

Saints looking very good!

 

Particularly impressed with Harding and Dickson on the left.

[brightspark]

should have been a booking, lucky boy.

 

Absolutely no chance! Yes it was careless, but it certainly wasn't reckless (= yellow card), neither did it use excessive force (= red card).

 

That's my "qualified and current active referee comment" of the day out of the way

[SO16_Saint]

What's the cheering about at HT?

[ericofarabia]

Nice One ..... Murty given a completely unbiased point of view ..... LOL
