Saints v West Ham (A) Match Thread

[Saint Without a Halo]

Embarrassing isn’t it?

 

Disgraceful more like

[S-Clarke]

Another pointless performance from Redmond.

[Vancouver Saint]

Surprisingly calm. Have failed the big test before we even started. Stoke fans must be laughing their heads off at the Hughes effect they predicted. Close to 50 years supporting the Saints. Unbelievable how such incompetent management of the club can kill hope and passion. Years of selling and replacing with lesser players comes home to roost.

 

Always pray for our survival but am now Zen about our inevitable relegation.

 

FA Cup a terrible distraction but we're only one hammering away from being out of that - no doubt our players will turn up for the games that don't count.

[SaltashSaint]

All season, mediocrity has been rewarded. Bar Redmond, who seems to be singled out, players who have been constantly underperforming have been selected week in, week out. The likes of Cedric and Bertrand know they will play every game, so a bad performance doesn't appear to bother them and it certainly doesn't affect their chances of selection. Contrastingly, when players look good and in form, they get dropped from the side. Hojbjerg and Ward-Prowse have been dropped whilst looking good and it all seems just a little ridiculous.

The next Henry

[Pamplemousse]

Long has done OK. I really think him on the right is our best option in that position.

[doddisalegend]

These players can't even manage the simple things like controlling a ball or passing to team mate its a ****ing disgrace.

[cloggy saint]

2 points from safety with a game in hand. I'm not going to start whinging that we're down just yet.

Luckily we have Arsenal and Chelsea up next.

 

It'll take a brave man to see us as anything other than relegation fodder now.

[northam soul]

Is the post game interview that it’s still in our hands and we must stick together blah blah blah

Tossers

True but play like this and we will be

[alpine_saint]

And that's the problem.

 

Sell high (quality), buy low (quality). Was always a recipe for disaster

 

Even worse because Lowe did the same thing, with the same outcome

[Ohio Saint]

Long has done OK. I really think him on the right is our best option in that position.

 

We need someone a lot stronger on the right. Hitler would be good, Lenin on the left. This is no time for messing around.

[OttawaSaint]

Still no response. Weak, gutless, aimless ****s.

[Pamplemousse]

2 points from safety with a game in hand. I'm not going to start whinging that we're down just yet.

 

OK, but we’re going to have to get a win from Arsenal or Chelsea. I’m normally optimistic but I’m struggling to see that happening.

[John Boy Saint]

Another Nice lob from Tadic by the corner flag to Hart!!

[BotleySaint]

15 mins to score 4. Or 1 would be nice. Gotta have a shot first though.

[badgerx16]

There HAS to be someone else at the club who can play right back.

But then what do we do about left back, centre backs, midfield, wide attackers, and strikers ?

[Batman]

Even worse because Lowe did the same thing, with the same outcome

Lowe never did it on the scale we have in the last few years

[Micky]

Can you at least talk about the game for once... leave your obsession for a while

Stop feeding the trolling tw at, he's relishing this situation.

Another pointless performance from Redmond.

 

Wasn't this always going to be the case with him ?

 

Two previous relegations on his CV, and not a regular starter for Norwich, yet Reed splashes £10m on the tw^t, no doubt believing he could turn that into £35m in a couple of years. No, the bloke is sh!t, and has taken a living out of looking promising as a teenager once upon a time at Birmingham.

It might sound silly, but I'd rather play them next than another relegation contender as we can't (or rather, won't) match the sides near the bottom for effort and determination.

Pigs are fed and ready for take off springs to mind

[ooh it's a corner]

need a newcastle winner to keep huddersfield close. They are the only team that I think we could overtake assuming somebody can find the cow's arse and banjo combination......

[Saint Without a Halo]

When i think back to the fight commitment and soul some of our much less talented relegation saving teams put in compared to this bunch of overpaid gutless players

 

Most of them know they will move and still get paid mega bucks so why care?

[Batman]

Not necessarily. Bournemouth, Leicester, Swansea and Everton still to play

No chance against Chelsea with our defence. In either game

[ALWAYS_SFC]

One thing we are good at is giving away fouls...... can`t tackle

[Unbelievable Jeff]

Lowe never did it on the scale we have in the last few years

 

I'll probably get shot for this, but I at least felt that Lowe cared...however misguided he was.

[davefoggy]

we've not managed a single shot on target against an awful West Ham side. Shocking

[Unbelievable Jeff]

Ask and I shall provide...

[Ohio Saint]

On the bright side, total carp like this in the league is actually pretty good FA Cup winning form

[Saints foreva]

One thing we are good at is giving away fouls...... can`t tackle

 

And most of the time the fouls we give away are completely needless.

[badgerx16]

Not necessarily. Bournemouth, Leicester, Swansea and Everton still to play

We started today including West Ham in that list.

[Pamplemousse]

Even under Redknapp we did at times show some fight

[Heisenberg]

OK, but we’re going to have to get a win from Arsenal or Chelsea. I’m normally optimistic but I’m struggling to see that happening.

 

This game will mark almost 2 years since we last beat a top 6 side in the league.

 

Got a funny feeling we will pinch this one*

 

*cheeky insurance bet placed just in case

 

COYS

[Saint Matty 76]

If anyone wants a positive, Huddersfield now losing. Keeps us 3 points behind them with a game in hand (Swansea) and far superior GD. They end the season with Chelsea, Everton, City and Arsenal so it's not quite over yet.

[ooh it's a corner]

Ask and I shall provide...

 

all we need now is three quick Saints goals and we close the gap on hudders........

[John Boy Saint]

Newcastle deliver the goods 1-0

[Maggie May]

Remember everything we achieved post 2009? The JTP, promotions, incredible finishes in PL, incredible players? That’s dead now. Dead. That projetutary path is over. Goodbye PL, hello League 2.

[OttawaSaint]

Hughsie needs to hold up a blank sheet of paper and say, “this is the teamsheet for Arsenal”, you have to earn your way into it during the week. Then ****ing stick to it and put in hard working reserves if need be. Too many of this shower know they can walk into the team with no effort and then walk during the game. Disgraceful.

[Pamplemousse]

0.1/10. Really, really bad effort.

Les cares too.....

Too difficult...

[Vancouver Saint]

Newcastle 1-0 up. Agree keeping Huddersfield close our best bet.

Hahahahah how do you get out of bed in the morning?

[niceandfriendly]

Our players aren't just ****e, they're also stupid. The amount of absolutely needless, pathetic fouls we give away is embarrassing for a professional football team.

[Edmonton Saint]

Boufal has actually done alright since he came on.

[Unbelievable Jeff]

Les cares too.....

I'd like to see a proper investigation into this ****.
