Very amusing and droll to the point of beautiful satire!,

So we all agree that our central defensive positions need strengthening during the transfer window. Who should we make an offer for from the three relegated sides? |

Comment | Saints At Manchester United The Verdict
at 17:59:25
Despite a two nil defeat at Old Trafford, I came away with the reflection that on this performance the rest of the season augurs well. After all, Saints won't be up against Man. Utd every week and against most teams, with a similar performance, they will be able to more than hold their own.
Saints took the game to United from the kick off and maintained that approach for the whole game. Other than a defensive error and a very unfortunate penalty decision, Saints could have very easily come away with a point, or even a smash and grab three. Fonte made a rare mistake when he failed to challenge Ibrahamovich effectively to deny him a free head on goal. If Forster had read the developing situation, maybe he could have got a hand to it, though maybe I'm being too harsh on him. Initially it looked like a clumsy error and unnecessary error by Clasie that resulted with trip on Ex-Saint, Luke Shaw. With the benefit of a slow motion replay, it emerged that Shaw has managed to trip himself up without any contact from Clasie.
On the plus side Van Dyke, Targett, Davis and Hojbjerg had excellent games. Contrary to Nick's view, I thought less impressive displays were given by Redmond, Tadic and Long. Though in their defence they were rarely given the opportunity to profit from quality service. Puel can return to the south coast to analyse the game and learn a lot about his players and hopefully address some of the glaring issues afflicting the team.
Now the forthcoming game at home to Sunderland takes on extra importance as Saints go in search of their first win of the season. Four points from their first three games will look a lot healthier than one point from three games. No need to hit the panic buttons, take the positives from the United defeat and let's go and beat Sunderland comprehensively |

Workmanlike performance from Saints who had Rodriguez to thank for his brave determination and the consequent three points. |

Try playing Ricky up front by himself as a target and holding man when we are away from home. Bring on Osvaldo during the second half, if we need him. |

Great job to keep it going for 25 years. As a Saints fan going back to he days of Terry Paine and now living in the USA, I much prefer your articles to the sanitized stuff from the official website.
Thanks for all that you do. |
