Get Off My Land.....
Type Story Title Here |
Get off my Land Was the cry by many Swans fans to all those egg chasing types. The prospect of 20 stone lard arses, tearing up our hallowed turf was one of dread in this part of the world and one of most amusements to the sad acts in the east. However after 3 games off egg and 7 games of football the pitch looks superb and is not causing us a problem at all. Ah yes I hear you cry it is still early days, the rugby season has only just started and the weather will get worse. All fair points, however when you look a bit deeper things do look very promising and here's my reasons why.
There see, it doesn't look so bad now does it, add to that the transparent roof and the great ventilation caused by 15,000 made Jacks singing their hearts out and I firmly believe all our fears and all their hopes up the road will come to nothing. That's all we need now is a little corporate Identity on the exterior of the stadium and in the Riverside lounge and we will be there. JACKFOREVER What to read next:Against Stoke City Russell martin selected a side that was very much a second string line up, with the play offs looming should the manager repeat this for the trip to take on Leeds on Saturday. A big big game for just Leeds now, although by Saturday the odds on them going up automatically might have changed slightly so here is all the info for those travelling Saints fans who are still going, The hope of getting back into the Premier League automatically has long gone, but the season is not yet over and we now have a good chance of getting to Wembley and going up through the play offs, here we look at who we could meet. This should have been a celebratory day for Saints fans, there should have been a feeling of positivity, but the truth is that the fight has been knocked out of the supporter base and we go into the play offs with confidence both on and off the pitch at a low ebb. Southampton 0 - 1 Stoke City - Player Ratings and Reports
If you saw the match, please give us your player ratings and a mini match report. In the second part of our pictorial look back at some of our games against Stoke City from the past, here we look back at more recent games, so most of you would have been at them. We have looked through our photo archives for a look back as some games against Stoke City over the years, what are your memories of these games ? Saints go into the last two games of the season with their hopes of automatic promotion ended, even the hope of finishing 3rd is only a point away from being ended, but they do have something to play for and that is getting back the togetherness, character & fight Russell Martin has recently be moaned. Not my words, but those of Southampton manager Russell Martin, who should ask himself the question why two months ago we had all those attributes and now we don't ! The big question is how can a side that was so tight at the back, so clinical up front and who could pass the ball around almost with their eyes closed, become the disorganised rabble that they were at the Leicester City this evening. |
