Frank's cousin Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Aye watching on FirstRow, quality a buit pants but at least its live
doubleonothing Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Lots of empty seats. Surprising really. COYR Fulham lead it'd 1-0, everton 1-0 villa in other games RVP equalising for utd
BotleySaint Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Saints have made a good start. Lots of possession and passing. Wigan haven't got started yet.
Ex Lion Tamer Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Guly looking good so far, crowd singing his name at one point
doubleonothing Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Wigan starting to wake up a bit. Norwich 1-0 QPR
doubleonothing Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Lallana goes close. Great shot Saints corner
BotleySaint Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Was a great save from the Wigan keeper. You feel we need to start making the possession count.
skintsaint Posted 25 August, 2012 Author Posted 25 August, 2012 HITS THE WOODWORKWhat a save this is! Southampton captain Adam Lallana buys himself a yard of space with a deft turn and the midfielder cracks in a rising strike from 25 yards which Ali Al-Habsi just about finger-tips onto the crossbar. Brilliant effort. By the way, there are hundreds and hundreds of empty seats at Southampton. Not sure what that is all about.

Ex Lion Tamer Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Wigan are packing the centre of defence, could be tough to find a way through
The Kraken Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 By the way, there are hundreds and hundreds of empty seats at Southampton. Not sure what that is all about. Yep, really disappointing. I was hoping I'd be able to get away and get to the game but it wasn't to be. The online ticketting was certainly showing most seats as sold (for instance blocks 1 2 and 3 all sold out). They clearly aren't. With so few Wigan fans in attendance this will be below 30,000. Good start from Saints.
OldNick Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Lots of empty seats. Surprising really. it is disappointing, but the economy and opposition may have a bearing.
doubleonothing Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Font or Fon-tay? Was going to post the same! Not sure who the commentator is.

doubleonothing Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Saints twitter expecting rain later on. Relatively even so far, saints just edging it for me. Norwich 1-1 QPR
doubleonothing Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 I can't get a decent stream to save my life here. vipbox.tv is good. Does seem to stutter whenever we have a chance on goal though!
doubleonothing Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 “@officialsaints: Another dangerous free-kick from the left flank by Lallana but Guly cannot connect at the back post after the ball eluded the Wigan defence.”
doubleonothing Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 (edited) “@officialsaints: Fox down injured just outside the Wigan box. Doesn't look good – he had already picked up a knock inside the opening minute. #saintsfc” More games off. Harlepool orient off as monkey hangers stuck in traffic Aldershot off due to weather. Everton 2-0 up Edited 25 August, 2012 by doubleonothing Other matches info
Dalek2003 Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Bit of a slow game. Saints look a bit tentative. Need to be patient then find a bit of pace.
BotleySaint Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Wigan are starting to get into it more now.

Dalek2003 Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Wigan are starting to get into it more now. They are. We need to get our noses in front and then our confidence will help us to dominate the game. Does anyone think the atmosphere is a bit flat ?

badgerx16 Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 38 minutes in and the matchday thread is still on page #1 !!!!
doubleonothing Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 (edited) Does anyone think the atmosphere is a bit flat ? Was thinking that. Occasional chant but otherwise not much noise from the crowd. Be interested in attendance. Utd 2-1 up Now utd 3-1 Edited 25 August, 2012 by doubleonothing
Um Bongo Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Was thinking that. Occasional song but otherwise not much noise from the crowd. Be interested in attendance. Utd 2-1 up Now utd 3-1 BBC have quoted saying there are 'Hundreds and Hundreds of empty seats'.
Dalek2003 Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 BBC have quoted saying there are 'Hundreds and Hundreds of empty seats'. Would be interesting to see the attendance figures.
Jonnyboy Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 38 minutes in and the matchday thread is still on page #1 !!!! Most fans at the match? 0-0 so far?
sentry Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 vipbox.tv is good. Does seem to stutter whenever we have a chance on goal though! So clear as a summers day then.
skintsaint Posted 25 August, 2012 Author Posted 25 August, 2012 The weather conditions are replicating the dreary play on the pitch at St Mary's as heavy rain begins to bucket down at the end of the first half. Neither side are making an impact in the final third, and the closest we have come to a goal is a 25-yard drive from Adam Lallana that was pushed onto the crossbar.
maxi_sopez Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 well that was quite boring... But wigan posing no real threat... saints really need to kick on
Frank's cousin Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Bossed it really without too much in last third - certainly the better side al round but need a bit more creativity in final third.....
doubleonothing Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Half time 0-0. We're the better side, but Wigan are Getting up to our area sometimes. Could go either way.
skintsaint Posted 25 August, 2012 Author Posted 25 August, 2012 Why did I stick dosh on a Saints win.....dull first half by the sounds of it.
doubleonothing Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 “@GaryLineker: Surprisingly poor turn out for Saints first game back in PL. Ground looks half empty. Any reason?” What shall we tweet the crisp seller back?
Saintandy666 Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 The weather conditions are replicating the dreary play on the pitch at St Mary's as heavy rain begins to bucket down at the end of the first half. Neither side are making an impact in the final third, and the closest we have come to a goal is a 25-yard drive from Adam Lallana that was pushed onto the crossbar. Pretty much sums it up. I thought we passed well in the first twenty, but we need some more creativity. An explosive winger.
doubleonothing Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Round the grounds “@BBCSport: H-T's: A Villa 0-3 Everton; Man Utd 3-1 Fulham; Norwich 1-1 QPR; Saints 0-0 Wigan; Swans 3-0 West Ham (FT); Spurs 0-0 West Brom #bbcfootball”
BotleySaint Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 I am happy with the first half. Second half we need to go for it a bit more. Last week we counter attacked brilliantly but this week Wigan have barely mounted an attack worth countering! Not bad though.

That is a very accurate summary, totally agree.
