Apart from when he played for a top 6 team last season
was literally going to say the same thing. That saints song is horrendous, do they think it’s something special singing it so slow … makes me want to vomit every time they started (about 17/20 times they actually sang).
Defended well first half but the rest of our game was poor
Much better second half it’s robins way
That's fair, I think.
Nothing about bandwagons or anything though, but I did think he was poor, first half in particular. Touch was awful.
One giant leap for mankind suggested get him in the box on the end of crosses though!
Russell Martin, what a pr*ck. Running over to the away fans prior to kick off., and then spending the match berating the officials. Glad we don't play like Soton. Passing it to death, but creating very little. We stuck to it last night,, but O'Hare & Sakamoto were not at the levels from Friday, as to be expected. Robins left the subs too late again, as you could see the difference Palmer, Eccles and Dasilva made when they came on. Thought Simms held the ball up well, and Wright much improved.
Could anyone from the safety committee or someone ITK please come on and explain why stewards were trying to block the second set of steps and diverting everyone using them to the ramp.The ones trying to block them did not give a reason.
It certainly wasn't a traffic issue because on reaching the entry R/O the left hand turn was blocked by a cop car so no one could turn down towards Curry's.

Having worked in both cities for a number of years, I can also add that Southampton seem to hate Pompey more than Pompey hates Southampton.
Although Pompey has it's shady areas (like everywhere really), it's a much nicer city than Southampton. And Southampton folk are just weird.
Southampton, for a pure value of team to quality of performance ratio are seriously under performing
Their fans certainly seem to be very self entitled. Maybe another year or two in this league will see them right
Stripey cunts. Just saying, the theory holds.
Couldn’t make the game but fascinating seeing the consensus on Wright start to turn.
It felt disappointing not to win after being a goal up but 1-1 is a good result against a good team. So many of their players have played Premier League football. Because we pushed for the winner late on it felt as if we missed out but they missed a few chances too and could easily have scored a couple. I find them tedious to watch, that endless sideways passing is always described as 'easy on the eye' but I don't really see why, it's just dull. I much prefer a team to get forward quickly when they get the ball which we have been doing since the formation change. Early this season we were holding onto the ball for ages and passing it back to the centre backs, glad to see we've changed. Onwards and upwards....
After our nice move for O'Hare's shot that hit the bar, the Southampton co commentator said "it's not pretty football but it is effective". I disagree with this analysis, I think fast one and two touch direct football is exhilarating and far better than 100 passes gaining 20 yards.

I agree. It was a fantastic passage of play. They had long periods of possession when they achieved nothing.
Just seen our goal again. Didn't appreciate Simms' movement off the ball to drag a defender away to the right just as OHare played the ball in to Wright. Opened up a lot of room .

Did anyone notice that when Eccles took over the corner duties, it was back to normal, as he couldn’t beat the first man ?
they do think they are prime era barca when they are a dull team underperforming their players ability
And the goals were flying in from all the ones beforehand too. I wonder how many Southampton had as it seemed loads.
What a prick. Fuck all pretty about triangles between your CBs and GK
What interested me about their corner's was why their number 3 kept stroking the flag, OCD me maybe
Sheaf put the best one in from memory. He should stay on them
Wasn't that Ryan Manning ? Who we were keen on preseason ? Maybe he's showing he still likes the Sky Blues and is waiting for us to get rid of Bidwell. Which based on Jake's performances this season, ain't happening any time soon
We are gaining form about the same time as last year not sure how many points we had this tie last season and we had that flop in form after the World Cup break.
Using the old football cliche of take each game as it comes and assuming we improve our squad January I see no reason we can’t emulate last season & make top six again this season only 7 points off play-off spots at the moment.
Our run started last season after the West Brom game on the 3rd Feb. (Not sure what game number due to WC)
After that game we lost only once in 18 (home to stoke) the Luton game (which incidentally we didn't lose) was us ending the season losing 1 of the 20 games from West Brom away.
Also, we spent only 6 days (I believe ) inside the top six!
Maybe coincidence but since he’s been captain he looks like he’s trying to find that perfect ball every time, if he cut out those silly passes he’s a quality player
Agree but
And I know we keep going back to this but didn't you say recruitment was dreadful?
Have found many of the Southampton fans on social media to be quite arrogant tbh , especially for a nothing club that's won nothing more than us .. crowing about the ground being too big for us when we're averaging 24000 after 20 years of premier league exile , whilst they average 29 000 having just come down .
And we're averaging more away , weirdos
