John Boy Saint

As Israel tickets are still up for grabs I thought I would look at the flight options to get out there, blimey I could fly to see relatives in South Africa Premium for the prices coming back at me!!

White ticket shaped envelope on doormat this morning thought, whats this? Cheeky buggers sent the Inter Tickets already and only 1st class!!! pocketing the £6.35 postage difference.......... opened it to find West Ham tickets inside.......... forgot about them!!

And we had an effin dinosaur as a manager!

When you see some of the nippers who have looked capable yet never making it at Saints, you wonder if his career would have actually made it to 32 had it not been for a sprinkling of Nepotism to nudge him along. I know he was a free transfer, and we only had buttons in our pockets, but how ,or why,did we manage to sign such an inert player. ............... then I suppose if we got sold the Emporers new clothes with Tommy Forecast, I might have answered my own question!!!

Cech tipped it onto the bar it was going to sneak in if he hadn't reached it.

Well that was jolly japes on MOTD! If the officials had the minerals to give the foul on Long Monreal would have been off, by the letter of the law.

He was a pollock for retaliating, if he hadn't sent him off Madley wouldn't be a ref in the premier today

How much do you want to bet Betrand gets nailed retrospectively for "kicking" Kolscelny in the head.

****ing Arsenal player was offside dead in the box,

Christ it's like listening to a commercial radio station reading this thread.............. Same record played 3 times in every hour. Do you think the garden room chaps advertising at the top of the page will deliver here..... Need a man cave!

Before it came Into play more than one observer said it basic kicked the ladder away for any team wanting to break into the top team niche. so old news

Didn't realise the clocks had gone back already

300+ Notes to see inter v Juve............ we are a category X match

Yup and a Brighton player was so incandescent at such a shocking decision he stopped just short of doing a Prutton, but still got himself sent off. We use to sit that side of the Chapel pretty much in line with the edge of the box, when Walton pointed to the spot the rest of the ground erupted us sat with the perfect view just laughed in stunned disbelief. Still wonky refs have been around for years, the ref who did the cup winners cup game v Anderlect, was rumbled after he retired, a game involving Forest was his undoing. Still the one refs action that still has me simmering was Mike (old mother) Riley sending off Franny at the Dell v Derby, Franny had trashed Sturridge I think it was, he was on a yellow already (believe it or not) so the inevitable was coming. Instead of doing Franny at the point of impact where the Derby player was still in a heap, he beckoned Franny towards him and kept walking backwards towards the Derby fans under the East stand, when he was close enough to them out popped the Red card for total effect.

Didn't he get into hot water about similar a few years back in a newspaper article or book.

Probably about £97.50!!

Go on I'll do it......

I thought Pickford looked pretty good last weekend, but I guess he has had a call from Mr Moyes to fall over and feel a bit queezy as Sunderland have injury issues with Mannone.

As long as it isnt some "nobody" that the club build up to be a diamond hidden in the rough. with the media department going into verbose overdrive over. That Torpedo always springs to mind!

Just as an aside, we bought our Europa Bundle on Saturday before the game, there was a chap at one of the windows completing his sale when the lad behind the glass says " I will have to get more tickets". The chap at the window turns around to his mate behind him and says " I bet I will now get a big wedge of tickets" as he turned back around the lad behind the glass returned with a huge pile of tickets about 18"s high. The chap making the purchase just looked on wide eyed with a look of you are not serious, us in the queue also looked on in amazement too........ then the lad said I have to reload the machine. You could hear the phew!

Good to see the reports that Glass Jack won't be coming to us to get in the way, (maybe if were managed by Woy there would have been a chance). Anyway lucky for him as having watched a few of those player funnies saints put up, there would have been a good chance that Romeu would have snapped him in the first 10 minutes of training.

Surprised no one has mentioned the Europa cup cut in the grass on the pitch.

Strange that under Pochettino and Koeman we were just the same final third: slow down - fanny around. As a mate who no longer goes once said walking home post match "it's all a bit after you Claude in front of goal" (bit spooky). Drives Mrs JBS (who I have to admit knows her onions when it comes to football and is far less emotional than me) up the wall. As for all these Targett knockers lay off him, he's stood out on the wing in acres of space doing the Times crossword whilst twirling his thumbs, when he gets the ball it's behind him so he has to check his run, or its behind him and poor and he has been hung out to dry, as for that free kick it wasn't a million miles away from the top corner, if anyone there paying attention noticed Virgil had a word in his ear when they were having a meeting round the ball, wouldn't be surprised if he told him to have a crack. Talking of Virgil, post match on Solent he was pretty blunt in saying the players need to get with the system.

Bloomin hair splitter!! .............. To be fair the first one was lumped on him at shortish notice.

Lallana summed up in his detachment from reality on the Roy Hodgson resignation...... ................He friggin resigned, knowing he had dished up rubbish football at 2 tournaments, with millions sat in in his bank account you dimwit!! When you play Middlesborough Adam, if you spot an empty seat in the stand, that could have belonged to a Steel worker from Redcar who has lost his job and can't afford to go to football, now that IS terrible.
