John Boy Saint

Best get your prescription checked - everyone could see it was Jermaine Wright

Did they find him on the training ground just going round and round in circles?! 😉

Blimey looking at all the memories of Frank posted on here - that’s 2 boyhood footie stars gone in a week. Frank and Thunder-boots Peter Lorimer. We are getting old chaps!😢

Funnily enough my first memory of him was coming to collect the ball for a corner whilst he was playing for Bolton (A young Sam Allardyce also playing). First home game after promotion in 1978, Ivan Golacs debut. I’m right at the front of the Milton Road end up he trots to pick up the ball, my first thought wasn’t Wow Frank Worthington! But jeez what a stink, it was like he bathed in liniment for hours every night rather that a quick rub over before the game (latterly -how he pulled the birds he did with that industrial scent - as it certainly wasn’t Brut). One of Footballs great characters from the days of proper footballers. RIP Frank

Looked like he’d put his feet on the wrong legs when he got up this morning looking at his first few touches - can’t be easy coming on late repeatedly. I’d have thought there is a danger of trying too hard in an effort to get more pitch time.

Yahoo - he’s found his level 🤪 Must have been reading the dogs abuse on here

Motor racing is having a tough week. After losing Muddily Talker, another popular motoring TV personality has sadly passed away. Sabine Schmitz more commonly known from Top Gear for reducing the male presenters to mere gibbering wrecks with her driving has lost her fight with Cancer. Very dangerous ground making Women driver jokes in her vicinity, that girl could drive! RIP https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/motorsport/56420308

Well if we are going down that route we might get an internal promotion Marieanne Spacey-Cale, seems to have had our ladies team smashing just about every team they have had put in front of them. If it wasn’t for Covid shutting down the lower divisions of women’s football for the last 2 seasons, our ladies team would have been getting closer and closer to the WSL.

Think the lackadaisical, laissez faire attitude of the team was summed up as the minutes were vanishing - ball trundles back to their keeper who just stands there, we just stood there too, then someone must have said to Che “bloody go and make him pick it up”. I haven’t felt so “meh” at a Saints game for ages! I they don’t buck their ideas up, Bournemouth with a weekend off getting back to the big time will likely give us a right runaround.

Hey you forgot “A Mars a day helps you work rest and play”! Without a doubt a legend of the highest order. Rest in Peace - Murray 😢

No point giving Brighton too many minutes of tape to suss out how to stop Tella. Jack Stephen’s the interesting one I guess alongside JWP but rather than James dropping back between Bednarek and Vestergaard as he does in game Stephen’s will be doing that - someone said the other week that allegedly Stephen’s was training in midfield. Salisu might be too left footed to play on the right, whereas Bertie is experienced enough to do the job over there. Dont think many of us are holding their breath for a win (Sky chat has getting smashed into next week) but as Greavsie always said “it’s a funny old game - Saint”.

Seems this Andrew Sparkes has had a positive influence on Fraser for one his kicking out has been much improved. The other thing with Fraser, the bloke is a unit with an Albatross like wingspan so anyone looking to shoot at our goal has to think a little more about putting it out of his reach which you hope gives the defenders that little bit more of a window to snuff out the chance. McGoldrick looked to chip him yesterday without shooting over, Fraser just stood there and picked the ball out of the air.

Watched a couple of Watford games - bit flash in the pan, not jumping out as HCDAJFU by any stretch of the imagination - the fact he is still there despite the Oooo's and Ahhhh's when he turned up for them says much about what folk in the game think of him, 2 windows gone and he is still there. £30m they paid for him

When Redmond signed his contract extension, Nathan obviously brought his Mum along (His Mum who he lives in fear of "I have no tattoos because my Mum would give me a thick ear" or words to that effect). As Ralph mentioned in the associated interview following the signing that he had met Redders Mum at the same time, "I quite like her" - maybe she told him "my boy won't be signing anything unless you can guarantee he will be on the starting team sheet if he is fit" followed by a stern menacing stare. ☺️

Aside from my mate shouting “run Forest run” whenever he set off in pursuit of the ball. Went to an evening locally put on by the local Saints Supporters club - they had roped in some guys from Saints to give a talk. One of the guys (can’t for the life of me think of his name) was head of the academy at the time, quite highly thought of having overseen some bright talent that have gone on to make a decent career in football coming through to the first team. Not long after the talk this guy got lured into a similar role with the FA overseeing the England youth set up. On this evening the one young player he really talked very highly of was McGoldrick - who was “destined for the very top of the game”. We all know he became part of the grand young player sale to pay the bills when we were heading towards serious strife. After the move to Forest he seeming just disappeared into the wallpaper of football, until he notably popped back into the semi limelight with Sheffield United. I often wondered if as a nipper having had so much sunshine blown up his backside he thought he had made it before he had even started with us, so didn’t need to put more effort in - then the sudden move away from the cosseted life of a Saints academy player, he just found himself with the tiller in his hand but his rudder on the end of it was snapped in half, and many years later navigated his way to the port of the Premier League. Did we let him go too early - no. The money we got was useful and his career since leaving hasn’t lived up to the top billing he was given as a nipper.

Brief intermission chaps Fish boy Mount just put Chelsea in front

"One Swallow doesn't make a Summer", springs to mind at that.

Sheffield United must be licking their lips at this game, a scrumptious 3 points on the table, sneak a spawny goal and pack the final 1/3 with all 10 outfield players watching us pat the ball back and forth. I can’t believe I just wrote that...........but I have watched some shite dished up by Saints over the years but at the moment even the huffing and puffing from us is half arsed.

Oh in training he’s Fucking dynamite, but then if Ralph has told them to watch the training contacts due to injuries, he’s going to look the dogs doo-daas with none of his team mate vaguely easin* him off the ball - job done first pick on the team sheet. 🙄

Because he wimps out of every effin challenge!

How the hell is Armstrong getting a yellow when Digne gets chuff all for what has been a red in the past this season

Mrs JBS is getting increasingly pissed off with the tater on Sky - “he’s more depressing than reading some of the wrist slitters on SaintsWeb!”.

Given the choice of the 2 I'm with you - Ramsdale just seems a bit "err I'd better dive in that general direction in the hope i get lucky".

Play bloody Ramsey at right back Jan is too slow

If Tella had Rashford or Salah on his back - penalty 38 games of the season 🙃
