John Boy Saint

Exactly.

That was well worth waiting all week for.................... Very funny. Thank you.

We will cruise into a 2 goal lead then chuck it in the bin!

Ah the silliness is ramping up, under the supposed FFP rules, that seem to have been on the agenda for years, English homegrown players are fetching a mind boggling premium ticket price. http://www.givemesport.com/439769-chelsea-ahead-of-man-united-as-favourites-to-sign-50m-midfielder Crazy stuff especially as with a price tag like that the agent is going to screw down a good wage for his player north of £100k per week.

Questionable 15 confident 14

I am hoping they will be like Green Shield stamps where you could save up for a Ford MKIII Cortina, except in the case of our points a nice Sunseeker boat.

That truly does show how thick the ticket office are in assuming that we the supporters are thick enough to still be swayed by such a pig in poke pointless scheme.

I am missing Kenny Dalglish from the 1974 World Cup Esso Razor blade edged full colour disc collection if anyone can help.

Didn't they play at Centre back in Mike Bassett's England squad, with Lambert and Butler out on the wings.

Now we are dancing to the tune of the top 4 and Sky/BT, sod the Toffees fans and sod the Saints fans but I guess when you are piling in obscene amounts of cash Football Clubs will dance to whatever tune is playing and as fans we are a pretty stubborn bunch due to our addiction to the game so we are the easy inconvenience.

Just about to say going to Beijing in July, with our players being treated like thoroughbred race horses these days that would be crackers as the pollution is as bad as the Western Devils report it on the news, and the heat at that time of year is pretty intense too, not the best conditions no matter how much money is on the table, even the Chinese would be doubting the sanity. Still the best April Fool was the Blue shirt to honour p*mpeys return to the Premiership both on the OS and in the Echo, that had many Saints fans on the verge of spontaneous combustion the give away was the Kit manufacturer Flair Polo.

Pre season I was sitting in front of Jos Maya & Mayuka at the first friendly and what surprised me was on a couple of occasions Mayuka was asking Jos what formation we were playing when the players had a shuffle about on the pitch. I guess if you struggle to follow formation it does put you at a slight disadvantage when playing to Pochettino's style.

Sorry but Wellbeck has flaws, in the last couple of years he should have been top of the scoring sheets at Utd given the style they played under Fergie and "stepping down" to us I think he will become a bit BWP (no not a robbing little scrote) believing that he is better than he actually is.

Blimey this got binned from the Sticky box quickly this week, the misery of the Spuds one sat staring us in the face until Thursday at least last week!!............................. do we have a Mod partial to a bit of fish on here smarting at our excellent performance and result on Saturday !!??!!!

Looking at how Newcastle were seated from the other end of the ground it looked like they just sold tickets at random as there were funny holes of seats here and there.

Until the age of 5 I lived in Bitterne, then in 1969 because most of my Dads work was in London and out into Essex we moved up to Silchester north of Basingstoke as the M3 was still just a draughtsmans drawing back then and the M4 was creeping its way out of London and junction 11 at Reading was next on the agenda and only 8 miles away. We always came back to Southampton on a regular basis because my Mums parents lived in Shirley, as we got older both my Sister and I loved coming to stay with Granny and Grandad I guess living in a Village that saw a bus possibly 4 times a day if that, making the nearest town quite a rare event being in the city with a bus into the centre every 15 minutes and all the hustle and bustle was quite a novelty. Weirdly enough I have always felt very comfortable in Southampton stranger still especially when most of my growing up was by comparison in those days a remote village, when it got dark it was dark, no street lights. I now live just outside Basingstoke, still in a village but the extending fingers of the town have a finger hold on it. For all the years coming to Southampton for the football I have often felt that I could easily live in Southampton, not sure where, Bassett always looked pleasant enough away from the hum of the Winchester road. But then our route to SMS takes us down Thomas Lewis way and up through Bitterne Triangle and round over the Northam Bridge, I always look over to the houses at Bitterne Triangle that back onto the river heading towards Swaythling then the houses in Peartree that overlook the water and city from up on the hill, I just think as I get old and boring sitting up there with a good pair of binoculars could see many an hour whittled away.

Said it a million times, Lawrie Mac always said a good football team is made up of Violinists and Roadsweepers................. without doubt Steven Davis wears the Roadsweeper hat very well in that analogy, not a glamour player but works his socks off to allow the Violinists like Lallana to weave their magic and enthral us. Cracking value at £750k too

I think Hodgson is trying to use Saints as a Blueprint to adjust the way England play from the hoof up the field from the goalie to better control, he has watched us no end of times recently v Norwich and Spurs, then on Saturday Ray Lewington was at the game they cant be there just convince themselves that our 4 Lions are the boys for the job.

"in excess of £30m" That's pretty much what what SMS cost.

Somehow I doubt that. I am sure there have been punch ups and very heated spats on the training pitch before, this one seemed to have a pretty rapid action taken over it, I don't think that a humble apology like Puncheon to Cortese after twitter-gate will see him welcomed back into the fold.

Thought he looked a bit handy

Golf was crap then!?!

I was really hoping that GS was going to confess that he really enjoyed his Golf yesterday, and seeing as we racked up an emphatic win without his presence......... we could maybe pass the hat round and get enough money together to send him out on the course for 4-5 hours on a Matchday everyweek and give us all a rest. C'est la Vie.

He seems to have rediscovered the edge he had at Burnley, and reason why we bought him.

Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles?!! In before the lock too!!
