Spurs 2-1 Saints - Game thread

[AlexLaw76]

Can't wait to tune in for more of the same.

More 442, more negative football, more delusions from the manager.

At least Kane will be out (so I read).

Why did you bin off your Batman tag pal?

[Pilchards]

Fuck off those that don’t want to sign new contracts and get some players on that want to play for the club.

At the moment I’ve only got 4 players starting against Spurs on Weds.

 

Oh yes that Son is going to get a hatrick.

[Chapel End]

Looking forward to it

😫

[S-Clarke]

We'll probably win and look a lot better than we did today, and that would sum it up.

Battle for 12th is on.

[Teddeer]

Like the players I couldn't give a shit about this match. Roll on the official end of the season.

[waylander]

Are they expected to rest players ahead of the Carabao Cup Final?

Would it make any difference to the result if they did?

[Sideways Jim]

Forster

KWP Vestergaard Salisu Bertrand 

Jankewitz JWP 

Redmond Armstrong 

Adams Ings

 

Meh..... 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

I'd quite happily like to see Bertrand not play again this season. Sadly, through lack of other viable options, that isn't going to happen

[Harry_SFC]

Forster; KWP, Vestergaard, Salisu, Bertrand; Jankewitz, JWP, Tella, Armstrong; Adams, Ings. 

Subs: McCarthy, Bednarek, Stephens, Ferry, Diallo, Djenepo, Minamino, Walcott, Redmond.

Bednarek needs a game or two away from the starting 11 and Diallo has been very poor lately. I'd also bring Adams back in for Redmond who has reverted back to his usual self. 

 

[Saint Billy]

Crystal ball not needed again.

[washsaint]

Just like the players, couldn't give a toss and no interest in the rest of the season

[nta786]

Forster

KWP Salisu Vestegaard Bertrand

JWP Diallo

Armstrong Minamino

Adams Ings 

Subs- Redmond, Djenepo and Walcott to try and change things for us

I wouldn’t be opposed to Jankewitz starting this one to be fair, but only if he is in our plans for next season. 

[OttawaSaint]

Jesus, there’s more to come? Just about had my fill of these gutless passengers. 

I’ll just look at them scoring worldies and having a giggle in training...

[skintsaint]

our season :

 

[StrangelyBrown]

The right thing to do would be to leave out those who can't be arsed because they're going to leave and to give game time to those who will be here next season - even if it means us not picking up another point.

I'm fully expecting more of the same though and to be honest I'm not sure I can watch those same players go through the motions again.

[skintsaint]

What will probably happen is a swashbuckling energetic attacking display and a 3 nil win....just to really fuck us off over yesterdays result.

[JRM]

Really can't see the players being up for this, they drifted through a semi final without laying a glove on Leicester, we've now got to play Super league Spurs who despite struggling recently will have too much for us.

Depressing back to reality cloudy Monday morning 

[Jeremy]

Agree with these sentiments.  Think I'll pack it in and look forward to the NZ-England cricket series coming up.  This post will probably be deleted by the mods for being in the wrong place but what the hell.

That pretty much sums up my view. Only Armstrong seemed to be trying yesterday. Play the peripheral players, as we won't be picking up any points for a while.

wowser. wonder if he objected to super league

Might they come in for Ralph, in time? Long shot I know

Apparently refused too take players into training this morning as protest against clubs super League admission 👀

If that is true then he earns some additional respect from me. I'd love if it this were the case. Love it.

[whelk]

Just before the final. Odd and fair play if it was him with principled move but suspect Levy fed up with dire performance and alienating Bale and Alli

[DT]

They will have the post-Mourinho bounce now though. Gulp.

He's not stupid. Knew it was a good out, and paints him as a picture of sainthood. Gets paid off big bucks every two years. It's his MO

Not a snowball's chance in hell.

[BallBoy]

Not really on topic but I am delighted he is gone (again). He is an odious character who has to belittle and punish others in order to support his own ego. West Ham (with their odious owners) would deserve him.

[OldNick]

Jose is not as bad as people paint him.

I like Ralph but he has alienated players as well, Jose is a serial winner, Spurs were never the correct club for him.

It would be good if he has made a stand, but Levy and co dont care what he or anybody else think.

I reckon he was nervous about facing an on-fire Southampton attack and jumped before he was pushed.

To be honest they could not train before the game and still make easy work of us at the moment.

Corrected it for you. He's a busted flush. His return to Chelsea, his tenure at Man Utd and now his time at Spurs have all been pretty average at best.

Eh? Didn't he win the league at Chelsea?  Tough crowd on here if that is under the pretty average category 😄

That may be the case but Imo he wasnt given the time or players to make the move upwards. Pogba really made it difficult and I agree he falls out with good players. To be fair though you need the players to pull with you. Sadly there are a lot of 'Me' men out there instead of team men and the new generation coming through must be a nightmare to deal with.

Do you want them to now then? 🙄

You were panicking about them taking him a while ago. 😫

Hmmm. Good point tbh. I think I didn't then, but now wouldn't be absolutely devastated. We'd get compensation, and I'm not convinced he is actually all that for a club with our resources (ie none).

Not true apparently, can't see why a character like Mourinho would be against it.

[Fan The Flames]

The way the Mourinho tenure has played was so predictable to even an average football fan. So why stake so much cash on a busted flush, Spurs must have been stupid or desperate.

[Lord Duckhunter]

Let’s hope Ryan Mason doesn’t give Ralph a coaching lesson like Jose did earlier in the season. One of the most inept, tactility naive defensive performances I’ve ever seen. No Kane, no Jose, a cup final Sunday, surely even we can give it a go now. 

[Sarisbury Saint]

I’ve heard  Jose wanted to rearrange training for Wednesday evening .

[trousers]

Mourinho gone? All set up nicely for a Dele Alli hattrick then...

Nope.  We'll win 0-1.  Bank on it.

[igsey]

Surely there has to be some response from yesterday, drop the ones that had bad games and give others a chance to fight for their places next season. Bednarek, Diallo, Forster, Redmond, arguably Ings should be benched, Bertrand too if we can find another LB from somewhere in the academy.
