LiberalCommunist Posted 15 May, 2022 Share Posted 15 May, 2022 Very little to be proud of. Getting to 40 points and looking so incompetent that we still watch the teams below us. I have very little to be proud about as a Saints fan this term. Our wins over whu and spuds have been tarnished by countless weekends of trash. Ralph needs to have a long look in the mirror. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Who? Posted 15 May, 2022 Share Posted 15 May, 2022 Everton will beat Palace and lose to Arsenal Burnley might get another point, but I cannot see it. Leeds will not get another point. so I think it will all depend if Burnley can get a point out of their last 2 games to overturn Leeds.

HarvSFC Posted 15 May, 2022 Share Posted 15 May, 2022 Another week goes by, another week where you're left wondering why Everton signed Alli, El Ghazi and van de Beek in January. Unfortunately, Leeds will have to beat Brentford due to GD next week and that doesn't look likely, however, another poor transfer window for Everton and they could drop. Can see Pickford, Richarlison and despite reverting back to type Calvert-Lewin pushing for moves this summer, and as we know, Everton aren't very good at spending money.

Nordic Saint Posted 15 May, 2022 Share Posted 15 May, 2022 Good game at the Silverlake today: Eastleigh 4-4 Grimsby. Attendance: 3,499 incl. >500 Grimsby fans. Grimsby were leading 2-0 at half-time and Eastleigh scored the final goal in the 90th minute. Ex-Saint Jake Hesketh scored a good goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably compare the women's game to Formula E at the moment, early days for both sports and there will be similar levels of discussion (and relative lack of speed...).

Holmes_and_Watson Posted 16 May, 2022 Share Posted 16 May, 2022 It was a really enjoyable game. I was just about to shout at the screen when Kerr didn't pass it, for it to deflect and go in. Cuthbert's goal was a belter, and interesting to watch two top teams with different playing styles. City looked a lot more fluid than they were earlier in the season, when they could still call on internationals, but had lots of injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not care a shit if you or anyone else watch it at all. There was a game on, a cup final so mentioned it. it is quite nice to watch a Saints team progressing and winning games, but as I point out all the time, it’s not for all and I get that, but a lot of the time especially with Saints, supporters might not even know that things are happening like the playoff final, because it is so badly advertised by the club.

I find motor racing incredible tedious so I don't watch it or read about it even though it's all over tv and the radio. Anyone can do the same with women's football if they wish, which is a lot easier because it isn't all over the media.

People don’t want to come on a thread “other games” and read about it. I wouldn’t post about The Dog & Duck playing the Red lion on it. I guess we’re going to need an “other games male”, “other games female” thread, and probably an “other games other” thread. Far better to stick to the chick thread.

Yeah they will probably nick it and end above Spurs, not that I give a toss either way. But they are not looking like the team of a few weeks back. Strange inconstant season outside the top 2.

Maggie May Posted 17 May, 2022 Share Posted 17 May, 2022 Fair play to Howe. I thought he’d flop but he’s completely rejuvenated Newcastle and I don’t think it’s solely down to splashing a bit of cash. When you look at his career so far, his credentials as a top boss are there for all to see. Various promotions and awards, including the LMA award in 2015. A shrewd appointment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
