Do they have a better squad ?In the end Southampton have a better squad than us and should be up there challenging for the automatics
When they claim Frank Lampard is a shit Stephen Gerrard it’s controversial. The claim Will Still was a shit Igor Tudor is less so
That challenge was horrendous. Right in front me. Could have been a serious injury.On the floor more than Norwich were, the panel should be looking at the Matsuka challenge on Eccles.
I don't necessarily agree they have th ebetter squad, but I don't think we were the better team, either.Do they have a better squad ?
They are 20 points behind us and we were the better team
Also we were the better team down there 11v11
Everyone involved in football players, coaches,fans has double standards.Its ok when their team cheats.time waste foul.etc but when it's done to them they cry like a spoilt child who can't get their own wayI'm sure if you took an appropriate still shot of it, it wouldn't look particularly great.
You can't praise your own team
for smashing someone off the ball 4 seconds into a match, then cry about questionable tactics from another team...... although its par for the course for most football fans.
I generally agree with alot of things you post .. but il leave you with thisI don't necessarily agree they have th ebetter squad, but I don't think we were the better team, either.
They had the luck in the game, but you earn luck, and I don't think we did enough to earn ours. A draw would have been a better reflection on the play, but still, I didn't think our second half performance was great and I've no real complaints about the result.
It’s hard to believe but yes the stats back you up! I thought we only really started playing in the last 10 minutes and 2-3 of our big chances were then if I remember correctly? Thought Saints despite the usual tactics/timewasting etc deserved the win. The referees performance left a lot to be desired. This is a referee who the PGMOL have eyes on and has already made his debut in the Premier League.I generally agree with alot of things you post .. but il leave you with this
We obviously had more possession and shots , More Big chances , Double the amount of touches in their box , higher expected goals , 2x as many shots on target and 5x as many crosses into the box
I felt like we were the better side their keeper was motm
Unfortunately, this is modern football. Teams come away from home with an aim to stop the opposition playing, sometimes even literally. As I'm sure everyone knows, this is not exclusive to Southampton, and us being top means most teams will come to the CBS with this mentality.
"We need to learn the dark arts"So just to clarify when we shithouse it's the best thing since sliced bread . When others do it to us it's the worst thing ever ?
Ref was too weak and allowed it , stronger ref and he nips it in the bud .
Threads like these don't show us in a good light
YupBoth are sending offs and they both fucking scored.
True, but what I'm trying to get out is there is now a lack of subtly to so-called "game management" in modern football.I don't know how old you are mate, but I can assure this isn't a new phenomenon
Are you forgetting Norwich?They were the cheatingest team I’ve seen this year but also the ref was weak as fuck and they just did what they could get away with. The simulated head injury and constant time wasting was pathetic though.
I agree, we were the better team against a good team.A draw was a minimum we deserved. Not our day but a good performance.I generally agree with alot of things you post .. but il leave you with this

Yea thats football southampton took their chancesI agree, we were the better team against a good team.A draw was a minimum we deserved. Not our day but a good performance.
They're only sending offs if there's VAR.Both are sending offs and they both fucking scored.
But we gave two cheap goals away and missed very presentable chances. I don't think you can say we were the better team when that happens.I generally agree with alot of things you post .. but il leave you with this

Opinions i guessBut we gave two cheap goals away and missed very presentable chances. I don't think you can say we were the better team when that happens.
Second half, I thought they defended the box well for the most part, until it became panicked at the end.
Their player should be banned for the way he rolled around pretending to have a head injury. I really hope they miss out on promotion, they're a nasty bunch and their fans are bellends in general.They were the cheatingest team I’ve seen this year but also the ref was weak as fuck and they just did what they could get away with. The simulated head injury and constant time wasting was pathetic though.
I think Norwich at home were far worseThey were the cheatingest team I’ve seen this year but also the ref was weak as fuck and they just did what they could get away with. The simulated head injury and constant time wasting was pathetic though.
I hated the tactics today and really don't like the dark arts.
But at least I am consistent. I hate it when we do it too.
Something needs to be done
Middlesbrough and Leeds used to be masters of the dark arts and time wasting footballit’s far cleaner as a game than it was in the 80’s
he was sent off you wallyWhen Dasilva did the same I don’t think he was accused on here by keg breaking dirty tactics and his was more obvious
Weren’t Leeds famous for it in the 70s? I’m pretty sure Wimbledon were aswell.I don't know how old you are mate, but I can assure this isn't a new phenomenon
what does that have to do with anything lolit’s far cleaner as a game than it was in the 80’s
I'm pretty sure everyone agreed it was a terrible tackle and that the red card was correct.When Dasilva did the same I don’t think he was accused on here by keg breaking dirty tactics and his was more obvious
I've never witnessed such passionately blatant time wasting - and from so early on in the game in my life.I think Norwich at home were far worse
Harwood-Bellis is Roy Keanes son-in-law and even he thought he was a twat.Possibly the most egregious moment in the game was their centre-half rolling on the floor clutching his face following no contact whatsoever. I felt a bit embarrassed for him, tbh.
That challenge was horrendous. Right in front me. Could have been a serious injury.
How many times have we complained about cr@p referees and this knob takes charge
Needs sorting big time
