John Boy Saint

Blimey Charlie! last time I looked on here just before 6pm there were just 2 pages, now it looks like Prozac sales on the internet will be getting a major boost in the Hampshire area. Skimming through it, made me think of the scene in Airplane when someone shouts "we are all going to die!!" and panic breaks out.

Humongous is the word that is missing between A & Loss. £12m plus £100k a week for a pit pony like that!! That does have Harold Redknapp written all over it!

3 games, not mathematically safe, given an out of recent form spanking from a tidy team, time to earn his corn. Thought his post match comments were an honest assessment.

As MP said to Solent: Mal Dia - Bad Day. Clarke had done hs homework on us and fair play to him he has done a very good job for WBA this season. It will be interesting to see how Pochettino lifts the players from this, but then this is what he is paid for. The one thing that made me seeth more than a disappointing performance from the team was the fickle pathetic attitude of the fans who got up and walked out at 0-3. I so wished we had miraculously pulled off the feat we did against Liverpool a few years back when at 0-3 with about 10 minutes left we battered it back to 3-3 at the final whistle. At least we have a decent hardcore of fans.

I had the same thought, but (having seen the replays) in reality in the real time the ref had at his disposal he was absolutely bob on: hard as that is to say.

Between Lambert, Davis and Schneiderlin for me. Lallana admits that he looks up to Lambert, and seems too nice, which is no good. I voted for Morgan as he is one player who can lead by example, especially as week in week out he consistently puts in one hell of a shift.

I know Footballers are recognised as being not as sharp between the ears as your average bloke on the street, but the look of shock from Danny Fox at the red card jeez!! It's a bloody good job the Baggies player was already on the ground with nothing to resist the impact, that was pure kamikaze!!

At the end of the day we are all Saints fans and we know that the toast invariably lands butter side down, but until the fat lady no longer has a ticket for Southampton as Greavsie always said its a funny old game.

Trouble is he let an absolute battering of Jos go scot free then books Jos I think for something not dissimilar: which in the coliseum that is St Mary's with Saints tinted spectacles just whips us all up into a frenzy.

To add a little more sparkle to this lightening the mood thread: Newcastle are currently being spanked 6-0 at home to Liverpool!!

I too thought it would be Lallana, and initially surprised at Cork but then afterwards, and now sat at home, he did dilly dally a bit more than normal today............... I do really wish he would have a go when he has a clear sight of goal.

In the past when we had Adult and Child STs when we had a friend coming and one of the kids was off out somewhere, rather than queer our pitch we upgraded at the ticket office, we paid. The difference they issued a match ticket and kept hold of the season ticket book which we just collected after the match.

Back 4 v Spurs left to right Clyne - Jos - Fonte - Yoshida.

***STOP PRESS*** Dont panic we are saved!! Hallelujah!! Back of the Mail today - John Terry makes a U turn: he wants to play in the World Cup!! So that's Terry & Ferdinand at centre back sorted even of they do hate each other. Woy must be so relieved!! As should all of we!!

This is the one thing Dave Whelan is right about, Super League get the money spread equally throughout the league, which prevents the haves and have nots that exists in the Premier league.

Was that Eric Martin in a clip on a thread about a year ago featuring Arsenal v Saints from Highbury on Boxing Day back in the Black & White days, it was snowing the pitch was White, the Terraces were white, and he was in goal with no gloves on keeping a clean sheet!! Boruc definitely fits into the unhinged goalie category. The slapping of his head is strange, but has anyone spotted the "I wish I was in Kansas" tapping his heels together with a little jump.

Watching Man U the other night winning the league for the umpteenth time, not one person was on the pitch from the crowd. Then I thought what would happen if we won the Premiership would we stand any chance of seeing an on pitch presentation, if the last player parade was anything to go by fans at the Northam (before you all check your shoulders for chips that includes the Itchin and Kingsland) half of the pitch could not behave long enough for the players to make it all the way round. I could see a big celebration being a total fiasco. Stoke game loads will be on the pitch as it seems to have become the norm. Dozen Police dogs might put a different slant on it though.

I think most of us at the time thought that Prutton was going to cop it, having had a right go at the linesman and pushing the ref. And it so needed not to happen, if the linesman had shown a pair and not allowed Referee Wiley to wave away his flagging for a blatant foul on Prutton by Cole, I think, the red mist would not had descended. A couple years later I was at an Evening where Alan Wiley was there and someone asked why he thought that Prutton had lost it, he said he had no idea, so I took great pleasure in telling him.

The joke is Manchester United play to a system that SAF drills into the players, that's how players no one as ever heard of just seem to slot into the system and sparkle because they are bought to fit it. Their academy players, like ours now, are brought up to play to that system. Hansen famously said "you will win nothing with kids" about United and was proved wrong as the crop that came through from their academy were the cream who could execute the system with aplomb. So when winkle Roy goes to watch them at OT every week the likes of Cleverly, Welbeck, and Jones look bloody dynamite in the system, but as soon as you he takes them out of that system to play his England way they look to be wanting. For goodness sake take the blinkers off Roy.

Very easy, most Germans speak very good English especially the younger ones. I recently did a Trade Show in Frankfurt it was easier getting information over the phone and at the show its self with very little trouble (probably a damn sight easier than at the NEC Brum) with the very little German I have, in fact most folks defaulted to English instantly! Give it a go Beer is good, Grub is good especially if you like meat and Pork in-particular.

Sorry mate, Seems my innocent comment complete with smiley face to emphasise the jest intended has resulted in you having to justify yourself.

Here we go, we must be Premier league as the Far Eastern ticket re-sellers have rocked up!!

At the current rate it should start in August next year.

You've splashed the cash with the idea of going to the game on flights, you believe that you are now going to have to bite the bullet and cough up on the black market, I would have a look at the hospitality tickets as that way you are going into it with your eyes wide open.

Gold star to you mate, glad someone had kept tabs on that number most useful thank you.
