Saints 4-4 Liverpool - Match Thread

Selles looking sharp in Zara, a turtle necked matador with an defiant Iberian thrust of the jaw - but no plan.  Semmens sent down by Ramus to put Ruben's P45 in his jacket hanging in the changing room at the start of the second half.  Big Russell, new coat of Wella coal black rinse, as always desperate for possession, expectantly nervous in the stands. 

I genuinely hope Selles plays the full 2022/23 shit-list of mediocrity - Djnepo, Moi, Aribo the ensemble cast of the muppet show.  Then watch the utter cunts comfortably win - Ralph in his recently purchased conservatory in Graz instinctively falling to his knees with a tear in the eye at the final whistle.

Then again, we might just get dicked as per usual...

  

Brilliant!

what’s our obsession with fashionable managers? ralph was wild with the trousers, selles looked like he was looking for a contract from GQ magazine, Martin looks like he’s watched American Psycho and slicks his hair like Rasmus Ankerson.

Also why with all these dots adding up did we appoint Nathan F*cking Jones.

Sartorial balance...

[Victor]

Semmens has stepped down.

[coalman]

I don't get the negativity. We have one last chance to make the record for largest defeat ours alone and a team in Liverpool who want to end in style. This has all the makings of a classic.

Nickname at Norwich - probably because he is a six foot plus centre half.  Maybe same as big John McGrath, big Dave Watson etc. (who weren't as big as him per se). 

no but the latter 2 had presence about them on the pitch..................

I won’t be going but to those who are, I would suggest a walk out on 70 mins. I think if anything is going to send a message to those running the club, it’s an empty stadium, rather than booing.

We haven’t got the fans mate ..st Mary’s is shocking and has been for long time now .. these fans wot have emerged over the last two seasons maybe longer would rather Clap 👏🏻 the players who don’t give a fuck for sfc than Stand together and show unity show the club we won’t stand for it we are the paying customers .. even away days are now full of mongs  .. it’s embarrassing truly embarrassing.. ive supported saints for over 40 years and wot I see now isn’t wot I fell in love with.. maybe not just happening at saints but its ripped through the heart of our club .. mediocrity and embarrassing shit support along with the club letting away fans take the absolute piss out of us has condemned me to despair… il still go cos it’s a disease .. i won’t be able to not go but wot I’ve seen in the premier league from us and the money I’ve stumped up it’s nothing short of robbery. Feel empty and roll on Sunday wen it’s all over !!

[rallyboy]

Despite all the evidence to the contrary and the fact that we have been by far the worst team of a terrible bunch, I still can't shrug off the deranged optimism that we might get something on Sunday.

Blind faith brings us back - sadly that faith normally lasts less than ten minutes.

Working nights over the weekend so I'll be asleep as the season comes to a close.

No different from most of the home fans in the ground then. Not much excitement to keep us awake..

[Saint_Jonny]

Forgot about the ticket exchange until reading this thread. Listed! 

I hope my match-going-mojo comes back in time for next season.

Of course only a benefit for those renewing next season when you’ll get a credit, if not better to let it just sit empty rather than allow the club to sell it on to some scouser

I'll be renewing, no doubt about that. It'll be my old man that has to stand next to some plastic scouser, he's been warned.

[John Boy Saint]

All these tickets being sold on the exchange - the 70 minute walk out looks like it will be a damp squib with all the scousers in the house 😳😀

[fanimal]

If and when we lose this game this will be the only time in 57 years I have not been present for a home win having missed just 3 matches

An awful personal milestone

When you put it like that it's amazing we've got more than 6 points! One day someone will write a film about it, like Escape to Victory, but with them all facing a firing squad at the end, a comedy

Even with Stallone in goal, Caine at centre back, a 40 year old Moore and 41 year old Pele, the Allies would take us to the fucking cleaners.

With Stallone's Mum, Marti Caine, Patrick Moore and the Pele who used to play for us this lot would have a game on their hands!

[woodsaint1]

Hopefully with nothing to play for, Liverpool field the kids and that will rule out the possibility of a 9-0 to finish the season (although not entirely).

Would go with....

                      Bazunu

Tino       Bednarek   DCC      KWP

                 JWP    Lavia

Sulemana      Alcaraz      Doyle

                       Mara

Ballard to get at least a half of football as well

Hopefully the ground is empty by 6pm so they dont feel the need to do a 'lap of honour'

[fanimal]

But would happen on the off chance we do win?

And why no more ideas of a protest??

Looking forward to seeing what Elyonoussi can do against Liverpool.....

Last chance for a few players to put themselves in the big club shop window. 

4-0 Saints.

If we have any sense he won't play, and we'll have the likes of Alcaraz, Doyle, Dibling involved who will be much more important for our future than he is. 

But we won't have any sense, so I expect a front 3 of Ely, Aribo and Theo.

LOL

You know it

[ant]

Had no idea this is a sell-out (though I guess that's the Liverpool element). I've other, more pressing plans on Sunday than watching our current goons jog around.

So thanks to those that have discussed the ticket exchange.

Funds are tight, so hopefully it'll facilitate a match or two next season.

 

[do i not like fizzy pop]

It's Saints, and typically being Saints we will play abysmally but somehow sneak this 1-0.... it'll be an own goal, goes in off van Dijk's arse after a mix up with Alisson 

[Cabrone]

If Pool have nothing to play for it's going to be a practice session and we may even get a draw out of it.

If Pool have something to still play for they will win.

Totally irrelevant either way. The real work starts the next day.

Selles off confirmed his last game yay

He'll probably play himself at centre mid in a specially commissioned rollneck Saints shirt, sticking Vs up at the crowd for the full 90 minutes. What a terrible way of handling it. Why have him involved at all? Pointless. Like us.

Russell Osman could show a few of our attacking players how to score goals for Saints.

I plan to boo them onto the pitch and again off the pitch , if it is JWPs final game for us he should do his own lap would clap him for his 12 years contribution to the club , deserves some acknowledgement

Top player with a great shot on him, screamers against Everton, Charlton and I think Coventry spring to mind

He was a great bloke as well. As a student, I used to work in the Montagu Arms in Beaulieu and one afternoon a woman walked in, bought a drink and asked me what it was like living in the village, as her and her husband were thinking of moving in.  I asked what he did and she said he plays football and is signing for Southampton and sure enough they bought the house up the road and he used to come in quite regularly until I left to go to college the following September.

[dinger76]

My brother painted his house,he remembers Gary Lineker & David Gower turning up,good old Russell,use to give us tickets for Saints away games

[THINWHITEDUKE]

I’m not going Sunday, and I’m not putting my ticket on the exchange so some plastic scouser can sit in my seat. I’ll take the financial hit and I urge everyone not going to do the same, fed up with away support in the home areas. Just my opinion 🤷🏽‍♂️

I was going to do the same but have decided to go to the game now, bit of a surreal one with nothing at stake but for some weird reason still feel the need to be there, no doubt will regret that on Sunday

TBH I think it’d actually be funny if the stadium was just 32,000 Liverpool fans.

Why would you want that ?

[Saint Keef]

In a sad sort of way, I am kind of relieved we have already been relegated. Imagine the forlorn hope that we would all have had on here, that this bunch could get us a season saving result against Liverpool on the final day. We are where we are because we deserve to be, thanks mainly due to the appalling decisions made by the club. Maybe it's better that way than to have Van Dijk score a last minute winner to break our hearts and send us down.

I am glad that at least our relegation is fully deserved and only the club has itself to blame.

i would have dropped dead from rage if it had come down to some horrible VAR decision.

[Fitzhugh Fella]

I have been umming and ahing about going on Sunday but I’ve just discovered I have lost my ST so I can’t go. The feeling of relief that has accompanied the knowledge I can’t go is overwhelmingly palpable.  

[charliemiller]

I am sure if you take your passport and address ID to the ticket office they can issue you an entry ticket for your season ticket seat .

 

maybe a solution isnt welcomed lol

[the saint in winchester]

Ironically, with Liverpool having nothing to play for, and Prowsey saying we want to win this for Selles, maybe we can see Southampton win!

Depends what team Selles sends out, though.

[Anthony]

I am in a similar position to others on here.

I bought tickets for me and my 3 children a while back (12, 10 & 5). We have been to quite a few away games this season, but I have yet to take them to St Marys

At the time of buying, I thought we would be relegated this season, but I also thought we would have put up a bit of a fight.

I'll be travelling down on the train form London, and as it stands, I just have no desire to goto to the game and make the journey down.

Need to make my mind up soon, as will need to buy the train tickets
