Article: Southampton v Sunderland match thread | Southampton FC, Football

Well, Wes Brown is from t'up North, so on this occasion I'm letting Tom off on a technicality.

 

I'd like to point out that on this occasion, that wasn't me.

 

you realise that an eye for an eye is pretty stupid don't you?

 

Not corrected .......... I've leave when I'm ready, not when some witless dope puffs his chest out

 

I suspect you'll leave when TSS returns actually.....

 

Yeah, it's a bit childish but what the ****, this is costing me nowt ........ if people can't take banter they shouldn't dish it out.

 

Can we all stop talking to him and concentrate on the match please?

I can't be the only one who gets confused when lallana gets taken off, he doesn't even look tired half the time!

 

Now run along and go out to play. You're irritating the adults.

 

If you weren't such a ****e team with a **** for a manager then he wouldn't have gone on your board.

 

TSS? The Southampton Strangler

 

"Banter" indicates a level of wit and humour, something you're sadly utterly devoid of.

 

It what possible way is this banter? Isn't banter meant to have an element of humour? all that's happening here is you embarrassing yourself. Again.

 

I think he didn't want to unsettle the defensive structure at the time as we were under a bit of pressure, and it wasn't Adam's best game.

 

Almost came off though, had that free-kick been given and a red card, we'd have been in with a great chance of winning it.

 

To be fair his replacement was a horror tackle away from sticking the ball in the net........

 

No, I've lived in the south of France for 20 years and fly back for matches ........... next match is Wednesday

 

I'd still have gone for Davis instead, we should be aiming for a win at sides battling relegation. Especially when we have the lead.

 

I thought Adam looked a bit ill when interviewed prior to the game. He was very pale.

 

Well...

The past two or three seasons he's had a recurrent groin strain. This season he's been playing for 60-70 minutes when the game's tough and he hasn't had any injuries at all. I suspect someone in the medical team has suggested it. MP's clearly no fool; I think he has to have a very good reason to be taking him off.

Also, Adam tends not to look angry when he's brought off when playing well which suggests to me that he knows the reason as well.

Lots of guesswork in there but the only alternative I can think of is that somehow MP doesn't notice that he's playing well and takes him off anyway.

Vin

 

Embarrasment implies intelligence, something this thing is sadly lacking.
