John Boy Saint

Yup, Cork over Surman.

I'll look forward to that!

Welcome to the Premiership and poor refs if you aren't one of the chosen few.

After the doom and gloom of Saturday............... something comes along to put a smile on your face. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?54905-Now-we-know#.VdHq3LJViko Both Chelsea and City looked a bit shabby yesterday so best to just Cheer up and move on.

Still amazes me that Kirk from Corrie actually made the regular trip down from Weatherfield for every home match before his Dad got all uppity about something.

At least you can see a likeness in that shot looking up at him.................... surely the original Ted one was loaded onto a boat down the docks and pushed over the side as they sailed over the Marianas Trench with a couple of 20ft containers full of concrete tied to it just to make doubly sure.

My tin lids both pink flavour, went to their first game aged 5 & 6 hooked ever since, 2 moments from each of them showed the passion for Saints the eldest at 9 stood on her seat in the family corner the night we played p*mpey in the league cup giving back the reply to the p*mpey chimes with the right (wrong for a well brought up 9 year old girl) words: half of me mortified the other half "good on you girl". The youngest the morning after we gloriously beat Man U at ours in the 88th minute, I hear her get out of bed into the bathroom after a couple of minutes all you hear is "who are ya, who are ya?". As as a supporter once submitted in the back of one of the Hagiology books on Saints: You don't choose to support the Saints, the Saints choose you.

For a bloke who only rocked up on Wednesday I thought he looked pretty good straight out of the box. From behind the Chapel goal you could see he was constantly weighing up the option on offer right across the field, thought he looked like he had been with the team for most of the summer, looking forward to when he has settled in.

Do that still have Junior Saints as my tin lids had that years ago, got them on the ticket presence list, in the draw to be a Mascot, and a heap of goodies to get them hooked.

What cobblers. He was on a yellow after being the only defender to put in a challenge on Lukaku who was rampaging down our RIGHT, the ref had already set his stall out with regard to clipping dirty Saints wings, anyone who was at the ground watching the game could see when he flashed his second yellow for very little, Saints players became visibly nervous to tackle Everton (Red card first half for him would have been a street party outside some posters houses on here). For their break away goal from our corner he was the only one back with 3 Everton players to choose from, everyone else was ambling back from a carp corner all of a sudden everyone realises too late that Targett is in trouble on his own, just like last week he was left exposed by team mates. And more than once he was left exposed. Frustrating game, first half we just seem a bit laissez faire and slow, when we did put our foot on the gas Everton struggled. Romeu straight out of the box looked good and looked like he had been with us longer than since Wednesday, always looking at the whole pitch and Saints players for a pass. Everton just had one of those days where the ball did everything they wanted it to do and we just weren't at the races across the whole field. Ref was shabby too 4 mins injury time with 5 subs 1 goal Cedric being taped up three of theirs getting lengthy treatment and ambling...............although if he added 30 minutes we weren't going to score. Still same points tally as last season at this point.

.......... and they discovered a box of teaspoons wrapped up inside it!

Think I might get down the bookies before the Newcastle game is published and put 50p each way on the draw you hinted at.

A plug for Sky every week on the BBC, the only media outlet in the world where the opportunity to advertise does not exist that would be right up their Strasse! Bruno will make the comment "Matt you are so lazy............ but technically gifted".

Wasn't the bloke who scored the Sevilla 4th goal Konoplyanka the nipper we had in our academy when we were last in the Prem but we just could not get a work permit for him despite all our efforts........... Had we been Man U it might have been a different kettle of fish.

Bloody hell Charlie got the pipes the wrong way round in the Top Deck Shandy factory!!!

Daughter back from Uni and she us the ace on watching Saints on streams.............. Not sure I can handle watching after years of listening on Solent: bloody exhausted watching that. Good to see we managed to eek out a draw whilst not looking our best.

We need a rocket up our Jacksy

How can some of you bell ends say Yoshida has been useless ................ The poor bugger has a sleepy Targett on one side of him and a poor Fonte on the other side of him leaving him to play with a mop and bucket in his hand............. Jeez!

Just a little aside from the Prem. Due to family I keep an eye on Bury (despite them smashing us in the FA cup final at beginning of the last century), my cousin was the numbers man in the fan ownership to save the Shakers a few years back. They had a what happened next moment in their away game back in League 1 at Donny Rovers it involved the equaliser for Bury being scored un opposed. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33838937

I have no issue with this............. Just about every Dutchman on Holiday had lots of positive to say about Ronald and punctuated it with: and then there is Erwin - the tactician.

Excuse my ignorance but have they done away with the goal line officials or is Europa not worthy enough?

Oooo that left a very nasty scar which the scab has been picked at a few times, Aston Villa at home sticks out!! Anyone who experienced that Watford game probably still never sits comfortably when Saints are 3/4 goals to the good with no return even in these recent good times................. Ok Manes 3 minute special pretty much the exception as that was shock and awe and Villa were gibbering wrecks. Vitesse like, Watford that night, have nothing to play for so will relax......... One goes in they become a different animal.

Marmite ​wish I knew how to post a photo of a jar rather than the word :-(

You would think with just over week to go they would be playing someone a bit more challenging (no disrespect intended) than York City, ok we played a pub team between Groningen and Feynoord and despite playing Vitesse we still have Espanyol to come who aren't too shabby an outfit.

Er maybe we film shome porn eh? (only works for fast show fans)
