midds Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 As soon as Man U (and Spurs too) complained that they couldn't put a team out a few weeks ago and the PL, naturally, caved and postponed their fixtures it opened the door for everyone to wade in. The PL had the perfect opportunity to act decisively and they fucked it. They let themselves be railroaded into giving them exactly what they asked for (heard that one before) and now it's a bit of a shambles. They could have refused and made them play. They didn't. They could have called a circuit breaker and cancelled the League for 2 weeks. They didn't. They could have drawn up a different set of conditions needed to postpone a game. They didn't. All clubs are working to this criteria and all the crying that Southampton fans are doing counts for precisely fuck all. Suck it up, dry your eyes and get on with it.

Anyway, these fuckers gave us Pardew so fuck them They also gave us Kevin Keegan, so no fuck them from me.... edit..just remembered all those goals that Matt Le T fella scored against us...yep fuck them Edited December 31, 2021 by Dancing Brave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I assume Southampton would soldier on in the same circumstances? So easy for a team to kick up a fuss when the only injury/Covid cases they have is to their goalkeeper and a second choice defender. I would be perfectly happy for them to be annoyed if they had just come through an outbreak and didn’t request any postponements, but we all know they’d be calling every game off in the same situation.

I have seen clubs get games called off for injuries to key players before Covid was about. It was only a couple of months ago we had to play a game without our manager because he had Covid, it’s not like we haven’t been trying to cope. We also had to use a squad place for an extra keeper cause of Covid. Edited December 31, 2021 by madras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Glad we're not just caving and letting everyone walk over us as usual. Southampton can fuck off moaning, they'd do the exact same thing in our position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Ordinarily I'd be an advocate for 'use your U23s' but the PL have entirely made this bed for every club to lie in and I've no shame in us finally making use of it. Southampton can cry like little bitches if they want to. Did they submit a complaint when Brentford did it? A quick Google says no. So why are we the straw breaking the camel's back? I think we know why. This club and the fans have been fed a shit sandwich for over a decade now by it's owner, and now the League and all member clubs want to the do the same. I've no shame in this. Every single one of the bitter fucks can eat shit. If anything, consider it sportsmanship. We're just giving all the other clubs time to catch up on their games.

toontownman Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Don't have a problem with fans being upset. We would be the same if the shoe was on the other foot. At the same time I have no problem with us playing the system if that's what we have done. They should have just cancelled all or none. Just another of the endless list of inconsistencies within the league. Not really sure what Southampton think they will achieve with an appeal. Nothing wrong with them doing so if they think it's been handled unfairly but the league already opened pandoras box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over to the recruitment team, get some business done early and we’ve got a great set of winnable games ahead. Class Bollocks is it. No class in faking injuries to get a game cancelled. More class in turning up and winning. Burnley have shown class. We haven't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
