Spurs v Saints Thread

[Heisenberg]

This game will mark 597 days since we last beat a top 6 side (coincidentally it was Spurs away) in the league.

 

Got a funny feeling we will pinch this one*

Defeat.

[St Lej]

Who the hell actually has any enthusiasm for this turgid dross any more? Actually look fir ars to days when we aren't playing now, absolutely miserable tonight thanks to to this chump in charge

[Pamplemousse]

Ha. Turn the football off and enjoy your christmases everyone!

 

Eat, drink, laugh and avoid Saints til new year!

 

You don’t seem like you enjoy anything in life. Try to cheer up a bit.

[ALWAYS_SFC]

Wemberly, Wemberley, we`re the greatest southampton and we`re of to wemberley....

 

 

[Dalek2003]

We will probably win. Football is a funny old game !

[Bad Wolf]

I reckon we'll take a point from this. Weird I know but....

[badgerx16]

We will set up in the same defensive formation as we have for previous 'big' away games, hoping to keep the match scoreless for as long as possible but eventually going behind to a goal scored after a defensive mix up, probably involving VVD. The pundits will applaud our brave effort, which will be enough to keep MoPe in his job and enable him to carry straight on into the Man Utd game in similar vein.

[James]

Plucky narrow defeat here we come - the MP speciality performance against big teams.

[aintforever]

If we play well with a bit of luck we might be able to grind out a narrow defeat.

[Golac's Iron Gonads]

I will be captaining Kane in my fantasy team.

"Come on You Spurs............?"

[Wrensup]

Definitely a spirited lose.

[fanimal]

TurnSky off after 20 minutes I reckon…..don't let it spoil Boxing Day but at least the alcohol will soften the blow

[John Boy Saint]

Just checked my Dream Team points Sun Bets quoting 17/2 for a Saints win 18/1 for a 1-0 win, that is a bit grim.

[Pamplemousse]

If Pellegrino has received the full backing of the board, and is in no danger of the sack any time soon, then he should be brave and name either Hesketh or Sims (if they’re fit) in the starting line up. They can’t do any worse.

[saintquin]

Can't see anything but our biggest defeat of the season!

[LGTL]

Things likely to happen;

 

Kane will score

Ali will dive

Tadic will throw his arms around

Redmond will run into blind alleys

Prowse will bottle a challenge

Yoshida will be dragged out of position

Yoshida will make a stupid foul on the edge of the box

Gabbiadini will make run after run and touch the ball once all game

Davis will lose the midfield battle

Lemina will be our best player

We'll concede on 45 or 90

 

Can't wait.

He will also describe it as a “difficult game”.

2-0 Spurs. Pellegrino out. Pellegrini in.

[Travelling Saint]

Escaping the inlaws to watch it. Can't imagine Saints will give me much to shout about, but then I am in the spuds end so probably not a bad thing.

[Pilchards]

Off to the parents on Boxing Day and my Dad and two brothers are Spurs fans.

Never In a million years we will beat them as we are ****e.

[Saint Albert]

Perhaps Poch will do a Pellegrino and bench 3 or 4 of his best players for this game.

And not change it until it's too late again

[adrian lord]

Relegation zone beckoning.

[Pamplemousse]

But a 15 minute spell will be the ‘perfect performance’

[BotleySaint]

Fear the worst. 4 nil i reckon with at least two for Kane.

[Micky]

Which would be a 'spot on' assessment.

That's out best 11 at the moment imo (assuming same injuries, and VVD not being selected). No chance he'll pick it though.

Not exactly a credible assessment when you say it after every game we've had this season.

[Dark Munster]

If we lose let's hope it's by a big enough score to finally convince the board to get rid of the clown.

[Sevvy]

2-0 lose, MP Sacked.

This team for me.

 

Van Dijk sale has been agreed, so we won’t see him again......

 

Lose this one and vs Man U and we could well be in the bottom 3 playing Palace at home.....and they have found form.

 

We are in a battle and it’s going to get ugly, frankly if MP isn’t sacked after the next two (assuming we lose) he isn’t going to be, I just hope we spend all of the Virgil transfer fee and we do it early in the window.

[MOSaint]

Seems like a pointless match for us, the team sucks so we'll lose. But it's against Spurs so losing likely won't stir anything in the decision makers with regards to sacking MP unless we take a real thrashing.

 

We really need a new manager in before that Palace game, since they are the perfect opposition for a new man to come in against, get a win and build some instant momentum.

This, but like others have said the club will dither around & not admit they've made a huge mistake & it will simply be too late for any manager to make the slightest bit of difference, we will be in a relegation battle in a couple of weeks time that is for sure!

And praying that some players will join us when we are in the bottom 3.

[niceandfriendly]

3-1 to Spurs but we will take the lead after a promising start. Romeu will play well finally, Davis will have another shocker, and Ward-Prowse will again be paid money for playing football.

[simo]

Either a spanking or tight draw (which will keep him in a job a bit longer) So are we at the wanting to lose so we sack him stage yet ?

[SFC-TID!]

Wrong thread but am hearing rumblings Virgil is actually going to Liverpool.

 

Le Tiss is even suggesting so.

 

I can’t get any sense from anyone. We’ll see in a week.

Bit odd if its true City are after him. Guaranteed premier league winners medal there.

[ashnats]

Money > medals

If McQueen and Ward-Prowse are in our best 11 we really are in trouble. The Manager must be moved on; it's getting close to crisis time.

That would be sad considering we could put him in a bidding market.

[BARCELONASAINT]

I cannot see anything but an embarrassing defeat today. I don't think our players have the stomach for a fight and MP is absolutely clueless.

 

There is no doubt that the majority of Saints fans are completely demoralised by the last 12 months and relegation is becoming a real possibility.

I am fed up to my back teeth with the turgid performances BUT the straw that will break the camels back for me will be the sale of VVD to Liverpool...if that is what happens.

 

Any other team i can accept but not Liverpool as the impact the VVD illegal approach has without doubt had a major impact on the players and the club as a whole. The whole saga has been like a cancer slowly spreading throughout our club.

 

If we sell to Liverpool the way i am feeling at the moment then i feel i will turn my back on Saints and do something else on Saturdays.

[Ivan Katalinic's 'tache]

Harry Kane will score in the first 10 mins to break the record then we will storm back to win 4-1 with a scintillating display of attacking football, including a Gabbiadini hattrick. That's what I asked Santa for anyway...

[beatlesaint]

unless Liverpool are the only ones matching our asking price of course.

Surely the club isn't blind to this. Surely? There must be someone there who has an iota of empathy for the feelings of the fans? If not they deserve everything they get.
