St Landrew

Ah, that old chestnut. Don't get me started on the fans who decide that however exciting the game might be, they just can't wait to get to the bar or to their cars. I once witnessed a bloke who turned up 15 minutes late, and went to the bar 10 mins early. He arrived back about 10 mins after HT and left for his transport with about 10 mins to spare + injury time. In all, he missed the equivalent of an entire half. I mean, what was the point in going..?

You're not supposed to mention Tranmere. I did once during the game, and didn't get away with it.

Well, that bumps this thread back up and saves me finding it. Listened to Pardew after the latest match. He was actually pretty happy with the performance, but a bit peeved that we conceded again. It's something he knows and said he needs to work on. Thought the scoreline slightly flattered Northampton, but appreciated their industry. Pretty much how I saw it in my mind's eye, via the radio commentary.

I think Hammond is actually rather good.

No, you are quite correct TDD. But let's leave the details of how Saints could do better for an hour or two. All people want to do at present is to be pleased with the win.

Ft 3-2

Penalty..! Cobblers score. Oh well 3-2. Different to 3-1, at least.

Here please.

I'm suitably envious mate. Pasta for me, with a little Shiraz, and perhaps a little spirit later on.

3 minutes + injury time to go.

Antonio on, Lallana off.

Yeah, I agree. Whoopi Goldberg off for Cobblers. Other than that, Saints seem to have quietened the game down.

No doubt you've blocked it out. Understandable: Saints were 3-0 up at HT

Can I just say... Tranmere Rovers..? Or would that be too nasty..?

3-1

3-0 or no..? Yes 3-0. Hammond scores, I think.

Whoopi Goldberg playing well. Bart screwing up a bit. It's all experience though.

Murty off the line. He's earned his salary this week.

Here please

I suppose we shouldn't get complacent, because Northampton could easily have 2 goals of their own. Still 2-0 HT.

Want to adjust that to 2-0..?

Lallana 2-0

Another Lambert assist. And to think I thought he was a bit off it lately. Can't really complain when he pitches in with assists as well.

Waigo scores..!

Waigo beats offside trap, and wasted effort by being tracked back and tackled.
