You’re not wrong there - enjoyed that.

When we got evicted from our block in the Chapel for the expansion of Kiddies corner - we left our mate to decide where we going to sit from then on. A few games in, we had been ribbing our mate for such a crap choice of seats, it was pissing down and had been for hours, then all of our eyes were caught by something? Back to watching the game few minutes later it happened again, then it was half an eye on the game - then splat! Chap 5 rows in front of us was catching a sizeable drip right on his shoulder - and looking annoyed. Bob pipes up “that was the other row I was offered when I booked our 4 seats” you chose well was the unanimous reply……………the drip is still there 8(?) years on. At the Leeds game sat on the back row - looking at the “ceiling” there were more cobwebs that a haunted house……….but someone had been and given the seats a wipe or hose down, normally first game back you can write your name in the dust.

No surprise at all - a late friend was very good friends with him when he was at Coventry. He said football was just a job to him, he had no interest in it’, they would go out and there would be no football talk “Paul had clocked”.

This is a game in isolation Ingerland could have been on a 1000 game imperious winning streak - and Scotland would be the fly in the ointment.

Matty didn’t go because Glenda couldn’t live with the fact that Matt had more sublime skill than he could even comprehend being in possession of. That Tranmere game if he had not a jot of green eye and put MLT on at half time, second half would have being a breeze as the whole Tranmere squad would played more concerned at accidentally giving a milligram of a chance to Matty.

.......even Jack Stephens is better alternative.

Just as an aside, I thought it was noticeable that the Portuguese referee was not buying Jack Grealishs falling over at the merest waft of air from an opposition player being in his vicinity - like what happens in the Premier League every week and the ref leaves the pitch from a Villa game with a pocket full of receipts. Be funny if the international referees committee have found him out.

Betting tips............on how not to get caught.

Summed up by Henderson still being crocked along with Slab Head also crocked and picked.............hey ho money talks and getting the tin-tak as a manager is a pretty lucrative even if it is only 18 months ish of £3m pa. Feel sorry for JWP, as he is a man for many positions, and as we have seen has a bloody good engine.

........and a team conditioned with 120 minutes of playing in the tank. The last 10 minutes under Strachan were invariably the best 10 minutes of the game especially if we were in search of a result.

Pretty certain that was under Strachan and it was a Monday night game - Strachan had taken the team to Rod Stewarts house just up the road as WGS and him are mates, Rod has a full size footie pitch in the garden so a nice relaxing warm up/stretch then a short trip down the road to West Ham. Good job they were "just round the corner" as the traffic was horrendous and the team were eventually at the ground less than an hour before kick off - certain Beattie stuck the ball in the net in the last knockings of the game. Might even been the line "late to the ground and late to take all 3 points". It could be the wrong one nil away I'm thinking of

Everything on Sky - no doubt scattered about the place

If you saw the interview with Ralph when Redmond signed his new contract, got the impression Ralph is a bit scared of Nathan’s Mum 😳🤪

Last 10 minutes were entertaining - as has been said our ladies have only played in the cup and Birmingham are WSL playing every week and it showed. Fair play, getting one back put a bit of Petrol in the ladies tank. At 3 nil Birmingham subbed their keeper, almost a tad disrespectful nearly backfired as she was certainly a bit flappy. Brum certainly were rocking when we got it to 3-2. Lets hope they get a fair crack next season because they are miles better than the league they are in.

Without a doubt ain’t the sharpest pencil in the box never has been, papers over the cracks with the odd assist, but you watch just about every other player on the pitch and he’s a friggin passenger 99% of the time by comparison.

WooHoo I got a double last night - Saints Won! And I won a tenner on the Saints Foundation Super Draw! 😎

Hope the Ref got a receipt for that non foul

The probably wanted to check that a Saints keeper really did dive left for the first time this season.

The gift that keeps on fucking giving!

For all of those who can't print their ticket Click this link to the official site and scroll down towards the bottom and there is a video to tell you everything you need to know if you are successful in getting a ticket. They may drive us up the wall in the Ticket Office sometimes, but I thought that this was rather concise and pretty much idiot proof. https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/2021-05-10/southampton-fc-return-to-st-marys-leeds-united-tickets-on-sale

We're higher than you NN!! haven't sat that far back for years..............still its miles closer to the pitch than you can get at West Ham .

yup

Glad I am not alone in this both on the phone and the web - get as far as my account page and thats it - had the email Friday to say today was the day.

Just got to hope that his keeping possession of the ball is worked on in the summer.

I’ll have 2 bags of what you’re smoking
