    I liked all the use of arrows in the analysis....made me think of the time when we were referred to as the Red Arrows. I remember an analysis from back then showing how all our players knew what to do with and without the ball and why we were so hard to play against.

    Please let this match be the start of a similar era. Pretty please.

    I thought he was saying “Marching in, Saints go Marching in” as the crowd were singing it.... I didn’t however study lip reading* skills at school


    * well I did, but not the way you think :)

    Ralph H seems to think the fans should get a beer before every game if that is what it takes. You could hear accounts crying in the background. :)

    Pussy.

    Robbie will be loving it though. His income must've dropped significantly while Arsenal were on there 22 match unbeaten run, he must be hoping this is the start of the money to come rolling in

    After the last couple of years I think I have had my fill, time to let you optimistic, unrealistic, head in the clouds types have your moment.

    For one week anyway (can still find the negative :1980_boogie_down:)

    This definitely feels like the start of something. As if, having lost our direction for a couple of years, we have rediscovered a sense of purpose.

    Whether it will get you a new washing machine is another matter.

    Yep it feels different this time. I think we all have warmed to him. Feels like a cloud has been lifted, weird to explain.

    And let us resolve to never lose our way again. Whenever Ralph's time with the club ends, replace him with another Ralph. This is how we play football. This should always be how we play football.

    Possibly. I’m happy with both options!

    I'm imagining some kind of grand structure, like an aqueduct, with pillars made of 'Ralphs' endlessly, gloriously stretching into the future

    Still in a bit of shock tbh. I was desperate for a point out of the game, so to come away with the 3 is immense. Fair play to Ralph for keeping a level head though.

    I am struggling hard not to get carried away though :)

    The analysis clips looked fantastic, especially the pressing examples, a real showcase.

    Just got a very worried text from Poch:

    “LTL, is everything okay with us? I can’t believe I’m asking, but is there someone else? MP xxxxx”

    I understand some of you saying we shouldn't get carried away...........Bloody hell guys this was our first bloody win at home this season. Not forgetting against the mighty Arsenal!!.........Don't worry most of us will have our feet back on the ground by next weekend. A win is a win and in this day and age a rarity so lets just enjoy the glow for a bit more time............

    Just done a quick points tally for the rest of the season between the guys at work this morning ... I've predicted us to get 33 points in the remaining games. <laugh><laugh><laugh> Little bit optimistic but **** it.
