John Boy Saint

Bit strange but fair enough, especially as when we were about to plummet into the abyss he was on the verge of a no doubt cushy little number at West Ham. Then ML & NC rocked up and yanked us back from edge and amongst all the work in progress to buy Saints persuaded Kelvin to stay with us, which based on the past 3 seasons was a blinding bit of business. There are a few comments regarding Rickie above, I thought that he had signed a healthy contract extension around this time last year.

Seems pretty sane to me, oh hang on I see it: vaguely...................You know it is only the Echo not the Sunday essay in the Observer.

I love these let's sing a clever song for X Y or Z............... They always come to nowt, I am amazed the Rickie Lambert song caught on: with there being so many words and all.

Danny Higginbottom had one chalked off where the goalie had fumbled he poked it in but despite there being a player on the line it was ruled as offside because there was only one out field player on the line if there had been 2 the goal would have stood, it's one of those subsection F iii vagaries of the offside rule that normally gets lost in the hubbub of the game, but that day the Lino had just returned from a rules refresher course and ruled it out!

Found my place in the Forum standings ........ Invisible. I will try again still 0-0 or did Tevez score?

Cote du Rhone has to be the safest direction for Red, but never just pull the cork out and pour it down your neck that will more often than not result in disappointment. If you just can't wait decant it, even if it means pouring into a jug if you don't have a decanter. One of my favourites recently have been Reds from the Duero region of Spain & Portugal, the same hills Port grapes come from, that needs to breathe for quite a while and be nice and warm. I have pulled the bung out of one before setting off down the Saints and left it on a sunny ish window sill, by the time I have got back around 6 it has been spot on. In Spain it always accepts being opened and drunk: strange. Someone further up this thread hinted at Rose sheepishly from under their breath. There ain't nowt wrong with Rose these days, the dark days from the House of Mateus are long in the past, Cote du Province is your best bet, although I have found a little gem from Catalunya which stinks of Blackberrys and Blackcurrants on the nose almost like Ribena, goes down like Ribena did when you were a nipper then the room starts moving and your mouth starts misbehaving!! Going back to Red and Top Guns issue, not knowing how old he is, I had a spell from late teens until late 20's where I lost the point of Red Wine, then my taste for it returned. Before you totally give up get a Camembert leave that out of the fridge to get all soft and gooey spread on some water biscuits with a glass of Red and see if that helps.

Forum Vision viewer here, was that a hit or a miss from Tevez?

Surely he was first in the shower for that?!

Hood up on my Anorak, Niemi hardly had to wait anytime at all, Lowe had signed him on 23rd August 2002 when Strachan was, I believe, eyeing up some Polish nipper called Boruc. Strachan knew very little about Antti and was a little miffed. Paul Jones had dropped another clanger or 2 against possibly Derby away so Niemi was brought in for the Charlton match on the 21st September 2002 where he got MOTM probably for the blinding save he was not naturally meant to reach from a free kick heading in at the very top left hand corner of the goal. Just Less than a calendar month after being at the club. So far with this Forren bloke it seems very strange that he ducked out of the Liverpool trial to sign for us makes me think both him and his agent knew he was faulty goods which a trial would have exposed so opted for the easy option and signed for Saints and their quirky transfer committee. I look forward to being proved wrong. Hood down Anorak off.

Lawrie Mac always said that the team need to do something to get the crowd going, once they did the place was rocking. Seems like its a genetic flaw in us Saints supporters, so nowt new. The team seemed to be on different hymn sheet today QPR were pretty dire and we sank to their level and as a result so did us supporters. Aint nowt anyone can do about it.

My Boss is a QPR ST holder, didn't want to talk much about the game, his fear was with Remy crocked Zamora ("not that you can call him a striker") doubtful, Samba will be playing as a striker again!!

Phew I was on the right website afterall!!

Twin set and pearls, tweed skirt and court shoes that would show them............................. Oh dear I have just posted on the wrong forum: blooming iPad!!!

Sounds like a very sound investment then. "when's that Forren chap going to be ready for a first team start?!!". "He is now Mr Chairman, he is already one of the top players on FM13" "That's excellent news, I will see that he gets a bonus in his next pay packet".

With our label as being one of the best teams to have played here there and everywhere of late a win is the minimum. So I shall decline your offer of a point today. Just keep our foot on the gas, score early and look to score again get to 2-0 and it will stop the QPR Stamford Bridge bus being parked in front of their goal, then us being undone by the ball over the top of our 10 in their half for Tarabt or Remy (if he is back) to run onto. We can't show any mercy.

Being trained up as Captain.

Deleted: politically incorrect post!

I would say the number plate might be a clue, to either Gaston or a midlife crisis toy for Nicola although the latter would have a UK plate. if it is Gastons then it's about right, a lot of noise and promised performance but when the road gets a little twisty slightly disappointing. Back to the game the fly in the ointment is Caesar in goal for them, the Brazilian national team have obviously sent him to QPR for intensive goalkeeping practise ahead of them hosting the World Cup. But if we keep playing this after you Claude pit pat around the box rather than lighting a few missiles he will be happy all day.

And if the ref hadn't let Puncheon leave the field of play second half v Everton....................................

That's a very bold statement, can you back that up with a solid facts??!!

Nice to see we are consistent!!

Lack of awareness is the top and tail of it, always remember Graham Taylor on those Celebrity Footy games telling the Celebs that the pros are always taking mental photographs of who is where especially with the opposition. A few times this season it appears Fox still has a 35mm film camera that keeps running out of film. Blasting the ball at an acute angle straight into Jos is unforgivable, instead of realising he had time to take a touch and launch it or chest back to Boruc. The alarm bell first went of with him this season when he thought it wise to head the ball towards the centre of the box at the Etihad for the Citeh winner: at the home of the champions that was like watching Shark week on TV then slicing your hand open and jumping into a tank of Sharks. Adkins obviously saw the flaws early on and was willing to risk a nipper over an international who had been first choice all the previous season. Shame really but the Premier League is a cruel division with little margin for error or sentiment.

Bloody Steak, well done was my first choice now increasingly juicy seems to be the way: just wondering when I will cross the threshold into Tartare!?

Hmmmmmm I am feeling a little bit of Delgado revisited.

Phew that a relief!!
