*~*~* Sunderland v Southampton match thread *~*~*

[Mr Redknapp]

Just got home and my god what a result!

TM is my favourite gaffer since Reidy

 

[RossTheNinja]

The bbc have us down for only 32% possession, does that sound right? Bit strange for a 5-0.

I think someone on the thread was saying we scored a goal for every six minutes we had the ball.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

A dominant performance masterminded by TM

 

[Woodman Boy]

I heard them loud and clear from my seat in the Premier Concourse near the North Stand. They did not sing throughout, but certainly tried their best even when thy were 3-0 down

Its always the way from my seat, barely heard the South Stand but Im not saying South Stand didnt make any noise

Just depends where you sit to how you perceive it

Mind I do have hearing aid in right ear which might add to confusion

Oh when the Saints get beat five nil,
oh when the Saints get beat five nil,
I want to be in that number, when the Saints get beat five nil

I picked Clarke FGS, 1 point there and that's all I gots.

Was too happy to think straight; picked up a point for the correct result, 2 points for this week's Prediction League. @Hettonlass

Home team winning 3-0 at home at halftime & ref still gets booed off

Morning all. This really happened yesterday. It wasn't just a dream

 

[CornedBeef]

I'm glad Mowbray addressed it with them about the Burnley game. Think up till the 4th a lot of people had thst in back of their heads

I was one 9f those people. I'm so glad they did what we didn't expect, and blew Southampton apart

Highlight of the game that, never seen anything like it

Lovely to wake up and have that 5 seconds of forgetting what you did yesterday and then recalling it

Flying high and today and I usually feel fed up on Sundays

I was one 9f those people. I'm so glad they did what we didn't expect, and blew Southampton apart

Yeah when it went to 2-0 I thought “this reminds me of Burnley at home”

Thankfully I kept it in my head and didn’t say it out loud cos it was a jinxy waiting to happen

They spent ages just passing it between their CBs with no idea what to do. We are fantastic when allowed to counter attack like that - basically we played the away team role yesterday and we seen why our away form is so good compared to our home form

Even at 4-0 up, I was still worried we were going to throw it away

The first half was the longest I've watched in a while wondering when Soton would get their act together, breathed a huge sign of relief when the 3rd went in and was pretty certain we'd not mess it up. Just sorting tickets out for train for Cardiff game now

He was shit to be fair. Missed a Penna for them as well.

 

[YES WE GYAN]

Never a pen for me. It was their player who dangled his leg out across Dack to initiate contact before going down like a fanny. Reminded me of the Steven Taylor one for the mags.

 

[Drexl]

Just had a look on the Southampton forum, first page of the match thread one poster is calling the game their easiest game of the season on paper.

And we think we have some mentalists on here!

Couple of their lads call him out on it at least

 

[CraigyLee]

Can’t believe how bad Mason Holgate was for them

It would have been soft but still surprised he didn’t give it. Was watching in a pub so couldn’t really hear what was said on commentary or afterwards.
