Real shame seemed like a top bloke who knew his onions. Remember watching him on those celebrities v old pros games and he was the celebs manager and tried to cram as much into their heads as was possible in a short time. Sat in SMS watching games I spot so many of the little nuggets he passed on even now, so he obviously had a good way of getting things across. RIP

Ouch!! Clatts would have loved to have been here to see that, there is no way I can blow my whistle for that he would be giving me wedgies round ref school for months!!

Should have been Crock him for the 1st Yellow then get an early shower for wiping out that spawny git Sturridge. 2 games down the Saints and not had to see that stupid dance of his.

Bloody hell I wish people actually watch Yoshida and note for themselves what he actually does well and not run round the playground like bloody sheep picking on the kid who looks different, equaliser on Saturday Yoshida is minding his defensive side of the box so Norwich don't do a Virgil in the first half from the corner, Virgil had gone walk about in his side of the box not watching behind him or even worse to his right Yoshida had his men covered, but because he spotted Naismith in space un guarded by anyone, moves towards him......... And The numpties are falling over themselves to blame him and not the perfect VVD who had spotted a butterfly over on the other side of the box. ........... Just like the clowns who sing for Tadic to come on, then when he does, he does chuff all except wave to the now very happy souls who sang his song........ Who think he is bloody wonderful because he waved at them. ........ I knew backing off the sauce after Christmas was going to be a bad thing!!!!!! Grrrrrr!!!

What is up with Saints in cup draws shed Crystal bloody Palace get bloody Arsenal again and again .

Been on the grand tour of the stadium for the League Cup, Low in the Northam for Palace had a great view of Austins pen, sat low in the Chapel for the Sunderland game, if the net hadn't been there Boufals goal would have ended up in my mush before I would have had a chance to react...... feeling slightly uneasy for the semi as I have my usual seat!! If the stand is closed have an adventure and buy a seat now in another stand that you might fancy trying for a different view.

Looking at your location were you possibly his neighbour? He wasn't that great, Niemi was a pretty damn fine keeper when he came to us, his man of the match debut performance v Charlton, in particular the save he should never have got to from a blistering free kick from Janssen showed that, and he had only been with the club a few days. Paul Jones was always a good shot stopper first season with us voted fans player of the season after his first season based heavily on that ability, he had already showed us that ability when in goal for Stockport County in the league cup. With Jones second season oppos strikers had sussed him out, he was still stopping amazing shots but as he was not catching them the immediate second shot was invariably whistling past him. To cut a long story short, I ended up chatting with Coles, thanks to someone else setting me up to comment in his earshot, which got a reaction. He went for me verbally, nothing obscene just wanting to put me straight. Among other things, the chance came. I pointed out that Jones was stopping fine shots but they were all being parried out forwards, and attacking opposition had worked this out and were capitalising on it. Told him to watch the tapes, then look at Bartez for United who saved the shots but always parried them out to the left and right and away from danger. The next week Stone the Crows, Jonah is stopping the shots and they are going left and right. Not saying he wasn't any good, just as has been said already he had "good tools" to work with. He is at Bristol City now. One observation with Dave Watson this season (and mentioned elsewhere) he doesn't seem as active as he was under Koeman in handing out instruction from the technical area.

Just seen Dean give a poor decision, then realised that it's Spurs playing at home in the cup, bound to be a penalty second half.
-
Having seen the highlights nasty bobble on that back pass from Virgil just as its getting to Lewis.
-
As Grevsie always said "it's a funny old game Saint".......... You will only regret it if you don't go.

Wow this Preston v Arsenal game 27mins in is pretty damn good, Preston good for their 1-0 lead as they are running circles round Arsenal
-
Oh good another game
-
Oh for ****s sake

Always one.............. Amazed you never edited it

That boy does have a good head

Shame Lincoln aren't at home, I have always liked the sound of Lincoln City's ground. Doing well so far v Ipswich 1-1 apologies half time ramble there from me
-
Poor Eastleigh getting seriously tonked by the Bees, this could be the cricket score of the day 5-1 down half time
-
I was having a pleasant snooze........... Bloody selfish scoring before half time
-
Well there is only one way to find out......... And here it is. Goalkeeper is by far and away the worst position to be waiting to fill, if we want to progress we have to find out sometime. Always remember news filtering round The Dell years ago before we played Leeds that some unknown called John Lukic would be in goal for them, easy pickings was the general chat........... He Played a blinder we lost 2-1. Good of luck to him

So are we...........A Curry often does the trick

Worst refereeing decision 2016/17
John Boy Saint replied to Ivan Katalinic's 'tache's topic in The Lounge
This has to be right up there too!! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article-2914845/Worst-decision-Jan-Vertonghen-goal-disallowed-against-Sunderland-despite-receiving-ball-half.html -
Ahem.................er you just did!

Better stop faffing about with the ball and flouncing like a trainee Arsene Wenger when the ref doesn't buy his feeble fall to the floor, if he wants to be at a "top 5 EPL side". Play some blistering games for us Dusan stick yourself squarely in the spotlight and them big boys will be banging on our door and your wish will come true.
-
Thats a tad Harsh......... But true on the former. That said I did like it when they had that huge billboard on the outside of SMS with his mush on, Pompey lad in Red & White stuck on the outside of our Stadium 20' tall 10' wide........ How do you take that from both sides of the fence. At the end of the day if he got the armband I would be happy with that, because he is much better than some of the sheep on here make him out to be.

Redmond best young player in the PL...apparently
John Boy Saint replied to sydneysaint17's topic in The Saints
If that's the case its great to see Saints ahead of the curve where the future standard of premier league players are going. Merson must have fallen off the wagon surely!!
