Saints 3 - Arsenal 2 - I should start threads more often

[Charlie Wayman]

Upto 17th on goal difference too

 

You forgot to tell us how many games it has been since we beat a top six team.

 

I make that 0

Anyone got a link for the match of the day highlights?

They won't be up on i-player till tomorrow morning

It's the passion for me that makes the difference - you saw it after the game.

 

Was that you then? I thought it was Yoshida he was cuddling.

If anyone wants to re live the whole game, I haven't needed to do that for a while!, see this link

Anyone see that sprint from Austin for his goal? Started at the halfway line

 

I noticed that in the highlights. Got the motor running there!

[Micky]

People seem not to have noticed we were without Bertrand, Cedric and Lemina. Or maybe that doesn't affect us?

Great start for Ralph. Given we did it without Cedric, Ryan and Mario, who whether you rate them or not, are big players for us is very impressive. Giving Johnson a little taste as well is a good sign of things to come. Looking forward to going to Huddersfield next week now.

As some one who was stuck on a plane during the game I've just been looking for a good article on the pressing we used and this article is actually really good explanation of pressing.

 

Will also post it under Ralph thread as well

When he came on I thought he had lost a bit of timber this week and looked sharp! I swear after the game he waved his arms as if to say the keeper flapped before his goal!!!

I also thought that he was slimmer than he has been.

When the players came over to the Northam after the game, Austin tapped his stomach a couple of times as if to acknoweldge this.

Saints used to put up on their Facebook the goals when we win with Solent commentary. Do they still do this? When we win I just love watching it all from all different angles with all different commentaries.

It's on the main website, you have to register/sign in but it's a pain free process.

As many of us said during Hughes' reign, the bizarre thing was not that Austin played, it was that he started. He isn't fit so runs out of energy and any meaningful contribution after 15-20 minutes. So why not bring him on for the final period of the game when he can run about and the defenders are tiring?

 

Comes on against Spurs near the end - looks lively, gets chances, scores.

Starts against Cardiff - looks ok for the first 10 minutes but spends the rest of the game pretending to be a footballer before being subbed.

Comes on against Arsenal near the end - scores the winning goal.

 

Some things are quite straightforward. Incredible that Hughes never got it.

Not sure if it has been said....

He's looked slim for weeks, it didn't happen just because of one week of training with Ralph ffs.

[Whitey Grandad]

I'd just like to add that Tony Cascarino's team of the week in The Times includes both Ings and Valery.
