John Boy Saint

Just made me think of Mattys comment in his Testimonial programme I think, when he was sat with his agent and Terry Vegetables was on the phone wanting him to sign for Spurs the conversation went along the lines of "Matt it's Terry wanting you to sign for him at Spurs, what shall I say" from vague recall Matts response was "tell him to F off!". Like Viking just said nearly Midday and nowts been said.

Ah the Daily Express, the paper that has us regularily Due to suffer a cold snap colder than the worst winters day in Antartica, a Heatwave with temperatures that would turn the Sahara to glass, and Winds fiercer that those experienced in Red Spot storm on Jupiter!! And not fogetting the Sighting of Diana riding Shergar round at Lord Lucan's.

The Sherwood factor is likely to be key to whoever ends up managing Spurs, the bloke was managing the team with a death sentence already passed on him, yet the team still went out and played well for him until the very last day of the season. We have seen over the years that football players en masse can be funny buggers, Luggy got the runaround at Saints despite WGS's blessing of his appointment, Chelsea players gave one or two of their managers the runaround, Manure players last season messed about with Moyes despite SAF rubber stamping him, if it is MP then he is going to have to bring his A game to the dressing room as The ghost of Tim Sherwood in the team will likely have him enjoying Christmas and New Year with his family. The fact that we have not heard the merest peep from the hierarchy at Saints is very surprising and a tad strange considering the Avalanche of press comment we are enduring at present.

lets get back on to Michelle: a most pleasant distraction

I thought the ref was a bit soft.

Despite the rain the pitch looks a bit slow

Folks like an underdog, add Cameron and Milliband into the mix trying to belittle them and it just boosts their chances with the common man especially as they offer a bigger kick in the guts than the Lib Dems. Polling Day should be moved to a weekend as how many folks who commute to work get home after 7pm and all they want to do is have their dinner and put their feet up to unwind, not traipse down to the Scout Hut to put an X in a box on a bit of paper. It was my 18year Old Daughters first time to vote yesterday but whereas I looked forward to my first trip as it was a rite of passage, she was pretty inert to the whole idea of going to vote.

Steady on!! You know what happened last time!

43 posts away from some wag saying that this thread will reach page 44 before an announcement will be made regarding MP.

Some dopey bugger will probably vote for them due to the name association.

If winning that "tin pot trophy" did anything on 2 occasions it has stopped the Chelsea fans signing their bloody Champions of Europe song endlessly at SMS as the repost of "JPT you'll never win that" has left them left them dazed and confused with no reply. For me having been to 3 Saints Finals, a play-off Final, and the FA Trophy final (the latter 2 as a guest supporter) to finally walk away from Wembley after 30 years of disappointment as a winning supporter makes it a worthy trophy in my eyes.

Thats it Adam put another log on the fire to keep it going.................... Although the speed this thread went from start to 3 pages shows that the merest spark and a light Zephyr and away we go like a tinderbox.

Bob or Tony?

The fact that they have achieved it in a league where Real Madrid and Barcelona alone get something like 55% of the TV money shows that it is possible with the right players and work ethic. Didn't Simeone and MP play under the same Argentine manager who is held in high esteem for his management style, a style that seems to have rubbed off on the 2 of them. If we can keep everyone here and add well then there should be no reason why we can't upset the Applecart or at least ruffle a few more feathers.

Taters and Townsend aren't far behind

What niggled a bit was all the chit chat from the taters "9 years has been a long wait" really? Bloody Hull have been waiting 115 years! Football on TV really is a table for 5 or 6 Diners!

So glad we have the BT Sport option only downside Owen talking cobblers

How the Dickens do you get them? I can't think of anything you write that has me scrambling to write a letter to the Daily Mail................. But then the ability to be able to write the C word without stars in the middle probably doesn't help!

Nope he's back already from Skeggy, as they could only afford a week with the "Sensational Family Holidays for only £10 only in The Sun!!" due to the over usage penalties from their internet provider severely denting the Family finances somewhat.

Nice

Playing Golf yesterday and one of the lads works in sports media (Saints fan too), as the 4 of us ambled round football popped up on the agenda, I commented that you would think we had just been relegated the way the Vultures are circling above our team, this chap said a pretty reliable ITK friend of his mentioned another Spanish speaking manager is on Levy's radar.

I expect our interest a pretty credible bargaining tool in those negotiations.

They are all looking at their phones........... Probably got texts from their Wives telling them to not even think about going to the Casino then Lap Dancing afterwards as that nice Mr Levy with huge pockets full of cash won't like that on the back page of the Sun................... (If that is Les) His is from Ralph telling him to get them roaring drunk and into some un-savoury scrapes and to stick it all on the company card.

He'll like living so close to the New Forest then: there are loads of them lurking in there!!

He's gone to Skegness on his Holibobs in a caravan with his Mum, Dad and Nan, there is no t'internet but Steve Grant should receive a postcard any day now at Saintsweb global headquarters which he can post for us all to read.
