John Boy Saint

Mrs JBS put on the footie highlights show on Channel 5 (cos there was nowt else on she wanted to watch) summariser for the Wigan v Sçüñthorpe game said that the Latics might find their game against us a bit easier than their 3-3 draw today.

Passing for passings sake was the big comment.

Just as an aside I just had a look to see what Nigel Pearson was up to these days, as he is the type of bloke to crack some skulls together and instil a bit of fight. Spotted he is manager of Leuven (the home of Stella Artortoise) then spotted that they are owned by the King Power Thais, so for all the shenanigans that went on at Leicester they must think something of him. Apologies for the digression.

I said this to a fellow Saints fan the other day, they couldn’t believe it.

What a waste of money, should have just given it to Saints Foundation who would have made a billion times more use of it. Carillo and Long in attack............. more bite in a lime jelly.

Of course he will - the team are growing each week.

Andre Marriner is having one of his crappy games Sims farts in the vicinity of a toon player fee kick, Perez shoves PEH in the back nowt.

West Ham Fans trying to get their game abandoned

Burnley playing like Brazil, and the natives getting restless at Wet Spam 2 down now.

Carillo off for Gabbi..............!!!!

I had a query on one of my friends and family so phoned the ticket office, I asked how it selling, all I could get out of the chap was that it was selling well.

Wiley bunch them Juve players, Chellini is one of those players you can’t help dislike, but without doubt the bloke is a grand master in the art of defending. Pochettino had no answer to Allegri playing his joker with his subs.

Without JWP there were times when you Half expected a Saints player to ask the ref if they could borrow his coin to decide who was going to take it.

Just follow the folks with a length of Lino rolled up under their arm and you will be well sorted for the evening.

Going on how well Newcastle and especially West Ham have sold, if they had just opened up the sales willy nilly someone somewhere (especially on here) would be mithering. The next 2 days windows will be the guide as I would imagine that with the team stumbling along, away day purchases this season have been spread a bit more thinly than in previous seasons.

Thank ****

In the game down at SMS this season he was the hub of their team, they looked to get the ball to him every time and every time he passed it on he found his own player, left, right, down the middle, or over the top. We just let them, and him, do it for the whole game.

Are you his publicist? I you ain't I would get your CV in for the job pronto! Tadic fritters away more chances than he makes, and his passion is pointing at everyone else when it goes awry for him. Like I said Saturday 1st half when on the attack he was more interested in the oppo player alongside him than the ball being played to him, for all his self (and your) belief in his abilities he should be getting the ball and skinning the Oppos player, rather than preferring to feint being shot by the sniper in the floodlights (he ain't much cop at pulling that off either). If he were that great we would have been fending off approaches for him every transfer window since he got here.

Tadic on Saturday was shameful, especially in the first half, for all his guile and fancy step overs when warming up, I could not believe the number of times when he was making a run how he spent most of the time looking at the Stoke player tracking him only for the ball that was passed to him trundling past him out of his reach by the time he eventually looked for it.

Blimey that's posh..............that has to be close to being highlight of the whole season!.........those around you must have been looking on in envy!

I'm disappointed that we didn't learn what the soup was at half time, received an honourable mention as the highlight after 45 (50) minutes but we are left hanging!!

Well if that was the best we could fritter £19m away on, when you add in the appointment of Pellegrino I think it’s safe to say that the fabled Black Box is without doubt the Emperors New Clothes under shroud of smoke and mirrors.

Wow some of you are getting you knickers in a right twist, of course everyone wants to know if it on or off with the most notice. This is what the club has stated: Southampton Football Club is anticipating that tomorrow’s Premier League match with Stoke City will proceed as planned. Make sense and leaves the door open should the weather not play ball. I would imagine that the club are pretty keen to get the game on, because I would guess Stoke have travelled and if it’s the same in the Premier league as it is in the League then Saints will be picking up their tab for travel and accommodation if the game is called off.

Snowing hard here just outside Basingstoke

Shouldn't be the pitch as if I remembered correctly we had to plug in the undersoil heating as a requirement of the Premier League possibly UEFA.
