Channel I'm watching showed an aerial shot of the ground and thousands were streaming out during HT.

I'll bet there were one or two who left our game at half time yesterday 😕

Yep. Joe coming home to join the promotion push.

Great story for Haller though.

Weird tournament really, I remember watching Ivory Coast get trashed by Guinea, everyone despondent, their coach sacked etc. Strange game is football!

[saintant]

Joe should be nice and fresh after a few weeks holiday in Africa.

How many minutes has he played in total? Not much I'm guessing.

Don't think he's featured much and only got about 10 minutes in the final. Should be raring to go although doubt he'll be in the squad on Tuesday.

[SaintBobby]

Nigeria were dreadful....mind you, the match was pretty poor overall. I guess Aribo is available again for the WBA game?

[East Kent Saint]

Watching West Ham on Motd was painful they didn't have a clue not just JWP but the whole team were just jogging around while Arsenal ran past them for another goal attempt ! Moyes just seemed to sit watching getting more miserable as the game dragged on , seemed a broken man when interviewed .

Tomorrow's fixtures, maybe deliberate, maybe a coincidence, but every team with 'city' in their name are playing a team without 'city' in their name.  What are the odds of that happening if it's not deliberate?

Asked kwsaint senior, if you discount the other 12 teams in the division: 

6/11 × 5/9 × 4/7 × 3/5 × 2/3 = 16/231 or 6.93%

You have to question if there is something bigger going on.

Probably to do with Chem-trails or something.

with the addition of WIFI to St Marys, you really have to question what the motive is here... Wish they'd just leave politics from football

Yeah, but Sheffield Wednesday aren't playing on Wednesday so it's probably nothing.

i may be making a wild stab in the dark, but i assume you are either retired or in a very mundane job that allows your mind to wander!

The following was a BTL comment on The Guardian's match report:  "There's humiliation and then there's bringing Cedric on with 15 minutes to go." 🙂

I see that Derrick Abu was initiated into the 9-goal defeat club last night when Harrogate were demolished 9-2 by Mansfield. Hauled off after 53 minutes, with Mansfield already 6-0 up. Bit of a shock for the lad after the 1-0 win on his debut.

Kazeem Olaigbe managed to avoid the ignominy, not in the squad.

Nice to know that our loan manager has such attention to detail, he can arrange for the same traumas as the parent squad. 🙂

[CB Fry]

Ipswich piling the pressure on Leicester now. 2-0 up against Millwall.

[obelisk]

Ipswich 3 up now. Those teams around us seem to be really going for it. Big question now is whether Saints can do the same starting Friday.

3-0 now 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

It's probably going to come down to how we perform in the games against Leicester, Leeds and Ipswich. 

[adrian lord]

Yep, Ipswich's blip looks to be over. Leeds looking like a machine now. We have got to get right back on it.

3-0 up with 2 shots on target. Impressive

Lots of people said that about the home game too, we were below average and still beat them.

Didn't take Leeds long unfortunately.

They’re going to get second aren’t they. Easier run in and improving every week.

archie Gary is going to be some player, 17 years old and already do accomplished. Whats interesting is he trained at the same football school my lad goes to they reckon he didn’t really stand out until he got  to a 13 or 14 then suddenly it all clicked 

He’s got two younger brothers too who are class as well, they think one of them is better than Archie was at the same age.

I guess all we can do is worry about our games but I certainly wouldn't want to be going into that final day needing to get something at Elland Road.

It could end in a draw and Ipswich pipping both of us they’re home to Huddersfield that day who probably won’t have much to play for if they keep going as they are

[ErwinK1961]

Leeds home games look a doddle (other than Leicester, but still back them to win that). They have a few tricker away games, Hudds/Boro/Watford/Cov where I can see them maybe dropping points. 

Gnoto is what I was hoping Sulemana would be 

[Jack]

Leeds playing some good stuff, decent press too which is too good for Plymouth. Hoping for a goal out of nothing really 

[SNSUN]

Come on Janners, do us a favour.

[whelk]

Leeds one shot in total so far. 

[Block41 Saint]

Game over. 

[Harry_SFC]

Leeds are just so solid at the back and then have the quality up top to hurt teams. Can only see them losing to two sides. Us and/or Leicester.

Another shit goal to concede. Leeds haven’t been great but haven’t needed to be

Well, they've lost more than we have, including West Brom at the Hawthorns. And Stoke. And Preston. And Sunderland.

To be fair they look like a different side since the turn of the year.
