John Boy Saint

Probably what was hinted at in the Programme on Saturday and unlike Leeds trumpeting the arrival of Lee Barnard to them from Southend in the Jan window in their programme, rather than show un Swiss inefficient naivety the club decided to pull the programme to save face.

All very Swiss keeping all the cards close to their chests, send out info on a need to know basis and sending out the barest minimum. I would imagine that if it was a done deal it would have been out by now. However with all the players having been given their training packages for the summer break, with Rickie adding if it ain't done they will be found out, if AP knew he was destined for the door would he have even bothered to have set this regime in place. We live in a football world where sackings and dismissals have become a spectator sport driven by the media so a none story from back in the very early spring seems to have been through the recycler marked "Chinese Whispers additions". It would be nice to get a statement from the Football Club, but I think we will be waiting quite a while.

How many people saw the Season Montage on the big screens before the game, I thought it was quite good and well made. Quite a few round me were gobshoiting and not watching, those who were thought it was good too.

Woy was wobbed!!

Is all this if's, but's, and maybe's as a result of the soap opera that we have endured over recent seasons compounding the conspiracy theories. In addition to this being a privately owned club with no need to report to the city, and being Swiss owned where all business dealings are kept notoriously private out of habit just making everything seem worse than it possibly is as very little does leak out, and anything that does is suppressed swiftly with a degree cold preciseness

I always inspect mine and my Granny's brick on the wall of the Chapel.

A slight aside: I saw the Des Kelly on Saturday column yesterday (I know the scourge daily snail!!) There was a bit in there about a pitch invader at a Baseball game in the states, the crowd were getting increasingly in upset that the intruder was eluding the stewards, until an "obese Policeman" pulled his gun and Tasered the pitch invader. As Kelly went on to say: "These people have a choice. They can decide to stay precisely where they are meant to be, off the field of play and in the grandstands. Or they can run onto the field and play a game of 'Shock the Monkey'. I bet a fair few in the ground would like to watch that, and a few nutters would quite happily oblige to take a 12,000 volt jolt just for our entertainment!!

You were not alone, I did then realised what I was doing became concious of the fact then noticed lots of folks around me doing the same.

No JPT probably as a result of a possible pitch incursion while it was in progress. What ****ed me off was the purpose of the lap was a thank you for us to the players and vice versa, yet the monkeys in the PA room decide to play ****e tunes that no one sings to and then when the fans start singing they turn the frigging volume up!! Its about time they opened the window and took more notice of what the fans are doing and responding accordingly.

Jeez! have you never heard of irony or even sarcasm? (which was the less than retarded response from the Northam to the repeated messages; just in case you still don't get it!). The retards are the ones who could not control themselves and earned a season ban in the process.

From the Chapel it looked like that Mousa (?) goal was a absolute stunner with Kelvin well beaten, on the telly it looked like Kelvin got his finger tips to it.

Why? are you about to emigrate?

I thought a few weeks ago Scudamore speaking for the FA Premiership more or less said that the product that is the Premiership would not be thrown into chaos by a team like p*mpey and the financial pickle they find themselves in. Which I took to read as ~ we will back a team in trouble to complete a full fixture list. Come Sunday afternoon the Premier league will slice the mooring ropes put some loose change in their pockets and pull the plug out of the bottom of the boat and give them a hefty shove towards the Football League, then go home safe in knowledge that the product will be un sullied once more. As our skate mates drift into the FL waters just think of the opening of the theme tune to Jaws.................................

People have had since 7am this morning, if you allowed people to carry on voting past midnight there is a danger that it would set a precedent that could influence future elections by less scrupulous candidates; Mandleson just had a little thought in that direction on the beeb.

Great assist too, sending him on his way.

Having been to a few training sessions at Staplewood out on the pitch I was amazed that match training only seemed to last 80 minutes, about the same time on the clock on matchdays when we seemed to run out of puff; dragging defeat from the teeth of victory. The bloke also talked alot of cobblers about the players fitness he said after humiliation at Hull (I think) "don't talk to me about player fitness, these boys are super fit athletes" we could all see that the team had a shadow of the fitness they had under WGS. This season he has been riding his luck at Spurs.

That is certainly the funniest, when it had been deciphered at the opposite end of the ground in the Chapel everyone was giggling. OWTS sung slowly on one occasion when everyone got it right and there seemed to be none of the usual time lag through the stands, it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up; people around us looked at each other and just said "Wow!"

Twelve months ago today if someone had said that what we have ended up with this season I would have happily accepted it.

Superb for Fulham and their fans, they live in the shadows of the Bigger boys in London and they get a day in the sunshine! Even Chris Baird!

Thank god that little sod Hislop can't use this for the cover of his poisonous little comic.

They are as deluded as the folks who have been in charge of the money down at Nottarf Krap "He will have to take a cut in wages"(breaks your heart) shame for our fish fiddling chums that someone in charge didn't come up with that bright idea

Was he the one who was up on an indecency charge at a WHU for getting his old chap out while standing on the bar at a Christmas function? Or was that a different WHU player.

See the club are thinking of you all the time

Hope they keep the same Pasty supplier:D

I sat half way through the first half and thought how nice it is to see my team play such nice football throughout the team. I also thought that AP had picked an agressive starting line up. I thought Seabourne has become increasingly controlled in his play especially alongside such a fantastic partner like Fonte. Harding always puts in a solid performance, Mrs John Boy who has not been to few games due to work had him down for her man of the match simply because of the non stop work he was doing. Lallana winkling of the ball off the Carlisle player in the second half on the Itchen by-line was sublime. Papa always puts a smile on my face, he has a great touch fantastic vision and a deceptive play of the ball, his Maizy run ending up with a back pass to Kelvin had those around me tearing their hair out I just laughed at the audacious bizarreness of it: it was like a brief demo of his ability. Antonio has some rough edges but boy is there a Diamond in there, his first from where I was sat in the Chapel just looked like he stamped stop this bugger on the ball: damn good job it went in because if it had hit someone in the crowd it would have put someone in hospital! His second by comparison was such a sweet cute goal. When you look at the mercenary loan players we have had in recent season it is so nice to see Papa and Antonio playing and reacting like they are "full fat" Saints. Chant of the day "What the F's that on your head" to the Fellini lookalike, I thought the ref was good today, only mistake he made was giving a free kick and not a penalty, but the flip side of that was we got to see a superbly taken freekick from Harte. Well the dream ended today but what a great season we have seen, at times the football has been absolutely fantastic. A trip to Wembley complete with a trophy: had someone offered us that this time last year we would have taken both arms off him! As Antonio said on Solent "we are (if he assumes we will win the next 2) the first team to win 24 games and not be promoted!!". Nice Ice Cream off the van outside the Megastore after the game too! :-)
