Saints 3 Brighton 0 - Post Match Chat


SOTONS EAST SIDE

Recommended Posts

Well deserved win, watched it online and KD didnt have a sav to make, ref had a 'mare in the 1st half, terrible, but made up for it in 2nd with a dodgy 1st pen. Have to say disappointed that Brighton didn't have a plan B after going 1 down, thought they would change from being snidey, moaning, diving etc but didn't go out and attack us.

 

Champagne football at times too!

 

Boro, Derby and Brum dropping points is brilliant, gutted West Ham scraped through against Cov - oh and the Skates lost!

Bit of a strange game I guess with two dodgy penalties but they evened out the two we definitely should have had in the fist half. Perhaps the ref saw the replays of those at half time and realised his error so gave us a couple of soft ones to balance it out.

 

After the red card it was a walk in the park, but even before that Brighton had nothing going forward (no shots on target according to BBC stats) and resorted to dirty tactics. Isn't is jut sooooo coincidental that a team managed by Gus chimp-face Poyet has the worst disciplinary record in the league?

 

The table is 'as you were' with WHU coming back to win at Coventry, but Boro dropped some points at home, as did Birmingham who everybody was so concerned about if they won all their games in hand. After today's results they would still be 8 points behind us if they did.

 

Can we start dreaming of the premiership yet?

58% possession - thought it was even more tbh.

 

5 yellow cards to them and of course a delicious red.

 

All a bit bizzarre could have had 6 pens and the 1st one wasn't even in the box LOL LOL LOL

 

The sliders on the stats page of saints player look like my graphic equaliser when it's set to play my favourite Queen song....We will rock you!!

2 wrong penalties given IMHO - 1st was outside the area and for the 2nd I simply couldn't spot any contact between Calderon and Lambert even in slo-mo in the HD tv. Red card was harsh but Tarricios own fault I guess...

 

Should have had at least one penalty that was not given (against Lambert late in the 2nd half), and two weaker claims in the first half, and overall a deserved victory no matter what Poyet will claim.

Brighton fans saying we only won because they were crap and the Ref was on SAINTS side!! LMFAO http://www.northstandchat.com/showthread.php?220032-Southampton-v-Brighton-amp-Hove-Albion-****-Official-Match-Thread-****/page32

 

I thought WE were crap in the first half,pretty clueless but Brighton couldn't capitalise on it.Thought the ref was absolutely dire,

if he made 100 decisions today 99 of them must have been wrong,in this case 2 wrongs definitely made a right though.

Absolutely hilarious watching that online. Very even first half although had had much more intent than Brighton. Second half it went crazy. We had legitimate penalties completely ignored by the Ref, two penalties given that were not penalties, and the best bit was seeing Brighton completely lose their discipline picking up 5 yellow cards and a red card mainly for dissent!

 

That was quite humiliating for Brighton and quite an apt serving of humble pie for Poyet after his comments on both Saints and racism this week. His team are poor.

 

Will be great viewing as the main game on the Football League show tonight!

Just had a look at that and the only idiots on there are our lot gloating. They won L1 fair and square last season playing superb football, we outplayed them tonight and were lucky to get both our pens (although we should have had at least 1 in the 1st half) but Lambert's 1st was a class, legit goal. 90+% of the Brighton fans on there say we were the better side today - geuinely don't see what your problem is?

 

Let it go eh?

Adkins:

- credit to Brighton for controlling the ball as good as any team at St Marys this season

- we changed shape to go narrow and it worked well so credit to the players

- we wanted width to get crosses in and that worked in the second half

- we controlled game in second half and kept discipline

- we took too many touches in the first half and passing wasn't quick or crisp

- Lambert keeps getting better - he works hard and the coaching staff allows players to get better if they apply themselves

- Connolly has a knock on his groin and should be available in a few weeks

- Harding has tweaked his knee

- We have a good squad who work hard

An enjoyable, relaxing game to watch - bizarre ref performance, but the penalties we got evened out the ones we should have had but didn't. Brighton offered nothing - if the stats showed 58% possession I'm surprised cos I thought it looked more like 75%.

 

Job done.

 

TOP OF THE LEAGUE - WE'RE 'AVIN A LAUGH!!

Just had a nosy on there what a bunch, no perspective at all. Yes the ref was awful today, but there were 3 clear pens not given which they see as ok! not getting away with them. The 1st one given looked outside the box, and the second one Calderon hung his leg in the way for Rickie to trip over it shame. They really don't like us do they HA Ha!

Rickie the fat chap can't they see he is lean & mean LOL

Got two Pens we did not deserve and did not get two Pens we deserved! What a strange game it was. Boring Brighton and dirty tactics got what they deserved. Looked to me as if Gus got into a bit of verbal with a Saints fans near the tunnel.
