I won't let this club ruin me.
I call him "Royale with cheese", and my pet name for Stevie B is "Burger van".
Except back then we were rarely even getting into positions worth blowing.....
Dogshit performance all in all. The Royale with cheese needs taking out of the firing line.
On the plus side, the club is improving despite the odd bad performance and 3 weeks ago we pulled of one of the greatest comebacks of all time. Take the rough with the smooth.
Also, Southampton fans were terrible tonight. Woeful support

What is now abundantly clear to the rest of the league. It doesn’t matter how crap you are, turn up with energy and tenacity and you will blow this spurs team away
We are still tied for 4th in a points per game. Obviously today was a set back but claiming 7th is more likely than 4th is reactionary.
Go back to September, it was obvious then that a midfield of Hojbjerg & Winks, supported by Royal would lose more games than they won.
Look back 6 weeks & a team with 9 of the same players, with winks and Hojbjerg again in the midfield, and recall a team that failed to break down a ten man Southampton side.
That we are here really is fucking tragic. And that performance tonight was very predictable, because the absolute minimum was done to sort this shit out, it is fury inducing.
where the money go ? you fucking thief.
And how come Adams acted like he was shot laid on the turf for over 5 minutes and resurrected like Jesus to score ? And 6 subs = 1 minute stoppage time ?

It’s almost as if for the last two years you’ve been posting as someone else??
Bad form old chap
We don’t do that sort of thing here
And please don’t believe the rumours that I used to post as a woman called Beryl
It's almost like THFC is a side project for Levy & co, and it's all about getting more NFL, and concerts at our stadium; I feel your frustation brother.Go back to September, it was obvious then that a midfield of Hojbjerg & Winks, supported by Royal would lose more games than they won.

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts
I honestly can’t think of one manager past or present that would get a tune out of this shower
Conte has performed miracles getting us where we are
At the rate that we do transfers, there is honestly not going to be enough windows for us to get rid of all the trash in this squad before Conte leaves.
How many years will it take before the like of Winks, Hojbjerg, Royal, Doherty, Sanchez, Davies, Reguilon and Dier are all gone? The world might have ended before that day comes.

First off, it has to be said, Southampton are a fucking tough side to play against. Outside of ManC they are the hardest pressing team in the PL - at least for the first 45 minutes of games. Outside of City they are the side I least enjoy playing against right now.
They do tend to run out of puff a bit second halves, but they are still are really tricky opponent, and if they had better quality footballers all over the pitch they would be duking it out up the 3-6th place IMO.
Everyone's bitching and whining about our defenders (me included), but tactically we should expect better from Conte than that first half - it's not like they didn't do exactly the same in the away game before they lost a man.
Generally speaking Conte's has improved what we are doing without the ball, but tonight we were shoddy and his selections and tactics didn't help. He should have started us in the 352, given us more ability to play out and pressure them when trying to play through us, he could then switch to 343 later of needed.
Second half they ran out puff, as the tend to do, and we got on top, scored a great goal, and then pissed it away with some really fucking lazy play, allowing JWP time and space twice to chuck in decent balls into our box, but we should be able to defend "crosses" better - generally we have been under Conte. All three goals our defenders - all of them - were fucking about.
I think on the balance of the chances/game a draw would have been fair (the X/G's agree 1.74 us v 1.73 them) but I can't grumble at losing either, the manner in which we lost control after taking the lead was piss poor.
Romero's great at charging out but I was less than impressed by some of his defending in our box. Davies, Sanchez, Emerson and Reguilon all did plenty of sloppy shit. So many times I see our defenders marking "space" not people in dangerous situations (and Dier's even worse for this). but make no mistake this is not just about defenders - it's about how we defended as a team.
