John Boy Saint

How the **** did he miss that!!!!

The pitch looks a bit sticky with the odd quick bit here and there

Good Luck Danny, cheers for helping to get us to where we are today. And he did also provide one of those amusing moments while watching Saints away at Watford. Whilst the players were warming up he came to the hoardings right in front of us to retrieve the ball, and being 4-5 rows from the front in a good old fashioned ground he was closer than many Saints fans had previously been. 2 middle aged Ladies stood alongside us, one proclaims "Oooh that Danny Fox he's gorgeous!!" to which the other replied "Cor! Not arf!" followed by some wag telling them to "Steady on Ladies".

Just a thought on Tuesday nights game, we played with the finesse and swagger that had been stuttering to show since late November, with the players not being enamoured with him, you could wonder that if they knew this move was afoot that a dark cloud was beginning to disperse above the team. Especially when you sprinkle a little of what Jose said about the unity of the team on Solent post match.

Still the questionable as the we actually only get to see that in super slo-mo the ref see's it in real time once only, the brush is so minute how can he see it from 20yrds behind? Anyway its all done and dusted now.

Which if you watch the Brown tackle he may just brush the ball but he does not take the ball away from Gaston, in fact Gaston has actually played it in the direction he will run in towards goal, and takes out Gaston without actually gaining control of the ball or more importantly diverting its path, its exactly the same. Rose actually got a good contact on the ball. In our case I think the Clattenburg spat had a bearing on A the decision and B our soft reaction.

Seeking absolution for the sins of his parents, who prostituted the footballing ability of their own son by forcing the sale of him to Arsenal. To have come out 2 seasons running to applaud the crowd, makes me think that there is a little voice in his head asking "why did you leave?".

I think the Chambers speed issue is being clouded by the height and subsequently stride length issue creating the illusion of Clyne being "so much faster" there have been a few occasions where the ball has been pinged deep up the right wing (there was one last night) and you have thought "oh dear Chambers isn't getting that" then promptly gets to it and brings it under control. Its a very nice very healthy positional competition, on the other side Luke can blow hot and cold without too much fear of being dropped, whereas with Chambers & Clyne they are 2 different shaped players who are keeping each other on their toes.

Thought he was top drawer tonight, I have to say having seen him really for the first time in Spain pre season how impressed I was at WBA first game of the season didn't look to phased by it all, and since those 2 first viewings whenever I have heard his name read out on the starting team sheet have had no fears for him at all. The guys on the conveyer belt at the academy really have a viable target at this club and one of the best bits is so far everyone of them who have had a chance have taken it with the confidence of much older players.

Thoroughly enjoyed that tonight, most enjoyable to watch and a bloody good shift put in from the boys. Arsenal weren't allowed to play first half did what you expected second half but our equaliser was a real kick in the guts for them. hard to pick a MOTM, Morgan at times wouldn't have looked out of place in an operating theatre he is like a top draw surgeon with the effortless precision he goes about his business. Once again Chambers doesn't look out of place at all. Maya looks like he is getting up to speed knocking off the lack of match rust, a few times in the first half he had already thought what Giroud was going to do before the pass to him was yet to be made. Young Sam, you give that boy match time against seasoned professionals and he will be immense for us, very good full Debut in fact when you look at the money in Yellow shirts cruising round tonight not one of our young nippers looked out of place competing with them. Jose on Solent tonight talking about the team unity was a pretty powerful statement, any Saints fan hearing that can't fail to have felt really good about Saints right now. I now have a month where more than likely I will not be seeing Saints play in person thanks to work, so what a great game to keep me going until March.

Very good.

Blimey! Switch the lights back on and we still have Osvaldo!!

Pretty apt place to put this looking at those put out already, doesn't take long to sign. http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/59629

I quite fancied going to Spurs but now it's at one of those fidgety times on day on a Sunday

West Ham trying to loan him, blimey him and Ravel Morrison in the same squad! I know BFS likes his teams to be a bit robust on the pitch them 2 together will make My Little Donkey and Nolan look like a pair of big Jessies! The East End of London will never have been so quiet of an evening since the days of the Krays and Mad Frankie. You do wonder just how much Balliotelli's house would have been left standing if Osvaldo had been round Mario's on the night of the Firework caper.

Stick a couple of theirs up in the air in the first 10 minutes and they will be backing off through fear of missing the League Cup Final, better still do what we should have done in the league match and been right out of sight by half time.

Thanks to work I have no home game to see at St Mary's in Feb!!

Saints v Sunderland away what a pile of shiney whatsit 4 bloody times this season Gus bloody Poyet!!

Saints Number 3 apparently if not mentioned elsewhere

That answers St Patrick then :-)

Job done with the minimum of fuss nicely taken pen from Guly, sweet goal from Sam. Kelvin had his Inspector Gadget extending arms on. But strangeness moment of the match has to be during the squall when the chap sat in the Itchen's hat blew off and landed on the pitch a good 20-30 yards from where he was, the players dodged round it, then the once fat Phil Dowd picked it up took it for a trip round the pitch then when the opportunity arose handed it back to its owner.

Wondered the same at half time when she was out there

Mrs JBS thought he looks a bit like Lambert in his runs positioning and anticipation. Beautifully taken goal.

Very nice Viking. i did just have to step back outside to check the sign above this thread to see that I walked into the Yeovil thread and not the Depressed Saints Fans support group. That said if you live away from Southampton the media reaction to last weeks events was quite something, and being in Barcelona they would without doubt have had more than their tuppence worth in the press, you just had to look on here to see the amount folks with a lump of cement tied to their ankles stood on the parapet of the Itchen Bridge. Cheer up Barcelona. should be a good game today Yeovil can relax without the fear of losing points, so should give it go an keep us on our toes.

What happened to the Citeh rumour of £30m folding all done and dusted no installations cash in a suitcase (£30m ain't going to fit in a briefcase).
