John Boy Saint

Wonder if this meteor is what’s making the streams wonky. Mine is hopping about all over the place.

Hojbjerg is looking like an accident waiting to happen.

Wings have been clipped bros!

I thought it was just me

Or do what the Kossovans did the other night and find each other all round the ground with phone torches.

A true Saint in our darkest hour. RIP Leon Thank you

Think the Kosovo player taking a yellow for no doubt infringing just as Kane was in his final stage of addressing the ball turned out to be a cracking bit of gamesmanship.

Loads in the Itchen too, also good humoured too and I thought actually added to the night. One or 2 had a bit of a mither at the stewards because they were there, but in all honesty like you say it was as it should be all getting along watching an entertaining game of football.

Oh flipping marvelous!! That said I have just seen on AA Roadwatch that the road from the M3 onto the M27 and J5 eastbound looks relatively clear with the roundabout a bit choked up.

Don't think any of the pop up Car Park guys will be passing up a chance of a bonus games earnings, might see the prices pop up a little though.

That just made me think about the queues for home league games when the capacity was 15,500, stood on the pavement half way down the Milton Road stand for over an hour, and a steward coming along counting folks, then getting to half a dozen folks behind you and then saying "I can't guarantee you will get a ticket"!!!

Drove past the Potters Heron the other day with Mrs JBS - and joked they should have a Blue Plaque on the wall stating that one of biggest Football signing coups was revealed on this spot on the 11th February 1980. On the Kevin Davies sale to Blackburn, I vaguely recall reading something from Dave Jones about this. It was along the lines of being sat in his office and a call from Blackburn being put through to him, Blackburn saying they wanted to buy him and were offering £7.5m for him, Jones said he nearly fell off his chair on hearing the amount, Blackburn thought he had hung up due to the silence on the Southampton end of the line, but Jones was just running the madness through his head, that there was this lad who played a season for Saints let alone the Premier League (I always thought under the circumstances us getting Davies from Chesterfield was a bit of blinding business - getting 10 times what we paid for him even more so) Jones had commented that Davies still had a lot to learn but if someone was stupid enough to spend that kind of money on an unfinished player then he had better say yes before they changed their mind. Turned out to be a cracking bit of business as we got some oik called James Beattie as part of the deal.

Lawrie Mac in his first book Diary of a Season was chasing Colin Todd, who turned out to be a bit up himself and went elsewhere, and we got Charlie George instead.

He was out of contract (and out of favour) at Reading at the end of his season with us - as he had done so well and were sniffing about to snap him up. Reading went “oh hang on maybe we were a bit hasty and he’s better than we thought”. So they gave him a new contract and as we were doshed up tied a £1m+ Price tag round his neck.

He will be fine if he has Cheese and Marmite with the crusts cut off.

But Sue in the 70’s the pitches were pure mud no little bits of plastic in them just Mother Nature’s miraculous curing elements.

I fell into that one!!

Amazingly yes!!.............it’s just north of them where it goes wrong! As an aside Whilst discussing acceptable wardrobe to attend p*mpey.........any advice as to what to wear on Tuesday night for sitting in the Itchen.

Hang on Doddy - what about those of us who ran the gauntlet back half of the 70’s Half the gobshoites on the committee would soil their Calvins if we turned the clock back. Still makes the thread entertaining

Think I will dodge this and opt for building my Star Wars X Wing fighter over the next 100 weeks for just shy of £1000.

You forgot Neil!!!!!

Will there be a dress rehearsal before hand and when will it be? As to meet the specified criteria to attend I will be needing to eat dust for the next 2 and a half weeks.................bet some of the Fan Police above will be rushing to hide behind me when it kicks off!

I thought that competition in training looked like they were all having quite a bit of fun.

Nice One Lighthouse

That would be a shame as he and his brother have done a sound job with them, gave Everton the right runaround in the cup (2-4 defeat was no reflection of the game whatsoever). As see Huddersfield have been sniffing about too.
