John Boy Saint

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!!

Looks like we will be playing the Subs then. hat, coat, door not banging on my aR$e!!

Really?, in the last 2 games he has gone after balls punted out to the wing and got them when just about everyone including players on the pitch thought were a lost cause. V Spurs he had Danny Rose, who is no slouch, blowing a few times when being shown a clean pair of heels by Callum.

The other thing could be that Cork invariably passes safely sideways more often than forwards.

probably not Cork who can't be trusted but the referees, when a yellow was handed out for Ashley Cole kicking his own ankles and going down in "pain" with the amount of laying about on the wet grass Chelsea players did at the merest of contact and the ref buying it why risk the chance of losing a key mid fielder to a nothing second yellow.

Anyone hear if the Lass said yes to the Lads marriage proposal on the big screen at half time? The chant of "you don't know what your doing" was quite amusing from the crowd.

We all know Christmas is a bit of a pain for players with less recovery time between games, as a commentator said the other day in, I think it was the Man City game, that City had a glittering array of individual talent whereas Saints had glittering talent as a unit. We all know that our style of play takes a lot of effort and aside from Chelsea changing to game with a double substitution, our own work ethic just bit us on the backside yesterday. As others have said we looked tired, certain key players looked tired which going back to Saints sparkling as one, then with parts of the unit stuttering the whole was going to get wobbly against a team like Chelsea. Finally Gaston Ramirez really needs to step up to the plate, he has been here 18months now and despite lots of people on here fawning and going all Doe eyed at the mere mention of his name, if he didn't have the price tag to hide behind he would be getting a slagging like that seen handed out to Jermaine Wright and Telfer in the past For a bloke who should be the freshest on the pitch yesterday he spent far too much time as a passenger, losing the ball too easily too often, and showing no peripheral vision. It's a shame really as we obviously saw a very talented player when we went all round the houses to buy him.

The state of the tide is the overriding influence, the only game we have lost to rain was the Palace game and that was down to a high spring tide not allowing the surface water drains to run off into the Itchen / Solent.

Kiss my arse says ****ed of Old Basing! No worries Nicky I'll take it from here mate!!

Well I thought that was quite amusing easy viewing!

I think Roger is getting a bit protective of Matty: Roger mate, no-one is knocking Matty.

As the thread title Says Worthington, Razor! Peanuthead, Fashanu. or +1 at 6pm........... If you ain't started drinking yet.

??.

Goal scorers will always get legend status sooner as they invariably, err, win games. If Matty didn't smack them into the back of the net at will he would have had a thread on here all to himself every week for being Fat Lazy, drinks Malibu, and is useless. As more Saints fans become educated into the way in which we play, they will increasingly see the contribution that Adam makes thus increasing calls for inclusion in the Saints Legend Hall of Fame. If he starts putting away the chances he creates for himself then more and more folks will give him the title of legend more readily.

Question is if Adam was wearing the captains armband would he have got the yellow for chirping on in Battenburgs ear?

I would say it gives us the upper hand with so many Bristish and players who have played at lower levels in the middle of winter in the driving rain. Rickie, Morgan, Adam, Jay, Jose, Jack, Kelv, Steven, Nathaniel, Luke (as long as his Mum has packed his vest) sorted.

Go on Batman you know you want to............ It will save yourself from the sauce tonight!!

That list should keep the Queen busy!!!

Have I woken up in another dimension, or has being stuck indoors thanks to the weather just sent folks a little mental?

I think he misses not having Guly in front of him.

The referee is assessed from the stand and a report goes somewhere who knows where if anywhere when you consider how incompetent Peter Walton was for years, but before that report is submitted the assessor has access to the TV match recording and he can view that and re write his match assessment on the referee based on what he sees. But where that ends up is anyone's guess.

No that was D'urso

One Swallow and all that certainly applies here.

Gary Neville even said Webb had a smirk on his face, then asked what were you thinking Howard? Nice one Gary!
