Saint Charlie Posted 4 May, 2013 Share Posted 4 May, 2013 If Puncheon had been on in the first half instead of that waster Lallana, we'd have taken advantage of Spurs and scored goals when they were half asleep. It's tragic Pochettino keeps picking Lallana to uninspire the team. Worse Saints Captain in my 64 years of supporting Saints. Just on the way back. Puncheon was crap when he came on.

rshephard3 Posted 4 May, 2013 Share Posted 4 May, 2013 Good performance. And I STILL believe 39 points will stay up. And we are STILL a good side. It's not a total loss of form. WBA was a shocker and we lost our heads. Today was a solid performance and a brave hard working defeat. There is no way we will finish the season on 39 points with Sunderland and Stoke coming up. We also don't look like a team who is going to lose 4 on the spin. No need to prepare for Dean Court in August just yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 4 May, 2013 Share Posted 4 May, 2013 We have to get a result from the next 2. I'm starting to dislike WBA more and more. They played well last week and lost from 2 winning positions today add to that how they helped Pompey in the past... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 4 May, 2013 Share Posted 4 May, 2013 Really frustrating to lose to a goal from one of our former players, when he had been kept quiet all match and we had been the better team until shortly before he scored. I'm inclined to believe that had Morgan played, that would have swung the game even more in our favour, so that the three points would have been ours. As it is, with us getting nothing from the match and rival teams winning, it really is starting to get squeaky bum time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 4 May, 2013 Share Posted 4 May, 2013 On Gareth Bale: "When a team has a player of those characteristics, they can light up those moments, there is nothing you can do against that. " well as Canal + have insisted on showing us the goal about 500 times I thought Shaw could have taken him down, probably have got a red of course and left us without a recognised LB, other than that Cork could have come forward and taken him down. Not very sporting of course but we'd probably have got a point in that way. Not sure that Morgan wouldn't have taken one for the team in those circumstances.

obelisk Posted 4 May, 2013 Share Posted 4 May, 2013 Anyone seriously thinking we will go down should cash in at Bet365 who have us at 40-1 Wasn't that 80-1 this morning? The worrying thing for me is our lack of goals. Plenty of nice passing in the middle of the pitch but finishing has been a problem for a while now. It's a good job we managed to do a job on Man C, Chelsea & Liverpool otherwise we'd be virtually down by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WealdSaint Posted 4 May, 2013 Share Posted 4 May, 2013 (edited) I still think (fingers crossed) that we will stay up this year BUT What the last few matches have shown is that we have not the depth in the squad to improve next season without some serious additions in the summer (I also wonder if we should have added at least one player in January) Edited 4 May, 2013 by WealdSaint spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpweySaint Posted 4 May, 2013 Share Posted 4 May, 2013 not sure why, but I missed this CL talk. Really? Mental. Bit of context on this one. Pochettino was asked about quotes for us challenging for european places in the future, say three years i think, he said no reason not to aim there next season. No harm in that being our aim. Wouldn't be happy with him saying "17th" next year, that's the aim." even if he thinks it. Provided we stay up anywhere around mid table and not having such a end of season panic would be considered progress really but top half of the table, not too unrealistic ..

Crab Lungs Posted 4 May, 2013 Share Posted 4 May, 2013 This is what happens when you don't take your chances. A draw would have been a more than fair result but I said to my friend that we'd be beaten by a late-minute goal today. Spurs actually aren't that greater side. They're like Man City, some great individual players but have a manager who tactically doesn't know how to get the best out of his side and just hopes for the best a lot of the time, relying on individual brilliance to carry them through. Saints, on the other hand, look like a "team". The problem is though, being a "team" doesn't get you any extra points. That said, I much prefer our structured way of play to any of those above, despite them having greater pools of individual talent. It's getting a bit squeaky now and if Wigan win on Tuesday, it'll really pile the pressure on. After doing the predictor, I've got us safe on 41 points in 11th (sharing the same points total as four other teams) with the relegated team, Norwich, on 39. It'll go to the last day, I'm sure. C'mon Saints, hold your nerve.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint-Beer Posted 4 May, 2013 Share Posted 4 May, 2013 Getting a little fed up with the Lallana bashers. He played well today and make a huge difference when he went off. Even the saints fans gave him a cracking reception. Both Adam Blackmore and Dave Merrington raved about him and said he was back to his best. Ok his shooting needs work, but he oozes class and has talent in the bucket loads. To say he's the worse captain of the past 64 years is a joke. For god's sake, get off his back.
