[Farmer Saint]

Les and Cornet are soooooooooo bad.

[Saint NL]

I don't remember Ramsdale doing anything apart from pick the ball out the net twice. Weird game

Will bookies give odds on us finishing the season with one point?

Expand  

Difficult to find a bookies that will do custom bets these days. Most just direct you to their machines which give the odds from their websites.

We’re outplaying them by any metric you can muster. All the play is in their half and if Armstrong, Suga and Les could do the simple things properly, we’d have been 3-0 up at half time.

Expand  

Except the one metric that matters. Fuck me Russ get off your phone. 

[Saint Matty 76]

It's actually incredible how we've put one good cross onto Onuachu's head since he signed for us

[Edmonton Saint]

Adam Armstrong really is gash isn’t he.

Are you actually happy with this performance?

Cross it in the air FFS.

[Saint NL]

Sam AA gets a rare run out 👍

Christ, they sound like two people sitting at home in their armchairs talking to each other while watching the footie. It's actually getting quite interesting but you wouldn't have thought so with these commentators

At least Les has the time on his side I guess. Cornet looks nothing like the player he was at Lyon/Burnley. Very disappointing.

Wouldnt want to see us play a PL game with Les in this position. Really weak, really lazy. Complete waste of a loan.

[Suhari]

Getting a bit end to end.

[Saint86]

Lesley trying to give stoke a 3rd there...

The real FACT that matters 

[trousers]

It's heading for penalties and we take off our best penalty taker... 🤦‍♂️

[Saint_clark]

Bednarek off for Sulemana and Armstrong off for SAA.

The co-commentator reckons we were settling for penalties though 😂

Doing knitting on Saturday will be more exciting than watching this rubbish.

Get more attackers on the pitch Russell FFS

It’s alright at least we’ve got BBD on to miss one.

Expand  

A clever ploy by Russ take off our best penalty taker to lull Stoke into playing for penalties then we take control and snatch the late winner. That why you don’t have a philosophy you Philistine 

[Mr X]

If this many attacking players on the pitch can't score against stoke we are well and truly fucked!

To be fair with Sulemana on it’s a reasonable assumption 

[Saint86]

Onuachu furiously telling them how to cross 😂🤣

An out of favour squad player is one of the "leaders" on the pitch for us. Joke really.

Forget about scoring, we can't even get the ball into the box 😂

 

[SouSaint]

Sideways pass after sideways pass. This is anti football at its finest. 

[Suhari]

Like seeing TP demanding they swing some in to him.

[Edmonton Saint]

We’re certainly masters at running the clock down

Expand  

Absolutely. Play to your strengths, why are we crossing it from deep with his back to goal. 

[sandwichsaint]

Grimsby-esque, possibly our worst performance of the season.

[Saint86]

This is getting embarrassing. We're comfortably being outplayed by stoke atm. They're keeping us at arms reach and loon far more threatening... Stoke's resveres... 

Edited 29 October, 2024 by Saint86

[Saint NL]

Oh my god, we got away with on there 😂😂😂

[Farmer Saint]

This basic inability to defend is utterly mental.

[obelisk]

Jeez! Almost 2-3. Off the line.

We don't play football in the final 3rd of the pitch so our chances of a goal don't increase the more strikers we have on the field...

 

[Suhari]

Fuck me.

That would've been funny!

Any metric other than goals scored you mean?

😂😂 this is incredible.

Comedy night

Does anyone think a Saints supporter somewhere has really annoyed God?

[Disco Stu]

This was described as a very important game and this is what we've served up. No excuses today.
