John Boy Saint

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!!

Wasn't there something about not believing in debt or encouraging debt being one of the ethics Markus adhered to (yes having billions makes that statement very easy to make) when various pieces were coming out about him when he first rocked up?...................................................... on the flipside didn't we recently link up with a 'tinpot' betting company with a big Far Eastern customer base?

Blimey have they not seen that changing managers whenever the Church spire weather vane changes direction in one season historically does very little to stop the rot, talk about jumping up and down on the trapdoor to conference football. Most amusing

Of course we do, but you have to admit that Premiership is a 6 club league and Everton in the media, when you see the 2013 SPOTY nominantions for the Young personalty and that Januzai lad gets in the running off the back of one impressive goal then you can see my cynical view................................ I should have punctuated my post with a or a

It will be that Januzai nipper, closely followed by Cleverley, then Sterling battling it out with Townsend, with Ross and Luke in amongst the also rans. Oh hang on, the media have chuff all to do with this vote so he could actually be in with a chance.

Caused a ceasefire in the usual clap trap that grows like fungus in numerous threads on here: job done.

The mighty Manchester United are in a similar boat with 1 Win in 13 games against the top 9, so its not as if we are alone in this predicament.

................................ On TV!

18 bloody points dropped from a winning position!! That is unforgivable. Pile of shiney whatsit

We have such a soft under belly

I reckon we should make a bid for the abolition of Half time because we always seem to come out like we have one slice to many of Dundee cake with our cup of tea

Devil and deep blue sea for him there any touch OG
