Well nobody else did it so here is the match thread

[martyg1950]

Presumably because all the pretty stuff in the first half produced f**k-all

 

It produced possesion, no serious attacks on our goal and a fair few chances - patience is a virtue :-)

[Glasgow_Saint]

Plan b ap?

[dune]

We really aren't very good are we?

[SET]

Connelly looks totally off the pace

[gaz]

Last term Norwich lost opening day, 7-0 to Colchester. They won the league.

 

Hysterics get you nowhere, apart from looking like a bell-end.

[alpine_saint]

Plan b ap?

 

my thoughts exactly. Pitty the main elements of our plan B from last season are gone.

[Thedelldays]

I am starting to fear alpine is right about not getting players in....

 

plymouth are ****e

[Smirking_Saint]

No, no, no. We have a super-deep squad, much better than the end of last season. Werent you told ?

 

Oh for a Papa or Antonio to run at them right now...

 

There is no problem out wide Alps, just no one to get on the end of what have been some very good crosses.

 

And we all knew we needed cover for Rickie

plymouth are ****e

 

never mind mate, 45 games to go...

[Glasgow_Saint]

bring on adam, maybe Oxlade too?

[Under Weststand]

Can't dispute that Alps was just thinking the same myself, they've come out very lackadaisically.

[SET]

Promotion aint won or lost on the opening day

[dune]

Lose today and lose next week and Pardew could well be sacked imo. I reckon Cortese wanted him out last season so will not be patient.

[martyg1950]

We really aren't very good are we?

 

We just conceded a stupid goal against a team that came here looking for a 0-0 draw, we've made it hard, not over yet tho

[Thedelldays]

Promotion aint won or lost on the opening day

 

it is if we miss out by a point

[Smirking_Saint]

Prob is we have two little guys up front who's main attributes are technique and goal poaching, they lack pace and height.

 

We defo need a replacement big man for RL

[Thedelldays]

hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooof

[Saint-scooby]

One goal will change eveyone, two goals and we have won. THATS if saints score them

[alpine_saint]

Lets hope the wait for Messi and Iniesta will be worth it...

[Glasgow_Saint]

the happy clappers will be happy with another year in L1.......? I just cant listen to all the bull**** excuses again

[farawaysaint]

Erm crap

[doggface]

We have been awful this half.

[SNSUN]

That's it, season's over. Everyone out.

 

OMG we will walk this league.

 

 

These are the stock phrases for this season. Delete whichever is appropriate.

[DG]

Time to copy plymouth's amazing strategy - try having a shot maybe?

[martyg1950]

Can't imagine anyone will be happy with that, equally can't see that the current situation indicates another season in L1 ?

Be as sarcastic and dismissive as you want.

 

The problem is that this has been entirely predictable.

[Smirking_Saint]

Whats with the hoofing we have no height ?

[gaz]

Lallana getting ready.

[Thedelldays]

how many shots on target have we had..?

[Under Weststand]

Lallana is coming on lets hope it gives the whole team a lift, they surely need it. Just hitting aimless balls at the moment

[SET]

Plymouth Left back has looked decent......................

[Jonnyboy]

what a predictable thread

[SOTONS EAST SIDE]

Back to the long high ball up to to small strikers. WTF

[Glasgow_Saint]

Can't imagine anyone will be happy with that, equally can't see that the current situation indicates another season in L1 ?

 

I think its time we start to call a spade a spade.....if you lose at home to Plymouth then say its a bad result, all the excuse about "no lambert" and its only one game bores the face of every1

[Dog]

Suicidal.

[Smirking_Saint]

hoooray !!!!

 

Not that i think it will change anything, we need someone to hold it up

[Glasgow_Saint]

we need a penalty

[dune]

Plymuff starting to sit back now so hopefully we can deliver some decent crosses for the first time this half.

[martyg1950]

Agreed it would be a bad result, wouldn't mean the whole season is a write off tho - of course there are gaps still to fill.

[gaz]

Take the word Plymouth out, and put any other side there and you can use that saying every time we lose.

 

You can't win them all.

[Glasgow_Saint]

You can't win them all.

 

there are gaps still to fill.

 

jesus the deja vu

[Smirking_Saint]

jesus

 

Whats wrong with that ??

 

The gaps still to fill ok, we should have got them in sooner but you don't win them all, it is what it is

 

 

SHOOOOOT FFS

[Under Weststand]

Why did no one shoot for god sake great move but wasted.

[crouchi]

and the strip, it's crap really isn't it

[dune]

20 minutes to turn our season around.

[Thedelldays]

how mant on target from open play....anyone..?

[Jonnyboy]

the happy clappers will be happy with another year in L1.......? I just cant listen to all the bull**** excuses again

 

jesus the deja vu

[Smirking_Saint]

More f*cking like it

[gaz]

Yay, lets lose a match and get hysterical. Never seen that before!

[Under Weststand]
