Saints 1-5 Chelsea - Match Thread

[OttawaSaint]

I'd be less embarrassed getting caught in a Pompey shirt sucking off David Mellor.

Not enough fans left in the ground to make a proper noise of discontent at fully time.

At this stage watching football isnt the entertainment, its reading this thread..

No need for the question mark, it’s a fact. They’d have to show mid-table form just to reach the Blades’ pathetic total last season.

Going to take the crown by the end of the season with RM in charge yes.

We are no longer a club people outside of SMS and Staplewood who are respected or worthy of respect. Our players don’t, most of the fed up fans don’t, manager doesn’t care, staff don’t care, owners don’t. Media don’t. So the officials won’t.  

We need gut the club and start again to the point in a few years where we are again. 

We're all frustrated - but that is an absolute load of f**king bollocks

[Toussaint]

Sulemana has been most excellent 

[Baird of the land]

Why was sulemana even brought on?

It's weird isn't it. We've just lost 5-1 and there's been a number of half decent performances. 

I think we're just predisposed to think that players have done well when in actual fact they haven't.

Martin will just say or think they are booing the ref anyway

Hey lads, it's been a while. Just out of a coma. Is Koeman still manager. Tell me we've won a cup or two! 

How were our Champs league performances?

To play left back, and free sugawara to play up front, I think?

To catch pitch invaders

Nice training game for Chelsea. 

[Saint_clark]

I switched off too early, were there many boos?

[John Boy Saint]

To hope another mug club fancies a punt on him in January.

[badgerx16]

BOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!

Glad I stayed home for this one.

I think a lot of our players have played well. Stephen’s sending off was a disaster

 

Ramsdale, KWP, THB, Bednarek, Sugawara, Fernandes, Aribo, Downes, Archer, Dibling, Lallana, Onuachu.... these are decent enough players, they're just hampered by a manager that keeps playing his way which we shouldn't be playing. It's like our players are dealt a handicap before a ball is even kicked. We actually start games now wondering what minute will it be when we first shoot ourselves in the foot with the passing out from the back.

Martin twice had a right go at lumley for going long right before the mistake.. what’s the keeper to do. As for Stephen’s.. absolute bell end…should be nowhere near the starting line up.. again that’s on this manager who’s good at being best mates with virtually everyone.

Is it really? Feel sorry for Aribo, Archer, Fernandes, Wood, Manning - put in a proper shift and done their jobs.

But when Captain Crap walks off the job yet again, what does that say about the culture? Yet another keeper concedes two shockers with his feet. They can’t all be deaf. The clown is telling them to do it - and would rather break Derby’s low points record so he can stick to his ‘principles’.

He's let us down massively. Learn from the United game ffs.

he's been a first team player since 2017, he shouldn't be learning basic stuff now FFS

Would have bit your hand off for 1-5 at half time, get in!

The fact that he is still playing in the PL with us says it all. 

[Toussaint]

We are brave, bravely holding up the whole premier league.

[saintant]

Special mentions to Wood and Manning who both played decent games. Also Fernandes, Aribo and KWP. In reality it was men against boys and could have been worse. We knocked the ball about with purpose at times and it would have been closer had we had a full side and weren't playing Russball at the back or captained by an absolute plank.

[AlexLaw76]

I detest the style of football Martin has us playing. I detest him as the manager

[Baird of the land]

Wonder if there's any sort of result against Villa that would convince the board to sack the git.

[Convict Colony]

It could be worse, on the brightside I've still go a few chicks on instagram who love ugly guys and apparently want to make me breakfast everyday and use every orifice they have so i will try and arrange a meet tomorrow.

 

[Saint_clark]

Wood, Manning, KWP, Aribo, Archer, Fernandes all put in decent performances and were let down by the system. With a different manager we might have made a fight of this. Now it's too late.

They're so backwards... probably a win.

Nah, we’ll enjoy a plucky defeat 

[WestMidSaint]

That could easily have been 9

Say goodbye to your kidneys 

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

That Palmer goal was definitely a foul on Manning and clearly a turning point in the game. Another 3 points lost due to referee incompetence. An obvious agenda against Saints.

[LGTL]

We’re an embarrassment to the division and don’t deserve to be in there. Martin is the worst PL manager of all time and we will get relegated with a record low total. Just as some of us predicted after about 2 games.

That’s irony surely?

[beatlesaint]

How many games does our brave and wonderful human being of a captain miss with this red? Two or three? I mean I’d take the next 24 but guess that won’t happen

We're looking at top 8 form just to stay in the League I reckon. 24 games left, need to win half of them.
