Dalek2003 Posted 31 October, 2015 Posted 31 October, 2015 Leicester come behind again and now winning. European fight for them I reckon Yes but the manager is straight out my book. Says it is important to get to 40 points first and then see if we can do something from there onwards. I totally agree, clubs like us and Leicester, it is all about reaching 40 points and anything else is a bonus.
waylander Posted 31 October, 2015 Posted 31 October, 2015 Makes our result against Leicester look a bit better.

Lighthouse Posted 31 October, 2015 Posted 31 October, 2015 Makes our result against Leicester look a bit better. And Watford, although no two games are ever the same.
ScepticalStan Posted 31 October, 2015 Posted 31 October, 2015 Yes but the manager is straight out my book.

I totally agree, clubs like us and Leicester, it is all about reaching 40 points and anything else is a bonus. For a club of our medium-ish size and relatively decent financial clout it is fair to set the bar a little bit higher. Aside from the promoted sides, we can reasonably aim to finish higher than West Brom, Palace, Stoke and Swansea who in my mind, are the current Premiership teams that can reasonably be considered 'smaller clubs' than us. Add to that the clubs that are bigger than us, but have clearly worse teams and a badly-run set up (Newcastle, Villa and Sunderland) and that's a minimum of ten sides we can claim that we should be finishing above.
The Cat Posted 31 October, 2015 Posted 31 October, 2015 It was last week, but the story of the Barnsley fan falling asleep on the bog at half time and waking up 7 hours later and being rescued by the fire brigade is everything that is great about English football.
John Boy Saint Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 As we are venturing outside the Prem with asides: Bury fans got their monies worth, 4-1 up at half time Blackpool put the willies up them and it finished 4-3, cousin said she was exhausted at full time.
skintsaint Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 I would be OK if this " second booking " unwritten rule was applied across the board , but its not . ****enburg sent Dwight Gayle off for 2 bookable offenses , but lets Lucas off for his second one . I guess one plays for palace and one for a big club . Didn't think it deserved a booking anyway, think the crowd going mad and Chelsea players getting involved made it look worse. Normally a nothing foul on the halfway line.
Professor Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 It may just be my sensitive Southampton bias showing, but it seemed to me that Liverpool (or their manager) got far more credit for the 3-1 win at Chelsea than Saints, or Koeman, did for Southampton's 3-1 at the same place. I seem to recall our win was said to be due to Chelsea's failings rather than Saints' performance, whereas against Liverpool, whilst the result has led to speculation about Mourinho's future, Liverpool are getting most of the credit for the result, with less focus on failing in the Chelsea team. I only saw the MotD highlights but from that it didn't look as if Chelsea played badly and there was an element of luck with at least 2 of Liverpool's goals. I did think there was some very good advice on MotD for Mourinho, from Ruud Gullit. Being humble when your team lose instead of constantly moaning, would do him a world of good. You can't really complain that your team lost because they had to play against 11 men, especially when one of your own players (Costa) should have been sent off for deliberately kicking an opponent in the chest while they were both on the ground. Interesting that Mourinho's rant against Dr Carneiro on the first day of the season seems to have set him on this road to destruction. Maybe, instead of considering a new manager, Chelsea should employ a psychologist to help out.

Don't think anyone should be getting credit for beating Chelsea this season......big LOLs at Arsenal for not beating them though
Batman Posted 1 November, 2015 Author Posted 1 November, 2015 Sunderland were 2-0, then brought it back to 2-2 now 5-2 down with 30 mins left to play they know how to have on off day at the back
PhilippineSaint Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Jesus, shut up it's not funny. Don't call Dalek Jesus he is just a naughty boy.
Lighthouse Posted 2 November, 2015 Posted 2 November, 2015 Come on Villa!!!!!! That lasted all of 3 minutes. Personally I never held up any hope of Villa doing us a favour. They are sh*te and likely to get battered.
adrian lord Posted 2 November, 2015 Posted 2 November, 2015 That lasted all of 3 minutes. Personally I never held up any hope of Villa doing us a favour. They are sh*te and likely to get battered. Too true.
markr27 Posted 2 November, 2015 Posted 2 November, 2015 Mike Dean on top of things, as usual. Yes look at me. Look at me. My over-exaggerated gestures and facial expressions. Never has the advantage message been demonstrated with such flair....
saint lard Posted 2 November, 2015 Posted 2 November, 2015 Spurs having a similar 2nd half as us thus far..backs to the wall. Villa score however.....and piling on the pressure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Dark Munster Posted 2 November, 2015 Posted 2 November, 2015 3-1 to the bastards. I hate to say it, but they do have a strong looking team on paper, and look a good bet to grab the top 4 spot vacated by Chelsea.
Lets B Avenue Posted 2 November, 2015 Posted 2 November, 2015 A lot of fuss was recently made over Grealish choosing England over Ireland. From the numerous times I've seen him play, I hope Roy Hodgson and his successors ignore the useless showpony.
Batman Posted 2 November, 2015 Author Posted 2 November, 2015 Poch doing a good job there. He is a good manager so no surprise I guess
shurlock Posted 2 November, 2015 Posted 2 November, 2015 Poch doing a good job there. He is a good manager so no surprise I guess Yep. Gone by xmas was the cry on here. Last xmas.
Saint Charlie Posted 2 November, 2015 Posted 2 November, 2015 Spurs looking strong and easily the best placed to capitalise on Chelsea's implosion. Poch continuing to be a very good Manager.
Batman Posted 2 November, 2015 Author Posted 2 November, 2015 Spurs looking strong and easily the best placed to capitalise on Chelsea's implosion. Poch continuing to be a very good Manager. Some good young English players being used too. Kane, dier, rose, mason, alli

CB Fry Posted 2 November, 2015 Posted 2 November, 2015 Poch doing a good job there. He is a good manager so no surprise I guess No surprise - this season is looking like his and probably Spurs best shot at fourth for a while. He's a settled season ahead of Klopp so really should be set up nicely for him. However, if the papers are to be believed Levy wants 4th and CL regularly, not nearly fourth, which is what other managers have been sacked/let go for.
doddisalegend Posted 2 November, 2015 Posted 2 November, 2015 Spurs looking strong and easily the best placed to capitalise on Chelsea's implosion. Poch continuing to be a very good Manager. Don't think anyone doubted he is a decent manager. He just ****ed me off with all his will/he won't antics about staying at saints while secretly setting up a new job at spurs. He could have been upfront about it but chose to be a sneaky little c unt instead.... still more than happy with Koeman so it all worked out in the end.

Their current good form is most disappointing.
