John Boy Saint

After Tadic has has had sunshine blown up his bum this last week, tonight he resorted to type and Boufal trots onto the pitch and suddenly we have 2 Fabrice Fernandes on the pitch!! The boy obviously has talent, he just need to learn when to be a show pony and when to be a donkey and dig in.

i can remember 2 old choocks, doing this at the back of the Junior Saints corner at SMS, the sun on their backs through the back of their stand, they were putting the world to rights chatting away, every time the ball went near the goal they shut up and gave their tuppence worth towards the pitch. right now we have a bloke sitting near us who drinks coffee all game, listens to the Solent commentary like one of them annoying people with their iPod turned up too high on the tube, and looks at people like they have 2 heads if they show any emotion towards the game. Tonight told a bloke in front of him to sit down when he was giving Swarbrick a piece of his mind, questioned why our on supporters were booing when Gabbi was subbed and not supporting the team........... then effed off on 80 minutes??!!!

I cant believe that was 21 years ago............................................... I feel a bit old eek:

An elderly couple who had both been widowed, had been going out with each other for a long time.# Urged on by their friends, they decided that it was finally time to get married. Before the wedding they went out to dinner and had a long conversation regarding how their marriage might work. They discussed finances, living arrangements, and so on. Finally, the old gentleman decided it was time to broach the subject of their physical relationship. "How do you feel about sex?" he asked rather tentatively. "I would like it infrequently" she replied. The old gentleman sat quietly for a moment, adjusted his glasses, leaned over towards her and whispered - "Is that one word or two?"

I heard a sweet elderly Lady saying a prayer: Dear Lord, the past couple of years have been very tough for me You've taken - My favourite actor, Patrick MacNee My favourite horror actor, Christopher Lee My favourite comedian Robin Williams My favourite singers, Cilla Black, Joe Cocker, and David Bowie My favourite author Tom Clancy And finally my favourite presenter Sir Terry Wogan So Lord, I just wanted you to know that my favourite politicians are: Tony Blair, Jeremy Corbyn, Jacob Zuma, and that stupid loud mouthed cow from Scotland

:lol:

A little old man shuffled slowly into an Ice Cream Parlour and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool. After catching his breath he ordered a Banana split. The Waitress kindly asked "Crushed Nuts?" "No" he replied "Arthritis"

Exactly

Oooooooo that's blatant heresy, you'll be getting a Bat up your night-shirt when you least expect it for proclaiming such wicked words. Some nipper who cut his teeth with first team football for Swindon, over a bloke who hasn't played for a year but has years of experience in the pedestrian Serie A!!!!......................... Crikey probably get your mouth washed out with carbolic soap too!!

Sat in Palafrugell watching Pochettinos first pre season game with us, we were sat with Jos Hooiveld, and Maya Yoshida up in the stands. Jos was happy chatting, my Wimbledon supporting mate was asking allsorts of questions and Jos was happy to oblige with answers. My mate asked him what was the main difference between Adkins and Pochettino as we had obviously improved, Jos replied "defending" "We just could not defend - now we defend from the front".

Far more annoying is the careless greedy whatsit who took far too much Mustard on their hotdog, no doubt using the last of it up!!!

According to someone further up the page he has been!!

Bloody cheeky bugger, there ain't no flat caps and blankets in the Chapel ............... yet! You are getting us confused with the middle of the Kingsland where there is a risk of scalding if they haven't screwed the lid on the Thermos before nodding off. The Chapel is quiet compared to the Northam and Itchen north, but it's full of folks who were the Northam in the 70's & 80's. what you find happens is folks drop into a trance like state of being absorbed in the game. Especially as the quality of football has a little more finesse than it had in the '70s especially. It's hard to explain, I use to sit with the landlord of the Junction Pub, when we walked away from the game, Mrs JBS would often comment that me and him were on a different planet, we would hold a conversation about the game as it went on like we were somewhere else. She said it was quite surreal at times: I guess 95% of the time most folks around me are "somewhere else" during the game. On the fipside the Northam isn't as noisy as it once was. c'est la Vie

Spot on, as I said elsewhere when Man U spend big they expect the player to be complete and self maintaining, his Mum and Dad got their knickers in a twist because they felt poor little Luke was getting no support and being left all on his own to fend for himself. £27m + and talk about being on c £400k per week, in any other business on that kind of outlay they own your backside and expect a return. That said Mrs Martial did not like it here because there was no support from the club, he has fizzled out too. It has nowt to do with our academy, him, and Morgan for that matter, have gone from being bigish fish in a small pond, to just smaller fish in a big lake......... if anything they have been let down by their Agents and advisors for not looking after their investment.

At some point early this season there was mention that Puel wanted to build the team round Tadic, unfortunately it seemed like this had gone to Dušans head a little and as a result frustrated both Puel and us in the stands with his over playing. I thought last night was his best performance for a long time by keeping it simple, and amazingly not flouncing about at decisions from ref and being all theatrical when tackled. That made the team look so much better. With regard to their goal even before the ball had reached Townsend I thought this is looking dangerous, and so it proved to be. Nice to see the 12th man having a hand in our equaliser, when Davo out muscled Zaha (?) right in front of the lino, Mr East had been getting so much grief of all of us fans he probably feared blowing his whistle for that. That said some shocking decisions made on his part. If only our strike force had been more effective this season we could have getting right in the mix up at the top, let's hope this summer we take a serious look at young Gallagher as Gabbi and him could be the Pelle and Mané we have been missing this season. For all those numpties getting all emotional about not seeing Caceres on the pitch, at half time when the subs came out for a kick about he was passing back and forth with Sims, who I thought was our standard identikit blonde academy midget from up in the stands, but Sims looked much bigger than Caceres who was wearing a big puffy bench coat, he looked better built to cover Cedric than Maya and Jack.

And Fonte was bloody perfect?!!!!!!!............ give it a rest.

After much research, primarily based on the deep knowledge pool found on Saints Web. The board decide to sign every academy player of the right age on to long contracts and put them up for sale at the highest possible price, to boost the £30m already in the pot even further. With this now bulging purse they will scour the earth for every exotic sounding player from only countries with an historic footballing pedigree, who can kick a ball and sign him up, any additional wages will be covered through winding down the academy project, which ,according to this extensive research, only produces young players with limited experience and absolutely no future in football in the top flight if they are lucky.

I was surprised also as he is under 6 foot tall, I don't think there is much wrong with Maya and Jack. All Jack needs to do is adjust his timing to win more balls in the air, that aside he looks very comfortable on the pitch. Maya Yoshida is very underrated, but then only smart people can see how good he actually is, and for those of you who don't think him and Jack talk being sat behind the goal on Saturday Maya was talking to Jack all the time. Ah but hang-on it's not a sexy enough line up, bloke from Japan and a nipper out of the academy, in footballing top trumps a bloke from South America beats them every time............ Surely??!!

I thought for a 0-0 it was quite an entertaining game few heart in mouth moments, and neither team could hit a cows backside with a banjo. Anyone mithering about Puel and his tactics needs to pull their head out of the cows backside we can't hit. If you were actually at the game he was doing his nut at some of the horse poo our players elected to play. There is no end product J Rod is shot, Shane Long is just playing roulette...... Tadic (did some joker say he was given MOTM?) if he wants to play for some one bigger than Saints, well Dušan stop flapping your hands about at everyone, you can't bloody fly mate, play to the bloody whistle, and concentrate on hitting the ball for a simple quick pass that finds the man in a Saints shirt. Thought Yoshida, Stephens, Davis, Romeu stood out.......... but we miss a focal point that we have when Gabbi is in the team, and had with Pelle sprinkled with the randomness of Mane. Just hope this is a transition season............... we were due one sooner or later (I know broken record) given the amount of players we hemorrhage every summer.

Pardon?

Surprised no one has posted these for the benefit of the debate. I think if you let the Marsden one run through on You Tube auto pilot you get Mattys Hollywood Fairy Tale goal v Arsenal just to get you in the mood for this evening

Must have set off early and got lost already

Blimey we have stepped back into the 1970'szzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Can anyone remember how to get to St Marys.......... its been so long the I fear I might get lost along the way. That said the pitch must look absolutely superb.

I know this isn't weather web, in China few years back just got missed by a Typhoon reading China Today the next morning, Taiwan had copped it and had 1.15 Meters of rain dumped on it! I asked a local if this was a typo "No" came the reply: imagine the carnage here. Sorry for the digression............ Carry on ............ Hang on just remembered a SMS fact to bring it back on stream. When the stadium was built it was claimed the pumps under the pitch could handle 8" of rain in an hour!! Unfortunately as we found out the drains taking water away from SMS can't handle anywhere near that. right, interlude over......... Is it Saturday yet??!!!
