John Boy Saint

To continue the interlude.......... While he is looking up, yes you are correct we will return to 3 places not 4, I think it will be the year after next if the 4 current stumble bums don't get out of the group stage........ The Macaronis have the closest points tally so if the Italian teams make further progress than the English that 4th place become very much under threat. What will be interesting is what will happen to the usual suspects who inhabit the top 4, their turnover is very reliant on the CL riches.

1 Decorate the concourses as they feel like you have stepped back in time to 1970's concrete drabness. 2 buy and develop the sand works include a super bar with rapid match day service, with good quick food upstairs. 3 Bring back a Women's football team 4 Get Bose or Sonos and acoustic experts in to improve the PA 5 Buy the full allocation of away tickets provide free travel any unsold tickets give them to schools and local football teams. And put a banning order in place on anyone with the temerity to criticise the club badge, and seek a court order to make them go and watch p*rtsm*uth for a season. In all the years of its existence I am yet to hear a derogatory comment about it from any other teams supporters, or anyone for that matter aside from a few precious souls on here. In these times of brand awareness and the need for off field income why would we want to change something that is instantly recognisable and established to step back beyond the 1970's to something that dilutes the brand awareness and income. Cortese for all his faults had a business mind, because he didn't like stripes he made the controversial effort to wean us off them, but aside from the 125 year tinker and the Silver and Gold versions, if he thought the branding was that bad he would have gone after that at the same time. Look at Leeds they have changed their badge countless times on a whim, and become a bobbins club in the process.

I finks that sums of yous is smokin funny faggs, what wiv finking ramirez will sitted on the bench. (was that a bit too much for correction?).

Sorry Whitey I was referring to the Crackerjack pass v Man Utd into Mané who volleyed it only to be blocked by De Gea for Pelle to tidy up. Saturday for Virgil again the ball was hit hard and exactly where they had practised hitting it to in training.

He hadn't hit the the back of the net for us until RK turned up as the boss, if memory serves me right?...................... slipped the shonky shooting into SD's locker in the process!

Strange I seem to recall a cracking pin point ball into the box did the trick last Sunday afternoon to open the scoring. JWP could score a hatrick in the next 2 games and still get slagged off................... on the flip side Jose is increasingly looking wobbly compared to last year and will do a Yoshida (from last week) pretty much every week yet no one says a word. The sooner some folks realise that smashing your 3 year old kid everytime on FIFA 16 has no relation to real life Football the better. Hope Clasie doesn't stutter when he eventually puts in an appearance......................... It will be like Christmas Eve in the Turkey shed on here if he does.

If the tales about his being out on the razzle dazzle are true, then someone in the academy, perhaps, LR and RK need to have a sensible chat with him as he is probably flirting with going off the rails. Young man played a few times in the first team and acquitted himself well yet doesn't seem to be able to grab a regular position. It must be pretty frustrating and a recipe for a "whats the point attitude". Be a shame to let a nipper like that, who has never looked phased or out of place in the 1st team games he has been tossed into, just fizzle out.

Think the steady cam cameraman needs the loo, he can't stand still. make you sea sick if he keeps it up:D

Fool!!! You just added another 3 pages to a thread full of folks with their knickers in a twist!!!

Cheers for posting that as i was curious, about the Visa procedure where none EU euro games were concerned had we stumbled that far. The thought of Scousers and finger prints was amusing.

What the chuff has a bit of silliness with a chocolate bar on someone's head got to do with sitting in the ****ing Chapel!????!!!!

If you could enjoy a beer in the stand while watching a game I wonder what the general reaction would have been to the building of a beer snake on here?

Blimey, I would have just gone down stairs there were plenty of empty seats, and no silliness going on. ................ Or did you know the Cone Trolls were going to be out closing all the main routes South and certain to bugger up your trip home

Went a family wedding in SA 2 years ago, obviously helped having family who have been there for 25years, after the wedding we went the Kruger for a few days most enjoyable. It's a pretty big country so plan your driving and stops, although Batman paints a dark picture, I would say its best to plan to make your stop in daylight.......... Also plan your arrival into Kruger as they shut the gates to the camps before dark.

Not something I would expect to write.......... But having witnessed some plum at Watford a few years ago who has had 3 cans of Top Deck Shandy, standing in a oooooh I am hard pose, whilst looking at the Fluffy Smiley faced Hornet mascot, with their arms outstretched fists clenched and middle fingers raised, that has to be a far worse association with the club.

Some bloke did take the Mars bar off his head and eat a big chunk of it, said Mars bar also took a trip down stairs and was duly thrown back up, a Snickers bar also took a trip round, what was curious to see was the game had turned into a bit of a training ground tap about, the clapping and singing for it spread like fungus across the upper tier. For those who are getting their knickers in a twist over it, no one died it was slightly amusing. Actually if you want to get uppity then your ire is better placed towards those Saints fans who go looking to pick a fight with other Saints fans inside the ground................ Smiling at someone with a chocolate bar on his head is far better that being aware of something none too pleasant brewing and likely to kick off.

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!!
