Saints 8 (Eight) Sunderland 0 - Match and Reactions

[Saints foreva]

Can't stand referee's that allow defenders to climb all over a striker just because the striker is a big build. We've had to see this **** week in and week out since we signed Lambert. It's a foul.

[Dalek2003]

We have to dig in for the 2nd half. Close the game down and get the 3 points.

[Sheaf Saint]

Well, that first half has exceeded any expectations I may have had about this game.

 

Sunderland look OK going forward but some dreadful defending has handed the points to us on a plate.

 

Best OG I have ever seen. That's going to get replayed forever on sports blooper programs.

 

Possibly should have been a pen for them, but then we should have had one just before the OG as well, so they can't really complain. Although if the ref had given it he would also have had no choice but to send off Forster, who just made himself a big obstacle rather than making any deliberate attempt to foul the player.

 

Difficult to give my full, objective analysis of the performance so far because my stream has been very suspect and I think I have probably spent more time watching the buffering icon than I have watching actual football.

agree. you see them given. Had FF went for the ball with his feet, he probably would have gone off

I think Franny's diving header is still my favourite even if it was obviously for us!

[BotleySaint]

What a strike from Vergini. ha ha ha

[JoeShmoe]

At the game, Davis, Clyne and Long have been excellent- they have looked ok going forward but shocking at the back

As with all others with problem streams - consider Anal Probe!

Tadic looked brilliant watching online

[Mr X]

forster doesn't seem the best at clearing the ball!

[jawillwill]

I have a very bad feeling about the second half.

[adrian lord]

Is the internet screwed up by millions of Yosemite downloads occurring??

[Lazlo78]

Forster vs. Fletcher was never going to be a red card, as there was no goal scoring opportunity - when Fletcher went down, the ball was already going out of play. Maybe there was a penalty though. It's very difficult to judge from a dodgy stream but I'm inclined to agree with 5string (post #76: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?52076-Southampton-v-Sunderland-Match-Thread&p=2067413#post2067413).

 

So debatable penalty but never a sending off...

[Batman]

Hull winning at arsenal

[Unbelievable Jeff]

Could do with Hull winning in all honesty if we have aspirations for a top 4 place...

[trousers]

Chuck Mane on I reckon

[Minty]

Some lovely link up play in the final third... fancy us to get another couple if we can keep this up.

[Dr Who?]

Much quieter in here when we are winning! Say it all really!

[Minty]

Although Adam Johnson coming on could be a threat... he likes playing and scoring against us.

[Dr Who?]

We have so pretty good run of games between now and then end of November. Great chance to get some serious points on the board.

[Minty]

More great link up play, Tadic' effort cleared off the line. So close to four.

[Batman]

eeer

 

4-0

 

not sure if that is an own goal lol

[Plastic]

Goooooaaaaaaal

[Dr Who?]

Arsenal will grab a couple in the last 15/20 mins.

[Minty]

lol, more comedy defending, 4-0!

[BotleySaint]

Probably an OG but it was going in anyway.

[Sheaf Saint]

Another comedy own goal from Sunderland. Maybe they felt sorry for us after our failure to beat them last season.

[Dr Who?]

I like this game! Lol

[GarrettIvo]

Own goal I reckon. I think Long has been quite good again. Desperately needs a goal or two though. Davis also sublime.

[BotleySaint]

This is surreal. They've really handed it to us so far but we are playing good attacking football!

[Batman]

long and davis off (both played really well)

for Wanyama and Mane

[DT]

Long doesn't look too happy. Miserable git

[DG]

Mane and Wanyama on to twist the knife.

[Rich102]

Fantastic pass from Forster made that goal. His kicking is such an improvement over Boruc.

[Minty]

Mannone saved it and I don't think it would've gone in but for Bridcutt's contact, so that'll be an OG.

[OttawaSaint]

Probably be an og, too bad long couldn' t have got there quicker and smashed it in to open his account...

[bpsaint]

Quality 4th hahaha, fairly certain it'll be given as an oggie.

[Minty]

No, scratch that, it was going in anyway...

[Viking Warrior]

At the Dunoon beer festival . Drinking awesome real ale . Listening to Tom Hinkley of inspiral carpets

And following the match thread . And saints tanking the black cats might have a pint of winter meltdown next

[Batman]

BBC have it as an OG

 

it seems Poyet move to 442 has gave us all the initiative

[BotleySaint]

5-0! WOW!

[Sheaf Saint]

We want 6!

[Dr Who?]

Long doesn't look too happy. Miserable git

 

Well he wants to open his account and it sounds like this game could have been a very good chance to do so.

[Plastic]

I love pelle

[OttawaSaint]

FIVE!!!!! Have we ever scored 6 in the prem?

[K,Billy's supersound]

was taking the complete **** right up to that 5th great stuff. easy.

[Saintandy666]

- Bridcutt OG.

[Dr Who?]

Get the feck in!

[Unbelievable Jeff]

FIVE!!!!! Have we ever scored 6 in the prem?

 

Only against United...

[Mr X]

FIVE!!!!! Have we ever scored 6 in the prem?
