Ralph has said that "injuries are not Covid cases" in response to the idea that Newcastle might try and get Sunday postponed. Good on him.
I’m not at all surprised seeing the way they threw themselves to the floor at the slightest contact (and no contact at all). The first yellow against Salisu was a perfect example of that.
Came back to watch the game expecting a turkey and ham pie but Mrs Jab had knocked up a red curry. We were spicy today too. Coconut milk is about to go in I've had a bowl as it is, bloody lovely as was the result.
I'd like to point out we're 10 points clear of the bottom 3 and only 5 off 8th. Yes I know teams have games in hand but I'd rather have the points on the board.
Have to say that having seen the offside decision then it's an absolute joke tbh, and along with the other wrongly disallowed goal I can see why they're upset. Oh well.
Salisu set up our goal don’t forget. I agree his tackle on Son was reckless but his first yellow wasn’t even a foul.
Hopefully that should stop the "refs are biased towards top 6 teams" chat. Taylor was awful today, for both teams.
Maybe, maybe not but the way Salisu was lunging in all over the place was bound to draw the referee's attention. Needs to calm down a bit!
Well Gentlemen and Ladies, despite our differences at times, i think we can conclude the boys ate still fighting for the club, fans and maybe us. I am the most optismic as a Saints fan since Koeman left. Ralph will lead us to highs. Ralph will lead us to unbelievable lows. Ralph will not lead us to numbness (Hughes,, Puel, Pellegrino) I havet o believe in this journey, even if Newcastle do us 0-4, which they won't. Under Ralph, we get better,slowly, slowly, have patience my friends
Yep, I was desperately hoping he could hold on until half time without getting a red. He did a monster sliding lunge tackle after his first yellow, which thank god actually got the ball, but it really could have easily gone clattering into the player instead.
And to think there was a time when people wanted Salisu and Lyanco to be the starting pairing. Picture the scenes
