Spurs 3-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Lighthouse]

No matter how certain you think you are of a certain result, you can never actually be certain when it comes to Spurs…

Who scored for Leicester? Do we have anyone as good? I don’t think so and consequently we’ll get roundly beaten once again to confirm relegation. Spurs are just too good for our team. 3-0…possibly 4-0.

[Doctoroncall]

More likely to save Ange from being fired. 
 

can we get a draw?

[Football Special]

They are fully focused on Europa league now

Anyone who fancies joining in a protest they have one planned for Sunday, might go along for a laugh 

[Football Special]

I'd be up for swapping managers with them if they want

They also lost 2-1 at home to Ipswich, here’s hoping for a hatrick by the three promoted/relegated sides…!

Did they not run this futile initiative by Matthew "Fan protests are pointless" Le God first...?

[Pamplemousse]

I think we'll lose but hopefully the performance will be similar to the one against Palace where we were competitive.

 

I would love to win just to see the meltdown inside the stadium at full time.

He’s a bit busy working out which Saints Academy starlets will be turning out for Gosport Borough in two years’ time.

[die Mannyschaft]

Possible draw for Saints,best option 0-0. But the Palace game was a huge improvement. It's just when Jurrasic does subs then everything falls apart. Probably best if Spurs don't sack Posta before Sunday.

[Football Special]

It surely can't be any worse than the home game can it? For me this was the low point of the season , don't think even Martin’s biggest fans could justify him staying in the job after this, first half was probably worst defending I've ever seen

It could, they could get 5 in the 2n half too

[Turkish]

Big Ange must be looking forward to getting back on track sunday. Have they got any players that haven't scored for ages? Get your money on a Spurs win with them to score. Easy money

[macca155]

I'm not so sure about the negativity for this game. There have definitely been some green shoots recently, and the defence is tighter. A draw is not unimaginable.

No Downes is a pain and I guess Aribo will step in.

Has Son ever not scored against us when he's played? I'd be surprised if he hasn't. So you can start there, at least one goal to them before we've even started. 

Hopefully the improved performance on Wednesday gives the team some spirit to chalk up another point on Sunday and get us closer to our incredible target of 12 points for the season 🙏

[Tom57]

Onuachu is potentially out tomorrow, so I guess Archer or Dibling 😕

[Midfield_General]

If we're losing, I wonder if Juric will literally run away at half time like Martin did in the home game? 

[Baird of the land]

Guess it helps saints that Spurs have even less time between games. 

Trusting this saints team to back one decent performance with another is really asking a lot.

And don’t forget Son will win a penalty with a suspect dive… and Maddison likes a goal or two against us. 

So that’s four. 

Hope they take their foot off the pedal for the remaining seventy minutes

Based on his last performance, it is a pain as is Onuachu probably not being fit to play.

They only played yesterday (Thursday) so could be knackered and with their fans turning against them, it would be brilliant to see them lose again. I'm looking forward to checking out their beer glasses!

Why is Downes out ?

Please, please, please, [t would surely be 'peak' Spursy to lose at home to the three no-hopers.

Turning up when Spurs aren't there is our only chance. Even then, it will be close.

I’d like to see a performance similar to Palace, but I’m not too hopeful if it’s a midfield of Smallbone and Aribo.

Send a few hundred of our lads to this and get them to do everything possible to rile up the Spurs lot.

They boo their team from the first whistle; Postecoglou finally snaps, and instructs the players to stage a sit-down protest.

We eventually squeeze the ball into their empty net on 90+2, securing the points. 

Season over, and we can forget it ever happened. 

Easy.

Cups with magnet thing in bottom for automatically filling the beer. Although when I went there the trays were not full so someone setting beer up as order. If slow on first level go up to next level as more staff.

[Wade Garrett]

I have very low expectations for the outcome of this game.

 

[bangkoksaint]

I’ve just looked at the table. If it is ever the case, tomorrow is simply a must win game

[Midfield_General]

Our season starts tomorrow 

[Sarnia Cherie]

Whichever way you look at it, Spurs have had a poor season so I am hoping we can pile the agony on a bit more by sneaking a win. COYS!!!

Great Escape and all that ….

(No don’t believe that bollocks now any more than I did in December or even October). 

[Badger]

Tomorrow: lets not have any footage on MOTD2 of saps crying.

Lets have a relegation party. Anyone bringing any beachballs?

Embrace the failure. Greatest era we've ever had etc.

It’s not over, you doomsayers. All we have to do is win all our remaining games and the three above us lose all of theirs and we’re home and hosed. Come on chaps, let’s have some glass half full!

Was your glass half full something this by any chance?

[Lard]

However much Spurs have been utterly crap by their standards this season, I see nothing more than a heavy defeat for us.

nothing but relegation confirmed today I strongly suspect. 
just want this embarrassing and abject season over.

Holy Shit!

They're planning to wave their flags AND their scarves!  That'll be 'the man' well and truly told after that!

Afterwards I guess they'll all pop into the local Lidl and donate to the foodbank sponsoring the protest.

[TheAlehouseBrawlers]

Happy Relegation Day.

No kidding, been painful getting here but the sun is shining and already looking forward to next season. If we get back up we can only hope lessons have been learned but probably wishful thinking.

[OneMrsWallace]

When was the earliest confirmed relegation in the PL? Can we win that one too?

I think in terms of actual date Derby were relegated earlier but if we go down tomorrow it’ll be the earliest in terms of matches played. They were in ‘match week 32’ when they went down I believe and we’re in 31. 

[Killers Knee]

A day of sporting history with the current squad at Southampton being confirmed as the worst collection of players in the premiership history, then Ovechkin is set to break Wayne Gretsky‘s scoring record against the Islanders.  

[bangkoksaint]

Wow!! T minus 5 hours to KO and this thread hasn’t made it to a second page yet. This apathy should be an alarming signal to the club as to how important what they do and say post match (assuming and expecting we lose) until the end of the season is. Get it wrong and this hangover will go into next season and we could be the next Luton Town.
