John Boy Saint

What, joy, another South American midfielder to replace a Striker doesn't make sense. 192 games 23 goals I expect many of us could shoot that efficiently from long range with both feet. I thought thats what we need a bit more Clyne long range shooting rather than pit-pat round the goal we favour so much, when reading the Wiki doings on him then the scoring record showed up and I would be quite happy to see Nathaniel light a couple every week. Like that Chelsea have £12m plus Demba Ba on the table. So he must be good.

He didnt lash out! El-Abd wrapped his legs round Rickie to stop him getting up, whilst still both on the ground Rickie went to push him off and that cheating little scumbag made out like he had been punched by Mike Tyson, and Numptie D'Urso got his revenge for losing his Premiership status at SMS after losing count of the number of yellows he had given one Blackburn player a few years before. If Rickie had lashed out at him, we would have missed El Abd trying to wind up Andy Carroll v Liverpool in the cup, being sidestepped and landing flat on his face with no-one near him to get the blame.

That would be 25 pages by lunchtime, 10 pages obviously would be full on Troll war with the odd keyboard sniper taking one or two out if they faulter, it will then fizzle out by page 35 (just after lunch on the second day) only to be bumped 20 minutes after the final whistle last game of the season and allowed to yo-yo up and down the 1st page of The Saints like a Whores drawers, until the close of the summer transfer window. This Sauce of yours when did they say Messi would sign?

£12 To stand in a shed to watch Basingstoke Town in the Skril Conference South league at the Camrose ground, or £20 to sit in a stand, the majority of which will be out of the rain, with a good view to watch Premier league v Championship in the FA Cup. Its all over priced but by comparison not a massive mickey take, like £40 was it to watch Chelsea from behind the goals. Eastleigh is £12 too, Bashley out in the Forest playing in the Southern League is £10, Luton Town in the Skril Premier £18.

Only Saw the Pen this morning on the news, first viewing Pen- replay - Penalty. and the free kick for Sunderlands first goal we have seen them given all day long apart from when Rickie is involved. Be interesting to see what Moyes gets for his straight out moaning about the Ref post match, he sounded like a man who knew the Refs favour the Prem Darlings and was smarting from not getting the favourable treatment that goes with just being Manchester United.

Can't blame him if true, personally I think it's a shame as he is not as bad as folks make out, his problem right now, aside from Jose gelling so well with Dejan, is the lack of games which is making him rusty. If it wasn't for the confederations cup last summer he would have probably been paired up handsomely with Dejan. As last season he was the intelligent defender when paired with Jose, which had him play out of his natural position, and Jos.

Oops must have slid past that: best pop on the Morons hat then.

This First touch pile of steaming whatsit second back of the net.

Off his backside!! While Holt was whining about a blade of grass in a red and white shirt slicing off both his legs at the other end of the pitch.

I'm surprised Augustin Delgardo and his personal shopper Chalala or whatever his name was hasn't git a mention on this thread. Always had a niggly injury with us but a trip on a plane back to Colombia was the miracle cure to always be ready for the national side.

Oooo v the Glovers

Anyone know the story behind the pink ball? apart from it being pink!

Mines not on the pitch. Sat in the stand 1st pre season game in Palafrugell, Jos, Maya, and Mayuka sat behind us, Jos is in a chatty mood. Then my mate asks "where are you guys staying" to which Jos answers "f**k knows, ish in der middle of bloody nowhere!" "All I know is I get on the bus, when it schtops I get off!". "Does that include traffic lights?" says I which has the other 2 laughing and me getting a Paddington stare off Jos.

I can't believe the Bellends giving Ramirez a performance score in the posts you really need to take a chuffin big look in the mirror at yourselves!! Aside from being bloody hopeless (yes worse than Jos): THE FACT HE WALKED OFF THE PITCH AND STRAIGHT DOWN THE TUNNEL WHILST WE WERE STILL PLAYING!! LEAVING US WITH 10 MEN ON THE PITCH, BEFORE THE GAME STOPPED AND THE BOARD WAS SHOWN REPLACING HIM WITH ADAM, THAT IS UNFORGIVABLE AND THE ONLY SCORE WORTHY OF GIVING HIM IS A BLOODY GOOD KICK UP THE BACKSIDE. Just get shot of him: as useful as a one legged man in an aR$e kicking competition applies. Apart from that quite an enjoyable game Burnley are no mugs and big Sean obviously told them to have a proper go second half which made it entertaining. Nathaniel certainly lit the blue touch paper with his goal.

Probably only take a thimble full to achieve that, the tight fitness regime they have been on this season.

Nope we qualify for the spiteful "don't be so bloody insolent with your stupid appeal just for that we will increase the ban to 6 games" Double Whammy extra bonus............................... probably more so now we have stuck our stick in the referees hornets nest with Battenburg!!

Or Just give us the even more sH1ttier end of the stick for daring to question the moral standing of one of their own!

Well fancy that!! Hardly surprising when you have Refs like Peter Walton being allowed to continue refereeing as long as they did what hope is there, just remember the penalty he gave to us v Brighton when Jose was fouled just by the Bargate: 2-3 weeks later he was in charge of a Premiership game! Just sums up what most of us have felt for years................... And Mike Riley at the top of the pile, not a chance of getting anything.

Which is what I said on the Captaincy thread the other day, Adam didn't have the armband on which is why he got booked for giving Battenburg a bit of chirp as he has gotten so use to the Armband being on and the level of protection it offers in being able to talk to the referee as Captain. Adam rightly goes off on one but Clattenburg just sees him as a general foot soldier so books him for possibly being over confident in his argument. If you watched John Terry on Wednesday he was part of nearly every conversation the ref had with a Chelsea player, Adam has done the same this season. Kelvin maybe the Club Captain but in these days of refs being "sponsored by Clinton's" you really do need an outfield player to challenge and talk to the ref as Captain in this case Kelvin couldn't do that from the other end of the ground. And that is what will be used to sweep this under the carpet with.

Old Mother Riley overseeing this controversy, hang on while a big enough edge of carpet is loosened to sweep it under.

Trouble is if we applied that kind of nicey nicey thought process to everyone who walked through the door, who couldn't be aR$ed to get himself into a position to be considered for a first team berth we would be very quickly be looking forward to a trip to Nottarf Krap every season. 18 months is a bloody long time for it not to click, and there are a bunch of nippers in the academy who will not give 2 hoots about trampling over Gaston to get to the promised land.

Hello Neil's being a damp squib!!

:lol: sorry roger couldn't resist............................ Think Bazza was underestimating his value: should be at least £2500.43 a Conker, half a chewed toffee, and a picture card of Bobby Charlton!

Those mooring posts on the Pavement down Northam road will be getting some use at last then!

But that was only when the Ice Caps melt and Southampton becomes Atlantis!!
