John Boy Saint

If you have an iPad with films on (I know following your comments I could have stepped into the twilight zone) you should also get a better viewing experience with the sound blue toothed through it................. And as for Saints You Tube channel listen to Ronald's very first interview, Wow! It sounds even more like it was recorded in the public toilet than it did through little device speakers!!

Surprised no one at Spurs accused us and and our Manager at the time, Harold Redknapp, for tapping up his Son to come to us over the Christmas Turkey at Redknapp Towers all them years back!!

For a player with the Footballing Holy Grail tag of having played Champions League, when he was given a bash between the sticks for England I felt that he was as much a Rabbit in the headlights as Gazza has often been for us. Been away for a few week so not fully up to speed on ALL the goings on, what happened with our rumoured interest in Marshall as considering the rubbish being played in front of him he came out of Cardiff's relegation smelling not too bad.

We had the usual very nice ones next door great fun round theirs watching the Footie on Dutch TV, when they are together on mass they are very confident to the point of being worse than boozed up Brits on tour........... Best example Whitey is down Can Padre Chicken and Chips in Pals. French were indeed very nice this year.

Blimey the Woolston Ferry song has been on the agenda for chuffin years, its taken longer to catch on than if you did go to town via Bitterne via China hopping on one foot!! Its a shame that despite the razor sharp wit of football fans a song like this seems just too difficult to learn. Shame really as it would be nice to have our own Bladon Races type song and this fits the bill nicely.

I would say that Koeman getting Dejan somewhere on the bus is a positive. What makes me smile is Samuel said Rooney grew up on the streets playing football and that he was made for the game against the Macaronis......... Just shows the guy knows the square root of zip in reality!

Awwwwww it stopped and left me hanging!! I can relate to the story so far, when I was 4 1/2 we moved from Southampton to Silchester in North Hampshire it felt like miles away from civilisation Leeds Utd were in their pomp when Football appeared in my life, everything stopped in our house for the FA Cup final but my Mum and Dad were not Football fanatics. All the kids at school were Leeds fans, like with you it was the sheep effect at Primary school, I even got a Leeds kit complete with number 4 on the back one Christmas, all of a sudden all my school mates were following Derby and QPR as they hit an upwards curve. The confusion was tangible. Not sure exactly when the turning point was but probably the 7 goal smashing by Leeds triggered the thought of hang on the City of my birth has a team, the cup run cemented my following and the win put a big exclaimation mark on it especially as I was staying with my Grandparents in Southampton in the week of the run up to the final. My first game was in similar circumstances at secondary school when I uncovered a little cell of Saints fans all older than me who said why don't you come with us on the shopping bus to Southampton and watch a game it's only 50p! That was it Notts County 3-1 my hero from the Echos my Gran saved for me Phil Boyer scored a brace........... Never looked back since. Keep going Mush!!

The Titanic effect of leaving Saints without the blessing of the Saints fans (someone once wrote in a Hagiology book you don't choose to support Saints the Saints choose you) is looming on the horizon.

Neighbour on Holibobs is a Twente fan and very disappointed to see him go, but gives his congratulations to Saints for such a great signing.

On me Holibobs so not fully in touch. If Lovren has gone on strike I hope that we ain't paying him, and if that tosspot Gordon Taylor the PFA union boss pokes his five eggs in we tell home to F off!! i shall return to staring into the bottom of an emptying glass.

Quiet amusing. When the Septics had the World Cup in 1994 housewives were polled on their thoughts of Soccer, the overriding comment was when their husbands said they were going to the bar on the way home from work to watch the game with friends they knew pretty much when their beloved would be walking through the door for dinner, unlike American Football games where their other halves might rock up at home 4-6 hours after kick off!

Can't be a Cortese abortion because the man hated stripes, I have been told b someone ITK that there are no stripes as the die had been cast before the Cuban heeled one left the building.

Makes me laugh him and his posse spent loads of time at SMS watching flowing football played by ordinary players yet he still sets up England to play like West Ham hoof and run. Don't really care if he turns up as he is just a Dinosaur playing Stone-Age football........... Of course! That's why he can't drop Rooney!!

Mexican one would also fit the bill nicely too!

Er no thanks the bloke is an obnoxious bell end, add to this a fat lad had to point out what Jonah should be doing with incoming shots during his second season after every striker in the league had sussed out his key weakness!

Screw Morgans feet to the ground, let Koeman sprinkle some of the magic he is reputed to have sprinkled on some of the Feyenoord players and we will be sitting on a Pirlo.

I just thought he looked so smooth in the role he was given and disciplined with it, moving left and right to squeeze the play. Pleased for him

No Domestic ban and his stock will be high as he wont be buggering off on international duty: the perfect international quality player to have on your books.

Is anyone else finding that the Auto Correct on Apple devices is actually becoming a pain in the backside? I will always re-read emails before sending but the odd bizarre one sneaks through to mate you look a right tit! The worst one is this becoming Thus................... How often is thus used in everyday English? The buggers know I am typing about them because it has all very well behaved all through this ............... Hmmmmmmm!

Something missing from the conversation is that until Osvaldo stuck one on Fonte, Rickie was halfway up the M3 to West Ham, quite possibly a move that he didn't really want to make. So I know if I knew that I was already in the surplus to requirements file and an opportunity like that offered to Rickie came up, the decision would not be the hardest to make.

ITV have just posted on the right Smalling next to Jones, covered by Milner and Super Frank.......... Shaw is going to be bored to tears as Costa Rica pile down our right.

Why have the Sun used a picture of a looky likey?

Can't argue with that certainly looks a bit of a handful, I bet Fenerbahce would be reluctant to lose him.

I'm with the Big Yin

I blame Greg Dyke he said we would win nowt before 2022 and the. In the draw running his finger across his throat so that gave the players a lazy easy out.
