:pl: :saints: Southampton v Everton :evertonfc:

That was still better than the egg chasing
2 kicks & you gucked it up.
Cricket time

Just caught up with my gardener, another long suffering Saints fan. His reaction was that our impending 20 games undefeated will move us nicely up the table. :+1::+1:

I think he’s started drinking again, if I’m honest. :smile:

So, did I miss much?

In other news Leatherhead lost to Raynes Park 0:1 :lou_sad:

2 game winning streak

Nah…

Aussie Saints match report

SAS Match Report v Everton

  • We head into this game full of confidence off the back of a winning streak of 1, which just happens to be the same amount of Premier League points we’ve accumulated after 9 games. One.

  • Having crunched the numbers on my 1993 Christmas Present; the faded yet still colourful abacus, it tells me that we’re on track for a four point season. I’m not entirely convinced that’s enough to stay up, but you never know. Anyway, enough about my pregame ramblings, you’re here for a match report.

  • The first half gets underway and In well-fertilized soil, most grass species will begin emerging within only 8-10 days after seeding. In a single day, healthy grass can grow a maximum of around 1/5 of an inch. In a week, well maintained grass grows roughly 1 inch if the soil meets ideal conditions.

Half time: 0-0

  • The second half kicks off without Adam Lallana, who is replaced by Joe Aribo. We’re told it’s a tactical sub, assuming tactical now stands for ā€˜30 minutes of his absolute best, followed by running slower than someone evading a subconscious fear in their dream’

Calvert-Lewin is also subbed off, which is a decent effort for a bloke who wasn’t even playing.

  • It’s much of the same to start the second half with plenty of possession (yep), but no real end product (double yep). On the hour mark the game steps up a gear with the arrival of T-Dib (a nicname we’re trialing in an attempt to be cool and engage with the young generation, which I’ve just worked out is pointless because this is being posted on Facebook)

  • Without much action at the attacking end, Ramsdale thought he’d help out whoever has to put together the highlight packages by pulling off a contender for Save of the Season. The sort of stunning save that makes you wonder why on earth he signed for us. We don’t know why, but we’re happy you did, Aaron.

  • The game has now shifted from a probably be 0-0 to it’s only a matter of time before someone concedes and it looks like it might be us when Bednarek, with no other option, takes out Beto. A smart yellow, nothing more. Hang on a sec, they’ve just cut to two blokes in what looks to be their mum’s basement, sat on gaming chairs in their PJs. Best league in the world? Please.

  • Having been inspired by Aaron Ramsdale’s effort, the crossbar - who grew up with posters of Antti Niemi on its wall - made a stunning reaction save to keep it at 0-0. Can’t believe it signed for us…

  • While Everton players are stood wondering how they’re not beating Derby 2.0, Suga and AA decide it’s time to do something a bit different, like win a Premier League game. Crazy concept, I know. Lovely cross and a cool finish from the man who can’t put things on top of his fridge. 1-0 Saints. You can trust us with this lead.

  • Update: you can’t. 1-1 Everton.
    Looks offside though. However there’s a 5 minute delay as the two basement boys are deep in a Call of Duty game. We patiently wait as they finish up and then finally load up Microsoft Paint to draw some lines.

  • Disallowed. Full time. Back to your gaming fellas.

  • We actually won.

Is Marting Morphing into Jethro?

Jethro would make more sense

The huge arsehole about this win will be that Martin will see it as a vindication of his trust in our ā€œidentityā€ and ā€œphilosophyā€

Basically he will learn nothing and the same fare will be served up for the rest of the season

comment from Martin on the BBC.

I love being here and I want to drag it out for as long as I can.

he is not going of his own accorrd.

We are going to win every game? Cool :grinning:

He means we’re going to doggedly keep the ball for 80% of the game, produce two shots on target from it and pray that one goes in, while hoping that the post, crossbar, VAR team and a couple of worldies from Ramsdale somehow combine against all the odds to blag us a clean sheet. :sunglasses:

This. All season long

Seems fair - he seems to be going sideways and backwards a lot

It is the way to play football now.

Now he just needs to get the players to keep mpving forwards when we get to halfway line

When Everton pressed sometimes they used 6 players we broke that a few times but had no idea what to do next except play ball to Archer 40 yards out.

It is almost there, it might work WHEN they stop going backwards from halfway

That’s not the problem its when they get it to the eighteen yard line and don’t bloody shoot and then go back to our goalkeeper is the problem.
