Saints v West Ham Build Up - Game now Saturday 6th Feb 1730
John Boy Saint replied to St Chalet's topic in The Saints
You lucky bastard!! -
Kelvin without any shadow of doubt, there was a queue outside every DIY outlet in the Leeds area the next morning as there wasn't a kitchen sink left in the LS postcode to throw at him at the final whistle. I only watched it on the box but even an hour after the game I was still exhausted just from watching it, dinner was late and a bottle red seem to evaporate on the kitchen side. Fraser tonight was without doubt right on the money and pushing Kelvin hard for the honours.

He got put off by the dog on the hording

Seems to have managed to get his head through the neck.........
-
Long tackles himself to set up a test for Fraser bizarre
-
Reading his recent CV, looks like he has the potential to be Gaston MK II. Which is hopefully why we have stayed away.

Your memories of the great Saints/ Southend love-in....
John Boy Saint replied to jawillwill's topic in The Saints
It was on of those strange afternoons where as the game went on even the most miserable of Saints fans realised that the Southend fans had come to party and everyone was invited. Confused the stewards too as at the final whistle and the pitch was invaded Saints fans wanted to get into the Southend fans section or get them on the pitch too, not to punch their lights out but to have a very pleasant afternoon. The Walsall game that saw us out of League 1 was similarly strange, last game of the season again we were cruising 3-1 and the stadium announcer pipes up to give the Dagenham & Redbridge current score line that was going to keep Walsall up. Which produced a chorus of "you are staying up" from Saints fans. I always remember at the final whistle, the Saints dugout heading down the tunnel sharpish, the Walsall players collapsing on the pitch in relief and their bench running on like they had just won the FA Cup, only to be engulfed by huge wave of jubilant Saints fans. -

Err that's strange, the folks who sit next to my wife "sold" their season tickets back to the club before the Leicester game they couldn't attend sold out. -

All this gnashing of teeth over not getting your money back on a season ticket, you should be able to sell it back to the club, which was one of the benefits with this years season ticket. -

You have to admit that you couldn't give a toss as you walked out of the stadium 6" off the ground at the final whistle. I will still miss it but Mrs JBS and her +1 is far happier with a Saturday evening rather than 8pm on Monday as she has to be up for work at 5am on Tuesday. -
Being a fat lad I thought UA would not be for me, but I recently ended up with a couple of their Golf shirts due to Nike and Adidas annually dicking around with their sizing, very nice quality.

Strange that no one has noticed Turkish has played a blinder here, he has metaphorically opened the forum door, pulled a pin out of a grenade, tossed it in, closed the door and walked away. 3 pages later it's still at the top of the main board as folks sift through the debris.
-
What a smashing memory. Alas my life started 2 years after his career with Saints ended. But it's always sad to hear of players woven into the rich tapestry of our great club passing away.

BBC commentary team must be stocked up on cream to rub on their necks to sooth the soreness caused by the sphincter muscle through having their heads so far up Man Utd's backside with their comments.

The Mighty Hillmen!! I was amazed to see them there, but then the old money in Arsenal originated in the Cotton Mills of Glossop, then they (Hill-Wood?) grabbed their stash and headed for the big smoke. Hood down - Anorak off
-
That's a shame, why couldn't they make it Johnathan Moss again just to wind up the Arsenal fans, who started a petition to get him banned from their games after the Boxing Day mauling.

My boss is a QPR ST holder, he said it was amazing that he is suddenly fit, he also said he is glad that he has gone to a good home.

Man Utd 0-1 Saints: Post Match Celebrations
John Boy Saint replied to SO16_Saint's topic in The Saints
What happens if between now and the end of the season and no-one actually gets to test us properly, because the confidence in this new system gains a bit of traction with the players and we shut teams down. Does this point get carried over to next season. It will likely evolve into something more dangerous as the players become more comfortable with it working, if we can shut teams down on Auto pilot, that allows more time to think about opening them up. But If you want to see Barcelona and Real portrayed performances, then you are either watching the wrong league or too use to playing FIFA whatever year applies. -
Man Utd 0-1 Saints: Post Match Celebrations
John Boy Saint replied to SO16_Saint's topic in The Saints
If anyone can recall Rickie Lamberts shirt ripped from the V neck to half way down his chest from where Vidic was stuck to him like a magnet, the night we battered United and Fergie was very complimentary, then we should all know that shirt pulling in the box at OT is a perfectly acceptable part of the game, as long as the puller has a Red shirt on. I wish I could find the piece about a team, might be in South America, who's main strikers shirt was made out of that woven paper those cheap disposable boiler suits are made of, simply because every time they played against a certain opposition one of the defenders habitually got away with blatant shirt pulling without sanction. During the first half the strikers shirt was reduced to tatters and the ref actually booked him for not being suitably attired. Half time the manager went and had a word with the ref for being so stupid, second half striker, wearing a new paper shirt, in the box goes for the ball and the back of his shirt departs the rest of it, and the defender is caught standing there with the shirt in his hand, penalty given against him, stupidly he did it yet again and was red carded. At least yesterday when Jose had his shirt pulled as JWP whipped in the free kick, it stopped him getting up to the ball ahead of Charlie! -
Ah! You just can't beat applemakeyoulookatit autocorrect to kick you in the shins

I think I spotted a few coats under SALE banners, when I peered through the glass as we passed the Stadium Megastore on Saturday Evening. So might be a bargain to be had.

Another player who quietly went about his business in midfield, rarely in the spotlight, but as WGS even pointed out he set the tempo for the team. True enough, when he was out injured we just seemed to lack that little something to make the difference.
-
I thought I read it as not being the whole lot, just a hey lets be sensible here. Sort of we will pay you X, end your contract, give you your registration, you're a free agent clear to make what you can signing on with some other sucke...... uh football club. all strings cut. ............... Oh and Don't let the door bang on your @R$e on the way out

And if VW gets a cheap booking get Romeu on sharpish to replace him cos Rooney or that hairy lout will make sure he gets another. Mike Jones looks like a ref who will buckle under pressure from the players and we don't apply any on the refs. That said the Ref's and Lino's normally travel as a set package, after the howler the Lino made for the dodgy equaliser, our defence should be drilled in the Arsenal of Adams and Keown or Bould uniform arm in the air asking the question and sowing the seed of doubt in lino's mind.
