What a job Parker is doing btw, i know they might obviously lose tonight. But the heart and desire they show is brilliant. Not to mention, real tactical improvements as the season has gone on. Could be a manager to watch.
Anyway, that’s the end of our top 4 dreams, which tbf is astonishing that it lasted 28 games. I hate the Europey but it was the clubs aim at the start of the season and it’s probably what we need at this point of the Carlo era, so I hope we can secure a spot in it now.
This season is mental tbh. We lose to Everton twice but battered Burnley. We lose to Liverpool twice but beat Fulham and Burnley who have recently won at anfield. Similar could be said of most teams... We are only 6 points off 4th ffs... Never seen a season quite as weird to be honest. Only City have got their **** together
He had to bring in a lot of players in the summer, as they weren't good enough to stay up otherwise. Getting the best out of them took a while and the defence took time to bed in, but they're really tough to beat now. They'll have to do it all again next season if they stay up though, as a lot of them are on loan.
I completely agree. They looked lost at the start of the season but he’s done a brilliant job turning it around and tactically he’s very astute, much better than I gave him credit for tbh.
Tbh I think that it's too early to write yourselves off for top 4...plenty more twists will happen in the next 10 to 12 games.
I loved watching Hoddle play. Was too young to see George Best or Greaves so to see a real footballing genius at WHL was fantastic. Truly brilliant play. Pretty Meh as a manager (good tactically but awful man manager). ****ing awful pundit.
I have not been to a game for years , so I follow saints now on tv etc . I do wonder though what impact the loss of crowds has had on games , I would guess it’s pretty bloody huge !
