Rio Ferdinand saying himself that the Ref was generous to Man U in his decisions. Ref the same clown who even bought a 5p carrier bag to pop the penalty dive Son sold him in the FA Cup to knock us out last season.

Cheers .........saved me looking it up..........should have been more.

Phil Boyer

Edited mine too! no harm done

Applemakeyoulookatit auto correct strikes again

Taters questioning why matey is getting so worked up at Mike Dean after the goal was chalked off - Dean was indicating handball and pointing to his shirt sleeve - Like me I thought T shirt sleeve contact was no longer deemed hand ball.

Well that just got harder

When are refs going to wise up to the fact that Grealish is mugging them off, the guy might get caught now and again, but 90% of the time he is a feigning toad. This afternoon he was already falling forwards before Lamptey actually made, if any, contact with him.

Wasn't there something a while ago that he was in with that workshy bugger Lemina and his brother - Lemina had an "injury" and yet was out on the town in Bournemouth with young Micheal in tow........ work hard on full pay...........or you could also doss about with zero effort on full pay. That is where player contracts are very poor, all of us working folk know that if you cock about swinging the lead you will be found out and ultimately handed your P45, these guys can do pretty much whatever they like without sanction, unless they do something really bloody stupid to possibly have their contract terminated. Its a real shame because by the time these guys are 19/20 if they are in the first team they have done all the hard work.

I saw that yesterday too - that must have taken quite some time to work out.

Just asking for a friend........ Do you know if my friend could substitute Honey with Lemon Curd or Golden Syrup? as sadly Honey brings me out in a terrible rash. Many thanks in advance

SECONDED!! It ain't broke so doesn't need fixing This bit at the very bottom where the author of the piece is blowing sunshine up his own Jacksy "Shadab Wajih is an award-winning art director, graphic designer and an illustrator based in Miami, US." I think when Nolan maligns our perfectly good club crest with the comment about it being the winner of a kids colouring competition - looking at his abortion of an attempt to "modernise" our badge, I think the only award Shadab has won is a kids colouring competition. See you all here again in 2023 I guess.

Quite surprising they haven't picked up the phone to Chris Smalling as he is playing regularly for AS Roma in Serie A (my tongue is firmly in my cheek by the way). I find it quite weird that for the first time probably since I started paying attention to watching footie, with England losing out on going to the 1974 World Cup, these last few games I have had very little desire to sit down and watch them. Southgate just seems to have slipped into the England manager default setting of "who is normally top of the league, who is English in that team - oh are they a name folk will recgnise".

As an aside Turkish I always thought that "I'm the Sheriff round here!" programme cover on your Avatar was superb, then we sold Oxo to Arsenal for a handsome price on the following Thursday I thought "was that cover a prelude statement?". Then subsequently learning some of luggage that surrounded the deal and negotiations - that programme cover pose remained in my head. Bertie is a great bit of experience to have in the team - he deffo wanted out under Puel, MoPe, and Hughes as the he hated playing their less than dynamic style of football - I heard from someone who was around the "inner circle" that if someone had come in for him, Saints were not going to stand in his way, it was also let slip that his stick never far from giving the muddy puddle a little stir. Under Ralph there is no doubt that he is a much happier bunny.

Thank goodness there were alternatives on TV - Masters Golf - Strictly vote off - Gino on Family Fortunes - I’m a celebrity 🤪😜😂😳😎

That just made me think of when I was nipper and up at my Granny’s in Lancashire, there was a very nice old chap who lived over the road always waved hello. One day he came into Granny’s house to ask my Dad about something. When he left I asked my Dad “why was that man shaking”. He told me it was shell shock and he came back from the 1st World War with it - why doesn’t Grandad have it from the War he was in - my Dad said it was a different war, he tried to explain, but it wasn’t until a few years later when my Grandad who went though the Second World War explained what the soldiers in the firsts went through. Whenever folk talk about the First World War and shell shock I always think of the nice old chap over the road from Granny who carried the scars for the last 70 years of his life.

😂Ladies and Genitalmen it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you............ straight from his family home in the most delightful town of Pedantry - I give you Mr Ottawa Saint!! 😜🤪😁😎

Odds on to be Chairman of the FA - So maybe that will be the end of his clap trap.

Ahem!..........................................after how many go's??!!! ;-)

"The Premier League is the only major competition in Europe to return to three subs." Well if you are going to present yourself as the best and hardest league in the world - you have to have a bit of a daring edge to sell. ☺️ My tongue was rammed hard into my cheek as I typed that.

Just a bit of fun to while away the hours before our game v Wolves. The BBC Sport website marked our little adventure to the top of the Premier League by posting one of their quizzes against the clock - Name the other 28 teams who have been top of the Premier League at some point within the 6 minute time limit. As usual when I have posted one of these, do it yourself without t'internet, AND DON'T POST THE ONES YOU FAILED TO GET IF YOU CHOSE YOU POST YOUR SCORE................for the hard of hearing, don't post "Arrrrrgh 18/28 - bloody missed Accrington Stanley and Mansfield Town etc". It only spoils it for the folk who see this later. I got 24 out of 28 before the time was up. Good luck https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54849417

I know I can be as guilty as the next Saints fan for unashamedly wearing red and white spectacles - nothing there made me get anywhere near a smile. Retirement home squad, and you ain't got the credentials to even dream of a place in Europe but stare in longingly - thought it was a pretty spitefully written piece (you would think he was a p*rtsm*outh season ticket holder) - as for the Rabbit Hutch "gag" using it more than once just paints him as the boorishly loud bloke down the pub who believes everyone thinks he is funny - when they get out side the first description of him is w**ker. Hey ho - he is earning a crust for himself.

My bosses are not forcing me to go out anywhere - if I make the decision to do so, as the result will pay my bills - they let me out reluctantly as they see me as an asset. Likewise JWP is hot property and an asset for the club, if a bit of chicanery is seeing him stay at home its not a surprise (even more so if it looks like he will be there as a tourist on the bench), especially as they play a team that has a random and little known strain of Covid from their farmed Mink population in their country which is destined to be destroyed as a result...................I wonder if there will be a glut of cheap Astrakhan hats flooding the market as a result: great to wear at game in the middle of January.

Now thats proper dark arts..............although you see Ralph being like Daniel Craig in Casino Royale and Skyfall "take your finger away from your ear!!".
