On one of the run-in threads I ‘predicted’ that we could lose to Wrexham if promotion was wrapped up early. Their away form has been pretty bad of late so we should still be expecting a win.
The bottom line is for Lampard and the team is the professional standards they set. Yes, we’ve won the...
Southampton and Norwich fans should take heed of this young man:
The absolute is clear: we won the league without breaking much of a sweat. Mission ‘HMS Piss The League’ accomplished.
Exactly, for all the Southampton fans saying ‘what if Eckert started the season’, we could equally say the same about signings we made in Jan, particularly Onyeka.
We’ve lost one game since he joined and the draws I’m pretty confident would’ve been wins if weren’t cruising to the title.
It’s also objectively a bullshit claim. Teams have won the league with 81 points in the past and teams winning promotion straight from L1. Under Lampard we also hit traditional automatic promotion form last season too, just not on track for 100+ points. Most seasons, Sheff U’s 92 points see them...
100% get it, I remember hugging a stranger when Bellingham scored v Slovakia - 3-4 of us hadn’t even exchanged words throughout the game.
The grabbing and pulling down the stranger and the beer throwing can get in the bin.
My personal experience of beer in the stands has been great so far and...
To be fair, Southampton beat them twice so they would say that. If Southampton fail to beat Ipswich, they’ve bottled because the only Top 6 team they would’ve beaten this side of New Year would be us and Wrexham. Had they got better results v Boro, Millwall and Hull (even draws for Boro/Hull)...
Take your point but it’s all forced anyway, I’ve been elbowed/hit in the head at least 2-3 times from a random when we’ve scored.
Or WBA away, some randomer tried to pull me down when we scored…
I get that but England fans away are relatively well behaved where alcohol is permitted. Even if it was low alcohol options (or something).
It’s chicken and egg imo. Alcohol is banned because of anti-social behaviour, but alcohol being banned in the stands creates a culture where fans drink...
Conveniently clips out the 15 game start to the season where our record was 10-4-1.
Southampton’s current form is the best stretch to date, to be fair. However, we’ve been coasting to winning the league so we could draw where Southampton needed to win.
I genuinely believe we’d have beaten...
I agree, the beer in stadiums is great in Europe. The lack of beer in the stands has created a binge drinking culture pre/post match as people get tanked up for the game.
I’m looking forward to the season ending! It’s been a long season in a positive way for the club and fans. I’m on course for 48/49 games this season so my wallet and liver needs a break too!
Roll on the World Cup and Premier League football!
He’ll sign a contract extension and I genuinely believe he is invested in the project and from his personal POV, much more cautious about his next steps.
