John Boy Saint

Centric was a bit lightweight tonight so don't hold your breath.

Lovren will be ok he was feeling faint at the prospect of another penalty like the one in Europe last season.

That was a pleasant evening, £12 ticket, nice stadium, choice of civilised eateries just outside, J-Rod back of the net in 3 ish minutes game over basically. Saints looked tidy and despite the ease of win stayed professional to the end........... Unlike the Saints fans playing He's got a Mars bar on his head, she's got a Snickers on her head. Back to the game, those who take joy in slagging Targett and Yoshida at full back should take the chance when it arises to watch Cedric, if there is a strong breeze the club must tie him down to the ground, I was amazed at how powder puff he was quite a surprise that MK didn't chuck everything down his side I can't recall him offering any resistance defensively Matty looked an old hand by comparison. Mané looked like he was having fun with the Dons players teasing them like you would a kitten with a bit of wool. The only pain in the bottom was driving home with the Cone Trolls out playing especially on the A34 at Didcot.

I think the truth is that we are a very good side with a bit of a head of steam, which made Reading look not very good, especially after Hunter had words at half time.

I think despite him being exciting up and down the wing with an eye for a solid cross, in the first game against Newcastle he was battered in his defensive duties to the point of getting a very early booking for a panic tackle, and nearly a quick second, then taken off before he could use up all the hot water with an early shower. So I would guess he is considered a potential liability in certain games against certain players at right back. Yes Yoshida dropped a clanger yesterday but you cant see him getting panicked into getting a booking like Cedric has already shown.

Actually having gotten rid of the silly pointless flicks to no one or the opposition (although he didn't disappoint with one of those stinkers late on), the moaning whilst ambling out of the box does need sorting out, there was one moment when a big gap opened up in the middle as we were chasing the game, the ball was pinged up to him but because he had taken a look at the ducks and the blue sky in the oppo's box, he couldn't touch the ball as he was offside................. I have noticed this in previous games too, where the amble from the box with "Mama Mia" hands everywhere see's a quick ball back in his direction that he has to leave. That was more an observation rather than a slagging as I thought he had a very good game yesterday. On a separate issue how anyone can say that the big teams don't get the rub of the green off the ref just had to watch the Clattenburg-Schneiderlin show yesterday, if Morgan had been in red and white stripes he would have been carded on the first robust challenge, Clattenburg spoke to him 4 times after roughhouse challenges and not one card quite amazing.

Bit of a shame after the sparkling start. Shame Yoshida had a Fonte'esk brain fart. There was a big chunk of the Second half where it looked like we were a team of strangers and the players were each standing in a separate postcode. Considering the on paper cost of the teams, when we weren't playing silly buggers, they didn't look that special. Rooney looks like the candle is growing dim. Just hope this is the kick up the bottom the team need as the next 2 league games are against teams who play decent Footie.

Thought the same too. That's why I was surprised to see JWP pulled off, as he was closing players down putting himself about a bit by comparison.

you asked the question........ I gave you the answer........no one told you, you had to actually look......... Sorry for breathing!!

That Ritchie goal for the Cherries what an absolute gem.

If you look at the referee appointments they pretty much bill it like that.

What Joy Battenburg on the Whistle for the game, and Brenda chum the 4th official. 13 men for United then.

Blimey Charlie! I never had Richard Keys, WGS, King Kenny, and Lee Sharpe down has Twocers!!! I will give then a wide berth on the North Course and keep my beady eye on them in the Car Park!!

Blimey Goat that is sublime and bold with Gallions Reach!! East India is the best I can do

With 3 days elapsed since posting and no replies. All I can offer is, it's near the sea, the Airport is nice, and if you drive the hire car like you stole it you can get to La Manga resort in an hour.

Seems a bit of a pea-souper has appeared Colin me old mucker, you offered Knightsbrige to the Johnny with the Gun, South Ken was offered in to the arena after the Goatchappie posted a relative up on a roof!!????!! Seems like LBA has the last entry still....... and there is no bally chance of getting from there to MC in one go.

Needs Clarification.............. South Ken was more of a question in response to Goatboy playing with a diverse agenda of random photographic clues.

Just to qualify TK8267 at little, we had Zenith round just to give us a price idea for a new front door. As he was doing his stuff we added in an insulated motorised roller garage door and a new fangled finish small flat roof it came to £10k, with all his jiggery pokery it came down to about £8k, then £6k. 6 weeks later we got a letter saying about some co-operative scheme which shuffled it down to (a very tempting) just over £4k. They wouldn't do that work for that price and make nothing along the way.

Well this is the 21st Century, I guess we have to open our minds young scallywags like Goatchap, modernising the game: even if his clues are a bit 3-2-1 with Dusty Bin and Ted Rodgers........... Well seeing as he is new to this I am assuming he his taking baby steps, so I can only think of the Rooftop Garden at the Tara Hotel where I had a soirée with Hashimotos (ahem)elder sister........ South Kensington ?????

Not so fast! There's you getting all September rules and forgetting the 1964 Bayswater Alliance ruling subsection Q, paragraph 12, note iii, where in the month of September a move to the Northern line Saff of the River from the Bakerloo Line is forbidden, in the extraordinary meeting of 24th December 1979 when Dollis Hill became part of the Jubilee Line it was decreed the original ruling would stand to avoid confusion having already changed lines once before in 1939. Better have another go Old Chap

Cheers Napalm! between the summer and autumn equinox I make that Dollis Hill!!

Ssorry chaps just passed this open door and couldn't believe none of you had used the 1937 Savoy Grill addendum....... Temple Toodle pip!

A good defender is definitely in there, he just has the look of a battle weary defender who has spent the last 2 seasons in defences that have been under the cosh, so clears the ball in the vain hope that one of his team mates will get hold of the ball and keep it long enough for him to catch his breath. That said looks a menace in the oppos box when he goes up there.

Think it's been referred to as the Titanic effect........... Should never have left Southampton.

5 games in and the only goals Newcastle have scored have all been against us. Alan Pardew must have looked at the table last night and had a quiet smile to himself.
