Saint Garrett Posted 18 May, 2021 Share Posted 18 May, 2021 Horrible place for us, and expect it to be even harder this year. Antonio will turn into Ronaldo for the day, and bully our defence as per normal. I’d probably stick Forster back in and maybe swap Bednarek in for Stephens. Get Romeu in if fit. Hopefully we can get the front two on the pitch together for most of the game. Both much better when they both play.

Micky Posted 18 May, 2021 Share Posted 18 May, 2021 It'll be another shit show where we flatter to deceive, we'll huff and puff without any real intent. They have quality, pace and power which will be far too much for us. I'd snap your hand off for a draw but unless that's a nil nil, highly unlikely to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danjosaint Posted 18 May, 2021 Share Posted 18 May, 2021 Just want the season to end, had a f*****g gut full of these spineless wet fannies, Ralph needs to reinvigour himself and after 10 games nothings changed then he needs to go 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanimal Posted 18 May, 2021 Share Posted 18 May, 2021 Well hopefully after a half each separate tonight Adams and Ings will start and we will give them a game in the first hour at least thereafter well hard to tell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 18 May, 2021 Share Posted 18 May, 2021 Let's be honest , if West Ham need the points on Sunday they'll get them, we're the perfect opponents, won't want to spoil their European qualification party. Now foreign holidays are permitted most of our team will be thinking of the beach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 18 May, 2021 Share Posted 18 May, 2021 12th up for grabs as it stands, 17th more likely. We'll know where we stand after the rest of the games this midweek. After Brighton's impressive win today they are in catching distance of us, as will Newcastle be if they win tomorrow. I feel we will end up closer to 17th, as I can't see us getting anything from West Ham. The extra prize money would be nice though, I just can't see us getting it after today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nta786 Posted 19 May, 2021 Share Posted 19 May, 2021 Yep WHU to win 2-0 or 3-0 is my prediction too. Antonio will most likely score A slightly crap way to end the season but there we are. However - on a different note - if by chance we do win next week that takes us to 46 points (same as Puel’s) and 1 more win than that season too. Slight food for thought that’s all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok make that 16th as the lowest we can finish. Burnley can't catch us now. However looking at the fixtures, Wolves could easily lose against United, Brighton will probably lose against Arsenal (though admittedly both are Jekyll and Hyde sides), Newcastle have a tough away fixture at Fulham and Palace will probably lose against Liverpool. 12th isn't beyond the realms of possibility if we can miraculously find a win which would polish the turd of this calendar year. Even a point and we finish potentially 13th. As long as Brighton and Newcastle lose (and it's very possible unless Willock has a say in things) then 14th should be the lowest we go. Crap but not as crap as it could be. West Ham have something to play for though so it will be tough. It'd be sweet to get one over on the Hammers though and if Ings feels this is his last appearance for us, maybe he'll be hungry for a goal or two.

hasper57saint Posted 20 May, 2021 Share Posted 20 May, 2021 In my humble opinion this match is an irrelevance. Nothing to play for except pride and we all know what happens.A fall! Some of our overpaid underperforming ‘players’ , sorry, posers, should be ashamed of themselves. Ralph has to take the final responsibility. Those that should be leaving are almost of no value. To build a new, and ambitious and dedicated squad we need to spend but I can’t see Goa et al digging into their empty pockets. We need change but only see reverse. I am being realistic rather than negative. As a Saint for almost 65 years l think I have seen enough these past three seasons to convince me all is not well at SFC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
