Saints foreva Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 That is an amazing win. Well done boys. Up the ****ing Saints.
Pamplemousse Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woooohoooo, Spurs fans at work are in trouble this week, hahahahaha
trousers Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 I missed the first half. I assume the match thread will make amusing reading courtesy of the usual suspects...? Great win. COYR!!!
DT Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 amazing result. well done Saints. Stephens absence again...coincidence?
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 Brilliant 2nd half performance and JWP take a bow sir....
Sheaf Saint Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 Incredible comeback. Should stick Valery and JWP up front for the next game!
vectraman Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 Get in there Saints you surprise merchants!!!! Who would have predicted that result at half time? Big win Saints - brilliant second half turnaround.
CJ_SAINT Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 Brilliant result! Get in boys COYR!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

St Chalet Posted 9 March, 2019 Author Posted 9 March, 2019 I missed the first half. I assume the match thread will make amusing reading courtesy of the usual suspects...? Great win. COYR!!! The Match Thread is could be moved to Golden Posts, if you'd have watched the first half you might not have watched the second!
Dr. Kucho Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 Well this is just typical. I watch the first half and we are rubbish, start watching the second half and we keep missing good chances. I start noticing I am going all ‘Alpine/Glasgow’ and decide to go out and walk the dog. Come back and just see the replay of JWP’s free kick going in... So relieved and happy now.
DT Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 thats how you sing oh when the saints you north london muppets
skintsaint Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 Great turn around, great subs, great team effort!! Was getting tons of **** from Spurs fans in that first half...all gone quiet now!!! Oh...and yes I was wrong!
Sheaf Saint Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 We leapfrog Burnley, who are away at Liverpool tomorrow.
CB Fry Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 I missed the first half. I assume the match thread will make amusing reading courtesy of the usual suspects...? Great win. COYR!!!Alpine worked his magic yet again.
Colinjb Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 First home win v Spurs in 14 years, only 4 days away from it being to the day. That was a lucky win after Spurs spurned chances and we took our one. This was so much better.
OttawaSaint Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 Brilliant 2nd half performance and JWP take a bow sir.... JWP, League one standard - forum experts
Convict Colony Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 had a sleep during the 1st half so glad I only watched the 2nd
BotleySaint Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 Astonishing win. What a second half performance that was!
stknowle Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 WHAT A ****ING TURNAROUND. Incredible, we looked utterly ****e and clueless for the entire first half then came out like a totally different side. Sims was ****ing brilliant, bemusing he couldn't get a game for Reading.
qwertyell Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 WTF!!!!!!!!!!???? Amazing turnaround. We were so bad in that first half it was unreal. Football - bloody hell! Where's Josh Sims been hiding while we've been wasting time on that useless nomark Elyounoussi? Did more in five minutes than our major signing has managed in nine months. Wow! Can't believe it. Credit to the manager for changing things at h/t, but it shouldn't have come to that in the first place. White knuckle stuff. Valery was a disaster in possession all day, but hey, a poaching full back - we've invented a new position. "Set piece expert" Prowse is actually getting quite good at them now... F-ing hell, that was VITAL. We can hopefully enjoy the next three weeks relatively stress free - until the next time. We're not doing it easy. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk
saintquin Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 When was the last time we came from behind to beat a team in the top 3? Great result Saints and can't wait tomorrow when I'll see a couple of Spurs mates!
Vienna07 Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 Glad for Ralph, one of my sons played (Ingolstadt) for him.
Baird of the land Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 For years when jwp was over free kicks there was much hype little end product. Now he looks a weapon. On top of that he’s got a good aggressiveness now. Surely an England cap awaits. Turning down watford in the summer looks wise now. Sims, makes you wonder why he couldn’t buy a game at reading or since he’s been back. Also amusing how getting rid of long sparked our goals. That header of his at start of second half was atrocious. 2 red cards that should have been given and would have been given if the players in question weren’t from teams in the top 4.
Donatello Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 Feel for Cardiff.....not (is a bit of a sicker for them though)
SNSUN Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 What a ****ing massive win. Same scorers as Old Trafford too. Sounds like Sims changed the game - can people now see itwas the Reading regime the reason that his loan spell was unimpressive, not his talent. He's more effective than Moi. Great subs, great management. With Newcastle and Cardiff also winning, that drags everyone above us back into it, with Huddersfield and Fulham gone, Burnley will be nervous. I wasn't going to go out tonight, I might now!
Shanghai Saint Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 Glad for Ralph, one of my sons played (Ingolstadt) for him. Welcome Vienna !!
saint lard Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 That is quite incredible. I still can’t believe that. It’s just not like saints. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
St Chalet Posted 9 March, 2019 Author Posted 9 March, 2019 I've added a poll. Everyone played their part second half, but Sims changed the game for me. Another assured performance by JWP and Gunn as well.
obelisk Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 Needed to win that given other results. Great second half that should offer encouragement for the run in.
hypochondriac Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 Play sums every week please. Absolutely insane that he's been farmed out on loan rather than playing. Many people have been desperate for him to get some game time and he was written off as not good enough by the usual suspects.
sifter Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 We weren't terrible in the first half but some bold substitutions at half time and we found an extra gear for the entire half for sure. Austin and Hojberg weren't at their best. Spurs couldn't handle Simms and Valery. Not that Simms was that effective, but he was a willing runner and allowed Valery to have much more space than he should have been allowed. Redmond a handful. As was Armstrong when he came on. Ward Prowse goalscoring record makes him the first name on the team sheet. I am concerned that our forwards aren't scoring though - its going to hurt us sooner or later and we need Ings back before that day comes. In the meantime, a great team performance and resolute defending with a commanding goalkeeper saw us home. Great result.
redkeith Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 As said above, great subs. I was surprised that it took Sims so many games to get on the bench after his brace in the U23's' It's not so much the goals it was more that his movement was so good, always looking to get behind the defence. Last season he was hugging the touchline, and getting shoved out of play when he tried to beat his man, As for JWP, Ralph has transformed him. One of the first names on the teamsheet now, and I think Romeu could be the one to drop out when Lemina comes back. Last 10 would have been a lot more comfortable if Kevin No=Friend-of-Saints had given to obvious straight reds. Well done all !
austsaint Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 Is JAMES WARD PROWSE officialy a free kick specialist now? You would have to say he is - a beautifully taken strike. Thought Ralph's half-time decision to belatedly give Josh Sims his chance turned the game - his movement, touch and runs turned Spurs around, brought Redmond into the game and took the pressure off our CBs. Sims has to stay in the squad - Ings, Redmond, Sims with cameos from Armstrong is the attack which can keep us up - not Austin and Long. Sensational comeback - great to watch that second half.
farawaysaint Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 JWP has gone from the whipping boy to superstar in no time. Amazing, hope he stays much longer.
striker Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 I don't know if it was luck or by design but Ralph putting in a lot of pace in the 2nd half, when Spurs were tiring due to playing mid-week, was brilliant.
Batman Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 That reminded of the game we came back to beat Liverpool 3-2 useless, terrible in the first half. Brilliant in the 2nd how they never got a player sent off is beyond me. No wonder we are getting VAR, the refs are consistently getting big calls wrong. More worryingly, in decisions that should not need a video replay. great result and JwP MoM for me.

Sheaf Saint Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 People are saying they should have had two red cards. The foul on Sims was one - what was the other? Was it the little skirmish between Redmond and Sissoko? I didn't see that properly as I was a bit distracted.
SaintTex Posted 9 March, 2019 Posted 9 March, 2019 This. Crucial win. And remaining fixtures favor Saints Cardiff's remaining 8 fixtures are brutal (Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City, Man U) Burnley's remaining 9 fixtures included (Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal) Southampton (only one Top 6 club in remaining 8 fixtures, Liverpool at home)

Was it the little skirmish between Redmond and Sissoko? I didn't see that properly as I was a bit distracted. Yep, Sissoko shoves his forehead into Redmonds face and pushes him back with it. Clear as day a red, i've seen red cards given for subtler movements.
