Good from Manning but why didn't he have a shot FFS?

Yes, I know. I'm asking who called...

My usual contact - best mate from Uni - works as an agent.

[Suhari]

It's all about possession in the opening second half minutes.

What, and risk losing possession of the ball...?!

Cheers 👍

On the plus side the shitter we are this season the more likely we are to keep hold of some of the players we actually want to keep. 

[Toussaint]

Our midfield is pushing up high in a static line, a couple of good passes and they are completely out of the game, what’s the logic?

Doesn't wanna get dropped next game.

I can only hope that you're right.  It won't save us but it would be the first step on the path to redemption. 

[Saint NL]

Why do they keep showing the game? I'm just watching for the close up of Martins sad face

[Saint_clark]

Bless the saints fans for cheering a yellow card for Maddison.

Dibling, fernandes, ramsdale, THB, KWP are all gone mate - don't kid yourself.

[beatlesaint]

As an aside, whoever comes in has to get these twats fit cos that’s partly the problem…..fuck me thinking about it we haven’t got to the time they tail off big time yet 🤦🏻

Dolphins and Texans on for the second half.

So we'll use echolocation and lassos to try and win this game?

[Lighthouse]

Have 11 goals ever been scored at the same end in a PL match?

He is, but he isn't. He's gone.

Is that ‘gone’ as in he hasn’t been in charge since last weekend? Or a new “gone”?

No, I live nearly 3 hours ago and am not a big enough fan tbh.

Even Tall Paul, who wasn't good enough a few weeks ago, will be straight out the door

Ask in about 40 minutes.

Surprised fans still there for the 2nd half..

Spurs supporters, sitting in the home section 😉

[obelisk]

I'm questioning the fitness of Saints' players again. They're two yards slower than their opponents continually getting caught on the ball.

Lucky you, it’s still 0-0.

Think rm has given the fans what they asked for, we've been playing high press, and abandoned the possession football, looking for channels instead. 

This is what we asked for, it just shows how incredible a job rm has been doing in the other games for them to be as close as they have been.

I think the board probably forced this on him, and now he has all the ammo needed to guarantee his job to the end of the season...

 

Don't give him any ideas!

That's been a feature for a while.

Fair enough. Bednarek, Smallbone, Downes, Amo Ameyew, Charles, Archer, Armstrong and Lallana should be pretty decent in the championship.

Yeah, my bad 😂

Can you blame him after the poor way he's been treated here ?

Too late - you can't suddenly improve fitness when games are coming thick and fast. Pre-season is for fitness training and it looks like we put our feet up and just joked around with buddy Russ.

[Saint_clark]

Armstrong miles offside, his timing is shocking.

Maybe Ted Lasso? He’d do a better job. As for Ecco the fucking Dolphin?

[Toussaint]

Armstrong is very poor, but we’ll need him next season 

[trousers]

Armstrong a mile offside but still doesn't test Forster with a one-on-one

I'm not sure if you asking whether Saints will score 6; or if Spurs will get 11 in the second half.

More days like today and I think THB might not have any offers.

[Bakovnetski]

Fair play to sing OWTS with this crap served up

You don’t need to be fit to pass the ball about. 
 

Stop trying to get in the way of Russell Martinola and his vanity project.

He's an England International. He either stays with us another season or someone pays 30 million. Either way is good for us.

What, that I live a long way from the ground? Was it that I have said this multiple times that led you that conclusion?

I'd say he must really hope one of the promoted teams needs a new defender. 

[Saint Billy]

Armstrong offside and misses sitter at the same time. Armstrong multi tasking at last.

People will take a longer-term view that he has the makings of a decent regular PL centre half for the top 7 clubs with a professional coaching and management set-up around him. Sholing or Eastleigh would be a step up In terms of professionalism.

He was lucky VAR took the heat off him against Brighton. All the interfering or not debate distracted people from how absolutely dreadful it was for him to be a solid yard offside in that situation in the first place. Will be useful again next year but a truly hopeless PL footballer.

Can we get Onuachu on for the memes please.

AGree.  Him and Downes are vastly overrated

I think it's futile to judge the players bound to Martin's special brand of shite management.

[Saint NL]

Fair play to the fans, they're doing a good job.

Hope they give Martin both barrels at full time though.
