drama queens out in force again , "if we play like we did in the 1st half we will get hammered" we got an early goal , stood off them ,let them play tippy tappy football , then took them to the cleaners . its well known saints are a 30 minute team , they cant press the oppostion for 90 minutes , MP got his tactics spot on again , its about time some posters on here , gave him the credit due . We will do the same at klanfield let them come at us all guns blazing and pick them off when they have run out of steam , cant believe the negativity of some city "fans".

We can make the difference, at times the players must wonder are the fuck we bothered at their efforts because you can always hear the loud groans at a miss placed pass or control.
Thought he was giving it back to the fans who had been moaning at one or two of his misplaced passes. Seemed a bit of venom in it.
At first he was making hand gestures as if to say 'mouthing off' but then he followed it up with lifting his arms as if to say come on make some noise. He definitely looked pumped up.

Re: Southampton post match thread
Don't be silly - on another day with different refereeing decisions things could have turned out different. Goals change games and we got a break with the second. I'm over the moon we won but we can't afford to switch off in games for 40 mins like we did in the first half.jay_mcfc said:Let them take all the plaudits with their Munich esque football, the unfortunate second goal and their phenomenal amount of possession. I'll take the 3 points, +3GD ad the clinical, professional game we just played. Could have been any number, even double figures in the end.
If teams want to pressure us like that they better take a 2 or 3 goal lead and do it for 90 minutes because sooner or later we will pick them off and they will will tire. Once we hit 2nd and 3rd gear they could do nothing to stop us.

In the end, Navas created a goal and it could have been easily two assists if Negredo's finish would have been better, but I agree with you, he was a bit poor today with his decisions. Actually, very poor in the first 50-60 minutes or so. Certainly not a 'great' performance, nor a rubbish one.
By his standars, maybe too many errors, but still he had a solid game I think.

Decent result against a decent side but they're being given way too much credit - for all their possession they never looked like scoring - in fact I could have played in net in my heels today and it wouldn't have made a jot of difference to the scoreline.
Atmosphere was poor, for a so called sell out there seemed to be a lot of empty seats. I don't want us to become like the red dippers celebrating winning the league prematurely, getting the flares out to welcome the team bus and all that nonsense..........................but that MUST give the players a massive lift and can't help their cause<br /><br />-- Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:09 pm --<br /><br />Decent result against a decent side but they're being given way too much credit - for all their possession they never looked like scoring - in fact I could have played in net in my heels today and it wouldn't have made a jot of difference to the scoreline.

Garbage. We didn't control anything in the first half. You make it sound like some kind off master plan. It wasn't and had saints been better at finishing we would have paid the price. You can't afford to turn off for 40 minutes and then turn up for the next phase of the game. On another day we could have paid the price and this thread would have been in meltdown. As it is we've got complacent Johnies like you all over it like a rash.gmckennasell said:drama queens out in force again , "if we play like we did in the 1st half we will get hammered" we got an early goal , stood off them ,let them play tippy tappy football , then took them to the cleaners . its well known saints are a 30 minute team , they cant press the oppostion for 90 minutes , MP got his tactics spot on again , its about time some posters on here , gave him the credit due .
