Re: Today's Football 2025-26

Another clear pen denied there.

Re: Jordan Pickford

A lot of the lists of saves of the season or the decade or whatever contain saves that aren't actually that remarkable or impressive, if you've played football to an even semi-decent level. A lot of the time they involve a bit of luck on a keeper's part that the ball hits an outstretched foot, or th...

Re: Iliman Ndiaye

The piece of play to get KDH in for the winner was lovely though. Very easy to get that wrong or overcomplicate it. Great decision and weight of pass from Illi.

Re: David Moyes

I know football isn’t xg, but that table has us in 13th, 6 points less, and 4 points off relegation. We’ve been riding our luck this season, although we’ve probably deserved some of it due to our generally poor treatment by match officials and var. Can't agree there. Xg is a far too reductive metho...

Re: David Moyes

It's tactical and related to player quality. We can set up brilliantly away, nullifying the opposition, playing on the break, exploiting space behind defences that want to step up and dominate the ball and the space. Moyes and the players have the formula nailed by this stage of the season. We've ac...

Re: Today's Football 2025-26

Another unconvincing but vital, ballsy win for City. Tbh Arsenal or City are pretty much equally likely to win the league. Gonna be fine margins. Arsenal with the better defence and overall squad, City with the best attackers and difference makers. They might have to play each other 4 times still th...

Re: Today's Football 2025-26

Actually it's more of a 3-6-1 today, so even more power in the middle, and Dom will run all day for you and occupy defenders.

Re: Today's Football 2025-26

Leeds' 3-5-2 is a big problem for a lot of defences. Inspired mid-season tactical change by Farke. Suits them perfectly. Defences arent used to dealing with 2 forwards now, and both Leeds' wing-backs are a handful. Hard working central mid 3 as well makes them hard to play through and rarely outnumb...

Re: The Southampton Worst Premier League Team Ever Thread

Crazy that the bottom team, already long relegated, can fully deservedly to draw with top of the table (dominating them for long periods) and then comfortably beat 3rd in the table just after that.

You're just not getting that level of competitiveness in other European leagues.

Re: The Southampton Worst Premier League Team Ever Thread

Yet another indicator of the strength of the Prem. This Wolves team, playing like it is now, could probably win the Europa Conference League.

Re: Scouting/recruitment

Last summer was a mad rush for players and a whole new recruitment team coming into the club weeks before the window opened. It was never going to be an ideal window. We got rejected by loads of targets. I'll be judging them properly and more harshly, if warranted, this summer now that everybody has...

Re: David Moyes

Not sure why it's offensive to suggest we might be better off without him. There's not a lot of vitriol towards Moyes like there was Dyche and most responses seem measured. Yes we're 9th at the moment but results go against us and we might be 14th on Monday with 4 wins at home all season and out of...

Re: David Moyes

People are fully entitled to feel how they want, but to me it's crazy that it's even a conversation as we're sat in 9th with 11 games to go, with a squad with a number of glaring weaknesses, after the last few years we've had, but each to their own I suppose. Much as I loved what our fans did to sav...

Re: How on earth did we survive from Benitez onwards?

I think mainly 2 factors for me. The fans played a massive, kinda unprecedented part. How many relegations from the top flight have there been? Hundreds and hundreds. Has any other fanbase come even close to what we did? It was remarkable. It's kinda been glossed over how remarkable that was by the ...
