John Boy Saint

Gao: Wonderful!! Liverpool on the TV what a treat!!

You can't beat a perpetual thread title

Cripes!! We better enter into negotiations with Eastleigh to discuss a ground share with them - with that criteria of entry if you add in the foam hands and face paints to the prohibitions, we should just about fill the Silverlake stadium!! ..............oh and I had better find something else to do on a home game Saturday!

Next home game there will be lots of cute fluffy puppies outside the ground pre match and sweeties on everyone’s seats once inside.

Bet he still has his Socialist Worker delivered by subscription just to seen to be keeping him in touch with his fellow comrades fighting the capitalist oppressors!

I have always liked football, I guess making the trips down the Saints from North Hampshire in my early teens cemented that. I hated Rugby Union probably because at the same time it was the first sport on the PE agenda at the school I went to, but jeez what (to me at the time) a frustrating game, all the games teacher seemed to be doing was blow his flipping whistle every 5 seconds, bizarrely I did enjoy watching Rugby League I guess because of the flow of the game by comparison. As I have gotten older I can quite happily sit through a 6 nations game and more often than not enjoy it, I suppose it’s a bit like never really enjoying Red Wine in my late teens and early twenties, and now it’s the first thing I peruse on the win3 list in a restaurant.

Blimey the KNVB must have gone into super grovel mode after the stink between them and Ronald, when Koeman was ignored when Van Gaal stepped down.

Think you will find that the cheering was more people's shock at a double sub at half time as opposed to 78 minutes and 37 seconds.

Am I missing something here?! Boycott the next away game against WBA? Which I believe is this coming Saturday? Today is Thursday so today - tomorrow- Matchday. I would imagine that like me most people will have already got their preparation to go sorted 2 days before an away game, so the only thing they would be doing is shooting themselves in the wallet and foot at the same time. Club wouldn't give a tinkers cuss because they would have already have recouped the bulk away ticket allocation outlay.

Cynic in me wonders if we do have our very own Oyston.

........... I thought Chinese Triad hit men.

As someone pointed out a couple of years ago, under the current fair play money rules that now exist in the Football League. If today was the day Markus walked into the club sat in league one, we would not have been able to rise back to the top in the style and speed that we did due to the spending restrictions now in place. Newcastle (and probably Burnley) was an anomaly as they seemed to manage to keep some good players in their squad after relegation, which enabled them to bounce back, look at so many others who have dropped through the trap door they have languished in mid table or lower ever since. Anyone thinking it will be a cake walk should the worse happen ain't living in the real world of football.

I have one of them sat behind me, Spurs game it was becoming like a dripping tap, he doesn't get emotional standing up swearing at the players, he is a bit like Harry Enfield's character "ooo you don't want to do it like that...... You want to do it like this". Recent weeks the impressionable young chap sat next to him has been drawn into his whirlpool, and it's slowly becoming a double act of negativity, and cobblers.

The half time Relay went totally to pot without Kenzie v Spurs, one poor little mite ran away in tears, and the final leg went haywire!! ............. oooo its the thin end of the wedge, just mark my words!!

You have to wonder whether we rushed him back too soon after he limped off in the added minutes of the Chelsea game just before Christmas...... being a touch cynical; World Cup on the horizon you would imagine that players in the reckoning to go will be getting neurotic to any little tweek.

Saints v WBA away jeez zzzzzzzzz

13:00 Monday lunchtime was the norm so you are right Trousers

5th Round FA Cup - going to be Man U

Yup......... he even had a go in charge when Shakespeare got the tin tack. Regardless of the fact that he managed our friends to the East, not a bad bloke to have as an assistant.

Can't see them matching his £260k per week - Jinan v Stratford Hmmmm tough one. I suppose it's closer to home, and if you can get someone to keep filling your wallet with Premier League pay packets, you may as well stay on the horse if it wants to keep going.

Before everyone gets their knickers in a total twist "a couple of months ago", which as others have pointed out after a steady run in the team was when he ends up nowhere near the team, yet a bad smell was being pandered to. Any of us with any ambition would be pretty hacked off if we were treated like he has been at work, 1st team football to not even making the bench treated like a green academy nipper. If I was him I would voice similar thoughts to my immediate family, anyone who thinks otherwise will be typing any response to this with their nose. Once again today Happy Birthday Jack.

2-1 chalked off by Andre Mariner "in a non descript business park near Heathrow".

Tottenham found our Premier League standard bowling green of a pitch tricky last weekend, they must be hating the Newport Pitch.

Bkackmore and Merrington both agree Carillo has no pace

Just got an eye on Soccer Saturday - West Ham trailing v Wigan, WH have had a player sent off for.................. SPITTNG!!! That really is a terrible thing to be sent off for these days.
