Saints v Watford - Sat 30 Nov - 17.30

Couldn’t give a damn if Djeneppo picked the ball up with two hands, carried it through their defence and handed it to Danny to dive over the line with it like JPR Williams (look it up), so long as the goal was given.

 

Our first goal...

 

Over 5’11

 

What a cold and miserable place St Marys was last night, for 70 odd minutes then it started to warm up and by the time the final whistle went it was positively flipping tropical ! Hoping for more of the warm stuff on Wednesday evening.

 

Christ, they liked a high tackle or two in those days didn't they?

 

Some people were leaving before we had equalised yesterday.

 

So was I - the goal stood.

 

Why dont you both agree to differ.

It's getting pretty tired now

 

Anybody thinking our game against Norwich is going to be a stroll in the park needs to watch them against Arsenal

 

From what I've seen of them they're a lot better than Watford and probably better than us as well.

 

Tbf our match stats at the Emirates were at least as good as Norwich's were today and we should've won. I think the difficulties the players have had at SMS have been psychological for quite a while now and we can only hope that a late comeback win against a direct rival will inspire them and the fans alike to help get it back to being a fortress.
Here is an example when the fans had a direct effect on the team against Norwich in 2005, the atmos before Camera scored this was electric and yes I'm aware that we ended up going down that year!

I'm not blaming the fans in any way solely for our poor form only that it needs togetherness to promote some momentum moving forward.

 

Referees weren't over zealous.

 

Don't think anyone expects an easy match, we are both struggling for consistency atm.

 

And no VAR then of course...

 

They must be **** if they can't beat Arsenal...oh...

 

We're definitely a better side away from home at the moment. And the away support has been good from what I've seen (it certainly was at Arsenal, and Spurs).

 

Ralph alluded to that before the match last night.

 

Agree. In fact there’s no strolls in the park these days in the PL. I’m pleased/relieved we won, concerned that yet again for 70 minutes we looked like going down to another defeat. But we won that’s it and I can stand games like that if I feel we have just that bit extra to get over the line when we have to. Let’s hope we don’t give Norwich a goal in the first or second half! Then we’ll win!!!!

 

Only three matches ago Norwich lost 2-0 at home to a ten man Watford, things can change very quickly sometimes in football but they can also carry on getting worse as we have experienced in recent seasons.
