Saints 1-5 Chelsea - Match Thread

[captainchris]

What sort of ship is Martin running here. This is utter madness …. Martin is really really terrible.

[Polaroid Saint]

Stephens taking one for his best mate there? - get sent off, so RM can blame the sending off for the result. Ffs. 

 

[CB Fry]

Pulling someone's hair is the literal opposite of brave.

[obelisk]

Ref's lost it. Chelsea kicking our players gets no punishment at all.

[OttawaSaint]

This is so embarrassing.

I hate this team, manager and owners.

I like Fernandes, KWP, Ramsdale, Dibling and Sugawara. The rest can fuck off. 

[Suhari]

Still trying to play tippy-tappy at the back.

Oh well, the red card will give Martin his deflection tactic post match. 

Expand  

Indeed... "We were still in the game before the sending off... Blah blah blah"

[Saint Gifford]

I can’t wondering if he so far up his own arse with telling his players what he wants how to play.

Believing that his system is he only one in the world. ect ect ect. 

He has completely forgotten to do any homework on the opposition team and players and how the opposition sets up. 

Any idiot could see how that third goal was going to be scored. 

[Toussaint]

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone else gets sent off

[Viking Saint]

On the plus side, that's Shoehorn out for another 4 games

FFS! VAR strikes again.

Expand  

On what planet was that in any way the fault of VAR? The Man Utd red was stupid from Stephens but that was next level. He’s an absolute f**king w*nker.

Of course there isn't. Fucking corrupt cunts.

Expand  

That was in no way a red card offence by their keeper, our players are just throwing their toys out.

We will be down to 10 men probably within 30 minutes due to hard but fair tackles giving the obviously biased ref a chance to issue red.

Expand  

Didn't envisage hair pulling. Big girls both of them.

Same again on Saturday, yeah?

[Convict Colony]

[Saint_clark]

Amazon stubbornly refusing to show a replay of the keeper kicking out. 

[Farmer Saint]

Great tackle by Wood.

[Hatch]

I want him sacked before half time.

Worried it could be more than 9 this time around...

Oh well. It’ll be 9-1 rather than 9-0. That’s a relief!

Expand  

I’d actually take 1-9 right now, Could easily be a lot worse. 

[Mr X]

At least we are definitely beating derbys record

Without VAR nobody sees it. Still stupid by captain Shoehorn.

[Bakovnetski]

At least some decent tackles by Wood. Maybe a player in there.

[Saint NL]

This'll jinx it, but Wood has actually been decent.

Id take more of a smacking if it meant Martin went.

Because they can’t face the tedium of passing the ball backwards and sideways for another half hour?

[Farmer Saint]

We do look good going forwards though at least - I feel we've kinda fixed that 🤣

[Baird of the land]

It is very stupid by Stephens but i do think its odd that its violent conduct.

I agree, don't think the keeper did much wrong there.

This is shaping up to be a catastrophic performance and Martin has to take responsibility.

How did you think it was going to go tonight with Chelsea in form and us missing so many first team players?!!!

[ChristopheVAFC]

VAR is really killing football...

[64saint]

Dare I say Wood having a half decent game on his debut.   Probably qué for a massive cock up now

[SNSUN]

I don't even care if it's a wasted tenner. I just have a horrible feeling about the second half. 

[DG]

Stephens still being around shows how badly we are run. Manager, scouts, board members and owner need to fuck off.

[Convict Colony]

I would normally say an outfielder position has been woeful tonight but theyve been ok apart from hairdresser Stephens, Lumley like Mccarthys decision making has been the difference.

That’s like blaming a murder on CCTV.

Damage limitation second half. Chelsea can get as many as they like.

It's been a while since we lost 7-1. Could be more though.

Fuck me though, this Chelsea side are really quite impressive when they play.

Have you never seen two drunk women fighting outside a nightclub before?

[Convict Colony]

Also one of you must have a website showing the amount of shots that have been blocked by player, I'm trying to see something.

You could say its soft but why would you even do that with VAR. Stephens should never wear the shirt again.

I agree with this. Utterly fucking brainless. What a cunt and he’s supposed to be captain setting an example. Total fucking wanker.

Our discipline this season has been absolutely shocking. Three players suspended for 5 yellows by December is fuckin criminal.

I feel bad for Poch as I think he'd have done just as well if not better if he was allowed to carry on. 

[Mr X]

Never thought I'd say it but I detest Martin more than Nathan Jones
