John Boy Saint

Stripy glasses off - great goal not convinced with Holgate on his first 45 minutes

Ok deflection off Downes

Still. In bed - hey ho

Just said the same to Mrs JBS

There you go thread closed - he is off to Getafe on loan.

Good - his body language on Saturday “warming up” during the game was very half arsed. Last season as soon as it got mildly hot in the kitchen he was looking to out of the heat.

Coming back! - I thought we still had the bugger on one of those Chelsea 'esk 20 year contracts and that the umpteenth loan with an option to buy had finally found a Carillo from Monaco to Southampton type of sucker club to opt in!

They are after the 2034 World Cup - sport washing is easy - getting of a stain like him much harder.

Shame really as I quite liked him, understandably a bit Marmite - Based on the brief cameo Saturday, Romain and Ryan on the left could have been quite potent.

Certainly a game to put a smile on your face - Virgil getting to use up all the hot water in the showers - Newcastle not capitalising Shrubsole (after all she’s done) bowing out of professional Women’s cricket winning The Hundred title at last for The Brave. Quite a good afternoon of Sport on the Tellybox

Anyone getting their arses in a cramp about it are seemingly in the minority - from my lofty perch of the cheap seats in the Itchen-Chapel corner, the majority of those in attendance were dancing about and clapping along. I guess with no VAR to kill the party everyone just let themselves go - who cares

ABK was going through the motions of being sent out to do a few stretches, his half arsed attitude stank so much you could smell it up in row CC. Interesting listening to Martin on the Solent driving home was quite refreshing calling the game as it was. With some folk on here moaning on it not being a great performance, hearing him say that it was the 3rd different team set up this season by QPR and we needed sorting out at half time - and also saying conceding the equaliser so quickly being diabolical.

Yes they do check - when you've gone through the turnstile you will see a steward standing there. Once through (and out of the way) turn around and look towards the top of the turnstile you just came through, and as folk come through from outside you will see 3 coloured lights blinking they have a sequence that indicates the age category of ticket that has just been scanned. So if you have a full adult ticket being used by a mate who has been swapped in no issue.

My boss is an 'Rs' fan of many years, and said that he was waiting for the invite to the game ...............then followed it up with "I don't think I could face seeing them battered 6-0 or worse!".

The said on commentary that you can't appeal a second Yellow Red Ref Coote has been well tutored by Mike Dean to be his successor

Some bloody big Wasps buzzing about at Selhurst Park!

Enjoying the services at Clacket Lane - Cobham - Fleet - Winchester - then just when he thought it was safe to get to Staplewood - “Oh No!” Rownhams!

The one Circus we don’t want in town - it would be a major negative distraction.

Probably why those 2 Chelsea sporting directors who popped up on the screen during the match both had faces like smacked arses - "how much did this lot pay for their number 7?"............."best stay out of Todds way for a couple of days!".

This game seems to have slipped under the radar, our old mate Charlie Austin featured. I wonder how many left at half time fearing a proper battering. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66482655

It is quite amusing to see Chelsea stumble after spending so much money yet again, even more so against a hardworking team like West Ham, and down to 10 men. As Merson said last season on SS, when we won up at Stamford Bridge “they look to be a team of very expensively assembled individuals” seems Poch has a lot of work on his hands breaking that scenario this season. The Caceido price tag will very likely put devils in his head.

Ha-ha typical!

@Fan The Flames just beat me to it - Dinosaur Redknapp was the submarine commander who torpedoed this plan by making an argument along the lines of “what can an egg chasing coach bring to to football”. Bizarrely when Cortese was at the helm he oversaw the implementation, and more, of all the - Mumbo Jumbo, dark magic that Sir Clive was basically being brought in for: and no one batted an eyelid.

Could have sworn there was a Saints crest flag hanging on the wall in front of the Seville fans at the UEFA Super Cup?!

I had to have another shower after getting into M&S Foodhall on Saturday morning when the doors opened - yellow stickers everywhere!
