Tough question as whilst injury prone, he does seemingly have an intelligent footballing brain, whilst PEH is a good captain, watching Ings from in the stadium yesterday he does direct traffic well off the ball talks a lot to team mates with positioning etc. Actually with him on the pitch we have a decent spine Maya at the back is intelligent and Bednarek seems to be willing to soak up all his advice, the 2 of them seem to talk more than Maya to Vestergaard. PEH is still a bit raggedy but is solid presence, and as said Ings up top is intelligent too. Fair play to Sims he does like running and has no fear, if he nails his composure infront of goal he will easily surpass Redmond simply due to faster speed of thought. I like Boly for them, but he was getting a bit windy with Sims buzzing around him and at him. That front line yesterday if it ticks could be a bit handy. I did think when we went back in front that it might have been "one of those afternoons" with a silly score line. Substitutions were spot on Romeu to add a bit of steel to midfield, and poor old Boly must have gone "good getting rid of Sims" "oh hang on fresh speed coming on" I said to my mate after the game that it was like that Formula E where they swap cars mid race due to battery power. Shane Long after he scored that goal all of a sudden looked like a huge weight had come off his shoulders, 2 in 2, it looked like he got a fresh spring in his step. Bizarre observation of the afternoon, from a possible attacking position we passed it back again towards Gunny, the whole ground groaned collectively, at that moment I glanced over to the technical area, and Raplh is standing there motioning with his hands for the crowd to relax and calm down!!!

Bit late to the news, on first reading this the first thing that popped into my head. ......................of course 1 or 2 might have put on one of their surveys that they would only renew if that Krueger fellow wasn't around

As no one will turn up to vote at the possible European Elections, I have decided to put myself up as a candidate to be elected to the European Parliament with a manifesto that will ensure I get votes just for a laugh. i will show willing for the first week then play the MEPs game of sign in and swan about, I will make full use of all the benefits for me and my family as an MEP - by the time I get thrown out on Halloween I should have accrued enough money in my pension pot to make sure I can keep the fire on throughout my old age. So remember Vote for John Boy Saint!! Thank you

If you're top 6 they'll adapt the rules to fit, if you are outside that club they'll beat you with a stick. The fact that Man City are pretty much an overseas State owned company and nowt is said, yet we might be owned by the Chinese state and we become persons of interest, pretty much sums up my tongue in cheek response. If we were Chinese State owned and they threw in all the chicanery that City have done to make sure the expenditure fits the rules, pumping a nice heap of the vast State wealth into Saints would probably upset the apple cart at the top of the league. -

If they can install a mobile signal cell that works 100% in the stadium on a matchday, I would have no issue with their name on our shirt...........might have to guard the internet settings mind. -
From recall he has been one of the better ones for us overall, this is an easy match with no superstar teams involved, so unless Uncle Les has sent an email down the corridor to the PGMOL to nobble us. It could well be good ole Mr Moss struggling to keep up with play now and again with a steady hand on the tiller, actually in that stupid o'clock boxing day game v Arsenal a few years back (Martina night) he was giving us the short end of the stick to start with, once we got going after the goal he was letting quite a bit slide in our favour including a cheeky little off the ball take out of Kolscelny by Mr Long in the build up to one of our goals, they moaned he seemingly went "whatever"!...................4th Official Marriner can't do much harm there:just worry when he is the man in the van on the VAR next season.

Well thats it I've waited up until 01:03 on the 10th April and still nothing about the season tickets to be seen anywhere.......................night! -
Saw my customer up in Wolverhampton today, he went with his sons on Sunday. them and everyone who walked through the door is just shell shocked at being so so close, then picked holes in the managers substitutions . They have no idea which Wolves might turn up on Saturday, but as I left they all said 1-1 on Saturday.
-
That would be a return to the past, only stopped because the Knickers as they were once referrred to years ago, just got lighter after each wash, get the Amber shirt and Black shorts for the away (like Wolves) too and we will have stepped right back in time.

Bertrand knew even without that booking that if he had chopped down Salah, Tierney would have been reaching for his top pocket to present him with the first shot at the hot water in the showers card. So you are perfectly happy with our poor showing at 99.9% of our throw ins? (Which is the main subject)
-
I happily stand corrected - still the fact remains our play from throw ins is pretty woeful, he had been ticked off already by the ref earlier, and booked cheaply on the 3rd occaision. With Bertie booked it probably lead to Valery, who had been booked earlier in the season for the same offence just throwing it out of play for a Liverpool goal kick.
-
Stevie Wonder would be better value
-
Probably the last time he did it. As an aside -That John Stead who scored their second is still playing!!!
-
Pretty certain read somewhere that on Soccer Saturday the games they each cover are not their own team for impartiality reasons, and Matty has said that he wouldn't want to cover a Saints game because there is no way he could control his emotions.
-
Bloody tourist!!! :D
-
Gosh I hadn’t thought of that - why would we be time wasting at 2-1 down?
-
May as well toss into the mix, from a full goal kick the ball always goes left where it’s busy, you would have thought a bit of guile make to go left and suddenly launch it right for Valery to run onto and whip into the box?

Watford to lift the cup for me, said last week the winner to come from this semi.
