Just read Martin's post match interview. The poor lad says he is knackered.
So am I, watching this tippy, tappy crap and constant tinkering with the team. [Post edited 27 Apr 18:45]

Dont forget the 3 shots on target ! Oh, hold on Stoke had 8 and McCarthy made 2 good saves with his legs, otherwise score would have been worse. Another awful limp, abject performance.
I wonder if Martin instructed them to just stand still, p*ss around with it and create nothing as that is what it looked like. [Post edited 27 Apr 17:04]

Was Wilcox instrumental in bringing Martin in ? It's been a while and a few bottles of wine since last Summer when he was appointed, I can't remember. |

Spot on. I was thinking exactly the same. Brooks has been useless since Wales failed to qualify. |

Nick, I agree with your comments about McCarthy and how defence play with him in the sticks, but to say it is not about possession football I disagree with.
We did clear ball a lot more, but still messed around with it in middle of park going side to side and back. We had 66% possession and not a single shot on target ?
Adams didn't even have a touch in their penalty box !
How many time have we lost to teams who only have 30% possession, last night was not a one off, it has been brewing for months. Martins obsession with stats and possession has to change. |

I am guessing Nick hasn't posted the 'Players' rating page up as there is no point ?
Did anyone, really get more than 2/10 ? Not 1 player looked interested or was up for that game last night. The players and Management should all be ashamed and reimburse all those fans who went to the game. Fortunately, I couldn't get a ticket, which was a blessing.
Martin's comments after the game just compounded my thoughts about this guys arrogance. He is taking us all for mugs, with his post match assessment. I can't recall being this hacked off about a manager since the Ian Branfoot days.
Losing is fine, but show a but a character and effort. |

Martin is absolutely deluded. Comments like this are insulting to our intelligence and anyone who watched the game.
That game is up there as one of the worst games I have seen. Players looked like they didn't have a clue, or even want to be there.
I am only hoping that this causes some sort of reaction and players start speaking out and challenging this ineffective style of play Martin has forced on the team. |

We have rules to enter our country legitimately and the Government has to do something about the illegal entries. Many of those entering are 'economic' migrants and not fleeing persecution.
If they are genuine migrants, I hope their applications are dealt with promptly and fairly.
If, as many of them claim, that they have been persecuted, and their lives were at risk, surely they would be happy to have reached a safe country like France, (or any other central European county they have travelled through ? ) Why would they then put their lives at risk again to cross the Channel from a safe country in an overloaded dingy ?
To answer your question, I do think this is a last throw of the dice by the Tories to address immigration and sway some voters, as this is still a hot topic ahead of the general election. [Post edited 23 Apr 12:47]

I can see the logic holding it near Manchester, but it comes down to capacity. Both sides will undoubtedly moan about their allocation of tickets, after corporates etc, so keeping it at Wembley makes sense, given that is has nearly 30k more capacity.
Plus, most of the Man U supporters will be from Home Counties and not Manchester, so helps them with travel. |

As much as Saints frustrate the hell out of me at times, I could never place a bet on a team to beat us. [Post edited 20 Apr 17:14]

McCarthy looked really slow to react to their 2nd goal. Again from outside the box.
How the hell did we not win this today ? |

He was lucky to get away with an 'air' kick as well today, totally missing the ball and having a 2nd go to clear it.
I also thought he could have done better for their 2nd as well. |

I'll take the result, but it was again far from convincing and 2nd half as in recent games was abysmal. You could just sense an equaliser coming.
Most of the team look absolutely knackered, 25 minutes from the end.
I didn't disagree with the need to make some changes, but like other recent games, the team looked all over the place after the changes. There just didn't seem to be any cohesion. [Post edited 13 Apr 20:06]

The last 10 mins was exactly the same as the Middlesbrough game, sitting deep, not shutting down quick enough and just inviting problems.
I'll take the 3 points, but it was far from convincing, especially in the 2nd half. [Post edited 9 Apr 21:55]

I remember 'rush' goalies at school. Most of these used to dive when the ball was in the net to make it look good. I know a few recent Saints keepers that still do this. |

You are assuming Stephens doesn't play in goal !
The love in Martin has for Stephens, I wouldn't bet against it. [Post edited 8 Apr 20:52]

Not quite, we know Stephens will play. The rest are all up for grabs, given Martin's comments nobody's guaranteed a place, and given he will not drop Stephens. [Post edited 8 Apr 17:21]

They did stop running. As soon as KWP and the rest of defence and Midfield got to half way line, they stopped.
KWP hardly ventured past the half way line against Blackburn. He was obviously instructed to do this. [Post edited 8 Apr 17:19]
