Vancouver Saint Posted 19 January, 2022 Share Posted 19 January, 2022 Always have hope... it's 11 v 11 (well at least at the beginning for us)...if we can step it up against the bigger clubs...and them in particular as we've done in the past...we could get something out of the game. Man City should have lost to Arsenal and were super-lucky to win that. If they have a flat day and we play out of our skins and don't make any defensive errors...okay, okay, I heard myself say that - better stop here! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint86 Posted 20 January, 2022 Share Posted 20 January, 2022 (edited) Don't think we should be afraid of city. We've shown in the past that we are more than capable of taking points of them, and we were robbed at the etihad earlier this season. Fancy that with a rocking St Mary's and a little bit of luck, we might have a Saints win incoming. At the very least I don't think we are going to lose.

Yeah agree, I never thought I'd see a normal general admission match ticket at Saints selling for £89, just seems like crazy money, but maybe it's all relative, the 'Saints Bar' hospitality package doesn't give you much more and that's £270 per person for.this game, not surprisingly plenty of those still available, it's why we rarely ever see a full attendance anymore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long have they been working on that stretch of road anyway? Five years? More? And the latest is that they are going to scrap "smart" motorways anyway, so perhaps they'll spend the same amount of time turning it back! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with all this testing is that you can’t get excited about going or look forward to the trip until you’re actually there. We’ve just come back from a two week trip to Barbados which involved a one week cruise. We each had five separate tests. A PCR to get into Barbados, a PCR two days before the cruise, an LF just before boarding, an LF on disembarking, another PCR on landing at Heathrow. I took a gamble by going to the Tottenham game but I wore a mask all the way through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 22 January, 2022 Share Posted 22 January, 2022 Anyway.....back to the City game. Am feeling a bit overwhelmed by all those "nice " comments from Pep about how good WE are. He certainly rates our captain ...(so all those anti-Prowse critics who pop up here periodically need to stand in the other queue). All those " so-called " pundits and ex-players who are raving about JWP, and want him to join Liverpool, WHam, Villa etc, etc, should realise that having Prowsey has been the key to whatever type of success we have had recently, and he's unlikely to move anywhere and given such a situation, our new owner would certainly be willing to match " any offer from elsewhere" in order to keep Prowsey on board. So ..we need another " Prowsey special " to give Pep a good excuse for losing his 12 match winning streak, and a meaningful goal from Adam Armstrong so that .... (as with Che Adams' debut effort v. City a while back), Adam A. can get some goals under his belt and gain more confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too but a two week trip to Barbados wouldn't be one of them. Right now I'd settle for a match day trip to St Mary's with zero risk of catching Covid and ending up on a ventilator. Believe it or not I am really looking forward to next Sunday when the kids play at the stadium and I'll get down there for the first time since this all began. That apart, there seems to me to be very little prospect of Saints getting anything against City today. I have a feeling that it will be 'hide behind the sofa' time at 5.30pm. Just keep the goals against down lads, could be important later in the season. Edited 22 January, 2022 by Charlie Wayman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
