Chants are a legal weapon that can be used to demoralise both the opposition team and quieten their fans. Ask Ashley Barnes how he felt at the barrage of insults directed at him. The Southampton fans are embarrassed to have Rishi Sunak as a supporter and Leeds supporters should make a chant about th...

Klopp doesn't rank... he is rank.

Remember how he raged at Pascal for his challenge on Elliot

We managed Sara and Rowe for Norwich, same again for Fazer and Armstrong.

Easy Peasy

Does Russell Martin have the hump over his past relationship with Daniel Farke? Daniel Farke dropped Russell Martin from the Norwich City lineup primarily due to a combination of tactical decisions and performance considerations. Does that leave Russell with the feeling he is not good enough? Will i...

It would require Georgie to become a midfielder out of possession but that's OK it did wonders for Joelinton at Newcastle and we know Georgie isn't afraid of tracking back. How often have we seen good results from Geogio picking the ball up deep and making a killer pass to the forwards to score a g...

I didn't know that those south coast boys were such fashionistas... who would have thought it was so important which strip you wore in defeat.

They say it is good to know your enemy and with that in mind i looked at one Southampton forum and to my surprise it was bereft of any technical analysis. Instead their two main concerns was satorial elegance, and the embarrassment of having Rishi Sunak as a supporter. The red colour of their socks ...

In the game where Leicester City defeated Southampton 5-0, Leicester employed a 4-3-3 formation. This setup featured a dynamic front three and a solid midfield, which allowed them to control the game and exploit Southampton’s defensive weaknesses, especially since they will often send their full bac...

Let's hope for a nasty game. Vicious tackles. Red cards. No penalties though. We don't want a team winning on penalties as that will mean they'll have a psychological edge should the final go to penalties. I counted at least 3 penalty shouts for Southampton... it may well be a tactic they. will exp...

If he could pass the ball with the same speed he grows his hair, Southampton would already be in the League one!

You look at both those results and the winning team had about 35% possession. In fact if you look at most of their losses the magic number for opposition possession was between 30 and 35%. That’s as much to do with southamptons tactics as anything else but they are heavily reliant on transitions an...

The main thing I took away from the last game was that if you press Southampton high they will conceded possession. Think we have to be really on the front foot against them and we'll get rewards! And also shooting from the 18 yd box... Alex McCarthy is vunerable... lets not try and walk it into th...

Russell Martin, currently managing Southampton, has faced notable challenges and criticisms at his previous clubs, including MK Dons and Swansea City. **MK Dons' Defensive Frailties and Mid-Table Finish**: During his tenure at MK Dons, Martin's commitment to a possession-based style often led to def...

To beat Southampton in the Championship playoff final, Leeds United will need to focus on several key areas, drawing insights from their past encounters this season. **Defensive Organization** Southampton's attacking prowess has been evident, particularly with players like Adam Armstrong and Che Ada...

just a small reminder, a fact check.
Lester beat saints 5-0
and Ipswich beat them 3-2

Oh and we beat both Ipswich and Lester twice... chew on them there stats for a while oh ye of little faith.

Ashley Barnes is still a prick!

A leeds supporter wades in on the Pinkun forum.

No , Wembley is the exact same size as every Premiership pitch and that of recent Premiership clubs with the only exceptions being Liverpool and Fulham due to the size of their grounds, It's regulations that they all have to meet so there's no extra space for anyone I seem to remember Jesse wanted ...

Didn’t get much right versus either of them this season. But I like Corboran and can’t stand Russell Martin. And while I’m less afraid of West Brom’s lineup, I think my hatred of Russell Martin pushes me over. Nothing would please me more than for us doing something similar to him as we did to Ashl...
