  • I think we may lose
  • I'm actually hopeful for this one and will remain so until the first 2 goals go in. I think Spurs will struggle to break down our new formation
  • Arses handed to us on a plate
  • We’re in for a hiding.
  • I can't see anything other than a Spurs win
  • think it will finish 1-0 Spurs, but we’ll do surprisingly okay
  • I'm going on Saturday fully expecting us to lose to a Champions League team who spend millions on players and have one of the best strikers in the world. I won't be disappointed if we do because it surely has to be expected?
  • If you do the fantasy football, load up on spurs players I reckon
  • Even with Richarlison being suspended their forward line looks formidable, always expect Kane and Son to do well against us. Spurs 4- 1 Saints, with us being 2 down quite early on.
  • Spurs 0 saints 4
  • Kane usually starts the season like a slug. Maybe not this time.
  • Spurs will thrash us and the soppy spurs twats will be talking about winning the league all week. Then the following weekend they will lose to Chelsea and the head rush will be over.
  • Start of the season optimism kicking in maybe, but I think we're going to get something out of this. I'm going for a 1-2 win for Saints.
  • Could be ugly. We’ve got new faces, but no greater goal threat. Build up play looks just like end of last season as far as I can see and Ralph is unlikely to drop Bednarek. 3-0 to Spurs if we’re lucky.
  • 4-1 Spurs we are getting smashed
  • Currently if you chuck 100 on Spurs you'll get 140 back. Surely the easiest 40 you'll ever earn?
  • fully expect us to lose on Saturday.
  • No idea what the score will be but I know for a fact Son will score
  • Spurs will be a top 4 team this season so it's a free hit and if we can get something it'll be a big bonus.
  • Son will score we will lose, there will be meltdown on here with calls for clueless Ralph to go and all our new signings are crap
  • They'll batter us. Going for at least 3-0. Wouldn't surprise me to see them get 4 or 5.
  • Son always seems to enjoy playing us so I think we will get a bit of a hammering. Tough start to the season though so no point panicking if we lose.

Obviously they must have all slept through the home game last season

Signed a few Man City youngsters, Joe Aribo from Rangers who looks fairly decent and a 19 year old striker from Bordeaux. They've gone all-in on youth this summer so doubt their signings will have a huge impact off the bat.

In pre-season they've changed formation to a back 5 and apparently have been tighter defensively but struggled a lot going forward. They've won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 so certainly not had a great one results-wise (not that it really matters).

They should really be there for the taking tbh. Need to win this one.
Good win against Monaco 3-1 though

It always worries me when the opposition fans feel so hopeless. It often end up being a tight game with us on the wrong end of the result.

That's probably more a reflection of us, tbh.

Years of scars and false dawns take a while to forget.

As much as I like the idea, do you not remember the many games last season where exactly this happened and we lost?
Part of me is sceptical, i guess. But that's more to do with what we've been used to in the past. Let's not forget, Conte came in mid season and we were a shambles. Even the last quarter of the season we kept hearing that we'd definitely blown 4th place now etc. From Christmas, we had the 2nd/3rd? best results. Not bad considering. This season, Conte has his players in, full pre-season, and he'd already gotten us playing the way he wants us to towards the end of last season. The coach is everything. It's why I don't think Arse - despite signing some good players - will do as well as last year, they don't have an elite manager. Plus last year, they only had the league to focus on.

To answer the question from Saintsweb:

Yes. Yes, it was.

Despite that I've constantly been told how amazing Sp*rs transfer window has been and how it's gonna raise them to another level they haven't started a single one of their new signings

Didn't people banter us at the start of last season with "How do you spend 100m without improving your first team"?

Looking at Sp**s starting 11 they have 3 cbs ( Dier, Davies, Romero) and two wing backs ( Royal and Sessegnon). Not single one of them would come close to starting for us, how the hell did they finish above us?

This team is totally average, and Conte won't change that.

Front three is good but the rest are painfully mid.

Big teams look to control matches, always.

That team finished above us. :LOL:

I would take Son though, but i think overall we have the better squad.

Kane, Son and Romero walk into our team mate. even Kulusevski. Stop overrating our players.

Romero starts where ahead of Gabriel? No Saliba? No White? Maybe Let him play in back 4 first And Saka is miles ahead of kulu. Only son and Kane that's about it because our team lack that. :LOL:

Romero wouldn't start over Saliba, Gabriel or Ben White. Red card waiting to happen

Kane nearing 30, frustrated that he is still stuck at Sp**s and hasn't won a single thing in his career. Can see Jesus having a better season than him.

Sp**s team is not class but Conte get players that suit his style. It's not hard to figure that out.

The footballing guru - SA_Gunner - see Sp**s are pushing up and pressing higher. That's good from Conte. You cant be a title challenger without doing that these days.

SA_Gunner - Southampton up. Now sit back and lets see what our "title contenders" can do.

Here you go title contenders

Lol these ****s cant even keep a cleansheet for more than 20 mins and they were sayin they werent worried about us based on yesterdays performance. Mugs!

1-1

Everything good from Sp**s comes from Kulesevski. He really is insanely good, his movement is just elite. Saka could learn a lot from him.

Kulu would have been the perfect RW for us, especially as Gunenr Fan. Shame he hasn't waited some months

2-1

Well, that was short-lived, not suppried though. Spuds won't loose this (sadly)

How can you guys watch Sp**s vs opposition they usually beat while at home? Their football is crap and the hope of watching them lose vs the reality of them winning easily isn't worth it.

SA_Gunner - Of course I want them to lose, but I also watch to see what makes Conte an elite manager there. Spoiler alert... there is nothing. He has brought in some more agressive pressing when wanting to get the advantage, but other than that... he has them playing like a small team.

Pretty quick comeback from the title contenders, I wonder if our current version can finally do something like that.

SA_Gunner - Their football is rubbish dude, you wont win a title or get close to the top four sitting back against small teams and relying on set pieces alone.

Sp**s are such a boring team.

Just got in, apparently Sp**s are playing like prime Barca?

Give them title already. It's over.

Sp**s top of the table and will likely end the week there I guess.

Unbelievable no card for that, Romero tackle

I got use to it with Sp**s the way they get away with many things is unbelievable. Surprised Kane didn't have his usual penalty today

Damn Sp**s got a lot of options, their squad looks pretty strong now

Man we really fumbled not getting Kulusevski in winter. The guy would add competition to Saka plus can play CF plus carried Sp**s to top 4 and now again unplayable.

Kulusevski is always been good player but if we bought him we'd play him LW not sure he'd he successful there his best position is RW since parma days and no way you drop generational talent as saka. He chose the right team and system imo.

SA_Gunner went silent after the 3rd goal went in and never returned.

KUMB going on about Spursy
Yep, over 4 times as many trophies as West Ham
20 plus top 4 finishes to their one, very Spursy
West Ham over 100 years in our shadow very Spursy

I still don't understand the gooners not rating Romero. Saliba was good last night, but neither Gabriel nor White are as good as Romero. In fact those two were a glaring weakness in the Arsenal side against Palace, both making mistakes (albeit White was being played at RB).

Partey and Xhaka are not levels above any of our four CMs. Up until the moment we signed him, they'd have benched either of those two for Bissouma.

Kane > Jesus
Son > Martinelli
Deki > Saka - I'd also say that Kulusevski is well ahead of Saka. Deki is physically much stronger and has more of an end product.

This is just stupidity from children.

Honestly it’s just absolute stupidity. There is no perspective. Saka a generational talent? Do me a fucking favour. They have seen generational talents like Bergkamp too. Well those posters probably haven’t as they are too young…
