Just how deluded are Southampton

[klaaturberada]

They were kinda like an h with lambert being the upright bit, el abd being the backwards r bit. Lambert's legs were under el abd, because he was bent over when lambert ran into him, lambert's upper body was above el abd. I included a link to the bbc highlights, which are quite clear.

I cannot bear to watch the highlights. It was bad enough being there. At least I got a nice lamb shank in the hospitality suite beforehand, and a really impressive (free) programme......and a very nice looking waitress. Not my favourite way to go to football, but the only way I could get a ticket. Lovely stadium from the outside by the way. A bit disappointing inside apart from the west stand of course.

Have you f***ing seen the challenge by Harding you prick !!! It was a clean take of the ball. He swept the ball away and his legs werent off the floor. Your players were diving at every opportunity. and look at the way the rest of your cheating players congratulated El Abd after his discusting reaction. Albion have always for me been a fair team but your oilbag racist manager has changed all that. You'll try any cheating method to get a result. Only problem is your miles adrift at the bottom of the fair play league and are known as the league's cheats. Even more dirty than Pompey.

Go home and cry to your mum which is also your sister!

Do you agree that El-Abd and Forte are play-acting jessie's (or a similar derogatory phrase for such behaviour) ?

Maybe. But in El-Abd's case - he didn't need to be. It was right under the ref's nose.

Simple this win was very sweet and well desrved the better team won end of

One of the reasons why I can't stand Scumhampton. I don't think on that performance they're even a top of the table side. if West Ham didn't lose those games against Burnley at home etc when Scumhampton slipped up. Then West Ham would be running away with this league.

Anyone who saw El Abd at Wednesday away last season will know he can "act" but the good thing is he is OURS

Er, do you mind?

Aww be fair, at least he didn't say she was your brother.

But they didn't win them did they?!! If Southampton hadn't had lost to Bristol twice, Doncaster and Brighton they would be running away with it too. What a completely pointless post.

Very sweet I am sure, but if you take your rose-tinted spectacles off, for 50 minutes Southampton were the better team and should have been 2-0 up. Football being football, Brighton took full advantage of a complete collapse after the sending off.

So why did he feel the need to play-act? If the red card was a formality (merely from Lamberts actions) the so called hard man could have just laughed it off and got up.

Not as simple as that I don't think. It was a pretty even, end-to-end game first half, we required some heroic defending at times but we also probably had the most clean cut chance of the half.

Unfortunately this fell to a young development squad defender in his first league game this season. Anyone else and it probably would've been 1-0 us at half time.

We were hard done by last year at the Withdean against Bournemouth. Mr Elphick took a rather hefty and deliberate elbow to the face and merely looked angry. The referee seemed to think this was just a Yellow offence and since then, we no longer take things like men and why should we when literally every team in the world, from Barcelona to Burgess Hill do it.

By the way guys. please feel free to correct me If I am recalling this incorrectly.

FWIW I thought you had the better of the first half, but did not dominate as much as I feared. We created chances, and Harding was being given a hard time by our wide men, irrespective of his chopping of CMS. We created a couple of chances in the first half too, more than we have had recently.

You had one poor decision go against you in respect of Lallana's goal, but the red cards (both of them) were correct.

We took our chances, you didn't. I thought it was a pretty good game, irrespective of the result.

I do - but then according to the OP I am deluded

Ah yes, I do remember thinking "1-0" right up to the moment he made contact with the ball. So following on with the hypotheticals, allowing also for Guly's glaring miss and Lallana's effort, 2-1 to Saints at half-time. Lambert's penalty - 3-1. Three consecutive goals for Brighton - 3-4, followed finally by Corks missed open goal. 4-4 - great game

El Abd was also the first player to run a few yards to have a go at Forte for diving in the Greer incident
