John Boy Saint

Might have said it before (but can’t be bothered to look it up) Perraud is one of Lawrie Mac’s “roadsweepers” no fancy Dan stuff just a workhorse with a good paced engine to get up and down the line, when he gets to the goal line you know he is looking whip the ball over into the mixer. I like him and it does add more fuel to the fire for giving KWP and Tino a spin up the right, that would likely make our right side a nightmare for the oppos. To my mind the left back position wouldn’t be weakened with Perraud.

Must have taken Taylor ages to get his receipts for everything he bought in Southampton yesterday in order

Overriding thought walking out of the ground - it was great to see some fight at last.

Much rather him play and be more potent against Newcastle, than him being nullified and possibly wound up by a bunch of players many of whom have known him for years and more likely to apply the dark arts to gain an advantage.

Maybe Perraud will get a spin out to protect KWP if he is on the tightrope. Anthony Taylor’s on the whistle. And he can be a funny bugger in the middle - Martin Atkinson will be sat in the back of the Transit van in the north car park watching the TVs getting in Taylor’s ear

Still had our pants down at £10m - and still looked like he is made on Emmental yesterday for Norwich.

Man City truly had our pants down for £15m there, watching yesterday he seems to made out of Swiss Cheese

Glad the missus brought a slice of Christmas cake with 10 to go - the sugar rush from the icing probably kept me going………..then again it might have been the brandy I’ve injecting into it over the past few weeks. Thought Salisu was pretty good

Jeez he walloped that

Arse

What an almost expensive brainfart

If you get a chance check out the Boro opener v Forest an absolute head in hands own goal howler 😂

Lots of empty seats in the Taxpayer Arena!

Wow that was deceptive

You missed off Southgate and England winning Team and Manager of the year at SPOTY - and the three of them stood on the stage looking like "how the chuff are we here - we failed - everyone else won".

WooHoo! My Season Ticket box has arrived just on time for Christmas!!! OH!………….boy! -we certainly know how to piddle away the pennies!

Surprised they can stand up - their feet are so full of bullet holes!

Now we are officially working from home and the work Christmas meal has been binned that day - I might just tune in get shitfaced to numb the pain…………..I’ve always been glass half full with Saints but like a McDonalds Big Mac my glass is resembling a thimble.

Just watched the highlights - we need to get promoted before we loose Milly Mott - she is different gravy. Probably just slot in a treat at Palace on Wednesday

When I got my booster last week - I was told that despite having 2 lots of AZ previously, I would be having Moderna this time mostly because the science thinks a bit of mixing boosts the system. But then they said that AZ was in shorter supply because most of it is being sent abroad due to it being the most transportable as it doesn't need to be kept super cold like Pfizer.

We won’t see him until New Years Day - “as he will need to be conditioned into the way we play”.

Nope - I’ve checked back through my emails and bizarrely I wasn’t asked to register for gift aid when I bought our season tickets!! If that’s true about McCarthy keeping quiet that’s out of order - the fact Lyanco took a goal kick must have had the players aware of an issue and once Trossard injured himself, they should have managed that game out easily, but no let’s believe we are the Harlem Globe Trotters and faff about. Absolute brain fart of a ball from JWP to hang Romeo out to dry. But even after the whistle the fart was still rattling round JWPs head when that fan run on the pitch and asked him for his shirt and he f**king gave it to him - now we are going to have loads of little rats chancing their arm at full time. Is it too much to wish for walking out of St Mary’s with a spring in our step wearing a silly grin - as opposed to tonight still being able to hear Brighton fans singing the 1 nil and…………..up! As you approach Northam Bridge! ah well hopefully McCarthys actions means that Harry Lewis is dynamite between the sticks and is a threat to him. Hey Ho - let’s get pissed 😁

Just as a little intermission on the thread. This colour touched image from Highbury in 1936 turned up on my Facebook this evening - and thought it rude not share.

The downside of that is the club gets a hefty fine from the FA ...........................which results in the long awaited Monkey Petting Zoo kicked even further into the long grass!

Given how long things were going on over in the Kingsland and, viewed from a distance, the strategy being planned to get the unfortunate person from their position down all the steps - I wondered if they might have taken a tumble and sustained a serious neck injury, which requires possibly even more intensive attention than a coronary issue.
