Saint Without a Halo

A number of teams come to mind that must be in with a shout 1) The promoted 60's team in 67 with Ron Davies top scorer in the top division (finishing ahead of George Best ) with 30 something goals including all 4 in a thrilling 4-1 win at old Trafford That was a great attacking team with some major defensive flaws and great flair with Chivers Paine and John Sydenham 2)The 76 cup winning team with Channon Osgood Macalliog and Holmes 3) The late 70's promotion and Division 1 team of Williams Ball Boyer and Macdougall team scored a few in their time 4) The Shilton Mark Wright Keegan Channon Ball Williams Armstrong team of the early 80'swas the most skillful and full of internationals 5) The last McMenemy team taken over by Chris Nicholl was the most rewarding in terms of blooding youth players with the likes of the Wallace brothers and a young Shearer and LeTissier 6) The Hoddle team and the 2003 Strachan team were probably the most consistent with the best balance of defensive and attacking skills

This is not complacency just a difference in CLASS

We are going to win this! Cmon you saints

We have I believe a loan with a buy option hopefully at a pre agreed price which is usually the case on this type of option.

I really cant remember when this last happened (it must have at some point) although I do seem to remeber a number of occasions when the team down to 10 have managed to hold out against us from the point they went down to 10 such as Peterboro did yesterday Is this selective memory by me or is it a recurring issue for Saints teams of whatever make up?

Boro down to 10 men

Hoivelllllllllllld 2-0

Chappers is becoming an essential player for us and seems to improve match on match

I think we did negotiate a buy option at the end of the loan

Back on the forum today after attending the last two home games come on you reds

I was over in the Uk and managed the Westham and Boro games either side of a visit to the states! Saints were magnificent a hard fought 1-0 over the hammers was followed by a classy demolition of Boro my observations from today 1) Chappers was magnificent what an engine looked like three plaers and not one a revelation this season 2) We always seem so much classier with Lalanna playing 3) Hoiveld and Fonte seem an excellent pairing now 4) Lambert does so much more than most goal scorers do particulalry on holding the ball up and providing assists 5) Our midfield is phenomenal This is certainly the best Saints team I hsve seen probably since the mid eighties certainly in terms of all round team work Long may it continue Back to the web next week until Christams at least

need a bit of Bull for balance
