Saints v Stoke match thread [including League Cup tie]

I was thinking Crouchies second effort may have been a straight red anyway. Some Referees are a bit inconsistent at times.

 

I'd be willing to keep it updated, if enough people wanted one pinned at the top of the page.

 

Good idea, especially for dinosaurs like me who don't use Twitter

 

Waits for Jays twitter response..........

Joking

 

SFC mate, you really should try to be more unbiased if you're writing a report. Every time I read The Saints or Southampton, I was able to think we..!

Of course, I thought it was fine. Were our stripes blue..?

 

And I'll end with a post that sums up Stoke fans for all their moaning about being labelled a thuggish long ball team:

That second half is how I enjoy watching us play. Pressing high, putting teams under pressure, getting crosses in the box, putting tackles in. It gets the crowd going.

This tappy tippy **** (which we aren't good enough to play IMO) across the back is getting us nowhere at times and it kills the tempo and atmosphere.

Replace the bold text with 'KICK THE **** OUT OF THE OPPOSITION.....................And when did the press high?

 

Get's my vote.

 

Well, there was no need for that kind of language was there? The new Arsenal indeed.

 

Yes, I don't think we could justify have another stickied thread, but if enough news comes in it will stay high up by itself.

 

We're not horrible surely..? Banal happy clappers maybe.

 

Ha ha. Everyone knows it's Tippy Tappy, not Tappy Tippy That's why they get it wrong.

 

Thanks for the hints and tips TSS ! I have been asked to write them in a biased way recently but I do get your point !

 

Well they are the old Southampton; or is that liverpool?

 

Yeah, I'm fine with that DTLW. Our usual caveat is not to clog up the top of the webpage, but when we take down the new rule sticky there should be room. Still, I'm just writing my preference as an ordinary member.

 

I can just bookmark it, on my browser and post to it when there's some stuff and I have the time.

 

OK fair enough, mate. You succeeded.

 

That would be magic, thank you DTLW. Don't want dinosaurs like fatletiss and myself missing out on what's going on

 

I said I had ended but this one is too hilarious:

We were utter dog s**t again tonight with a slight improvement in the 2nd half. We stood and watched them put together about 15 passes and not one tackle went in. We are playing tippy tappy s**t and not very well. We are gutless and lack any sort of togetherness. We were s**t tonight and we have been for 90% of the season so far. All that is down to one bloke, hughes! I am not going to slag him off but I would be more than happy to see him gone tomorrow. w**k Stoke, utter w**k!


Nighty night COYR

 

I'll start with tonight's tweets. Now to think of a thread name...

 

Indeed that would be great. And while you're at it why not change unis to Southampton and live in a tent outside Staplewood..?

No seriously, we appreciate all those extra efforts you make to keep us upto speed.
