We've look bright today. As usual we can only raise ourselves for the bigger teams whilst going down weakly to our relegation rivals.

Because better teams leave space to play behind them. Our fellow shite teams don’t and know we can’t break them down. Hence losing 1-0 so often. We are not good enough and will go down without a whimper. Sadly ☹️

[Wsaint]

Whos mr Saint? Always wondered 😂

[Guest]

Says it all that half. Create a couple of half chances, nip up the other end, score against us.

Sums up the season really and how the lack of a clinical striker and GK have killed the season.

[bangkoksaint]

So brighter equates to not really laying a glove on City? Shows how desperately poor we are 

[OttawaSaint]

No use to us a 1-0 loss to city. Where was this desire vs WHU, Leeds etc. 

 

[Edmonton Saint]

Mainland Niles is really a poor excuse of a footballer.

Yes. But could be applicable to any of our players this season.

[BotleySaint]

Ref seems to have switched off.

Did you have difficulty in understanding the question?

[obelisk]

Saints arrive in the City penalty area seemingly without any confidence that they might score. Attack fizzles out.

I remember when Spurs went one up in the last game all the losers came out with this, how did that work out?

Yes, but in the grand scheme of things it did nothing for our league position and given last weekends performance almost makes that comeback redundant.

Yes cos Spurs = City eh?

[bangkoksaint]

Selles is a fraud. Should, like Jones, never have been given the opportunity 

[Edmonton Saint]

What in the continual fuck do successive managers see in Elyounoussi . I just don’t get it . Too slow, can’t pass, can’t shoot . Wasn’t good enough for us two years ago so we loaned him to Celtic .. it’s a mystery .

[obelisk]

2-0

This comeback is going to be epic...

[obelisk]

Looks well onside.

[BotleySaint]

How is that even being checked? Clearly onside.

It's all about when he doesn't have the ball. He is world class out of possession.

[Guest]

That’s me done. See ya next week lads for the next shitshow. 😅

We look extremely limited.

The only difference today is that we as fans are so much more forgiving when we are playing against a top side like City.

[obelisk]

Good run by KWP but forgot to shoot.

[OttawaSaint]

We're so bereft of any quality whatsoever. Absolute joke in the final 3rd, it's like there's no oxygen there.

[BotleySaint]

4 players back and we contrive to just give it back to them. No one wants the ball. 

[obelisk]

City using their wide men to pass Saints to death now.

Agree. Utter dogshit. And we're starting with him, Walcott and Bednarek - that in itself explains our league position

When we last got relegated we had Crouch and Camara who at least could stick the ball in the net. This years crop is terrible . Don’t look like scoring week after week, game after game

[BotleySaint]

Mara and Djenepo coming on. They helped us beat them last time so... 

[Crab Lungs]

This is vile.

[obelisk]

They're toying with us now. 3-0.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

What the fuck was that defending? 

[Chez]

Some tired legs, so space opening up.  More goals likely.

[OttawaSaint]

Oh fuck off Haaland. Cunt!

[miserableoldgit]

I don't normally swear on forums but this is fucking embarrassing.... 

[BotleySaint]

Most dangerous player on the pitch and left totally unmarked. This is turning into what we all feared. More goals to come.

[OttawaSaint]

Don't worry everyone forum expert @cloggy saintsays it'll be 3-3 like vs Spurs!

[Holmes_and_Watson]

oh dear. Nice finish, but allowed so, so much room for the shot.

[Viking Saint]

Men against boys unfortunately 

[Crab Lungs]

Best part about this evening has been Alan Smith saying Namaste.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Bednarek done for the pass, everyone else drawn in towards the ball, leaving the lethal striker unmarked. I'm glad Selles is here to make us more solid defensively, since we've no attack. >sigh<

[Edmonton Saint]

Every attack coming down Maitland-Niles side and he’s nowhere to be seen . Done with these managers trying to be clever and picking these hopeless pricks week after week 

[obelisk]

Mara !!

[Suhari]

Goal!

[Viking Saint]

The comebacks on!!

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Just shows you what a joke the Premier League has become. City 30 odd years ago were in the old third division, massive money and it all changes.

[BotleySaint]

Yay. Too little too late but great to have a goal scored for once. 

[stknowle]

Djenepo slalaming through like Franz Klammer on acid.

[obelisk]

Penalty to City
