John Boy Saint

Can't see him being a willing passenger on the bus meeself.

Crock............... only use would be slicing the half time oranges!

A few Dutch friends on holiday felt it was a bit of coup us getting him. They said there was a big feature on him on Dutch TV partly because Ajax were looking at him, but Ajax were not certain about taking him as despite him being very fast and technical, having the lungs of a horse allowing him to defend then attack and vice versa very quickly, simply because he was not greedy enough in front of goal: but looking to see who was in a better scoring position to score from. From the brief glimpses of him so far the reports are not too wide of the mark.

Nooo! We give them a sniff, let them open themselves up, and we punish them for falling into our trap by scoring a few more goals.

That is so the winner!! I haven't laughed so much at a caption competion entry for ages.................... Priceless!

That goal from Conolly was a real Magicians slight of hand: how the chuff did he get the ball through that gap!!?? Anyone else think it's a bit shoite highlighting the promotion and relegation places on the tables 2 matches in, yes it looks nice to Saints position highlighted, but most of us know where we have to be on the last day of the season.

Sorry had an Anorak moment this morning.....................................................

Pigs are fed............................

Symmetry to the Dans has returned, they must have been in a cold sweat when N'guessan left at the end of the season. Now Mr Fox is here alls well, I wonder if we will see all 4 on the pitch at the same time this season

Ages ago went to the Newcastle game at the last minute with a spare ticket, I only knew one of the four other lads. When Paul Telfer scored to seal the game at 3-1 the lad next to me, who had not said much in the way of conversation, was going wild threw his arms round me and with water in his eyes declared "I have never actually seen Saints win when I have been at the game!".

This question came up at a drunken neighbours Bar B Q, I jokingly said on the massive trampoline in their garden while they were out, a couple of others came up with a few stunners round town. Then this slightly vacuous woman blurts out "Up the Bum!!".

The way Cotterill keeps on bleating about the size of his squad every bloody week on Solent, I wouldn't be surprised if sometime soon the tickets to get into Notarf Krap have the added line: Bring your boots you might get a game!! That must have smarted for the bulk of them to watch their side go out to a team who flirted with a trip to the Blue Square Premiership for the bulk of last season.

Don't need rotten apples in the barrel. As has been said above, its no good having a player who has decided that he no longer wants to be with us souring the moral of the squad. The only trouble is anyone we are pursuing in the transfer market has just had his value re appraised by the selling club.

There use to be a chap sat in a Coracle on the river Severn out the back of the old Gay Meadow, Shrewsbury. Should a ball be launched over the stand during a match he would row after it to retrieve it, it was the same chap for years!!

The Ref did give the "come on goalie speed it up" hand motion (similar to the moving ball) to KD twice in the 1st half.

Licence to waste time when needed, without any shadow of a doubt. The likes of Reading and Brighton manipulating the system and putting on youngsters to carry out their directive in the face of a foaming at the mouth effing & jeffing opposing player is also a little bit unscrupulous. Probably also a factor when the decision was made to abolish multi ball.

I thought I would pitch one for you instead

Unfortunately just like all the stewards and coppers I was watching Saints giving Leeds the run around, unlike the coppers and Stewards I spotted this rotund chap out of the corner of my eye and was so amazed that he had the time to walk the Yorkshire Dales twice and maintain his expensively honed torso by drinking 8 pints in every Pub along said route that I was too stunned to extract my Nikon fitted with a 800mm mirror lens from my pocket to snap off a couple of rolls. Anyway I thought Asking for a photo was " Rule 4" or is it different on this channel??

Not seen it anywhere else: Did anyone see that Portly Yorkshire Gent walking his Whippet out of the Leeds fans through the line of stewards into the empty seats in the Itchen to have a friendly chat with the Saints fans on the other side of the netting North - South divide. It was amazing how long it took for anyone to go and sort him out!

Guys behind us in the Chapel when the ref awarded the penalty were going mad, we thought for a moment they were Leeds fans, then said "please Kelvin don't save this one!,". Then quickly followed up "we have got money on 3-1!!!". Quite amusing.

Send him where? First game of the season against a not so shabby Leeds squad & he played well, one slighty dodgy moment first half & a penalty that Leeds were going get off the ref if they threw themselves at the floor enough. On the flip side there was a moment in the second half where Jaidhi would have been skinned but Aaron kept with the Leeds player wiping out his options. Nigel chose him in the first squad of the season so just trust his judgement, and stop all this loaning out and he needs more experience cobblers

A big customer phoned me with a big order mid hold this morning, so tried again 12:15 , 26minutes later deal done. For those of you giggling at us fools, I am over the wall this afternoon to where I don't want to be calling an 0800 number from, when the lady on the phone was chatting as screens loaded she said that the majority of calls were from folks who knew exactly where they wanted to sit. So the big rush is obviously folks wanting to be with mates, and folks like me with one day to buy.

For a bloke we coughed up a few bob on, he must have really piddled da Management off with his attitude.

Hooray I have found at least one of the numpties who sometimes sit behind me spouting complete and utter cobblers about Saints and their players............. And then whilst discussing good old Archie Beadle ( you know him who went out with Flossie Arbothnot at school way back when) and his Bunions, misses half the action on the pitch!!!!!!!! Just the Bristol Rovers goal........ that was it????!!!!!!! I rest my case.

Errrr, that being the case you would not have to build new houses as your policy on Golfers would reduce the population significantly.
