Match Day Thread Southampton v Norwich, 12/08/23, 15:00 KO

Because he played most of the game on Tuesday.

 

Watford away when we won 1-0 from an early Adams pearler.

If I remember rightly we won both the league matches of his suspension 1-0. Other was a cup match.

Weren't we winless before his suspension too? Or is my mind completely playing tricks on me?

 

He’s been holding us back all this time

 

Looked it up, we lost 3-1 to Chelsea when he got sent off. Then beat Leeds at home, drew with Burnley at home, and then beat Watford away. All in the league.

And I was right that they were our first wins of the season. In October

 

Am hoping that our home form is excellent and more Fortress St Mary's rather than a charity shop.

2 home wins all season for us long suffering fans.


COYR Let's kick off with a great performance and a home win

 

Getting my tickets now

 

Ok. I was fairly relaxed for first game of season. Lots of matches to go and a good chance we’d do better than in the EPL . I even watched a chunk of game…though missed all the goals. Got suspiciously hopeful after the win.

Now faced with hoping Saints can win 2 consecutive games….that’s one win after another!!! Saints!? So scared

 

It's ok, we lost midweek (although it was a cup game), so isn't a true 'winning' streak.

 

Just organised the circus that is getting me, my mate, my 82 year old dad and his wife from 3 separate houses in Bournemouth/Poole to Southampton tomorrow for the game.

Getting excited now

Also did a dry run of the dishwasher game this morning - a lot trickier than before as we have a new kitchen since I last did it. There is a stupid island now in the middle that impacts my speed (Mrs No7 design not mine). Still think I can do it though.

It's the hope that kills.....

 

Ticket bought. Looking forward to this one. Have a nice run in the new motor too!

 

Where you sitting? (and what is your new car? another Alfa?)

 

Kingsland, and no - too soon! Become a BMW ****er.

 

Chapel for me but not in my ST seat. Can't wait til tomorrow. What's the bets we don't score so I have to wait to celebrate a goal.

 

Or EVEN WORSE, we score and its disallowed by a VAR check

Oh wait ...

... that CAN'T HAPPEN

 

You just know that Norwich will get a dodgy goal that would be so obviously turned over by VAR....

 

Just to get ahead of that in case it happens - I honestly couldn't give a **** if they do. It's football, these things happen.

The adrenaline rush of a goal > the disappointment of a wrong decision against you.

 

Good point from Martin here:

 

You found anything obvious about VAR?
I thought decisions were randomly generated by an Amstrad CPC 464
