John Boy Saint

What a bizarre thread! We have those who saw it for what it was from the relay to Sammy, lighthearted harmless entertainment that made the majority smile. Then those who must have really sad dark lives who are amused by very little. Then of course there are those on here who just like winding up others by slagging it off and were actually enjoying it too. I wonder how many of the Nay sayers are the same ones you saw at away games last season having poured themselves out of the pub with a few lunchtime Jaegerbombs inside them being all gobby, then once in the ground when the Mascot comes to have a look at the visitors, they stand there all big and hard giving a cuddly fluffy Mascot the middle finger telling them to F off from row 10: now that, for the uber cool who thought Wednesday night half time was embarrassing, is 100 times more cringeworthy to be associated with.

Breaks your heart............ If you are an agent. Nice to see one of the pimples on the backside of Football getting short shrift from NC.

4 games 8 points = 2 points a game which is was the target last season and easily safety in this league. At the end of September if someone had told us that we would have a run in November of being unbeaten in 4 games most on here would have taken that with a big stupid grin on their faces. Tonight we came up against a team unbeaten in 8 games so on our season starting form 3 points bagged was probably the thought in the Norwich dressing room at 20 to 8 last night.

Boy did Holt look a lump last night. Mrs JBS reckons that the only comparison between him and Rickie is that Rickie is an Adonis versus Holt (it only took 2 buckets of icy water to bring her back into line!!).

Shame I missed this thread yesterday was running late as had been working down in Bideford, missed the first 4 minutes thanks to the TL way hold up that said back home to Basingstoke by 10:40pm

He made his thoughts known them deflected the pursuance of the subject by switching the conversation to Shaw, so no great story

Best: the circa 1977 thick red stripe with thinner red stripes either side. Worst: This seasons home shirt.

Luke Shaw in a league of his own tonight.

My first observation is the opening post was made while the game was in play as was the bulk of the first page!! My view from behind was the ball was hit with some venom it dipped bounced/skidded under him that could have happened to any keeper. I was cold in the stand and watching Gazza first half he looked cold too which seemed to make him a little slow. The free kick that led to the goal was a bit soft as matey was already falling as Clyne imitated a scythe, which made it easier for Clattenburg.

Ice Hockey returns to Southampton on Wednesday night.

Hammond lighting a smoker from outside the box v Leeds. Waigo knocking it in off his backside to equalise v Norwich in the JPT, seconds after that big jessie Holt had a hissy fit at not getting a decision for the dive he just made to run out the clock and half the Norwich team incredulous that their talisman had not conned the ref as we charged off down the pitch like an invading horde.

All of the above (Grey shreddies included) and number 8 : As posted in another thread and based on my QPR season ticket holding Boss's observations, "your players had spirit, belief and worked hard together".

Lambert and Lallana at least are not on bobbins money, Lambert probably has more trouble thinking about spending it, especially as he use to rock up in a Jeep that had a few years on the plate and not the blinged up pimp wagons most footie players swan around in. Probably in reality most of the players who made the journey from league 1 were more startled rabbits in the headlights than hacked off with someone coming in for silly transfer money who might be on stratospherically more per week than they are.

He has already set the wheels in motion to bring in big Joe and Bond. I think Jordan is a sound bloke, but Bond? I remember when we were teetering on the edge of the abyss, for the Norwich game the players were all sat on the pitch as Dennis Rofe started getting them going smashing his fist into his hand with passion, when we played United last day it was Bonds turn in the middle of the players compared to Rofe was like a wet flannel totally zero passion. So good luck if he does the same job. My boss is a QPR season ticket holder his first comment when we beat them was that we had Spirit and fight that they lacked passion and effort, he does not hold out much hope for Arry to make much difference.

I am quite surprised that the ref did not tell someone to go and help him.

Quite right

Nice bit of time wasting yesterday from the boys to run down the clock. The word must be out on Gazza and his dodgy 80 minute shoe laces as the ref made a point of holding his watch in the air in his direction, then Lallana or Cork went over to the ref for a bit of chat distracting him from his watch. Then Luke Shaw, when he knew he was up for subbing, as Newcastle made their substitution backed himself right over to the Kingsland touchline under the premise of taking a drink from the bottles there then had to slowly trot the width of the pitch to change with Jos.

Mr Mark "sponsored by Clintons" Clattenburg making his refereeing return after the Chelsea debacle nearly ruined the whole of the rest of his life, a nice under the radar game to ease him back in with.

I was about ready to go up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire, but wanted to see Saints on MOTD, blimey after seeing that I was buzzing as much as at the final whistle.

The one good thing the Ref and his assistantants did today with their different view on the game was whip us up into a frenzy which translated to the team which whipped us up into even more of a frenzy our first goal had quite a bit of steam behind it. You do wonder what goes through the officials heads when the crowd starts to get ugly at 50:50 decisions they have just made. The Kingsland lino who gave a corner to the Toon when a quarter of the stadium could see it was our goal kick must have been so thankful he was facing he pitch.

Gazza for me. Some folks on here are on weird narcotics..... Boruc = Gold plated experience. "he was great with Fiorentina last 2 seasons" so how come he is not still there, how come he was a free agent, how come he was kicking his heels training with Everton, how come we were in a one man bidding race for him?

I stand corrected, that's the trouble when you post about stuff from 30 odd years ago through the haze of time and a little alcohol ..........................either way both a pair of strumpets from a similar time that made the eyes of most teenage boys eyes pop out on stalks!!!

Hey that was a banner at the League cup final in 1979 "Steve Williams lays on more balls than Linda Lovelace" (you can see all the youngsters on here scratching there heads: googling Malcolm Allison in the bath in images will explain it). In slight defence of Lallana apart from when Monk planted his foot and really did block him Adam did not go into histrionics in begging for the penalty................ But when you have a ref who awards a free kick when a Swansea player stands on the ball and falls on his Ar$e without a Saints player in feet of him you know you are going to get the sh1tty end of he stick off the ref

Would have liked to see Queen probably around the time of Band Aid. Always thought myself lucky to see Genesis quite a few times and marvel at the stage shows........ But then they ain't up everyones Strasse.
