John Boy Saint

I thought this design was the one that many fans would have liked to see reinvented in the various kit threads over the years. I like it. Wondering if the Goalies shirt is more Naval Dazzle camouflage than St Marys stained glass window "err where exactly is their keeper standing!?" Amazed that you can pop along to the store and buy it right now and not 5 minutes before the season kicks off, as has happened for about the last 10 seasons or more.

They’ll be the first to moan when the bars are closed tonight in town

I don't think him, his agent, or parents would give a shit about us mending him, whilst paying him, if another team waft the right deal under his nose in the next couple of months. There are no ethics left in football at this level.

Interesting game, bit of a summary of the season in 90 minutes with a twist in the tail - we didn’t lose!! What joy to see us score 4 good goals. I don’t care others think of him, I thought Lyanco was thoroughly entertaining, and given how aggressive he was at times says something that he finished the game without a card, and he got a great assist by doing what only he seems to do when we’ve been under the cosh in our box - launch the ball away upfield if only to buy a few seconds for the defence to reset. Although some folk don’t agree with shirt swapping nice to see young Sam Amo-Ameyaw talking Salah into parting with his shirt to go with his on his Mum & Dads living room wall.

And cut the wire to Stockley park

May as well drop a line to the Daily Mail while you’re at it, they will be all over it like a rash complete with an online petition 😜

All these tickets being sold on the exchange - the 70 minute walk out looks like it will be a damp squib with all the scousers in the house 😳😀

You just had to get silly! 🤪

No Icebergs this far south. Maybe Dragan is coming in a bit closer to keep his beady eye on the Snake Oil salesman RA and HK

A Bobby Firmino Hat-trick would be nice to send him on his way - I’m sure we can gift him that.

“Reuben - txt message on the match pad” - What does it say “Get Tino on and in the f**king shop window while he is still a premier league player”

The stuff of dreams

Thanks for that - quite easy to paint that picture in my mind 😁

Have I missed much - I was in the garden and just thought “oh Saints are playing”……….shows my detachment is sitting well.

I guess with budgets getting slashed, the spec will be cut back to black and white. 🤪

The supporter police are out! What does it matter to you - am I offending you? I never said I was going to cast Saints into a burning pit to be erased totally from my being - I answered the question asked in the thread title - and that is the burning desire to go down The Saints for every home game has just fizzled out so I won't be renewing.

Despite the inconvenience of them being in the Championship - it would also totally obliterate Levy’s proposal for WSL to be a closed league with no relegation or promotions.

8-0 was surreal The whole San Siro trip was magical Mane’s Hattrick was - what just happen! 4-0 Arsenal Boxing Day - Crap kick off time, then Martina lit up Christmas! That City game, our little group met up on the Chapel concourse - Bob pipes up “coming down in the car John and I have been talking and we reckon we are getting something tonight” the rest looked at us like we had just escaped the nut house. One of the best moments was Harrison Reed coming on and being all over Aguero like a very nasty rash and Aguero turning to the touch line arms out palms up face just saying “Who is he - and I don’t know what to do about him”

Not sure which thread it was on but there is an piece from the athletic alluding to things not looking rosy behind the scenes, pretty much backed up by JWPs comments on the weekend that standards have slipped and things not being right before the season kicked off.

Stuff that has come out these past few days you can understand why it went tits up last summer trying to get him.

Ah so it was Jenny and Elaine who started the happy clapping of the players after the final whistle to cheer them up, because of those nasty people in the Northam Kingsland corner boo'ed them rather loudly.

They didn't need to be very good. After about 20 minutes, sat in the stadium, you could see that Fulham realised that there was not much to fear and relaxed into a rather pleasant afternoon in the sun by the sea......................our lot didn't have enough about them to see the opposition were coasting through the motions.

That was quite weird at the end - I was talking to the regulars on the end of our row as the booing started in the Northam and rapidly got louder, at the same time the Fulham players in-front of their fans almost as one looked over in disbelief. The wife of the chap I was talking to uttered “there’s no need to boo them” - sorry did I just hear you right? 3 performances out of 18 that you’ve paid to witness, and that shocking performance this afternoon. As I went down the stairs I was obviously in the minority as I was suddenly in a fucking Sealion colony - happy effin clappers feeling sorry for the boys. Bloody worlds gone soft!

After 45 years of going down the Saints - I have no emotion anymore and I will not be renewing.

Pretty sure whilst he isn't pleased he is not playing - at 30 aside from his time in the Chinese Super League when the wages for overseas players were nuts AND tax free, he is probably quite happy feathering his nest a bit more for doing nothing. How many players have we had from little clubs who have been "backed up" by a YouTube show reel from CL league games against bigger fish, and turned out to be a bit Meh! - Poor old Mislav here shredding Spurs, and everyone's favourite Moi giving Citeh a torrid time - who upon his first contract uttered "my signing here has set me up for life". You just get the impression that behind closed doors at SMS in positions of influence the pencils aren't very sharp!
