SKD Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 If saints fan want to tip the 1 or 2 members of the hierarchy that are still in favour of Pellegrino staying, we need to be slightly less nice. The players and management at the moment know there is no real punishment for faliure at the moment. If, however, after the first goal for united against our shambles of a team the fans stop fruitlessly giving their vocal backing to a disinterested side and instead, on live TV loudly call for the managers head for the remaining 70 mins, we might even see MP sacked before the palace game. No place to hide on Live coverage! Just have to keep it clean so it wouldn't get muted.... Let me guess, Les (the man who appointed him) is one of these 2. Textbook.
trousers Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 If saints fan want to tip the 1 or 2 members of the hierarchy that are still in favour of Pellegrino staying, we need to be slightly less nice. Assume the "1 or 2" includes Gao, given his stance would trump all other opinions in the hierarchy...?
MarkSFC Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 if the way Pellegrino has come across in that press conference just now is typical of him day to day on the training field no wonder our players seem to have any inspiration or motivation to do well. This CLUB needs a new leader and the TEAM need a new leader both of whom have some damn energy, enthusiasm and positivity. A phrase I heard a while back "mood hoover" (someone who sucks all the energy out of the place) was applicable with Puel and it seems like MP is not able to put it back in!!! Arrogance and complacency is a toxic mix and this seems to be the club from top to bottom. For the 2nd time in a few days I am praying we get hammered by the opposition. Hopefully Lukaku will find his scoring boots and we lose by 7 or 8. Surely then MP wll go, and Gao will realise that Reed cant make a decent decision anymore. Otherwise, the nightmare scenario becomes more likely with every game....we go down.....the skatecvnts go up.

Pamplemousse Posted 28 December, 2017 Author Posted 28 December, 2017 We’ve got to name our best team. Worry about Palace afterwards.
the saint in winchester Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 We’ve got to name our best team. Worry about Palace afterwards. Exactly. I don't get this 'hold back our best players for the game after next' nonsense. One game at a time. Try to win the next game, then worry about the one after that.

Chewy Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 Forster Pied Hoedt Stephens Targett Romeu Lemina Hojbjerg Boufal Tadic Gabbiadini That could work, though we'd be missing long's pace, ward-prowse's expert dead-ball delivery and redmond's general all-round world class abilities.
View From The Top Posted 28 December, 2017 Posted 28 December, 2017 I'm going so therefore a nailed on defeat.

Shroppie Posted 29 December, 2017 Posted 29 December, 2017 We’ve got to name our best team. Worry about Palace afterwards.And one bit of cheerful news that I'd missed is that Palace have a day less recovery time than us - only 54 hours, and after a tough game (Man C). If ever there will be a case for a high tempo game with as much pace and attacking intent as possible, it'll be the Palace game. As for United, park the bus and hope.

trousers Posted 29 December, 2017 Posted 29 December, 2017 I know this has probably been asked hundreds of times before but I can't be arsed to search back through the forum to find out (Honesty is sometimes the best policy....!) What are the best pubs for away fans, both in the city centre during the afternoon and closer to the stadium nearer match time? Cheers!

Nothing at all near the ground, huge range and choice in town though.
Forester Posted 29 December, 2017 Posted 29 December, 2017 As has been picked up on earlier, Palace match is a great opportunity as it is their third game in five days. Last year it was our misfortune to have the worst Xmas schedule, yet another thing that made it a weird season upon which to make any judgements. So would pick a team for this with an eye to the Palace game: 3-5-2 with Forster, Stephens, Hoedt, Yoshida, McQueen, Pied, Hojberg, Davis, JWP, Sims, Tadic
Micky Posted 29 December, 2017 Posted 29 December, 2017 I reckon we'll get something there, it's called 'a hiding ' unfortunately. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk
captainchris Posted 29 December, 2017 Posted 29 December, 2017 Can’t wait for next bizarre team rotation/selection and Tadic on the Right and the obligatory Redmond on left who can’t even stand on his left foot let alone kick with it. Oh but he will be told to cut in won’t he - almost forgot!

East Kent Saint Posted 29 December, 2017 Posted 29 December, 2017 Total humiliation coming up I fear , hat tricks for a few of Utd's misfiring semi failures !!!
Chewy Posted 29 December, 2017 Posted 29 December, 2017 Look, we're going to get slaughtered anyway, so rest lemina who is still injured, spare Stephens the pleasure of being on the end of a mauling (his confidence no doubt dented already by Spurs) and try sims out wide right - can't do any worse, can he?
aintforever Posted 29 December, 2017 Posted 29 December, 2017 We should rest most of team for Palace IMO, try and grind out a narrow defeat at Old Trafford.

Manuel Posted 29 December, 2017 Posted 29 December, 2017 If we played like we did against City and Arsenal we might get something, but we don't have the players available that we did then. Maybe Boufal might get one, otherwise I can see a clean sheet for them plus however many they head in.
Rut Posted 30 December, 2017 Posted 30 December, 2017 When did non Man Utd & non Man City fans start blindly calling them 'United' & 'City'? Does my head in. Man Utd 1 Saints 3. They ain't that good. We ain't that bad.
DT Posted 30 December, 2017 Posted 30 December, 2017 Watch Forster not jump, move, command his area or save any footballs. 3-0 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
vectraman Posted 30 December, 2017 Posted 30 December, 2017 2-0 to them. We will park the bus, but not quite between the white lines, thus allowing a couple of close range defensive muck up type goals. Pellegrino will tell us we played well (but still lost), and so it will continue....
suewhistle Posted 30 December, 2017 Posted 30 December, 2017 It's only just this morning that I've noticed it's a 5.30 KO. S0d, means I have to endure it on the telly down the pub.

Badger Posted 30 December, 2017 Posted 30 December, 2017 When did non Man Utd & non Man City fans start blindly calling them 'United' & 'City'? Does my head in. Man Utd 1 Saints 3. They ain't that good. We ain't that bad. 1)Possibly as long ago as the 1960's. 2)Admire your optimism, but don't necessarily share your summary of the situation. No, they're not that good, although we have it in ourselves to make them look worldbeaters; unfortunately we can just be bad in key areas- defence, in goal especially, and in front of their goal (take a bow Shane Long & Redmond). Hoping for an upset, but not banking on it.
5string Posted 30 December, 2017 Posted 30 December, 2017 Put VvD in the starting line up. Give Man Utd a 'go' at him before his great move to the dark side.
Golactico Posted 30 December, 2017 Posted 30 December, 2017 Forster apparently dropped according to Talksport.
Chewy Posted 30 December, 2017 Posted 30 December, 2017 Wow, that's interesting! I mean, can't say it's not deserved but I am surprised. Hopefully it means we are after an upgrade this transfer window?
Saint Albert Posted 30 December, 2017 Posted 30 December, 2017 Put VvD in the starting line up. Give Man Utd a 'go' at him before his great move to the dark side. He’s in Liverpool today enjoying a pre-game tour of Anfield. Wouldn’t surprise me if they introduce him to the supporters before the game.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 30 December, 2017 Posted 30 December, 2017 Forster might be dropped. *Crosses everything* Now wait for McCarthy to make a howler in the first 10 minutes.
Bridge Posted 30 December, 2017 Posted 30 December, 2017 Forster apparently dropped according to Talksport. Hope this is true....Forster has been shocking this season...So much so that England have dropped him. Says it all really.
Pamplemousse Posted 30 December, 2017 Author Posted 30 December, 2017 I won’t believe it until SFC TID confirms it
