John Boy Saint

Tell you what they ain't taking this seriously Bertrand just lazily motioned his backside at the player as he steamed through to score. So quite honestly no one needs to get in a twist over the score.

That was on last week too, everyone through the turnstiles certainly got good value that night. On Rickies pen, I was at Watford in the Championship season when he took one and videoed it, just about everyone who saw it said that it was a damn good job the net held otherwise he could have killed someone!!!

Have you been drinking???!!! With that in mind, and in these days of political correctness and doing the right thing, the game should be replayed from the point in the game where that error was made. ....... imagine the carnage, you would never see a soft penalty again!

Long might actually come out of this quite well seeing as he gets chuff all by reputation, might find he actually gets some decisions when they find he was actually fouled. Arsenal last season he got raked on the back of the leg, and the ref and lino ignored, no doubt on reputation, leading to their winner. Still the usual suspects will get away with it, just like United still seem to be getting away with haranguing the ref!

Well my first prediction will be that I will not have even the merest thought about leaving my seat before the final whistle this season, as I did last season (thinking about it - not actually doing it that is). Which was a first in 40 years of going down the Saints. PEH and Boufal to relax and show us what they can really do. Tadic to continue to drive us up the wall instead of just shooting, and insisting on taking any penalties that come our way. Romeu to serve 2 suspensions for 5 & 10 bookings before the amnesty dates. impressive wins against the "top 6". Klopp to continue being frustrated at not winning against us. The usual numpties on here proclaiming that the likes of JWP, Stephens, Targett, McQueen, Gallagher, are not Premier League players, and never will be, because they aren't 30ish, don't have glamourous clubs on their CVs, exotic names, and we haven't piddled millions away on buying them. And because of better performances on the pitch than last season, the whole stadium will be singing along to the "We are Southampton" song by Christmas.

............. offence taken!!!!! Wash your mouth out with soap young man!! Without a doubt keeper error, poor bloke couldn't even blame the sun getting in his eyes as it was at his back, just a ball dropping out of a blue sky giving no perception of speed just coming at him, adjust one step back, two, three - all senses gone........... I would like to think that Matt just thought that he would pull the pin out and just toss an awkward ball into the box for everyone to fight over, not expecting it to go in. My point was more his second.......... just wow! I was stunned enough to still be seeing it now!

It was either my imagination or my stream that needed refreshing, but I thought Tadic was very quiet on Saturday especially second half. Be interesting to see how he fairs with the new boss. Last season Puel painted himself into a corner with Dusan, by blowing sunshine up his backside (bit like Redmond - the new Henry) saying he wanted to build the team round him, which made Tadic think he was instantly Billy Big whatsits, then when he didn't put in the performances getting the hump at being subbed, having a moan making the manger keep him on the pitch when just about everyone in the ground except Puel could see he was the player to be changed. Pretty sure we would all like to see the Tadic when he first turned up at SMS this season, and not the Tadic who repeatedly lost the ball cheaply and blaming everyone else on the pitch for doing so that we had last season.

I'm with you too.

Should work a treat - on a "Saturday afternoon if you see the number of folks who will walk through turnstiles of the 92 clubs there would be an appetite for this from we the people.

Blimey Nordic, you want to be careful, these players of whom you speak, these names spoken will be viewed in some quarters on these here pages as heresy. Take care my friend.

didnt say he would start just said he was posing a question......... Blimey Charlie!

Saint-Étienne boss ain't going to be happy with this result a week before the season kicks off.

Matty Targett posing the boss some questions and good on him.

Postie has been and Mrs JBS will be happy!

Thank you Mr Grapefruit .............. See I am ready for the French stream......... Bonnet de Douche: back of the net.

Hopefully a holiday, a good full pre season will do him the world of good. There is no doubt he has talent, but there were times last season where you felt he was trying too hard, some of it probably down to (as mentioned already) playing catch up with his new team mates, wondering if his knee operation will allow him to do what he could do, and at only 23 having the weighty tag as Southamptons most expensive player. Seems a likeable chap, hopefully he can relax and sparkle for us this season.

Come on Monk they have your ear............................... spin us another one.............................. Pleeeeeeeze! This time Tom back him up just to qualify it!

That excuse went out the window about 5 years ago in her mid 40's............. I will get "so wheres mine!!!". .............. You will enjoy the hot flushes (personal summers) when they kick in Angelman, especially in bed: one minute you have all the duvet (and I mean ALL) few minutes later no bloody duvet!

Quick mate get on to Steve Grant and get him to open up a pop up advert facility for you on your page and get selling that space sharpish!!!

Mine arrived but not Mrs JBS's, might be a bit of friction when she gets home!!

Lets hope that this is just what he needs, playing regularly and for a lad with comparative small stature getting some decent experience and even more hardening up against some of the monsters that inhabit many Championship teams....... not that he has ever seemed to have a problem in this department.

Be nice to see a bit of reciprocation from some of the other clubs in the league for us away fans, it's not as if gate receipts from away fans 1 game in the season is going to dent much of their income when total gate receipts are seen as a mere grain of sand in the grand scheme of the millions sloshing around in the Premier League. Tight whatsits

Well this is West Ham's ticket website, £20!! https://www.whufc.com/tickets/match-tickets/away-matches/southampton-v-west-ham-united-0 i wouldn't have thought seeing as Virgin have a banner with £20 is plenty in their current TV advert they would have carried on, Swansea look like they are using it to boost their Jack membership.

Don't forget Virgin are still subsidising the away fans with their £20 is plenty, that does make us an appealing day out for many away fans.
