John Boy Saint

Happy to see this tumble down the board later. Sat up in Old Basing watching the box could have sworn I just saw lightening South of me, anyone else see it?

Seeing as they are fellow finalists that was a pretty good workout in the heat, that is what the Costa Rica game is going to be like, stubborn dogged opposition (I actually forgot they were down to 10) still no one is hurt. Let the main event begin.

Bloody IT.V taters a nano second Rickies on the pitch and the salt us out being rubbed in the wound!!

See Yoshida and Mayuka were involved in a bit of cracking game for the casual observer with Japan beating Zambia 4-3

The Hondurans are having a good work out considering they are fellow finalists, although with their Rufty Tufty play all 23 in their squad should see some action in their group games.

Ray Winston in the adverts............. Wayne Rooney to be struck by lightening first 15/1.............. Ave a bang on that!!

My Grandad was too old to be called up but being in the Terriers (TA) the goal posts were moved not in his favour so he spent pretty much 5 years away during the war. He was on the second wave and made it all the way to Germany, and back again with stories to make his grandsons eyes wide like saucers when he told them. With regard to something Ohio mentioned about the Hollywooding of the War by the Septics they were doing it while it was going on! My Grandad said that they were in a Cinema in France watching a news reel from the Americans when a piece came up about a town that "bunch of GI's had miraculously taken against all odds", this snippet had the whole Cinema in uproar as most of the guys in the Cinema had fought a hard battle to liberate this town with mates lost, then handed it to the Americans for safe keeping without a German for miles, while the British forces moved forwards onto the next towns.

Big Sean let them have their fun, then reigned them back to chase the bigger picture.

That sounds like a young man content with the cards he has been dealt so far in his football career.

I know we have been searching for a song for him for ages as his name doesn't rhyme too well with much: but it fits into La Marseillaise ........ I bet some clever clogs could make it work some how. The French national anthem tune at SMS would be original too.

Wouldn't know if they phoned me in error tonight as we dropped the roof on Mrs JBS car and had dinner at a Pub out in the country.

That should be the club mission statement strap line in the corporate speak Ralph likes so much.

With Platini around I bet that is a formality as He is bound to have dirt on Blatter (and vice versa). More importantly congratulations Morgan.

At the end of every season most clubs send their players away with a set programme of what condition they expect them to return to pre season training in. In our case going on snippets that have come out about the finite details that we are supposed to apply to player condition through the season, now that Pochettino and his posse have left the building has the sports science department who monitor player condition gone with him, or is that a separate entity within SFC linked to Southampton University. You can imagine for some weak willed individuals with no Manager in place being tempted to slide off the rails a little. I know Adkins talked about players being given an MOT with the University support, it just seemed to become a bit more of a dark art under MP, or was that just the Media delving a little deeper into the key to our success last season and revealing the secrets.

I would have had the clause in my contract that says that at the end of the season whatever of the £50m I have not spent after the 2 windows I can keep, would see me trawling the bottom 2 leagues for hidden gems spending £10m max getting relegated and subsequently sacked without a care in the world.

Oooooo-errrrrrrrr.........................................although more at being quoted from 2011!!

Batman pointed out the Haunted House down the street should Oxo have to drop out. In questioning whether he could be replaced at this stage, he then told us what lived in that House ........................... Tom Cleverley!!!!............. Has it just gone cold in here??!!

You never know, he has been pretty feeble and wishy washy in his comments about his future until just the other day, maybe a gobshoite 6000 miles from home giving him some in the ear might populate his mind with demons. I know it was only a few minutes from the end but I couldnt believe how neutral I felt when AL came on last night.

Just have to look at his face and the expression is someone is going spot I am not a footballer soon!!

Stones much have watched Johnson the other night and thought WTF tonight with Milner so far he must be thinking WTFF!

ITV on Football is painful enough, but when Pineapple face Chiles doesn't help by not knowing where he is at the very beginning of the show. and how the chuff is Shaw to blame for the goal when the ball comes over from the England right?

Probably a relief to be away from the Basket Case that Birmingham is.

The strap line at the top says Ash Wednesday................ So a week before the World Cup and in warm up week all he can muster up is a piece about Saints that just about every Tom Richard and Harriet knew about, maybe aside from the blagging tickets to PSG. he must be laughing everytime he gets a payslip.

Cos he is got Rugrats in nit Bear!

Not if we keep making comments about his Mum he won't
