Trust me his Polish Wife would be worth moving to Poland for............When she told him they were going home.

Cheers for posting that, as I have since the Villa game I have tried extremely hard to avoid dodgy streams and actively following the game, at the same time my mate has been at every away since Villa so we are torn between him going and me not watching Chelsea might have shown who is the lucky token! Thought we were a bit P’d at the Wolves result, seems we were annoyed and did something about it. Good to see even with the pack shuffled just like at Chelsea we are becoming a pain in the backside, we certainly like the Yellow and Grey kit too. Great pass by “Cafu” Stephens up to Redmond - he’s made a few goals recently striding out of defence and pinging a great pass upfield. (Bet he had a few words with Vestergaard). What does Zaha think he is playing at trying to get a reaction out of JWP, bloke must be thick.

Um Pahars showed his face the other day - that was a blast from the past, although I think he resides on the other channel if my brain hasn’t deserted me. Alpine is still here - just one of his alter egos from North of the border is probably spending too much time trawling the betting sites or polishing his golf clubs to dust him off - probably get another PM off him for posting this now........... C’est la vie 8)

Battled to keep my eyes off the Palace game to try and keep the run going (I know silly) watched The Blades v Citeh on BT and they had that Dempsey bloke who did the Boxing on Sky, Christ he was painful...........I was actually willing Clive Tyldesley or Peter Dreary into the chair.

We saw that at the Spurs game - Wife begins the ascent of the Chapel steps armed with a pie in both hands, husband trailing behind her with a coffee in one hand and a pint of beer in the other - pretty much as everyone had taken their seats so no congestion at the top of the steps to hide the beer in. Fair play to them and other obviously thought likewise because no one grassed them up

Blimey looking like Ings might be the last man standing for an Ingerland call with Kane broken, now Rashford is Broken with a double stress fracture in his back according to social media reports and martin Tyler on the commentary just now

Made a change not to walk out of St Mary's after a loss looking for the cat to kick. Hope it is just a reality check, other results made ours a hiccup. Weirdly I thought when JWP got his yellow we lost a little in midfield.

You have got Kids a Quid so expect to have the back of your seat kicked and having to get up and down to let folks out with tin lids desperate for the facilities............. Bloody great being a moany old git!! Wolves supporting customers and ST holders in those parts think we will be bagging all the points.

At Birmingham he was THE target man we all know Premier league is different gravy with a slightly different approach needed. In the last few games when used he doesn’t seem to be playing with the weight of having to score a goal on his shoulders, it’s like as Ralph said about having to polish Obafemi, seems like Adams is going through the same process. In the Chelsea game on Obafemis goal you watch him subtly sliding the Chelsea defender backwards to open the door wider for Obafemi to curl it in but also anticipating the pass or ready to pounce on any spillage, v Huddersfield no pressure to press on and score but spotting the availability of Vokins with space and the ability to ping it out to him. Then Saturday knowing where Ings was, managing to dig the ball out from under his feet for a crisp pass to exactly where he knew Ings wanted and needed it. Be madness to loan him out as the pressure to score seems to have been removed and he is seeming making a better contribution to the team when asked as a result - with the weight of the expectation lifted he might well relax stroke one home and be off on a run.

The more I have seen that Long was deemed offside, the more I can’t help but notice that in the deciding frame the decision was made on the ball through to him has already been kicked and en- route to him, as it’s clearly blurred. Just as an aside (I won’t bother trying to spell his name) but the Leicester player who felled Long picked up a yellow I presume for the offence, so if the offence was rubbed out due to VAR is his yellow automatically rubbed out too?

That’s because, we don’t choose to be a Saints fan - the Saints choose us! And given our ups and downs over the years and throughout a season - prophetic words from a father to son many years ago. (no not mine).

Superb result - after sitting through West Ham the recent transformation has been amazing. Like Villa I went and did something else, I guess I best keep that up when we are away and not on the Tellybox

Congratulations mate.

Maybe if he didn’t lose it so often we would be top 4 rather than having top 4 form.

A bit off the wall........Was the goal being ruled out last night manufactured by the Blades defender? If you look at the decision against WH again, and the proximity of Baldocks (?) head as he stretches to get his head on the ball is very un-natural Did he have the presence of mind to think Rice is pumping his arms as he runs “If I can just get my head on it there is a damn good chance the ball will hit his hand so any goal will be ruled out by VAR, if I miss the ball I’m bringing him down and they get a less dangerous free kick” It will no doubt be re run umpteen times cos it’s good ole West Am, the defensive header is a real do or die effort.

When you see that handball given you wonder how the bloody hell that Toby handball was not given for us v Spurs!

Lee Mason on the Whistle for this one - he can be a mixed bag. Darren Bond the man in the van out in the King Power car park watching the VAR TVs (newer name to the Refs roster - and yes I know he isn’t sat in a van in the car park). I didn’t realise the VAR linesman made the final decision on the offsides not the VAR Ref until the other day. I guess you’ll all want me to go out shopping on Saturday afternoon like I did for the Villa game

Last time we went to the FA Cup final we beat Spurs on Boxing Day 1-0 at SMS and then in the 3rd round of the cup at SMS 4-0 so if they get past Boro ...........Played them on the next available bank holiday then in the 4th round of the cup. just saying as footie does throw up these anomaly’s

Saints Ladies have picked up where they left off, winning yet again, knocking Cardiff out of the Women’s FA Cup at theirs. In the hat for Monday’s draw where the WSL and championship teams come in.

Won’t be Palace for a change!

7:35pm tomorrow (Monday) BBC1 before the Arsenal v Leeds live game. Apparently Saints will be number 11 and our Fishy Friends down the M27 are 27!

Mike Riley probably didn’t like him so a perfect excuse to winkle him out.

Desk

Dele Alli clocked up most of his distance holding his arms like a penguin pursuing Mike bloody Dean round the SMS pitch begging for a penalty or 2!!

Well you ain't helped by doing likewise - git-bag!!!! Its like waiting for the Beano to be delivered!
