I just want to get through.

The time has come for the stronger teams in the cups rather than the league though imo.

 

Why do you bother then? Go watch rugby and bask in the glory of another club. This is Saints, been disappointing supporters for years ....

 

Some of these comments.

Anyway, Virgil is so damn good that it feels like nitpicking (mainly since it isn't his primary job), but man... He should've pretty much won this group for us already. Would've papered over the cracks a bit for sure though - much to learn.

 

What a relief you haven't got a cat!!

 

Looks like we hit a purple patch a month and everything looked rosy and now its all gone wrong. Think we still qualify but my word that was poor against a fairly poor Sparta side

 

Has to be 0-0. 1-1 and they go through on the fourth tiebreaker.

 

Taking it well on here then.

 

I had a few promotions to hold on to. At least in rugby they put some effort in. Even VVD couldn't give a **** tonight.

It was embarrassing tonight, it was embarrassing vs Hull. We are truly inept at the moment. As some one else mentioned above, we haven't looked like scoring in open play for a long time.

 

This is a learning curve for Saints. Sparta are a vastly experinced European team so know how to go about qualifying from a group stage. I doubt they will win the competition though as there are classier teams in the tournament. If I was a betting man, Shaktar have to be the favourites.

 

People are going overboard but it's a blessing in disguise that you couldn't watch mate. Painful.

 

Martina was my motm

 

Not going to worry about the game itself. We have played **** games before. What I am worrying about is how few goals we get.

 

Yeah i missed that. Don't understand why though Uefa has them ahead of us at the moment, as we drew our match, but we have a better goal difference.

 

On current form I think we can get 0 against Hapoel.
Let's hope they can match it.
Very disappointing second 45 minutes. At least we looked like a team with a plan, in the first half.
Not looking forward to the return of Koeman, based on recent form.

 

Glad I didn't go to a away game. No goals and only 1 point isn't good.

 

Right now, our better overall GD comes into play. It's lower on the totem pole than away goals in head-to-heads, though.

 

Martina was my motm

 

Well I had an amazing time away at Inter.

 

Completely agree. One game in a while, fine. But I'm not sure how many times I can take losing because we can't hit a cow's arse with a banjo.
