Vodka bar is next door. No bins. Meanwhile lot of respect for giving them a tough game from dippers
Yep, see my later post. Where was MLT? - actually on a golf course probably.
Was listening to a stream on CBS in first half and it was balanced. Sky are cunts - I may have had a few sherries tbhâŠ
Iâm sure thatâs everything occupying the playersâ minds
Iâm sure thereâs some institutional bias on account of all those glory hunters from the 1970s and 80s, but truth be told, commentators willed Leicester to victory in their unexpected year of victory, and theyâve no real universal following.
Football commentary is not the same thing as football. Commentators are no longer commentating.
For that reason, they prefer stories, even if they turn out not to be true at the end of the season, because it saves them the bother of actually thinking.
Team that won the league loads of times but has never won the Premier League is a story. Really donât think it goes much deeper than that.
Thinking about it, drunkenly. No bins. Loads of Bin Dippers. Stand on a table and piss all over them. Let us know where youâd like the Sotonians wreath delivered for the funeral serviceâŠ
Edit: corrected to make sense
Still annoying cunts that ruin it for the opposing teams though - who are paying for the âprivilegeâ of watching via Sky. Surely thatâs not right?
Anyway, Young Adult #1 has just got back from Uni for Easter- best go say hello before Mrs C_S rips me a new one.
Tomorrowâs another day
Nothing worse than getting up at 4:30am and having to endure a Henderson goal
Well, you have the rest of the day to do something useful- weâre off to be shortly- not all Sotonians together obviously (shudder)
Yes, I shall be doing something useful. Not sure what that is yet or if Mrs SaintDave has a cunning plan I do not know about
Well, if you were watching the game you should have been drinking, which rules out driving, which means something gentle like cutting the lawn or similar stuff. If you werenât drinkingâŠsorry, that does not computeâŠ
I said before the game that there was no way Saints were ever banking on anything from this fixture, so I am relatively chilled about the result. We played some decent stuff, and probably should have gone 2-0 up by half-time.
I know we played very defensively at times, looking to counter, and I know that we lost, but what I like about Saints under Hasenhuttl is that we have a plan. It didnât work tonight, but it almost did.
Second half, we did everything we could to frustrate. Time-wasting on 54 minutes. Ten men behind most balls. A couple of our players suddenly being very injured and suddenly okay.
It would have worked, but we got caught out when we moved onto the next phase of the plan, trying to get them in the last 10 minutes of the game.
Salahâs goal tipped the balance, and while I stand by my statement that âit was just like one of my PES through ball goalsâ, it was pretty much the only thing we were going to get caught out by. They came down and did the same thing when they beat us 3-0.
The counter to a high press is to get it the fuck out of your world and into theirs. Thatâs exactly how we got done 3-0 back in the day. Tonight, we swarmed at the wrong time, got swarmed back; the rest is history and their other goal is garnish.
Yeah, I canât really share your hatred for scousers or enthusiasm for bin dipping.
I live in Liverpool, have fathered two scousers and have to put the bins out.
If people were eating out of my bins, Iâd have a much easier time getting the fuckers out of a Thursday night.
Itâs not hatred fella, just egging @Polski_Filip into doing something that
- might get him killed
- May lead to an extended stay in hospital
- was filmed and posted on the internet and 1) & 2) happened but there is the alternative 3) everyone laughed and slapped him on the shoulder and bought him drinks for the rest of the night and regardless @Polski_Filip âs estate made loads of royaltiesâŠ
@Polski_Filip lived in a state where you can get beheaded for whistling on a Tuesday.
He will not fall for your ruse.
Gentle yes, like a becks and lay down. Anything above that is far too much effort atm
Fucking scouse cunts, we hates them.
Please for the love of fuck let city win the league
Had a real go at the cunt early leavers tonightâŠfuckinâ streaming out so when they stopped to watch a free kick we chorused⊠GOâŠFUCK OFFâŠDONâT STOPâŠDONâT PRETEND YOUâRE INTERESTEDâŠJUST FUCK OFF YOU TURNCOAT BASTARDS.
I felt better after that.
As to the two twats who lobbed bottles at Allison at the end, fuck off out of our club you cunts
Disappointed at the result, very pleased with the performance. Letâs face it - loathe them or loathe them even more, Liverpool a very good side. They wouldnât be where they are otherwise.
For the first half we were more than a match for them, and were probably better value than 1-1 at half time suggested. We defended well, used the ball well, and gave them an awful lot to think about. Our goal came from a really excellent move, theirs owed a great deal to luck. So it goes - they all count one way or another.
Second half we looked fine until they got their second, after which we were chasing the game while at the same time running out of steam. Not a good combination. On balance, from having simply watched the game and without a clue about stats etc., Iâd say that a draw would have been a pretty fair result. I certainly wouldnât have called it a 3-1 match. On another night that would have been a 2-2 draw, or one side or the other would have scraped a win.
But compare it to our home game against them last season, which felt as if we were pretty much content to avoid a complete stuffing. Liverpool won that game at a canter (actually, they scarcely broke out of a trot). They werenât bothered about what we might do, as we did nothing. They didnât have to put much effort into getting their goals; we didnât make much effort on their part necessary. Tonight was nothing like that.
Still pissed off that we lost, but as the old clichĂ© has it weâll play a lot worse than that and win. Not tonight though, sadly.
Really enjoyed that. The after party was a mess & involved chicks, so can still go to Bruneii.
As the dipperssaid we gave them a game. Fuck its was Friday Iâm pickled
