Cracks me up seeing Selles dressed like some Champions League manager.

Probably plays FM23 and doesn't understand why he's won the league on the game but can't get a tune out of the real players.

 

[The Cat]

We've had better chances than Palace who have been quite poor.

Our lack of an actual striker is painful.

Nice run around for the lads. Crystal Palace cruising around. No problem for them today. Looks like we've accepted relegation. 

Expand  

We just don't offer any threat in the final third and every team knows that

Palace fans having a ruck with each other was the most entertaining part of the first half. They were proper going for it for a while.

Expand  

I saw the stewards heading up to something, but couldn't make out what it was. What happened?

[skintsaint]

Decent half but no goal threat at all. Look forward to us folding second half.

[Baird of the land]

Get the Useless Aribo off at HT. Get one of our actual strikers on the pitch.

And remembering a few years ago when it was close to gourmet.

[saintscottofthenortham]

All huff, no puff… again. Totally clueless when we get into the final third.

Aribo showing why he hasn’t been near the squad.

Sulemana doing what he does. Reckless and headless.

Theo and Alcaraz the only positives going forward.

[LeBizzier69]

Watching Lavia is worth the trip. 

[obelisk]

Palace there for the taking which probably means they'll get a late winner.

Ugh. That...hurts...

[Suhari]

Turgid, insipid, weak, dull. 

Going down with a whimper, which is just pathetic.

Selles: make some changes and fucking go for it you clown.

The ladyboys are demanding it.

Really? What has he achieved? He has fucked up literally everything he has tried. Touch of a rapist and a ton of beans for brains.

Expand  

He was decent for the first 15-20 mins but then faded. 

Not sure what to do with him, his main attribute is speed but he's playing deep. Seems like a total waste....

[ally_uk]

What a boring match like watching paint dry.....

Aribo absolute toilet! 

Get Mara or Tall Paul on 

[OttawaSaint]

That first half was typical of the dull, uninspiring, tepid shite we've endured all season. 

I'm barely interested. So sad.

[Mixedkebab]

What a sickening group of players, bar two or three I can’t stand any of them

Only the 2005 group compare in terms of lack of interest and commitment

We're the only premier league club that mistook the gambling ban as actually a ban on playing strikers

[Saint NL]

Aribo is so good, he's going to be man of the match and he's given everyone else a 45 minute head start. 

 

[vectraman]

If we could shoot, we’d be 2/3 up. But we can’t. You can see Palace breezing up the other end and scoring, whilst we huff and puff and achieve nothing. 45 mins to get a win now. Not that the first 45 gave any hint of urgency, need, desire or passion. 
Sigh. 

[saintant]

Woy will unleash his boys second half a bit like last week at Leeds. We needed to score a couple in the first half.

thanks needed it purely for the pop up 

[OttawaSaint]

Bournemouth have equalized at Spurs. Not that it matters.

[Saint_clark]

Mara on for Aribo please. Quite a bit of decent movement up front from what I saw, I just trust Mara more than the others to hit the net.

Not sure why they were fighting but there's a load of lads in black under the scoreboard at the back who were all kicking off with each other. 

I reckon it's all the lads who were drinking in the park opposite Yates's earlier. 

[hypochondriac]

We need to do something to try to win this game. If Selles does nothing except make a couple of changes on 60 minutes and the game ends with a draw or narrow loss it will be soul destroying. Rip up the playbook and just go balls out. 

[AlexLaw76]

Lots of crosses into the box 🙃

[obelisk]

More missed chances tells us the story of Saints' season. If this game goes to form Palace will score a late winner, probably with 10 men.

If it's anything like Saints it'll be just some endless loop where she never actually gets her kit off...

Sounds a bit like how the team have playing……

[Saint Fan CaM]

Woy knows that a draw will effectively relegate us meaning one less place available for them. His team just need to contain a team incapable of producing a goal threat and likely steal a late goal on the break - it couldn’t be easier for them.

Selles on the other hand is telling his players not to worry as there’s no “must win” games!

Edited 15 April, 2023 by Saint Fan CaM

[bpsaint]

I know Selles was saying that they’re not looking at the league table, but do these fucking pricks even realise we’re in a relegation battle. It’s got all the tempo of a preseason friendly.

Can easily see this being a 0-1 smash and grab.

[Ken Tone]

They seem to be the ones with the bloody drum. Really really annoying 

[Convict Colony]

Fuck it get tall paul and mara on and start pinging balls into the box, would at least expect mara to be a bit more confident in scoring

Not a bad shout, just Paul throwing himself at the crosses and Mara, Sulemana and Alcaraz picking up the second balls.

[Baird of the land]

Dogshite coach clearly happy going for a point

[charliemiller]

COME ON SAINTS THIS IS IT !!!!!!Huge Second half

This is the bit I don’t get. It’s like he thinks all we need to do is not lose. Where is the fuckin urgency ffs. It literally seems like nobody’s that bothered.

[saint lard]

It’s truly laughable. 
no urgency.no effort. No leadership. No fight. No desire. No idea.

He spoke the right things and in a positive fashion but I was doubtful he would deliver it on the pitch... All talk no substance sums selles up unfortunately 

[Saint NL]

Ian Dowie praising Alcarez for showing energy. He's barely been involved.

[Baird of the land]

It amused me no end that our first 2 attacks of the 2nd half were long balls humped up to our non existant target man striker(who is sitting on the bench)

[Osvaldorama]

This is fucking shit.

Wake up saints. Put paul/edozie/Djenepo on and make them have to defend or something. Please. So so boring

No subs then and we will wait till 60 minutes again and likely doing nothing before then. I've been supportive of Selles but this is so so frustrating. 

[sandwichsaint]

Dowie’s bizarre assessments of some of our players is the biggest fun.

[Saint NL]

Silly from Lavia to get booked there

[OttawaSaint]

Yellow for Lavia. 

[OttawaSaint]

Going down is one thing but going down without a fight is unforgivable.

[Saint NL]

That's one of the worst free kick attempts I've seen in a while
