I think we have our tails up now - don’t think there is anyone in the remaining games to scare us. We look fit and that showed in the City game, actually from both sides, where just the minimum of subs were made, ours replacing a bloke who hasn’t played 90 minutes all season and City trying to unlock our door. Keep PEH and his negative play off the pitch and we can pocket the 3 points.

Said it before even at 55 it is like being a kid waiting for the next edition of Whizzer & Chips or the Beano to come out - then when it “drops on the doormat” you've read most of it before heading off to school 😳🤪

I had a couple of mates who phoned me today saying that’s what amazed them the most.

Think Romeu is a far better foil for JWP in midfield bit like Wanyama and Schniederlin where Victor was the blunt instrument and Morgan the surgeon. Romeu is the iron fist in Prowseys velvet glove. Romeu always seems to look to play forward much more than PEH.

Think Ralph didn’t want to break the cohesion, making changes for changes sake might have broken the spell, also shows the level of fitness both teams had, us to defend them to attack. It might be red and white striped glasses I viewed that through, but that has to be the most intense game so far of the restart. I am bloody knackered. 😁

Given the global presence of Under Armour the do seem like a bunch of Stumblebums dragging their feet each year with our kits. all seems a bit tinpot But then when the CEO of our headline sponsor is a bloody Squirrel we shouldn’t be surprised it’s all a bit cockeyed.

Amazon Prime have already proved they have the capacity to show every game on one day - be a bit of coup if they yank that rabbit out of the hat!

Pretty certain that was nailed on, new stadium we suddenly looked like we had money Bierhoff would have been the marquee signing (he was one of German Footballs pin up boys) to say “hey look out everyone, shiny stadium and big Bollocks with it on the pitch”. Trouble is he wanted big money wages and Lowe being rightly sensible and cautious 33year old player on that kind of money no way. So we got Rory Delap and Augustin Delgado probably on wages combined adding up to what Bierhoff wanted.

Norwich goalie just gifted a goal to Arsenal to set them on their way.

They deffo don’t sing that! 😳🙄🤪

Please can someone give me a clue as to what words they actually sing when Sky goes to adverts during football - me and Mrs JBS have given up guessing - “see the ball” possibly At the end.

Trouble is do you want him training with the nippers slowly becoming like a bottle of milk left out on the side with the lid off stinking the place out? That said when he turned up he freely admitted that his contract with us sets him up for life, so cruising round with the nippers would probably suit him very nicely.

No it’s a lesser Red you could almost call it an Orange, he didn’t set out to smash the player to smithereens just last man before keeper and goal so a soft red, think handball on the line might be a soft red too, but if you have been sent off already this season that becomes 2 match ban 3 times etc......Pretty sure Wanyama got pinged on that one for us once.

Spurs wages aren’t at the stratospheric level many other clubs piddle up the wall, makes me wonder if the win bonus is rather nice thank you. Think Arsenal did similar once as did we in the days of Lowe. It’s only recently Kane had a new contract that bolted him to the floor at £200k pw not that long ago he was around £50k pw which when it came out made you think Gosh that’s low.

Wasn't until I saw this post that I realised we seem to have the rub of the green on this next set of games, in that we have a week between Watford and City - City play Thursday against Liverpool then us on Sunday. We have our next game on the following Thursday then the following Monday which is reasonable enough, although travel could be a pain as both are away in the north west.

What bright spark dug this up from the dark corner where it should have remained accumulating dust and cobwebs - there is nothing cathartic in a revisitation. Reminded me of waking up in China to turn off my alarm and seeing a message from a mate about shipping so many goals at home - wow I was instantly awake. So thanks for that reminder and thanks for making me wonder when I can go back to China again.

Think that was evident as the clock ran down, even Ings was hanging back trying to feed him. Liked the look of KWP - he looks like you could just pop him in your pocket, but against Watford’s monsters totally un-phased and always looking forward tidy player on today’s performance if Spuds want to swap him for PEH, crack on. Romeu looked tidy today no frills just simple stuff breaking up play giving JWP freedom instead of having to show for PEH. Sorry but Redmond drives me up the wall, Armstrong gets the ball drives forwards Redmond in the same spot on the pitch is like a Super Tanker trying to execute a handbrake turn.........maybe that’s just me. Anyway what a treat to see another win on the road nailed and 40 points with games to play,

The phrase - The chances of that are slim to none....................and Slim just rode out of town - springs to mind.

That’s what I said yesterday evening - bit like getting a lollipop after seeing the dentist - you know full well that you will be back in their chair before long! 😁

Get that bloody White Witch back to top up whatever she did when we first moved into St Mary’s - might be mumbojumbo to some but there are many who believe the weirdness surrounding ancient Britons and the ground being built on an old settlement.

Just seen the replay of the Jack red card to criticise him for playing Aubameyang onside is bang out of order, firstly Hoj plays the ball through so no chance of offside, Jacks body language is how is that ball coming my way?? Saints the gift that keeps on giving. Ah well pretty sure we have the life belt already packed on the coach for Watfords hopes

Hey I guess the one upside - I’m getting my money back on that game.

Stephens was hung out to dry by the pass

Wish you could mute Carragher..........jeez the guy offers nothing of any value.

Oooh either I’m blind but a LIKE button has appeared! i have this on 3 devices so it might have been there for a few days - but looking right now on mobile it’s obviously put itself in my eye line
