John Boy Saint

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)

Here on my Holibobs in Cataluña (yes Whitey Llafranc again) all my Dutch friends know about Saints to a frightening degree they are all waiting for us to sign Virgil They also say the KNVB dropped a bollock when they over looked Ronald and burnt their bridges with him in the process.

You nicked Bridge Too Far's punchline!!

Cool!!! ............. Have you got one really DT.?......have you?........... Can I have a go in it?

Well done England Ladies to beat the world number ones Germany for third place. Whilst not the standard we are use to in the premiership, or Play station, in the grand scheme of things they have done a damn good job flying the flag.

Lots of goals many mentioned above, Bobby 1976, Camara v Norwich, Beattie 88th minute v Manure. But the one that popped in my head just now was Papa Waigo equaliser last seconds v Norwich JPT, 4 of us, forty and fifty something's, seemed to have the Devil in us that night with no beer involved but the banter was flowing every quip was funny. I guess after having all watched crap for the previous few years and having seen into the abyss the previous summer, when that goal went in against a good Norwich it was like, oh yes The Saints are back!! We bounced around like we were 14 again......... Silly buggers!

Get the impression that Van Gaal has a different agenda where Ronald is concerned, probably resents the fact that Koeman is mentioned in the same sentence as Cruyff in Dutch football, bit like Hoddle and his issue with Matty being more gifted than him. The Villa story at Vale do Lobo does show the pettiness of the man.

I blame Jonathan Pearce, he delivered the curse of the commentators right on cue.

What ever fine he got for Newcastle and Jose it would have only been 2 weeks wages max as that is the maximum permissible. With players seemingly holding all the cards plus a few extras up their sleeves, you would hope in the time that has elapsed the club have been able to armour their backsides enough to pull the plug on this waste of space at the minimum of expense.

Cos they won't see the steel wall, a ride in the bubble, chance of naughtyness down the town, no Robo cop armour, or those nice Police Horses, but most of all having to figure out an angle to sing song towards them containing gratuitous amounts of spiteful abuse peppered with words your Dad would give you a clip round the ear for using in front of your Mum.

That would be nice for a change to have someone to build a steady base in that position. Funny you mention Lawrie Mac, I was sorting out the garage from a house move 4 years ago, and found his book Diary of a Season from the 78/79 season, our first back in the top flight, opened it up and like a fool started reading. Whoosh I was 14 again, but reading the stuff about chasing Colin Todd and Charlie George around, plus being hounded for the Leeds and Sunderland jobs was very interesting and probably pretty much as it is now without the added 24/7 input from Sky and the media.

Wouldn't worry about it

Well done Ladies......... That was well worth staying up for. Semi Final v Japan Wednesday night should be good. Japanese are not too shabby play the high press in a disciplined way.

Rodgers constant dipping into our club for players makes me think of the Johnny Cash song - One piece at a time. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rWHniL8MyMM So Jose will be next on the list. You would think if Man U came knocking that would be the go to place, but I can imagine the stories out of Liverpool regarding ease of sitting around are better than the stories about sitting around under Van Gaal.

It's the "England Way" ......... Players starting from the youngsters can see a clear and defined pathway through to the senior team. Nice to see they have picked up something from us and been original enough to put their own spin on it so as to look original

Team managed by an international defender and we defend like each player was press ganged as they stumbled out of a pub. Ronald - defender we defend MoPo - defender and we defended. Watched one of these under 21 game a while back and JWP must have come off the pitch with a crick in his neck as every time he went to get the ball off the keeper to build up the play............. Hoooof keeper launched yet another ball long over his head. Still James and Matty can now buzz off on their Holibobs.
