Come on the Toon!

 

[st_brendy]

If they do go on and lose, we'll end the weekend eight points and roughly nine places (maybe eight, maybe ten, depending on Everton and Villa) ahead of them. Nice.

Come on the Toon!

Oh yes, just noticed it. Come on Pards, you can do it.

 

[TheSecondStain]

Newcastle are actually looking pretty good.

Noooo....poor Poch

My heart pumps pi$$ for him .........

 

[Saints_Alive]

Who will get the sack first..... Pards or Poch?
I know who my money is on....

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

Great goal Eto'o.

Well it won't be Pards.

The stream I've got has Danny Murphy as the summariser, and he's being very critical of Pochettino's naive tactics. And I have to say, I can't disagree with him. Poch is doing all the things [i.e. hardly anything] we didn't like when things weren't going right for us. In comparison, Pards is being reactive and pro-active. If Newcastle don't get a result from this, it won't be from want of Pards trying. His players are definitely playing for him too.

Don't dislike Pards and Newcastle no threat, so go the Toon.

 

[TheSecondStain]

Great win Toon.

 

[Saints_Alive]

Yes!....now all we need is anything but a Chelsea win.

Tremendous afternoon!

Should we be disappointed not taking points form Liverpool and Tottenham, just about everyone else seems to be doing it?

Oh, well isn't that a shame.

As I said, Les Reed has sold his soul to the devil.

 

[Piebacca]

Chucking away points from a winning position? Lots of chances but only one goal?

That seems familiar.

Don't care. They were Away matches. They are gone and past caring, although you learn from the experience, of course. If you want to post-mortem, then look at the performances themselves. Saints can consider themselves unlucky not to have got something from either game. Which means that in every game this season, Saints have not been beaten out of sight. There has been no 2-0 or 3-0. They've been close. That's important. More often than not, we've been turning these tight ones into results for us. Yesterday 1-0 - although the scoreline actually lied. 1-0 against Swansea. There will be other 1-0s or 2-1s and it's hugely important they end in Saints favour more often than not.

Then there was 0-0 with WBA. I've downloaded that game and have still to watch it in detail.

I saw that the first time, and I still don't think I get it. Are we talking Judas, Faust or something like Dorian Gray..?

MELTDOWN

on the Spuds match thread.....seems that Poch has started drinking from the "poisoned chalice" and it may only be a matter of time.

Faust. We are surely having too many things going our way for it not to involve the supernatural
