Man of the Match: Southampton v Man United
John Boy Saint replied to The Kraken's topic in The Saints
Close call ABK won my vote - Lavia will have a Stellar career. Mrs JBS commented that the new boys in the team, look to be competing against each other in trying to do better than the other newbies. -
Didn’t think we deserved to lose we were so much better the majority of the game - looking at the players we now have on the pitch that result looks like it’s going to smart. As has been said already we just lacked a clinical edge, that could be done to the youthful age of our team, getting too excited when it came to shooting. Few numpties calling out JWP, actually sat in the stadium watching, his game was giving Lavia his head and plugging his gaps letting him grow. Salisu and Kotchup are beginning to gel nicely. They are both nippers in that position and looked tidy. With Lavia at the tip of the triangle can only get better. Baz between the sticks is beginning to bed himself in, the consistency with which he pinged balls out to Che was impressive. Driving to the game some Trout on Radio 5 said we were going down, “sorry”, what I have seen these past few games if we fall through the trapdoor I will be shocked………………..still 34 games left so plenty of time to be Saints.

At the Leeds game the pitch looked ok , then at the Ladies game the weekend after it was notable how scabby it looked, then today back in our usual seats you could see it had gotten a little worse. When fixing grass it always looks worse before improving. Few golf courses locally battling the same virus, but most catching it early, as the greens are treated like new born baby’s plus - they don’t need some of the more sarky members in their ears - grass is a science.

I thought that too - must be cheaper as the red stripe down the middle is thinner 🤪

Funny reading recent comments on here, when my Facebook fired up this morning, I had a memory from 5 years ago of an away day at Huddersfield in amongst the comments was one from a longtime Saints fan, and the conversation was quite heavy on how pants he was that afternoon……….struck me how nothing much has changed.

I was listening to a bit of that on the short drive back from Golf - sounded like a full on game. Me being a bit late back there was no chance of wrestling the remote off Mrs JBS who was well into the cricket.

Maybe the new backroom crew have analysed his performances and told Ralph what he needed to be told - OR Whilst clearing out Kelvin and Daves den, they found those photos in the brown envelope he taped under a desk.

That league cup tie at SMS the year they got promoted has to be the best night under the lights at St Mary’s ever. The place was rocking and the atmosphere was crackling. The tried drowning out the crowd by turning up the PA and totally failed - it’s was loud and toxic in the right way.
-
Good to see Payne and Ballard seizing the opportunity.
-
Come on Diamond join the party
-
Well done nipper.
-
Did Adam just say Cambridge have 4 strikers who scored 10 goals each last season?
-
One nil 😁

Who came on? 🤪

As has been said - Whispering Dave is a hard act to follow - Jo his finding his feet if you’re a regular listener you will probably be use to him once he’s bedded in. He does know some stuff we maybe don’t need to know all of it. on Saturday before Maddison’s goal, he said twice that “I don’t like the look of our wall” and that was from wherever he was sitting up in the stand.

You can’t question TAAs quality, he is one of the 30 nominees for the Ballon d’Or! ……..I nearly redecorated the breakfast table with a generous mist of coffee, when Mrs JBS broke that superb news to me on Saturday morning.
-
But has just been noted they put a lot of effort into the first 40 minutes and are running out of a bit of steam. let’s hope they wear themselves out
-
Tonight should be interesting to see if Ten Hag has managed to bang all their heads together or fragmented a team of what looks like a collection of very expensive individuals with their own agendas even more.
-
That is sad news to put a cloud on the weekend. 😢 One of those players you could rely on. 67 is no age these day - RIP Sir.

You pair must stand for 5 minutes in awe each time you turn a light on in your house Should have just stuck to Liverpool and pointed to their bulging trophy cabinet filled by Shankly and his successors Paisley and Fagin who both stepped up from coaching roles within the club to keep the success story going.

Blimey Leeds v Chelsea has become interesting - absolute howler from Mendy to get the ball rolling
-
You are totally missing the point of my response to .the comment that was made anyway let just see how this evolves + if it does

It’s not common knowledge that if you are typing on an iPad if you hold the letter requiring the accent for a second the most popular options appear ……….carry on.
