John Boy Saint

Would be funny just for the Sky meltdown at who to root for next as at the moment it’s Liverpool followed by errr Liverpool and Liverpool then the 5 of the “Big 6” swiftly followed by the ‘Ammers. Still these last few games will get them use to the emptiness of the London stadium in the championship.

Blimey a score line to mask the durge of a game it’s been.

You do realise that traditionally to answer your own questions on SaintsWeb you have to manipulate the system to have multiple logins and develop severe schizophrenia (jeez I typed that with out spell check auto correct.......gosh!......thats worrying!) so you can have an argument with yourself ☺️

For a bunch of hard working scrappers Burnley looked bamboozled early on - just as Arsenal did the other night a Sky stat came up in that Arsenal game as the match was entering the final 10 mins - shots on target Man City 16 - Arsenal 2. City look like they have been training together all through lockdown - they are so metronomic I nodded off in both tonights game and last Wednesdays!!

So if the referee has blown the whistle for half or full time you can manhandle and rough up oppo players at will, committing offences that would see you getting first go with the hot water in the showers in the game time minutes between the kick off whistle and the signalled end of the half. The time that elapsed between Maupays first half tangling with Leno and Guendouzi taking issue with Maupay at the end of the game was a pre meditated action. it does beggar belief, the video ref reviewed it too, and the FA naughty boys committee say its ok. Bizarre!

I thought he looked more relaxed without the armband on Friday. People use to moan about Wanyama being solid in the middle breaking up play, and stats say likewise with PEH, but like Wanyama (until his last season with us) passing a ball beyond 10-15 yards and it becomes a lottery. As for his wayward shooting - it makes me think of my golf swing, do it too fast too hard and a lottery as to where my ball goes - slow it all down and the ball goes pretty much where I want it, sitting in the Chapel and seeing countless of his shots coming my way, I can’t help but think you have enough time to slow your shooting action down just a little and avoid the snapshot trying to knock the skin off the ball. I stand to be corrected but all his goals from a good strike have been from where he has been running with the ball and hit it rather than the being stood still and trying to smash the Granny out of the easier chance through over thinking.

Zszzzzzzzzzzz Is it over?

Just spotted Mike “f**king” Dean has become Catweasel (ask your olds Kids 😁). As an aside if you haven’t heard it yet - look out the Peter Crouch pod-cast with Dean as a guest - it is pretty funny.

I thought that was second yellow = red. For Luiz so that’s only one game - I stand to be corrected (now the drink has long passed) Guendouzi should be retrospectively done because what he did to Maupay was a good hour after the event that sparked it and the final whistle........but then the FA are so spineless they couldn’t do anything about Zaha visibly poking JWP in the eye - if that’s not raising your hands to an opposition players face??

Think anyone who wasn’t sceptical about the “signing“ is telling Porky pies after the amounts we had piddled up the wall on Lemina, Elyounoussi, Carrillo etc, and here we were coughing up “a whopping” £20M(ultimately) on a player who hadn’t seen much action on the pitch over the last few years, and most of us had already witnessed JRod not come back to the level he was at before he suffered a similar injury. Without him this season we certainly could be in a spot of bother right now. We’re all cynical bunch on here and we all know the definition of a Cynic = an Optimist with experience. In Danny’s post match interview I couldn’t help but notice how his ‘Ampshoire accent is coming back.

Ooops drinking - talking golf and posting - got my wild haired players mixed up - Guendouzi should by rights be missing on Thursday Apologies one and all. 8-0 win still stands (where does golf come into it - trying to re book a trip to The Vale in South Wales when we were there in October Welsh team were staying there Ampadu was skipping down the car park like a little kid, quite funny to watch.............Bale can carry on up his backside)

I’m guessing Sideshow Bob will be back in contention as a second yellow is only a one game ban so that’s gone, and Arse are on the bones of their backsides at the back. Ampadu could be in a spot of bother though. Just got to beat them 8-0 and we’ll be above them 🤪

Maybe not ...........isn’t that a crypto currency?

Watch out mate the bra burners will be out with starting the next farce of double X chromosomes matter! 🤪

Shadows down our end make it look like the extra 5 subs are on the pitch too! 🤪

Here's a thought - I hope that in the event of an ballot for social distancing attendance that the system can identify same household ticket holders. It would be a bit pants if Mrs JBS gets selected to watch a game and me her Husband who obviously lives in the same house doesn't get drawn, when we can sit side by side and increase the attendance - we are obviously not unique in this. (yeah ok maybe I am by liking going to the footie with the missus! ☺️)

Also if you look at the Season Ticket details on the OS the purchase of your existing seat deadline is the 1st Sept and general sale 2nd Sept - they ain't going to leave all those seats hanging in the air with the season kicked off, especially if the social distancing comes down to 1m.

When they beat City they were a rag tag and bobtail team cobbled together due to the injury list - so don’t hang you hat on our advantage at their sick list.

Seems like your hard work is paying off Steve - much smoother getting on today - cheers. Although I guess the big acid test is at 6pm this evening.

The extra voucher does have a few options how you want to use it but does carry an asterisk if you take the retail option - "Excludes 20/21 Kit" - that said it is still the best option as the travel option will likely be clouded by ballots on away games to.............thats even if we are allowed away. Unless I have missed it elsewhere- the deadlines do point to next season starting in September as "Notable Dates" Seat hold is 1st Sept, General sale 2nd Sept.

Better send a note to the Vicar to get his skates, and opt for the abridged sermon at Evensong on the 5th ...........so I can get home for the City game (they looked sharp last night......Arsenal looked like a fish up a tree by comparison). ☺️

His Mum must have been the talk of the town - 😜😳 🤪

There is a bloody big echo in here 😉

Mrs JBS switched from main event to Premier League - amazingly better without the faux fan effect. Amazing how Grealish gets the merest touch and collapses gets the decision, Long at speed gets clearly clipped ref persistently waves it away.

Oooo that’s clever - being of an age where some dark corners (to me) of computer gubbins are entered like walking on a frozen lake that was very painless like you say smart icon too ............thank you very much.
