Ohio Saint Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Guys on NBC saying that West Ham was playing recordings of crowd noises to get the actual crowd going. Bizarre if true. Perhaps they should try showing some video of of a team actually playing football too.
JakkoUK Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Get in there Charlie, isn't it great when you have a striker that's on form and can finish! One opportunity, in a very very very boring game.. but boy does he know how to use it. I still refrain we can do better than this against this team and need to be careful with some of the challenges. Referee looks as if he has an itchy red card finger. But all round terrible game with terrible passing. Please, please lighten up this next half.. preferably on the Saint's side of things. Best attacking has been down the left wing, Bertrand has only really been the bright spark.
NewYorkSaint Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Disciplined, effective approach to an away game. Control possession, don't make mistakes. It's up to the home team to try to open it up, which they woefully failed to do. I suspect the second half will be a lot more dramatic. I can see a couple more goals. They'll throw everything at us and may equalize. But after exhausting them, supersub Shane Long will sneak a winner!
OttawaSaint Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 NBC are saying Saints were just conserving energy because West Ham were sitting deep and playing without intensity.
OttawaSaint Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Perhaps they should try showing some video of of a team actually playing football too. Sounds similar to mirror therapy. Shhhh, might just work.

That being said, when we give the ball away needlessly or whack a cross into the stands it's pretty frustrating!
Pass the Dutchie Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Not that bizarre. We have done similar in the past. Have we? I've been to many football games in my life but I don't think I've ever heard anything like that.

SuperSAINT Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Great goal. Slick little move. Please see this game out Saints!!
Ohio Saint Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Sounds similar to mirror therapy. Shhhh, might just work. Yeah, I feel like I've already jinxed us.
saint1977 Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Effective so far, if not pretty. Quality goal at odds with the game. Tadic our best player along with Bertrand and Redmond. Both midfields horribly lax in passing, even PEH and Noble giving it away at will. W Ham look very weak at full back, Cedric has defended very nicely but crossing horrible and should have cut back for Charlie. When does Puel take Romeu off?
OttawaSaint Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Yeah, I feel like I've already jinxed us. We desperately need a "all fart and no ****" or "seaside B&B" post from Alps to reverse that jinx. At this point i'd even take a post from that loon who went ballistic at everything Saints a few weeks ago when we weren't winning. Forget the tosser's name (SaintRobbie?).
austsaint Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Serves me right. I'm in santorini and guy says "Southampton they are boring team" I respond with "watch this and say that after 45 minutes"..... Lol, oops Awful Direct flight from Glasgow? Hasn't been the best of games - I think we need to up the work rate and press a little more. Quality finish from Chaz; lovely work from Bertrand. Not Cedric's best half.
suewhistle Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Consensus in the (non SO) pub I'm in was how dire the match has been, and you could see how Accrington nearly got a result.. I've only had one pint, stressful matches see me having 2 pints..
eurosaint Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Head injury, game stopped, always happens (Or does it, Bobby Madley ?)
OttawaSaint Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Great attack and game stopped for head bobo. If only a certain ref did that a few weeks ago. Hilarious.
HKsaint Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 2nd time, fell on the floor (Koukate) and ask the referee to stop our attack. Is it a new technique.
Batman Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 had to score there. great move. but should be 2-0 up pretty crap from tadic with the shot
trousers Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 How the **** has Tadic not scored there?
OttawaSaint Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 We've already been better this half. Fonte unlucky with the header.
SO16_Saint Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Was easier for Tadic to score then FFS
mrfahaji Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Should score but also a great save from the keeper, it wasn't like he scuffed it or blasted over.
St Chalet Posted 25 September, 2016 Author Posted 25 September, 2016 Looking much better. Tadic should have scored there.
striker Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 We need another score. I don't trust this match in the late minutes.
Lighthouse Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Perfect height for Adrian really. A foot higher or lower, that would've been in. Looking better second half, so far.
Batman Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 redmond rightly furious with tadic for not passing it first time
NewYorkSaint Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Would love to see 10 mins of Hesketh. He was so beautiful to watch on Weds... But first, let's wrap this up!!
SO16_Saint Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Redmond saying what most are thinking: quicker
striker Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Oh great, Redmond and Tadic don't like each other
Batman Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 decent tackle by fonte there Payet should have been booked for doing the ref needs glasses gesture
mrfahaji Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Redmond saying what most are thinking: quicker One of Tadic's weaknesses (I guess occasionally it can pay off) is that he likes a bit of time on the ball, whether it's passing, dribbling or shooting.
OttawaSaint Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Oh dear, Payet must have broken his leg with a scream like that. No? He's fine to continue. Hmm.
Batman Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 dive all day long he should be booked also and he was
adrian lord Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Dive. Romeu is very vulnerable though Id take him off
SO16_Saint Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Was Forster flexing something then... Hope he's not felt a niggle
Miltonaggro Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Commentator willing a WHAM goal Been awful all afternoon. We deserve to win this.
Pass the Dutchie Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Have to be careful now. Next one will be a penalty, with the referee vulnerable to the crowd.
OttawaSaint Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Jesus, it's like appealing to a cricket ump. Hopefully he doesn't raise the finger on one of these.
FriendlySaint Posted 25 September, 2016 Posted 25 September, 2016 Zaza is a cheat. Should have been booked and should be banned for that. Blatant attempt at cheating and conning the ref.
