John Boy Saint

I would expect a nice soft seat like what you get at LEAGUE 1 Franchise FC for that money.

TV deal means they could stay exactly the same price and none of the clubs would even notice.

Lows: No hot water from the taps in the gents under the Chapel especially on a bitterly cold day, it's like being an away fan! Coffee (when you have been seriously on the sauce the night before, a pint at the game and then driving home not the best idea) being served in increasingly smaller cups on the concourse. Seeing the Programme shop under the Chapel empty and not being used for anything.......... What was the point in closing it during the season?!

Would it not be the no nonsense pose off the front of the Leeds programme from last season, just days before he screwed Arsenal to the floor with the Oxo deal!! Oh! I have just acquired 300 acres of land around Basingstoke for Park and Ride matchday facilities to make use of the Direct rail line to Southampton, as traffic on matchdays sounds like it will be queuing from the A303 turning off the M3 from about 2am. Anyone looking for a slice of the action is more than welcome.

Bingo! Kept my powder dry watching the scurrying around from my ST seat this morning. Phoned just now 40 second wait and nailed down a seat directly behind me and Mrs JBS for our daughter who with the game not being on a Saturday can come along, that will put a massive smile on her face. Always remember the disappointment at not seeing Saints regularly at her age through having to work at the weekends.

Hope they get on with it before we win the Premiership next season! If the Stoke ticket thread is anything to go by Just imagine the Bedouin like encampment queue that will pop up across the districts of St Mary's and Northam 2 weeks before the tickets go on sale!!

Okay boys no rush, just let the 51 year old catch his breath.

On Mattys testimonial night the following week Tahar and Shearer had a bit of a good natured tame tussle for the ball in the Northam penalty box. Saturday's game still fresh in the mind the Northam started chanting "Shearers gonna get ya!". To which Shearer turned to the Northam with a broad grin.

I thought it was a sound hard fair tackle, still do. Bloody Sixty Clicks made a big meal of making sure Tahar got to feel the full heat of the pitch police as he rolled over and over more times than that Aston Martin in Casino Royale (in fact I wouldn't be surprised if that was the inspiration for that stunt). He pigged up his knees for a few days with his rolling about, one week he crippled for life, couple of weeks later bouncing around like a spring Lamb. Tahar was really upset at the thought of possibly having ended a fellow professionals career, tried talking to Dyer who totally rejected his attempts to apologise. It was Last game of the season, and Matty was due to make his very last League appearance for the last 5-10 minutes, but Tahars sending off scuppered that idea, but fair play to Telfer he treated us with a goal out of Matty's book of great goals. i always remember that game because of the sending off, the goal, and the teenage lad I was stood next to when Telfer scored had tears running down his face blubbering that he had never seen Saints win a game he was at!

Will his Mum Judy Finnegan be in the Itchen soft seats with his Dad Richard. Hat Coat I won't let the door bang on my backside on the way out.

Blimey better make an appointment to get my ears syringed!!!!

And is finally discovered to be the cause of the collapse of the Internet across the globe 5 years before, by someone with a Sinclair ZX that was discovered to be the only computer able to utilise the merest thread of remaining background internet.

I asked this somewhere else but had no reply, but as quite a few on here were there: did my ears deceive me or did I hear a chant of "it's a lovely day for watching the Swans" coming from their fans?

Funny that Gaston Ramirez has not been mentioned anywhere, but then silly me he cost a small fortune err 'the club won't sell him" ! For those who have been paying attention most will realise that there is little room for sentiment where Cortese is concerned in his quest to do the job. To be brutally honest we have certainly not seen what most would associate with a player of that cost, 9 months in and he is being kept out of the starting 11 by an Academy player, one who was a steal at £750k, and what is becoming £7.5m well spent. Yes he has scored some goals but in reality he has disappointed overall. If we were to off load him after one season that would make some folks sit up and pay attention. Only a controversial thought so the sandbags have been filled and the tin hat pulled on!!

Please can someone confirm that my ears did hear "It's a lovely day for watching the Swans" being sung. Land of my Fathers sounded very good from them.

All lies everyone knows Football didn't exist before 1992. Seriously though it is always fascinating when you stumble over old Sunday papers.

Thought he played well today, not easy up against someone like Dyer who is quick and moves like a wasp trying to avoid being swatted.

I had to admire his outward display of disappointment as Fox looked to be going lame with cramp, Mayuka was waiting to come on then everyone pointed out to MP that Fox was in trouble so he called back Luke to go on and motioned for Mayuka to go back to the dugout, for a moment he forgot where he was and reverted back to being 5 years old and just denied sweets in the shop, and had a mini stamping paddy. Good to see he is champing at the bit.

As must Phillip Schofield and as for Gordon the Gopher!!! Trouble is these days there is always someone looking for a quick buck for a story, only trouble is the main man to maximise their opportunity for 'top dollar', Max Clifford has also had his collar felt by the Feds on Operation Yew Tree.

Can you really get an infraction for making people laugh out loud at the "oh **** moment" and the legs trying to run down the road really fast. The tape from the car and the double take from the Rozzers would probably be very funny too. Cheers Bearsy!!

As I posted elsewhere I think from 9th position down in the Championship none is safe from relegation, which is barking mad, still the one consolation is, having only watched the last few minutes of tonight's game, the quality of who might come up increases the odds of consolidating our Premiership status next season (should we cross to the safe side of the line this season) Cardiff could survive. Hull, should they make it, are looking like a team needing a shed load of readies. Watford if they cross the line will be interesting, they have a Donkey of a ground and a current team that is made up of some very clever use of the loan player rules. To answer the original question: Jordan Rhodes absolute dynamite for Uddersfield, but I think a poor career move to the club challenging p*mpey for the title of Clown team of the year.

I think they have to give a minimum of a month or 6 weeks notice to televise a game, the only time that goes out of he window is last day of the season when everyone kicks off at the same time, plus not all kicking off at 3pm on a Saturday negates the ruling of not being able to show a live league game at that time.

That was worth it just for the moment when as the team was being read out and it was the mangers turn, the bloke sat in front of us turned to his mate and said "just listen to this" as soon as Ian Branfoots name was mentioned the Boo's were deafening!! Bit surreal as he had got us to the 'banned from Europe substitute cup final'. Actually the 1979 League Cup Final I would not give up as it will live with me for ever for 2 reasons, Lawrie Mac sorted my tickets for My Dad and me. But most of all; my Dad had never been to a Football match in his life (at 14 I had to get there somehow before the moaning starts) so to loose his 'cherry' at Wembley full to its 100,000 capacity priceless on its own. Stood behind the goal on the upper tier my Dad had obviously been touched by the atmosphere because when David Peach rounded Shilton to slot it home and we went mental I stopped, as I watched my calm level headed sensible fairly strict Dad going absolutely berserk along with everyone else..................... Still Bloody priceless 34 years later!!

You Pillock! why waste a vote on that Plank? Watchout the Dinlows are out tonight!!........................................ its Tom Cleverly all the way for me!!

The England Team will have the Brazilian mentality of "score against us we dont care, because we will score more goals than you".
