Clever from Murphy

Get in. Great goal

Been shit second half.

Defensively okay. Not much going forward. Almiron best player.

Better from ASM. Dropped his shoulder

ASM has been sloppy like

Such a low bar He applauded Darlow for catching the ball earlier man I said it was a nice catch. Because it was a decent catch.

Clever from Fraser there

That's better

Bit more of ball finally but not doing anything with it

Couldn't have possibly been easier Was a confident solid catch tbf

That touch from ASM. Jeez

Greedy there. Should have passed

Nice catch

Good save Darlow

I like our shorts

Lol bottlegate

Interesting team for sure. We will see how it goes.

Southampton looking really good here.

Intrigued to see the team now

2-1 defeat or 1-1 draw.

Shearer would be around £125M nowadays I reckon.

Weird watching Real play at their training ground. Shakhtar should be 1-0 up.

I find this an interesting comment because if you want to accuse someone of that, I would have to argue that it's possible that you yourself are guilty of this. You maintained last season that 'Bruce was doing ok'. I think many people would say that what happened last season was in spite of Bruce and not because of him. That's gleaned from many years of watching football (and personal experience with Pardew) Some people might say that that shows a basic lack of understanding of football from you. Others would say it's your opinion. If you don't agree with someone's opinion, give them a counter argument, don't belittle them. Absolutely brilliantly put. I only wish that I could of published those words so eloquently because I so much struggle with what Samp is on about. He deserves every bit of criticism that comes his way after the pathetic defence of Bruce last season. Saying Bruce did okay last season is not a pathetic defence of Bruce. Think it's likely he will be sacked this season and he clearly isn't the man to progress the club or the players. I don't hate Bruce. Some do. Fine. People can think what they want. But the consistent "hey samptime29[/member] is Bruce doing okay?" in several threads is a bit sad and weird.

Very bizarre. Last season I was okay with Bruce, because I thought staying up was key for the takeover. For one season, it was fine. I have said several times he can't progress us forward, and I worry about this season but I have got several posters constantly following me around or mentioning my name, and asking me about Bruce. It's weird. Saying Ferguson wouldn't be a good manager nowadays is a ludicrous statement. It shows a basic lack of understanding about football. Not even up for debate.
