John Boy Saint

I would say the same, Trouble is the majority of his observations are pretty much spot on, backed up by his winnings down the bookies, not talking about a flutter here and there, serious money, providing a primary income more often than not.

I have a customer, and friend, who when he was a nipper was on the books initially at Bristol City then was picked up by Villa, he recalls playing against Shearer and the Wallace's at academy level, sadly he dropped what some would consider a minor clanger at Villa and was shown the door to the end of his football career. Even though the years have passed watching football with him is an education as he will point out various things the average Footie fan just would not see. He is also a Man United fan, and noticed the disciplined system that Fergie had in place in so much that if everyone does what job Fergie had told them to do that even he could score for Man U in his 40s. He could point out players that would be dropped for not adhering to the system and those new players who hadn't quite got the system into their game, so would be only used from the bench if at all, he always backed it up by pointing out that academy products would invariably slot into the first team on their debut and look very comfortable straight away. I saw him on Friday and he said straight away the Moyes hasn't quite worked out how to tighten up the system which has had the tension loosened on it, he isn't far away from unlocking the door but he could take a little time to find the right door with the tightening mechanism behind it.

Who cares as long as we keep the tally ticking along every week.

Oh do keep up!! Watch Saints on the telly and you can keep up with Strictly and X-Factor too: simples!!

See if you put your left leg in when doing the Hokey Cokey, you will always fall over: watch and learn!!

That was something else, the whole stadium (apart from one corner obviously) just exploded into unreserved euphoria.

What a great read cheers Gemmel. If the answer to point 2 can be found the world could well be our Oyster.

Without doubt the pairing of Morgan and Victor has made our midfield hard as nails a bit of Beauty and the Beast, or even Velvet Glove in Morgan and Iron Fist in Victor (not that Morgan is shy of being a bit nasty). for a while I have often thought that with Morgan in midfield he gives the team a good tempo. That precision tackle on Wellbeck when you consider that Morgan already had a yellow card was akin to the work of a brain surgeon.

Ref has the Fergie clock on his wrist 5 chuffin minutes where they come from

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh yesssssssssss!!

Woo hoo Guly o'clock

Swansea just opening up Sunderland with 2 in 2 minutes.

Looking like Lambert is more of a playmaker than some have given him credit for, coming on now.

Dust off the ducking stool!!

Ref is 45 been a prem ref since 2008 has only done 2 matches THIS season was 4th officiall at last seasons FA cup so no one with cotton wool behind their ears gets that gig

Osvaldo in the refs face at the whistle.

Come on boys put a lid on them

Clucking bell

Echo....echo........

Only been in charge of 2 prem games this season

Ooooooo ain't it exciting!!

Got that blooming 12 year old playing for them, those ITK say he is ahead of Rooney at the same age.

Makes sense Lambert on the bench seeing as he has just spent the week with Rooney Wellbeck Carrick Jones Smalling, if I missed anyone you get the gist.

Seeing as he has only just ambled back from International duty I would doubt that he is near the team sheet this afternoon. But why should MP spin the roulette wheel just to fit in someone in based now on his price tag when the squad is purring along nicely without Gaston. The candle so many still seem to be holding for Ramirez on here must be nearly out of both wax and wick.
