Match Day Thread Saints V Burnley, Sunday 4th April, 12pm - Sky Sports

One of our worst 30 mins of the season followed by possibly our best 60 mins of the season. We actually played well in a second half!!

Should have scored at least six, let alone the three.

Redmond won't have many better games (my MOTM). Bednarek won't have many worse.

 

I think we turned this match around nicely. It was a hard slog at some points but I think Burnley could have been turned over more substantially if we had taken our chances. With the Fulham result going out way and a ten point gap now opened up, I don;t think we need to be concerned with relegation and will be safe this season.

The lamb was a great success. Cooked in cumin, cumin seeds, garlic, cinnamon, turmeric and dried rose petals. The dressing was made from lime juice, coriander, mint and chillies. The lamb just fell off the bone. No mustelids were harmed in the process of preparing this dinner.

 

I just dipped into pages 9-11.... fecking hell

Some of you really are bizarre. Glad I decided to leave my phone in a different room while watching the game.

When Saints used to go behind or concede a goal when I was at games, I’d start singing or shouting loud encouragement at the team. Get them going if possible.

Some should really hang their heads.

 

I worry how some people cope in the real world. I hope it is just an anonymous forum. If not there are a lot of unnecessarily depressed people in the world.


EDIT: that sounds real condescending. It isn't meant to be. Just that life is what you make it. And how you see it.

 

Maybe the negative posters have such a happy, almost blissful, existence outside of football supporting that the only way they can maintain any sort of hold on reality is to be really pessimistic about Saints' chances of ever winning anything. This may also indicate that the happy clappers amongst us have a worringly desolate existence, and this Saints forum is our only way of raising even the glimmer of a smile. Either way, WE ARE STAYING UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

So like this post.....I belong to the never-say-die brigade as well, even when I know in my heart we're going to lose I can't admit it to myself....and I've never left a match early.....never booed a Saints player and always optimistic about the next game....to me that's what supporting a team is all about.

 

I'm with you, except there is one game i left early. That first 9-0. Left at half time at 5-0. I can try mitigation, but the fact was it was a wet Friday and I live 25 miles away in Bournemouth and I just knew I would make no difference.

Normally I am the one who thinks 3-0 down with 5 mins to play is an opportunity, but that day I just knew.

I do genuinely feel I have let you all down, but being positive has its limits

 

I mean, I doubt the players are reading Not606 at the HT interval ... so it doesn't really matter what we say. (i do get your point though!)

Only time I ever turned on the team in the flesh was at FT of the 9-0 leicester game (literally stayed to the end to beat the traffic, and there were no ferries home till after full-time) ... went down to the tunnel and hurled abuse at every single one of them It's also my last memory of Yoshida, which saddens me still to this day.

 

I must admit I'm beginning to think that Ralph is exactly the right person for this situation.

 

..Sorry chilcs, I know how much you dislike her

 

I would have to be honest that I do not believe that Ralph should be judged on this season. I think that the issues with Covid have frustrated what he would have achieved otherwise. He has had instances where the highs have been incredible but where the lows have also been very difficult to accept. It has not been a "real" season. The negative factors have been issues over which he has had little control.

 

Damn you Ian by ruining the conversation by being sensible

 

Nope.

 

None needed.

 

I’m negative win lose or draw so I feel that I’m not included in the criticism

 

I do believe page 9 (me included) should be preserved for every matchday.

And by matchday I mean the one we have - not a day early or a week early like Vin means
