John Boy Saint

And the Ricoh - MK Arena ..... Coming in from the North of the county its proximity to the M27 did have some convenience appeal, even the option to easily catch the train to Southampton Parkway held some booze minded appeal, but if the retail pleasure dome had come to fruition (which was the last straw) , the car park would have been 2hrs limit only, and all us oiks would have been "marauding through the gardens" of Stoneham Lane and Channels Farm Road - 20 years on being in the City does bizarrely offer up much more accessibility than Stoneham would have now - especially given the volume of houses being thrown up round there.

That is a tad thin................he nearly buggered the whole lot up dicking around with Stoneham and stuff, everything was going down toilet until Southampton City Council galloped in to save the day with the St Marys site which was a bit messy for them to develop and not looking to be sold any time soon back then.

Seems to be a Zimbabwean thing, we have relatives in South Africa and a large number of folk from Zimbabwe come over the border for work and these names are pretty much their badge of origin. Stayed in a Lodge in the Karoo en route to Cape Town, as we pulled up to the Lodge a smartly dressed chap greeted us " Hello I'm Brilliant - Welcome", not much pressure on him from his Mum and Dad, but he certainly lived up to his name.

Felt the same - after the teams were announced the initial thought was hmmmm. At the final whistle there was a feeling of blimey! Great performance. What was noticeable - we kept on going, we were in Chelsea’s faces and they didn’t like it. “Oh but it was a Chelsea second string team” - what were we? We also kept moving, there was very little pondering on the ball, when we lost it and it bounced into space, we were very quickly to it first. Ralph was posed a few interesting questions last night, let’s hope he does have the wherewithal to answer them.

Oops

Albatross to the rescue

Could have put your fucking house on that - piss poor!

That is Bollocks - no consistency from Friend

That was close

Diallo was playing with fire with a couple of challenges

Long and offside will be stamped on his headstone

Bloody Mount and Chilwell The tale of 2 substitutions

Wtf holding out for pens then jeez

Blimey that was a throw from Salisu

My stream has frozen -taters still going though

Where’s the booking for that Friend FFS

Needs to give Redmond a lesson in the position

Up your pipe

Close - Kevin Friend: the next one off the rank.

Mrs JBS who is not a trawler of the Internet - but paid attention to the message with her Season Ticket about the screens and commented on the date when they hadn’t changed. Memory like an Elephant trust me Just don’t tell her I said that 😳

2021 Blame culture..... Its BoJos fault....... not the company he works for shovelling fuel onto the fire on a hourly basis, and then getting singed by the flames with the spade in his hands.

Hmmmm you would imagine that given the outlay, someone would have done the prep maths............... "B*****ks to paying that" is more likely, when the $19,000 per shipping container cost was presented.

Depends on your definition of local - but the Pies and Sausage Rolls are made just along the A27 in Worthing. 45 miles as the Crow flies.

That just made me think of the Jimmy Tarbuck gag in the programme before we beat Liverpool donkeys years ago 3-2 (great game) - Lawrie Mac chatting to Bob Paisley whilst walking down the Solent, asking how he can get Saints to play more like Liverpool, Bob says dustbins, we put dustbins out on the training pitch and the lads practise round them: works a treat. Couple of weeks later Bob asks, how did you get on with the dustbins Lawrie? - Not so well Bob, dustbins won 3-1!

Do Weymouth Saints still exist? - seem to recall seeing a coach parked uP on Britannia road once upon a time. Might be worth looking them up - if they could fill a coach might be a someone down there up for the trip to the mysterious east.
