I see the writer, who also claimed that the Ted Bates statue might be taken down because of a paedophile connection, claims he lives in the 'Greater Portsmouth' area. Where have we heard that before?
Daniel Sheldon
Southampton FC reporter for The Athletic
Greater Portsmouth Area
Not an ideal person to be reporting on Saints. | |

He’s not wrong though. | | | |

I guess he just wants to makes sure referees stop it and give Saints' opponents all the help he can. Fair enough.

It has been widely known for ages that we do this. And we are just average fans
I am certain our opponents clocked this before we did. I doubt the Athletic have given anything away | |

Yes, as most have already said, we have been doing this for ages and I'm surprised it has taken so long for the media to latch onto it.
The thing is, it is nothing new. Teams have been taking tactical intervention breaks for years. If a team is really on top, then it is common that an opposition player will require the magic sponge treatment, just to break the play up a bit and give his team time to regroup.
Teams such as Wolves do similar things - but their tactics are mainly to feign injury in order to get opposition players booked, or more commonly, to waste time. | |

That's an unusual sentence. Quite reminiscent of a former poster on here though. I believe you to be the artist formerly known as UTS! :) | |

Going to ground to grab a breather, take up time or break up the flow is nothing new to this club or any others. The fact that Broja is such a physical, confrontational player makes it easy for him to take a bump and spend a while to recover.
As pointed out elsewhere, some players are trying to get others carded or sent off, which really is despicable. The fact that Wolves are loaded with Portugese players would account for the activity probably (no racism intended here, haha) it is a routine part of the game in their home country. | |

What a thought provoking article!!!!! 
So he's being paid to write an article that says we have a "plan" and it doesn't work as we've conceded more goals than scored at a certain time in the game. I'm sure Ralph will now completely rethink his game strategies for the future
Now is Ted Bates still standing in front of SMS or have the anti statue brigade pulled it down and thrown it in the River Itchen | | | |

Thiswas brought up on US EPL coverage a couple of months ago. If Higginbotham can figure it out it is pretty obvious.
