John Boy Saint

Oh thanks for the reminder 😳

Wow that is impressive, probably just the loan he needs to get game time under his belt. Could save us a few quid in time

Of course I was being serious - you can’t post stuff and nonsense on here - the context devoid police will be all over you like a rash regardless of how many emojis you throw in. 😳 Get with the programmer Grandad! 😀😃😄😁😆😅😂😂🙃😵‍💫🤪

What’s Rudi Skacel doing these days?🤪

Seconded. I don't think even being cast adrift at Chelsea will add any humility to his attitude - big hullaballoo when he went to Chelsea then became a bit part player and hasn't worked out how to get himself into a better position.

Don’t think Broja was ever the solution, yes he had an exciting start with us probably as he was an unknown with blistering pace, but he hit a point in the season when he dried up, some say it coincided with the Abromovic issues. Sitting in the stadium you could see teams had a plan for him, just let him run but keep pushing him out wide and he will more often than not run out of pitch. Which brings in the reason why Ralph went cold on him, he was greedy, having made break drawn defenders towards him, there was space and supporting players ready to receive the ball and more often than not he was selfish and all in it for himself ending up in cul de sac, instead of being a team player and passing for a better chance of a team goal. Ralphs preferred system is all about team work, that where things cooled with Ralph because Borja just kept on doing the same thing for himself. Adam Armstrong this season looks to have been reconfigured taking the pressure off him to score and to be more a provider of assists - there is no doubt he is quick and can play football. Broja Tuesday night, he turned on the jets just after he came on - Salisu ran him out of pitch. I think already with the guys who have come in we look a different prospect, our tempo has been better, once settled we could get goals from most positions instead of relying on one person.

Thats even worse! 🤣🤣😂

🤪Thats what I said 4 centre backs playing 2 in front of the other 2 = 4 🤪 (Emojis are pants on my laptop - to punctuate the point of me silly - better on iPad) 😁😇🔴⚪️🔴⚪️😇

I think our little adventure with him last year, turned out to be a try before you buy. I hope not

Whats the plan ditch the 5 at the back and play 6 at the back now - we are talking about a lot of centre back possibly incoming - I know our defence had more holes in than a sieve seems a bit excessive.......................................................or are we being radical and planning 2 banks of CB's at the back (yes I'm being silly............ but we did have our resident nutter playing at 10 on Saturday). ...sorry @skintsaint I was typing as you posted

Always liked the caption someone put to this - JWP "go on Jack! I'll hold your coat". He's done alright for us, and fair play to himself he has done well for himself, but one thing he is top of the league in, is shithousery. He couldn't give a monkeys how big a name he is winding up. Said it before, League cup final going toe to toe with Ibrahimovic after skirmish in our box, was a highlight of the afternoon. Looked like the conversation was from Jack "If you want a shotat the title lets go for it here and now big man" and Ibrahimovics reaction seemed to be - maybe I should go and play with someone else. The big important question now though is - who is going to be the Chair of the players fines appeals committee, last I heard he never overturned one appeal.

Sad to see him go - but pleased for him as he said he was keen to go when this first came up. A few players will be relieved at not having to face him when playing us. Bona sort Ori Ps - Saints ...If you cant make the pre season Girona game at SMS - make it early July at theirs so I can pop along whilst on holiday down the road .

I was selfishly more interested in them getting the 1 point and not the 3 to hop over us😜

Andre Mariners magic watch let the bigger team keep playing until they score - Pope was only down for a minute at most………stand corrected 1min 25 secs

Man City are right on it and a pleasure to watch.

Especially if you decided to let your bird get on your shoulders for a better view. …………. Being in the vicinity of anyone about to “mount up” you were moving away because you knew a downpour of biblical proportions was coming your way and every drop encased in metal.

Should add the Mascot in the tunnel to the above list. 😁

Roberto Martinez hopped out of a car at the ground last night. Figured he’d come to take a look at young Lavia.

I’d imagine after binning of Puel, Pellegrino, then Hughes - there was not much left in the budget to bin another after Leicester - then the Man Utd one, when you look back at the circumstances with Saints emotion removed we were heading for a tough night before the team coach left Southampton: and in little over a minute the rest is history.

I thought Garth Crooks had been binned off from the BBC or was that just his presence on TV, and allowed to do his team of the week. Having just seen his Team of the Week on the Beeb website prompted the question - His choices were predictable. Thankfully none of the Saints team warranted inclusion having been “hammered” by Utd - so not touted about every club with money to spend as a result.

I was reading bits of this to Mrs JBS this morning and she said all through the second half you couldn’t see the stairways in the United section, nor could you see any stewarding even attempting to clear the steps let alone any steward in their section apart from at the top of the stairs down to the concourse. “surely that’s a bigger threat to the stadium safety certificate” - “that isn’t going to be solved by closing Itchen North”.

Just as an aside - I wonder what action they will be taking with those 2 nippers who decided to run on the pitch from the Kingsland - no doubt triggering the beer soaked loon United fan to have a run about too. They rounded up the Kingsland kids pretty quickly with differently attired stewards, the Dad of one looked like he was about to kick off when they wouldn’t just give the lad back to him. Obviously not aware of this seasons clampdown on pitch incursions and flares. Both Dads and kids were marched towards the naughty boys room under the Northam. They might have got the smoke bomb owner too, as a couple of of folk were also being marched along the front of the Northam towards the tunnel.

So what’s the plan, clear out the “oiks” who whip up the oppos fans and make that section the family stand in yet another misdirected social experiment to quieten a band of boisterous travelling fans, and make them behave better.

Own goal would be nice 😁

As they were saying on the radio driving home - games are going to be coming thick and fast. I’d stick with what we put out today, maybe change out Moi and play Djenepo in front of Perraud. Moussa seems to have clicked.
