  1. We now have 55 points - 5 points more than at the same point in 2012, when we were in the top 2 all season. We might need 100 points for top 2 this season!
  2. 6 o’bloody clock! Is this fixture sponsored by SCC traffic wardens department? They are going to have a field day with parking tickets on places you can normally always park for a match. looking forward to having to use up annual leave to attend a home game.
  3. Thanks for that - I suspect I’ve been to over 1000 matches over almost 50 years I I can’t recall it ever happening more than once in a game - and probably at most once a season too
  4. Yes - the Lino was next to it when the saints fan were calling it out, but this was obviously a joke, as we were suggesting an infringement by our own player. The Hull crowd were making loads of noise about it over the other side - it was a bit weird that the ref jogged all the way over to check twice in quick succession, finding no problem either time. Hardly critical stuff.
  5. What was all that nonsense from the Hull fans continuously claiming the ball wasn’t in the quadrant for our corners? And then the referee going over - twice on the trot - to check this crucial fact and that it was, clearly and obviously, all fine before allow the corner to be taken. lovely touch from the saints fans loudly trying to get him to come over and check for our own corners a few f times after that 🙂 And, of course, the icing on the cake was us scoring the winner in time added on for corner shithousery from the Hull supporters. 🤣🤣🤣
  6. Any ideas when the tickets might get sent out?
  7. I wonder if Ian Branfoot is available?
  8. I also vaguely remember Man City were destroyed in the league cup by a team managed by Nathan Jones, and won every other completion they entered in the same season a while back.
  9. Seem to remember in our first season in league one Norwich lost 7-1 at home in their first game (to Dean Hammond’s Colchester). Fans ripped up their new season tickets and threw them at the manager. They got promoted, two season running.
  10. Seems like a very good window to me - although I did think similar last year as we stood 7th in the league after demolishing Chelsea, with several new signings looking fantastic. Very glad we have a bit more experience and a bit more of a spine to the team now. Pity we failed to shift either of the panic buys from January - but quite a bit of dosh in the bank/reducing the debt. 8 or 9 out of 10. I’m really enjoying the championship so far.
  11. Big Ronisms are definitely in the clear in my book. A personal favourite is someone doing “a great arrive” to slot home.
  12. I think it’s true to say that VAR hasn’t changed this at all - they are just now moaning about VAR decisions, and the inconsistent use of VAR etc etc. of course, they need to talk about something to fill all that air time, meanwhile, I’ve been two games without VAR, six 6 saints goals and two penalties to celebrate instantly and unreservedly. it feels like proper football is back to me.
  13. I think I may have undercooked it. Perhaps it would be more like mccalliog to stokes who may or may not be onside (the linesman has been told to keep his flag down and let play unfold) Nice finish - but let’s see what VAR makes of it Very long wait if only stokes had slightly shorter sleeves he would have won himself a car, and he’s already booked driving lessons ( as the lines are put up on the big screen virtually on top of one another) - and Southampton go mad
  14. The thing is that there is the occasional howler - and you have rightly pointed out the worst one from a saints perspective. Horrendous. but I’m my opinion VAR ruins EVERY goal in every match. also McCalliog to stokes who’s onside 1-0 and Southampton go mad wins himself a car and he’s already booked…. Hang on…. turns out those driving lessons may not have been necessary
  15. Not boring at all - good to watch I thought. In terms of pace - will be difficult for the crowd to get the old “Olé, Olé” going as the passes are often a bit too quick to keep up with, and the moves go on for ages. Compared to most of the possession football I’ve seen from saints in the past there was more variation and an anticipation that it might actually lead to a chance.
