InvictaSaint

Mods, can we have a single thread for all spare ticket conversations please? They are cluttering up the main board.

Yellow according to the programme from Friday night.

Cook now recalled by Brighton, although no word on whether he will definitely play.

The 'Goal' article refers to his homeland as France. Is that right?!

Adkins seemed to indicate in his post match interview on Solent that Fonte would be back for Monday. I wonder if the 4 bookings not becoming 5 was more of an issue..... In any case, Martin looked fine to me.

Absolutely - not helped by divots driving as if there were no rain, and only 5 feet from your a.rse....

Just driven down from north Kent, and whilst rain on M3 was horrible, an now in Highfield and it's barely drizzling. Game on, no problem IMO.

Roger de Courcy and Nookie the bear.

This ^^^^. Best summary of the night.

M25 closed 16-15 acw because of accident. Minimum 30 mins delays (more likely 1hr). Probable rubber necking on clockwise side which will lead to unnecessary queues on that side too.

Have a wonderful Christmas everybody; raise a glass or two to all the Saints in your lives, past and present.

Nothing to back up my hunch, but I think you may well end up being right......

lol :-)

But those aren't answers to my questions, are they? And, by your logic, we should go for players and, if we can't get them, go for other players who, by definition, must be second choice and therefore inferior. How is that decisive? Your proposal simply advocates the Lowe approach you roundly criticised in one of your earlier posts on this thread: lots of substandard players rather than a few quality players. Pipe on standby; will await proper answers to my original questions.

I would like simple answers to these questions: 1. How did we 'fanny around'? In what way? 2. How should we be more 'decisive and aggressive'? Tell Bristol City to lower their ridiculous asking price for Maynard? Hold a gun to Billy Sharp's head to convince him he really should move? Ignore Fontaine's failed medical? Hope he doesn't end up like Delgado? In the absence of any semi-reasonable responses to the above I will take your silence as conclusive evidence of the total invalidity of your 'arguments', and the fact that you are simply a wind-up merchant.

"Netbusters" on Sky will show goals on 28th and, I would imagine, after the NYE and NYD +1 games too. Goals only (and, irritatingly, set to music) but better than nothing.

Couldn't say, I'm afraid Trousers. Just thought it interesting that the same positive sounds were coming from a few unrelated sources / posters. Time will inevitably tell I suppose....

Lots of noise from different sources on the striker thread that Sharp to Saints in early Jan is pretty much a done deal.

Most sensible and rational post of the day; I doff my cap to you, sir.

In the spirit of the Great Man: Negative: Poor corner given away by Harding and poor defending on the line by Guly Positives: We didn't lose to the fishy ones We are top by a point going into 2 Xmas home games 5 times out of last 6 seasons team top going into Xmas has gone up Lambert was immense Hooiveld showed why we were right to buy him

Some sanity, at last.

There were two I could discern: "Stand up if you've ****ged his wife" And "you're **** and your wife's a slag" Not pleasant, really.

OP in looking for cloud in silver lining when top of the league after almost half a season shock.

Be that as it may, worth noting that we would not have equalised when we did had Lallana not skipped his way around a couple of players on the edge of the box before the ball eventually reached Richardson who crossed for Rickie to score.

This is the problem with people like you; everything you see is either black or White. Either you're an insightful realist (or however you perceive yourself) or the absolute antithesis: a "happy clappy". And, in true Tory tradition, you use alternative opinions as a stick to beat people with. You may even be the complete fu.c.ktard who told me at the end not to clap my team off "because they're rubbish and Adkins is ****". Sad. Terribly sad.
