Comment | Southampton V Leeds United The Wembley Play off Preview
at 13:42:10
My ten pence worth is that the team selection that wins on Sunday is the one that started the Leeds away game assuming C.A. is fit to start. Five at the back that day seemed to neutralise Leed's best players - their wingers.
What ever happens - promise me one thing:
NO PENALTY SHOOT OUT!!!!!

In the unlikely event that anyone knows of a spare ticket.......I'd bite a hand off.
Despite qualifying for a ticket I spent all of Monday being told 'computer says No!'
Eventually got through on the phone to be told 'we've just sold out"!
Agggghhhh.

In all the euphoria of of that magical Friday night I wonder if we are going to hear from all those who have spent so much time and energy moaning over the course of what has already been an astonishing and entertaining season and isn't finished yet.
Yes you - the football experts who know Russel Martin doesn't know what he's doing and you - the cod psychiatrists who know we haven't got any leaders and you the talent spotters who know Jack Stephens is no good.
All together now:
'You're not singing, you're not singing.............'
Criticism is valid, moaning is bad for you and more importantly in this context the team! |

I have to disagree!
Where does this trope(or you could say tripe) about 'having the best squad in the league' come from? Where is your evidence? My guess is that fans of Leeds and Leicester repeat the same delusion.
Furthermore, how come this invention about a lack of leadership has surfaced now - where was it when we were winning 21 games in a row? And what an irony - we put in one of our worst performances when Jack Stephens IS'NT playing!! One more thing: Please move on from the bleating about winning 'if only we had converted our chances' - football matches are won by goals not chances. Our forwards are good but not good enough. The table does not lie, accept a bit a realism. We are not the best side in the league and thats OK. It seems to me we are doing pretty well despite that. |

Jack Stephens -An Appreciation.
Did you know that Jack has played under 18/19/21 football for his country? Did you know he has played 137 Premiership games - how could that have happened if he's as useless as some of you believe? Where he was picked by managers like Ronald Koeman, Ralf Hasenhutll, Mauricio Pochethino? Have you ever stoped to consider how many other players in the championship can say that? Have you conveniently forgotten he has in this season alone provided assists ,cleared balls off the line and made numerous last ditch tackles. Including yesterday when I thought he was superb. Heres some another questions for all you arm chair sofa coaches:
Have any of you played professional football.....didn't think so. Have any of you got coaching badges .....no? But somehow you seem to know he's better than this one or that one or shouldn't play at all. This site (and life) relies on opinions but I know whose I believe in ... and he's at the training ground each day and not on sitting on a couch. Finally, If you so badly need a scapegoat go for a run or kick the cat(actually don't do that) but FFS he's our captain - give the guy a break and actually SUPPORT the 'Saints'.

I too thought Jack Stephens played well. Similarly I thought the team were really impressive for most of the game. Away to the league leaders and making them look average for 3/4 of the match.
A draw was probably the fairest result but football often isn't fair.
For my money the manager is talented and imaginative and time(i.e the play offs) will confirm this.
Keep the faith.

To go along side such mysteries as how did the universe begin and what killed the dinosaurs may I add:
How did Adam Armstrong get 28 goals in a season?
How did Sekou Mara get picked for France under 21?
How did Mislav Orsic find himself playing in a world cup semi final? |
