My daughter knows if she can come to games at the 11th hour, and had mentioned this comment about tickets with "restricted view" had started popping up. From what she could work out was the seats were low down and the men running the steady cam could be in your line of sight! Seems a bit PC if true especially as Crystal Palace have restricted view seats for the poor sods in the 1st block of the away section and QPR couldn't give a stuff for away fans on the top deck of the stand stuffed up in the corner all for top prices.

Come on someone post that photo of Kirk off Coronation Street and his Dad looking hacked off.

Jonathan Moss on the whistle for this game: one of the better ones for us.

That is good news, the way it was done when the Family stand was expanded into block 20 a couple of seasons back absolutely stank, every normal adult season ticket holder who had their seat in that block from day one at SMS went online and were refused a renewal without explanation. Early visitors to the ticket office window were told NO you can't renew those seats unless you are buying a junior ticket too. My mate went down to renew for the four of us together with an inkling of this but wanted to give is tuppence worth as he was a bit puddled off at the bugger you attitude about it all. Started the warming up to be Mr Angry but then backed down when he saw the young lady behind the glass had a look on her face of "oh no not another one please"....... I heard that someone further up the chain in customer relations decided that those of us to be evicted needn't be informed. So you will be having to mind your P's & Q's during the game from next season then.

Little 5 year old Mary sees a group of workmen turn up next door to build an extension. She takes an interest and starts to talk to them. The builders, with hearts if gold, adopt her as their site mascot. After a week they present her with a Pink hard hat and gloves. Even a wage packet of £5. "Goodness" says Mummy smiling, "are you working there next week?". Mary replies: "I think so Mummy, provided those w**kers at Travis Perkins deliver the f**kin bricks!!".

Still is, its on that road between the A32 south of Alton and Petersfield!

Chris Marsden Football Genius proper maisie run........... if he had been a Brazilian they would still be showing it today.

The commentators on Sky commented that it was strange the officials had resumed the game before letting Southampton make their substitution

Redmond gets a run out replacing Lallana, nice one

Chinese Government not only have slammed the lid on Johnnie Foreigners over populating their football teams by sticking in a quota per team. But they have also recently slapped restrictions on big Chinese money being invested overseas rather than at home where it's needed. So this staged buying could well be Lander zig-zagging to get the Chinese Government off their scent.

If you notice most clubs only poach the Violinists off us, never the roadsweepers.

Don't forget Eastbourne Borough or Dover Athletic

Give him time............. while the baying mob try and figure out how to build the ducking stool alongside the boating lake up the Common.

This is a true story, proving how fascinating the mind of a six year old is. They think so logically. A teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class. She came to the part of the story where first pig was trying to gather the building materials for his home. She read. 'And so the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and said: 'Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?' The teacher paused then asked the class: 'And what do you think the man said?' One little boy raised his hand and said very matter-of-factly... 'I think the man would have said - 'Well, F#ck me!! A talking pig!' The teacher had to leave the room.

Jeez I will have a couple of bags of what you are spouting, my roses will love it. "Clearly 4th maybe 5th" Who the chuffing hell is in front of him, matey we have on loan? who ain't played for a 1st team game for a year then Gardos. So your order of things is VVD, Caceres, Yoshida, GardosStephens................ thank the lord you ain't nowhere near football management.

Spurs fans singing the he's one of our own inserting Andre Mariners name

Davis is having a mare, absolutely fast asleep on that free kick that said if he had connected the ball would have been in the building site behind the stand.

Mr Burt hasn't run the line for Mr Marriner since the Cup Final, he wasn't sanctioned for his faux pas in our game either as he was running the line in the Spurs game the following weekend. If you wish to enjoy his line running skills he will be putting in a appearance in the Citeh v Liverpool game straight after ours. Hood down Anorak off!

Given who her Dad is, she probably knows more about football than most of us numpties posting on here.

Yeah for goodness sake please don't give them an excuse to have a rumage through the bin for those old ropey speakers to put back up. That Southampton My way song is funny, because it gets abuse on here, yet when it gets played at SMS you can hear more and more people singing along towards the end, and it always gets a good round of applause. (Not it's not "thank F that's over") ....... my mate started off "oh no not that bloody song", then stood at Wembley when they gave us a little snippet I was just about to gee him up to start singing along, but before I could he was already singing along!!!!!!. :lol:

That is amazing, in the context of the game where the Man U players were taking turns to take Hazard out, that was 10 times more obviously deliberate than Mings on Ibrahimovic. The other thing is Referees have the power to book players for talking at them too much in protest, and have done this season. Nathan Redmond has been done at least twice this season. I think the new rule was designed to stop the ref getting crowded and Harangued...... Yet we saw Man U crowding the ref in the EFL Cup Final, and on Monday night Man U did it to the point where they are up on a charge from the FA for haranging the referee, which will no doubt result in a fine of insignificant value compared to the wealth of Man U. Yet Michael Oliver (who always looks officious) had the perfect weapon in his pocket and the rule book to back him up: all he had to start doing was taking names and they would have backed away very quickly...... If the yellows added up to 5+ they would have been fined too.

But would they, like I said earlier there is a jaundiced view of JWP here. Whilst Gareth Southgate might not be viewed as the most dynamic of managers he must see something in James to have made him Captain of the Young Lions especially when you see the array of "more exciting" young players who have been in the team with him. .......... mentioning Tom Cleverley in the same sentence as JWP should having you washing your mouth out with soap!!

Trouble is there are people who, and have, persistently mithered about him are so use to griping about him that if he scored a hat trick 3 games running would still be mithering about him. I certainly wished he believed in himself a bit more, which he now seems to be doing. About mid way through last season I thought he had become a bit more combative, in the 3-2 Liverpool game I think it was Skrtel he turned inside out and put him on his backside, nicked the ball, and set up our 3rd. The praise towards him was very scant almost dismissive and the preferred line (shamefully from Saints fans) was more towards Minolets poor kick out. In a few of the Europa games this season he was getting stuck in like he was slightly possessed and on the edge of getting carded, maybe all those England games taught him where the line is.......... now there is a habit of knocking him, regardless of how he plays, from certain quarters its going to be hard to shake that off. Maybe there should be a poll: Who would you rather have in midfield JWP or Clasie. ............ and neither is not an optional response.

Sorry my fault.......... started "watching" that blooming betting site and it went t it's up.

Wish I hadn't started watching that site now.......... 2 pens in quick succession ain't too clever.
