Match Day Thread West Ham v Saints, Saturday 29th Feb 2020, 3pm

Poor Villa. We really ruined their week.

 

I really think 3 points will do it

 

SFA

 

Close

 

Newcastle next init? Don't think they've won a league match down here since the 70's.


Point there and a win at Norwich = Job done.

 

Still closer to the pitch than the people in the stadium though...

 

I would guess he didn’t want to break up a winning side (other than enforced changes) and to reward Smallbone for his performance last week. I get the psychology of that, if not the tactics.

 

That’s six goals we’ve conceded in my two visits to effing Stratford. I’m not going again.

 

Don't think they've won a league match down here since the 70's.
------------------

Collective sigh from the whole board!

 

So, another week's wait until we qualify for Europe. Ah well.

 

OK .

 

Should have done that from the start, in hindsight. We looked a better side with JWP and Bertrand further up the pitch. It was too late by then though, really.

 

Another match in which we'll have more than 50% possession. Another match where we won't be able to utilise our pressing game. Can't wait...

Just fast forward to the Norwich and Arsenal games please.

 

2016 they won here.

 

It might surprise everyone to know I'm still worried

 

No they didn't p- https://www.11v11.com/teams/newcastle-united/tab/opposingTeams/opposition/Southampton/



I was wrong though as they did win here in 2004 - last league win here before that was 1972!


It's like us and Arsenal.

 

You are not alone !

 

Not criticising, each to their own. But I just cannot see it - it is possible, but highly unlikely.

 

Nice that the clubs have set ticket prices accordingly too.

 

Points that the 18th placed team has got over the last 7 seasons.

We are on 34 at the moment with 10 to play....
