Saints shock the Royals

0
I had said that the odds of 17/2 were far too good to miss, and considering the high priced wins there has been this season so far, we had every chance of winning.

And we did, with two goals from wright phillips, the saints came away with all three points, this does not get us too far away from the drop zone but we are heading in the right direction, and some of my pals from the Saints Forum have a few good tidy profits. Click to continue reading...

Le God Speaks

0
Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier has revealed he fears his former club will continue to struggle this season if they persist in playing youngsters.

Saints are only one place off the drop zone in the Championship and fielded eight players aged 21 or under in Saturday's 2-1 defeat by Wolves. Click to continue reading...

Reading v Saints betting

0
READING 2/5 DRAW 7/2 SAINTS 17/2

That's right 8 and half times your money back for a win at Reading. Now I have had my suspicions about some of the betting forecasts and results in the Championship this season so far.

But this sort of price for a team to win is high in my opinion. Click to continue reading...

2 Saints players make it into the under 21 squad

0
The under 21 friendly last night saw 2 of the SAINTS team make it onto the pitch, admittedly Cork is on loan and Lallana only got 4 mins of play, but a cap is a cap. And you can not take it away from them, here is hoping they get more time in the squad and the experience helps them when they come back to play for the Saints. Click to continue reading...

Saints v Wolves betting

SAINTS 3/1 DRAW 12/5 WOLVES EVENS

I am looking through all the odds and looking at all the different types of bets that can be made, and I sit here stumped. My head says that only the bookies win, my heart says that certain events take place and why not give it a go.

In the first instance we have Morgan Schneiderlin, been in the news this week because he is tipped to move to Arsenal. Click to continue reading...

F.A. CUP 2ND ROUND DRAW

0
Below is an article from the BBC but I did suggest before that because of the financial crisis we could have a lot of drawn games so they can get another revenue spinning game. and guess what we had 15 drawn games out of all the 1 st round matches. A lot higher than usual.

FA Cup first-round giant-killers Curzon Ashton have been drawn away to Blue Square Premier side Kidderminster in the draw for the second round. Click to continue reading...

Saints jinxed by the television AGAIN !!!

0
SAINTS 0 V 1 ROBINS

From a team which came back from two nil down last week, we failed to impress when at home and on the telly yet again. We seem unable to string two decent performances together, and when we get put on the telly, it seems to be good night vienna. Lets hope we break the curse soon, because at present we are too near the drop zone for my liking. Click to continue reading...

Southampton v Bristol City betting

SAINTS 6/4 DRAW 12/5 BRISTOL CITY 2/1

Now I have been busy this week so have not had the time to look through all the things which I normally do, so have left the FA CUP betting alone, but I still think there must be a good treble chance if you select five non league sides and do a combination of trebles on them.

This is only in preparation for the first weekend in January when the big boys meet the winners of these two rounds. With one all non league tie, there will be a lower league side in the next round.

The saints finally win a game from behind...

0
Preston are 2 goals up and there is 26 mins to play, a Saints fan would be now thinking, Oh no here is another defeat to add to the collection. But three goals later ( One scored by Surman as I had advised on this morning ) and we come away with all three points.

This will be a boost for the side and the fans. Click to continue reading...

Preston v Southampton betting

2
PRESTON 8/11 DRAW 12/5 SOUTHAMPTON 3/1

Guess what ? The bookies are becoming meaner by the minute. Considering the Saints current position 3/1 is pitiful. So of course we have a look around for some of the other bets to see if we can find anything of value. 0-0 will pay out at 9/1 as Saints are hardly in goal scoring mode at the moment and if they concentrate on defence they could just go for the bore draw.

Lowe tells it as it is .....

0
We don't have the money to afford top earning players (FACT). At least he is honest, you could put the difficulties in now to past decisions, some of which were made by Lowe. But what can we do ? Do we sit down at our keyboards and bemoan the past indiscretions of others or think ourselves lucky we are not in the position of the likes of Leeds and Forest which took years to turn things around, and Leeds are still in the third flight.

6 hours and 5 mins and we finally score.

2
Southampton 1 v 1 Coventry.

I knew the past few games had been bad, but until I saw the stats concerning the length of time since our last goal, it really brought it all into perspective.

The Saints had gone 365 mins without scoring, and when they finally did score it took only 7 mins to concede a goal and thus undo all the good work. Click to continue reading...

Swansea 3 v 0 Southampton

0
I have been away to Whitby with our lass, so have not been blogging about the Saints. I was disappointed but not surprised by the defeat to the Swans, they have a great unbeaten home record, and our youthful side to say the least did have a big hill to climb. In the mean time we have now shipped out Stern John to Bristol City. Click to continue reading...

We blunted the Blades...

0
Well is it good to be excited about a nil nil game? well it is when you have played the league leaders, you lose a player and were beaten three nil in your last game, and to cap it off, your team is being pummeled like a punch bag.

So a good point away. Lets now add to this moral booster. Click to continue reading...

The Blunts 0 v 0 Saints (HT)

0
With 45 mins played we are still in the game, if only just. The Blades, or as I used to call them the Blunts are having 65% of the possesion but it is still 0 v 0 . Could we spring a surprise in the second half and win. and if we did win, I would seriously be looking at the betting odds. this is another game envolving Saints where the highest odded team by a mile would have won.

Sheff Utd v Southampton betting

0
Blades 4/7 draw 5/2 Saints 4/1

It is not the highest price I have seen the Saints at for winning a game, as they were 9/2 for the game at Derby and won it, So this would explain the half a point off the top price.

But you can see that the bookies have no faith in the Saints to win, but are still hedging their bets in case they do. Click to continue reading...

Southampton 0 v 3 Watford

0
I think I mentioned the fact that we could easily give Watford there first away win, but hoped and thought we would not. It seems that even two penalties given too us could not be converted. So we get closer to the drop again, look mystified at why we did not beat Watford, and who knows, If we are part of a betting scam, we may end up beating the Blades next, when our odds will be a lot higher now after this defeat.

Southampton v Watford ( what could happen ? )

0
If you are a person who looks at form this game may already be done and dusted. Watford have had five away games this season and have still to win a game, only drawing one and losing the other four.

On the other hand, if Saints win today it will make a even pattern which we seem to have through most seasons of 2. Click to continue reading...

Derby v Norwich match fixing.

0
With the Saints having played both these teams and won, I do hope this will not lead to them being thrown out and all games nulled. That simply would be the sort of luck we would have. But seriously I can not see that happening, But we were priced at 9/2 to beat Derby and they gave us our first league win of the season, did someone bet against them. Click to continue reading...

SAINTS EVENS DRAW 11/5 WATFORD 11/5

So as the bookies see it, we will either will or won't win the game on Saturday. Pretty obvious really. If you are like most Saints fans though, you will probably want better odds to get you to part with your money to go for a bet like this. So lets look at a few others. Click to continue reading...

England under 21s reach finals

0
Without the help of the two Saints players England reached the finals of the euro under 21's comp, next summer. A high scoring 2 leg match up resulted in England going through 5-4 even though they was down to ten men with 24 mins to go. Lets hope some of these players progress into the full team and give us all something to be proud of. Click to continue reading...

Stern John sits it out....... hardly a surprise....

0
Just had a look at the Saints official website, and you do have to laugh at the way they up the role of Stern John... I also wondered why they are not talking about the inclusion of Lallana and Cork in the England under 21's.

Stern John who has not been playing anymore of a role in the saints season so far of a substitute, went over to his home nation of Trinidad and Tobago for their WCQ's He of course did not even feature in the team as he is not fully fit. Click to continue reading...

England 5 v 1 Borat

5
So we beat Borat last night, but was it convincing ? nil nil at half time would have been a good bet I am guessing. But to not score until the 52 min is poor by anyone standards. I did watch the first half. but we were so ineffective it was dismal. Walcott tried to pass everybody, Heskey couldnt hit a barn door, and the passing and communication between the team itself was the same as putting a bunch of strangers in a room and ask them to make small talk.

Wales (U21) 2 V 3 England (U21)

0
Cork did make it to the subs bench, but as I was saying in my last post, the price given for Lallana to score in 90 mins should really have been the odds on him playing at all. A good game and with the second leg played on Tuesday England have this tie under control.

Wales U21: fon Williams, Eardley, Blake, Nyatanga, Wiggins, Adams (Allen 59), Collison, King (James 84), MacDonald (Brown 76), Ramsey, Church. Click to continue reading...

Something for the weekend

0
Well the money markets are crashing, and mum has told Iceland to F@@K OFF, we have a quiet time as a Saints fan. No more league action until next weekend. What we do have is the few players who in the under 21 teams, one of which is Adam Lallana and so the best of the bets you could find which has a Saints link, is the 4/1 to one price on Lallana to score in 90mins against the welsh.

Of course it is a television match and if it is anything like the previous two this year or most times we are on the telly, you can do nothing but bet on the defeat. But I do remember the time we thrashed Tottenham on a Saturday evening and the goal highlights in the ending credits being played out to electric six's danger high voltage.

Southampton 2 v 0 Norwich

A great night had by all, and Robertson scores on his debut for Southampton, now what would have been the odds on that ? Also we get our second penalty in successive games, which this time McGoldrick steps up for and gives Saints the victory. Could we make it three wins in a row.

Now when was the last time that happened, answers on a postcard please. Click to continue reading...
