John Boy Saint

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

Too much fucking about in the wrong part of the pitch 2-0 very flattering

Redmond is sleeping with Ralph

Come on Saints, quick fire couple of goals just to shut up Fuckwit Carragher

Aside from leaving the Badge alone - there is nowt wrong with it. It’s great to see above the first cast members of this years Panto at the Mayflower, CB and MLG are busy practising their parts 😜

As was said in commentary when Fofana took his moment to feed - whilst drinking the bottle of Orange whatever "That certainly isn't touching the sides"

Exactly! Anyone who was at the away game at Wolves where he spent a third of the second half changing his boots, leaving us down to 10, and is still holding a candle for the guy: they really have been fooling themselves about themselves for years!!

I think if we had held out for the 1-1 Coleman would have given Salisu man of the match, going by the amount of deserved sunshine he was blowing up his chuff.

The whole shit-show is summed up in the letting in of the penalty - I’m a fat lad sat watching in north Hampshire and knew which way McCarthy was going to dive for that penalty 3 weeks ago. Every penalty taker in this league knows that both our keepers default setting is to dive right. Just like the discipline of just about every defence in the league is drilled hard not to foul any of our players just outside the box. We are being read like a book -and looking at all the squads at Southampton (Ladies excluded) seems this fabled play book isn’t proving to be a best seller. Since Koeman left it really has been a steaming pile - the way we fade is pretty shabby Poch had the team playing for 90+ plus minutes - Jack Cork said that you needed 2 hearts to survive his training sessions. Turn back the clock to Strachan before he got into them the atmosphere in the ground changed at 80 minutes as we held onto a lead (often failing) - once WGS had his way the last 10 mins were often the best as he had them conditioned for 120 minutes. You can’t say “oh the game has moved on since then” Just about every other team is pushing us in the latter stages of the game and we are blowing out of ours arses, the disallowed goal, once again KWP is exposed because Armstrong is spent to make the covering run. I have been a glass half full Saints fan for many years - but my glass is beginning to look a bit empty. Hey-ho a weekend off.
