Link? Ta

BTW - any idea of the crowd?

Superb timing.. do it again!

Hmmm, as I live in northern Italy, how about a few training games here (the altitude helps the lung power) plus a few games here and in Switzerland (for Marcus) and Austria. If they did I might even jump in my car and be a desperate Saints fan...

Go to St Denys.. The Junction, South-Western and Dolphin all serve ggod beer and the clientele are intelligent enough to get really ****ed off with people who get upset with somebody supporting another team... you might get a bit of informed banter, though...

Lambert appeared to be struggling, a bit under the weather, although that might have been my internet stream freezing.... I had a horrible feeling beforehand that me watching Saints live would continue a 3 year tradition of not seeing them win. James' crossing is accurate enough but from far too deep, our defence was generally slow both mentally and physically. Lallana and Schneiderlin were OK, but I wish the latter could shoot. Antonio still seems to be an impact sub as he was definitely hiding before he got taken off (rightly IMHO). Oh well, let's hope they've got it out of their system and AP will make sure they learn from the experience.

b******s, seized

Just watching the pre-match stuff at home in the Alps: good ol' technology! Shall I have the Adnams Broadside, Marstons Pedigree or Fullers ESB: best go down to the cellar and get some of all of them! Please let me see them win....

Ooh guys, let's do it again!!

..and the the parade through Southampton.. My Grandad from Eastleigh was getting on a bit by then, but sat in his chair in Portswood and raising his stick to the coach with a big grin on his face: he was noticed by Ossie who nudged a team-mate.. makes me wet-eyed to think of it...

I was a student at S Uni, and just happened to be a Saints fan..... We organised a coach up to Wemberley and had a great day.The lads and lasses who organised the banners over the M3 did a great job (and I believe there were a few on the M1 on the way into London from the North too!). It wasn't just a Soton thing. Being there was great, but the journey back was magic too, let alone that night in Southampton City Centre... you'll forgive me if memories are hazy...!

Oh, bugger off all of you! :-) I can't remember but it was late sixties and I still reckon I beat Duncan!:-) If any of you have read Fever Pitch.. I lived in the same town, went to the same Maidenhead United games mentioned in the book, and had freedom to go up to London on my own at an early age (how times change)... So it would have been Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, etc. I definitely remember a 3-1 win at Spurs with Chivers scoring 2.. I was on The Shelf and cheering for the opposition was definitely not a good idea!

I must be getting old; I identified most of those players including Jones although I didn't remember his first name..

More like a big greasy fry-up!

I'll take that URL to footie training tonight and ask my teammates at Friday training what they think.:-) Bit obvious, comes to mind! I reckon the refs here are quite the opposite... far too protective, but I would say that, wouldn't I.:-)

He's probably worried about getting the wrong train on the South Coast line and having to change at Fratton.

True, and we've done it in women's football too, where you stand in the centre circle thinking "thank christ I wasn't a bloke in 1914". I must admit it's strange that noobody knows exactly why we were wearing the black arm-bands, and maybe that's a bigger issue than the fact itself.

Well.... I have my own opinions, and have, occasionally, made my views known for particular points - and even believe certain posters are incorrigibly stuck in positions that are less than helpful, but..... guys... let's _all_ be positive..

"too many" for goodness sake, "too many"..... :-)

PM? As an ex-Emsworth resident this is exactly what we expect from RC residents! How is The Castle these days, anyway?

Ah, the Maidenhead United chant.... "We hate Slough and Slough Town, we hate Slough and Slough l we hate Slough and Slough Town, Slough Town we hate you, dum dum dum,!" .... To the tune of "Land of Hope and Glory" Any of you who have read Nick Hornby will understand...

Either way happy people (well, saints fans) all over the world and a bit of extra advertising for the Bristol Rope Company!

No longer can I pretend to catch up on the housework whilst sitting at the laptop. Actually there's only me to please and I have fairly low standards but even I have to admit my flat is a tip at the moment.

Well, that was good of them to wait until I got back from footie training to provide me with 5 goals and a Saints win. Time for a shower and to quarantine the sweaty sports bra.:-)

Just in from footie training - no shower - but have P2P feed - how are we playing?
