Originally posted by glazedallover Yeah, i can remember double headers on clapham common on sunday mornings. Two games straight off and then a quick gallon in the windmill. Easy peasy That's definitely it, these pansy professionals just don't drink enough booze after a match these days. Bangell - If Camus wrote The Myth of Sisyphus today, it would be about Jason Puncheon eternally trying and failing to pass with his right foot.

Players look shattered, pitch is s* so bad for Wilf on the ground, windy as f* so difficult to get accurate crosses in...still, we are only 1 down. "They got his own song 'He's just too good for you', it's quite unbelievable but when you see it and he's facing up someone - I actually feel sorry for them, 'Cos he actually is" - Ian Holloway

Originally posted by spartakev2 Anyone who's played football knows that the second day after a game is when the aches, pains and knocks are at their worse. The extra day Soton have had is massive. That can be the case but these players should be in top condition and if it was such a big deal then why is it all the lower leagues can play more games and not have such issues. the problem with these players now is they are soft plus they train to just play the match time. other sports you train far harder without these breaks which is why they are in much better shape (VPN) - [Link] (Alt VPN) - [Link]

I still don't know if the wind is a factor. Soton are pressing us because it looks like we can't clear the ball very far. So the game has been mostly pressed into our half because we have to play it out on this s*ty pitch. In the 2nd half, It will be a different story. We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just waing with a football.

Hennessey very close to being embarrassed. Only their poor execution saved him (and us). We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.
