Match Thread Southampton v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll...

aren’t most leagues like that though, 4/5 dominate sides with the rest making up the numbers

Most are, but over the years the premier league has had a good core of solid 11-5th teams that on their day can beat anyone - can't see that at all this year.

Off the top of my head, Norwich beat City, Newcastle beat Spurs, (away), West Ham beat Man United, probably others.

Freak results happen from time to time - how many of them have done it more than once though?

No idea. You said you couldnt see lesser teams getting results against the Sky faves anymore. With no research I posted 3.

Didn’t see any of it. Can anyone give a pithy, paragraph summation of the game?

Bossed the 1st half. Lost the 10 minutes after half time. Ricky scored a pretty decent winner.

Sommet like 1/2 million shots against their 1.

The End.

Early goal, settled nerves, lots of everything except another goal.
2nd half they had a go, our sphincters collapsed when they scored.
Great cross for our 2nd.
VAR must have had a day off as we ended up winning.

 

[Gilbert..]

Much needed. So much of the ball and chances but im still concerned we cant put games to bed. This should have been over by half time.
Norwich next week. Got to get 6 points from the two bottom sides at least.
If only we could finish.

What I was getting at was the overall competitiveness of what is touted as the best league in the world is seriously on the wane - last years big six as we speak is now a big four containing Leicester and Chelsea - Spurs, Utd and Arsenal are adrift big time - below the top four is a free for all of mediocre teams in various stages of transition.

Looking at Leicester tonight. Wow we are going to struggle against them.

 

[Yorkie89]

How one sided was that? With a striker who has a little bit more about him we win that by 5/6

Looking at Leicester tonight. Wow we are going to struggle against them.

Sit back, deny Vardy space, hit them on the break.

We need to respect that they are much better than us and it is an away match.

Let's beat Norwich first.

You fans who go everywhere following the Blues, you’ve finally got an away win, well done, safe journey home
