Non-Saints Games - 24/25

[Sheaf Saint]

First Saints player to score for England since SRL? 

[HarvSFC]

A Rickie Lambert moment. He's got his head on a few set pieces this season. If only we had a specialist coach.

[Jimmy_D]

What a moment that is for him!  

[bangkoksaint]

Imagine if we put crosses into the box 🙄

[bangkoksaint]

At least Manning didn’t look out of place walking off having been battered

I'm pretty sure JWP scored perhaps against San Marino?

That was 2020 I think during covid lockdown, was a cracking overhead kick with nobody there to see it. 

[Sarnia Cherie]

Roy Keane was a pundit on this game. He must have been delighted to see Taylor, his future son-in-law, bang in another goal against his beloved Ireland. His response was to say that his relationship with Taylor isn't done and dusted and things can change very quickly in the Keane household!  Priceless!

That’s one way of describing a marriage betrothal.

Ball's swung in behind and he smashed it in?

Er ... there were probably a goal or two from JWP in between those two.

[Verbal]

Dom Ballard back in business for England U20s with a nicely taken goal...

Vardy "best striker ever" subbed off as Leicester go 0-2 down at home 😄

Fucking hell, who has ever called him that, nobody. 
 

He’s won more with Leicester  than our club has in over 100 years, bit rich to be taking the piss, especially when he was fucking 10 times the player Adam Armstrong or any of our “strikers” are

I so wish we were Leicester. Stop being so precious over a jokey comment and get over yourself.

Vardy's very good but better than Rooney and Kane, that's a bit of a stretch.

too be honest the original comment about Vardy being subbed off and Leicester losing to Chelsea was a bit weird / noddy in the first place.

why does anyone on here give a fuck about Jamie Vardy and whether he gets subbed or not?

[saintant]

Palace beating Villa - if that is the final result we will be starting to get cut adrift unless we pull off a miracle tomorrow.

[saintant]

Wolves now 2-1 ahead as well.

[LGTL]

So Wolves and Palace winning. We’ll finish bottom by about 30 points at this rate.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Six adrift of Leicester in 17th place as it stands.

[Saint_clark]

Reaching the point where a win wouldn't even lift us off bottom. Grim.

[Pamplemousse]

We've probably already reached the point where sacking RM would be pointless because nobody better would want to come in.

I wonder if that was the plan all along. Not going to make St Mary's a very happy place if the defeats keep on coming though.

Any week now it's going to click.

[Harry_SFC]

No one will be able to keep us up now. The board have made their decision and the blame lies solely at their feet. Anger should be directed at them for the rest of the season. 

[obelisk]

Wolves on a roll now 3-1 up at Fulham. They'll be delighted that Saints handed them their first win of the season.

They will continue to get a free pass, just as they did last time out.

Exactly. Now 4. Wins breed confidence but our clowns in management don't seem to understand. Squeeze a win against Everton and we could have got going. Wolves were crap but our style of play let them in. Now they'll go on a run

[whelk]

This bird reading the final scores on Sky needs to be less robotic

[Lord Duckhunter]

Fucking hell. First time I’ve watched the sky classified results for years. What an annoying voice the bird reading them has. Monotonous drone. 

[OneMrsWallace]

Wolves, Palace and Ipswich are all scoring goals and look capable of winning games. Everton have a tough run to Xmas like us but Dyche will probably scrape them a few points. Leicester slipping a bit and maybe another team will hit a bad patch and slide back; but which three teams are we going to prove better than come May. Just can't see it, which at this stage of the season really pisses me off.

Nearly lost me at the first line. I'd almost forgot those were the metrics everyone else uses to determine success. 🙂

[East Kent Saint]

Looking at all the league tables in the paper I can’t find any other team with 4 points or less !

Nice to have the inside track on just where our next manager is coming from. Left field enough for Rasmus.

[coalman]

City haven't learned their lesson. They just sent an early cross in. Then Foden played a through ball to a winger. Stupid route one football. They really don't get Russball

Edited 23 November, 2024 by coalman

[coalman]

City just learned what happens when you play it forward and don't keep possession 

[Lord Duckhunter]

2-0 now, I wondered what Pep learned from Lego, seeing the left back give the ball away for the second, is clearly one thing he’s learnt.

Guess who the last team that Man City beat were .........

Looking at this City team it's clear they don't have the players to play Russball 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Pep will be on the phone tonight, asking Russ on how to adapt to a more extreme possession based system. When this works out due to the talent at Pep's disposal, Russ comes in as assistant.

That’s their problem. Only scoring 1 against us has clearly affected their confidence. 

[SaintsBarry74]

City don't seem very good at playing Russball.  0-3

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Spurs 3 up, using the odd idea of quick transitions and attacking their opponent.

Pep only signed that contract to stop City hiring Martin.

[Lighthouse]

Talk about Jekyll and Hyde, you never really know which spurs are going to turn up.

Russ really is an incredible mentor to Pep.
