John Boy Saint

Flippin heck!!!!!!!!!! Amazed that you weren't arrested for having your pants pulled down in the square!!!! What at were you drinking? beer brewed by blind Monks of a silent order, where the filtration process includes letting the beer flow over the nubile naked bodies of Virgins personally selected by St Peter and God himself!!!!

Psion

Still baffling how we lost that. Great stadium, shame the locals had little interest. Think young Pierre needs a bit more regular game time, as it just wasn't working as he wished, Tadic a pain in the backside with his powder puff passing, then mass waving of hands at everyone else on the pitch when everyone else is defending the attack from his short changed pass (yes he is very good and equally he can be very bad). Just one of those games overall, that said ref was a total homer Trash a Saints player nothing, breathe on an inter player from 10 feet: foul!??! World championship time wasting masterclass from Inter........... If they could still get away with it they would have had the hordes of photographers just behind the goal line with no film in their cameras but an endless supply of flash bulbs. Was it just our positioning high up in the stand or did that pitch look a bit bigger than most. Despite the result a very memorable trip, 7000 Saints fans was impressive, for someone who's first live game as a nipper was v Notts County in 1978 to stand in that stadium watching my team was great........... Bit different to Walsall at the Bescot on a Wednesday night. We flew into Geneva and drove to Milan through the Alps via the Mont Blanc Tunnel, the scenery was stunning (coming home the other way via the Simplon Pass similar) as we drove down the mountains me and my mate, having been here and there following Saints, just said to each other the drive to an away game at home is going to be bloody dull after this feast for our eyes.

Mate text me while the game was on "you lot are a third of the gate"!! "Impressive and shameful from the Italians at the same time"

Just a heads up for the hordes possibly heading up the M3 en-route to Gatwick in the morning. Don't forget the road works are still plodding on along the M3 towards London, warning signs are saying that the road is likely to be closed overnight from Junc 4 Farborough to the M25 until 5am in the morning. I will put this on the other relevant threads in case this one is not read.............. So apologies if you are reading this for the umpteenth time.

Should have told him to stop shaving a week ago!!

I think everywhere is the answer............ I don't fancy having to queue behind 7000 other Saints fans for my secondi Peroni when we all descend on just one bar!!

Think there is a bit of BS being spun, we got one of the tickets for our foursome on anothers season ticket, entered the person who is actually goings details on the application, it turned up with the ST owners name on. I thought that's going to be a bugger having read the email sent out last week, so played a straight bat at the ticket office on Sunday and the response from behind the glass was basically "tough whatsit" it said that tickets would only be issued to the name on the account "it says it on the website". My mate went along with this wrong ticket and his son who it was for, and the lad behind the glass he saw couldn't be more helpful, changed everything without any hassle (yet)........... so no trying not to look guilty on Thursday. So that leads me to believe that there is no secret code in the numbers on the tickets otherwise the name on the ticket would mean diddly squat, and we would have been told "not to worry as the details entered when the ticket was bought are embedded within it".

For a match day experience paint the concourse walls, it is so depressing down there. Maybe Virgin should shelve the £10 away fans discount and use the money to cheer up the home fans buying the paint.

€90 euros fixed price for a taxi from Malpensa to Milan Central (£81!!!) according to this, catch the bus seems to take just as long as a taxi and possibly more than half the price even if there are 4 of you splitting the fare. http://www.chamonix.net/english/travel/italy/airport-milan-centre

Wow nearly 30 minutes of bloody drivel on a dull game, standby for 2 minutes of Saints

Zzzzzzzzzzzz did I miss anything? Looking forward to seeing the editing suite guys and gals polish that turd into a glittering spectacle in the 40 minutes they have to do it in: standby for 10 minutes of inane waffle and cobblers.

Best bit was her announcing Vokes had scored......... there was a distinct tone of disapproval.

As an aside - Its been mentioned elsewhere that Clasie put in his most visible showing of the season so far yesterday (probably in his whole time with us). With Claude being prepared to play the nippers more freely than RK, Harry Reeds enjoyment working with Puel has probably seen him start pushing Clasie in training thus upping his game, especially as his "mate" is no longer in charge to pick him by default. If that the case its great for the club to have academy lads pushing the Senior players again

As always the sound quality is spot on.......................................... in the gents under the Chapel!!!!

Very true: At the final whistle yesterday after an enjoyable game, as the PA was announcing "Saints are next in action............" I turned to my mate and said ".....in Italy!!" "righto back home pack our bags", and he said "see you at Gatwick on Thursday morning": the pair of us grinning like fools. Not ashamed to say 52 years of age and excited!

We are flying into Geneva from Gatport Airwick for 9:10 pick up the hire car, meander down to Milan through the Mont Blanc tunnel, arrive Milan for lunch dump the gear, have a mooch about. Game probably more drinking, pour ourselves into bed. Leisurely breakfast amble back over the Alps lunch along the way for our flight back to Blighty at 19:10

Benteke what a fantastic miss from the spot, called from my sofa the moment he picked up the ball

Save a copy for me outside the Saints Siro, I will be wearing a red carnation with a rolled up copy of The Times under my arm.

Everyone vote for a winter break and **** the TV right up..........**** us around last Christmas, **** us right off this Christmas......... The FA should sack themselves for taking such a big bung off the TV companies and not respecting the game or the fans: Sam Alladyce is a bloody Saint compared to his past employers!! ...................... and breathe!!!!!!

Well that's all my Accor hotel points used up 4 nights in Prague, just Budapest left to tick off the list of old European cities. And just catch the Christmas market that starts on the Saturday after the game.

while you are waiting here's one to keep you going: Who was the goal keeper who received up a runners up medal after a match where he didn't concede a goal?
