Not keen on this commentary team on sky at all, particularly the co-commentator

Really, I like Goodman’s input

[Saint NL]

Alcarez is a bit of a loose cannon isn't he? 🤣

[obelisk]

Another Saints corner comes to nothing. Yellow for Alcarez.

[verlaine1979]

Almiron played about 3 one-twos building that move up the right before Willock blazed over. Could we try, y'know, passing and moving it like that once or twice, maybe?

[OttawaSaint]

Corner, but why back to Baz? So negative a pass to JWP was on. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

A corner routine right up there with Salisu throw ins. >sigh<

[saintscottofthenortham]

What a mess we've made of that last two minutes. Complete farce of a corner routine, to then play it all the way back to Bazunu via Diallo and KWP, for a hoof, lost ball then Alcaraz booking. All that from getting a corner. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Alcaraz got booked for the foul, but Bruno tried to swat him in the face often enough. Cheating git.

[harvey]

What an absolute waste of a corner!!!

[OttawaSaint]

We look rubbish.

[Cascadia Saint]

Bruno was trying to Escape from Alacaraz.

 

He didn't. Yellow card.

[Toussaint]

I am not a Diallo fan, just for the record 

[Saint NL]

Disallowed.

 

Wake up ffs

[OttawaSaint]

FFS! Fucking weak!

EDIT: disallowed

Referee disallows goal for Newcastle.

[saintscottofthenortham]

Newcastle goal disallowed... But it is coming. We are absolutely shocking here.

[Toussaint]

Fuck off coonties

[adrian lord]

I think that’s a massive let-off

[Archers Road Stand]

Lyanco..... woeful and lucky. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Jeez. Baz is so flappy.

[obelisk]

This is shocking stuff from Saints. Still 0-0 though.

[DrSuess1979]

Lucky to get away with that one

We are rubbish. Hth.

Got a bit lucky that was disallowed, but Newcastle are really knocking on the door.

They are a very good side, we are not a very good side.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

4 of them lining up to put that in.

[SNSUN]

So far I like what I see of Alcarez, just needs to keep his head. Mara has something about him too. I'm looking to see more of Orsic though. 

 

My Sky is now 5 minutes behind (I was making dinner) and the score updates are giving me heart attacks.

[CB Fry]

VAR against us yet again every time FFS. Oh.

[OttawaSaint]

Hmm. Add that to the lucky decisions for us. I'm sure one day it'll all even out, we're due about 20 decisions...

[Saint NL]

I'm amazed that Eddie Howe hasn't told his players to just shoot from anywhere. Bazunu is out of sorts again.

 

Nice shot from Alcarez

He doesn’t seem to have any positive attributes whatsoever. Get Lavia on for him. 

[Saint86]

Thoughts on orsic in his games so far? Maybe he need to adjust to the prem, but he needs to get himself more involved, sharper, and more aggressive for me. 

[obelisk]

Alcaraz takes a shot. Corner!

[Yorkshire Saint]

I will take penalties now.

[adrian lord]

Alcatraz with an evil swerve shot there 

[Nieldy]

Pope might as well bring a deck chair out for the second half

[Tauro]

We are absolutely diabolical. Such a turgid, slow, aimless and performance. The team is so disjointed. 

 

 

It's ok though, we can bring Adam Armstrong on, the dynamo he is!

[Mr X]

Definitely got out of jail there! We've not been great in the final third, hardly tested their keeper at all 

[The Kraken]

We’re getting torn to shreds here and doing fuck all up the other end. Djenepo plays in clown shoes, Orsic is struggling big time, Mara not exactly standing out. Finally a shot on goal from Alcatraz.

[OttawaSaint]

That parry by Baz was all you need to know about him. He's fucking putrid!

We are winning 3 - 0, Lyanco all 3

It’s a conspiracy.

Awful so far. Can see why we haven't seen him thus far.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

JWP rallying the troops. Some sloppy passing. the direct from deep passes giving possession away.

 

But a shot! from us!... checks replay to make sure it was from us and not a weird pass back... yes! Alacaraz! 🙂

Not sure you will be registered in time to play...or allowed by the club...worth a try though.

[Saint NL]

There is so much space down their right side. NJ needs to address that asap

[Holmes_and_Watson]

A moment of momentum after that shot...cue Diallo misplaced pass... normal service resumes. >sigh<

[stknowle]

Gotta agree with all the we look shite posts. It's all so 1 dimensional and we are very much 2nd best.

[harvey]

Diallo fucks up again!
