Totton Saint

What a party pooper. I am a poor typist or I would have more to say about the game itself. Except AA will be good in Premif we can buy Downes for example.

Being of a certain age I got the joke. How many othesr did?

I noticed how thick it was and how many boot prints there were in the thick grass at the final whistle. I am in Scotland but I am with you in spirit all you fans en route to Wembley. Premier League here we come!!

The Telegraph sSport had a whole double page spread on Leeds but not a word about the saints. IT REMINDS ME OF THE HYPE IN THE 1976 CUP FINAL when no paper gave Saits a prayer anewe beat man U. So let's hope w e confound the pundits again.

What is the third kit like I wonder?

The TV commentators praised the groundsman for the condition of the pitch.. I expect he was spitting feathers after the invasion. Will Che be picked for the final even if fit considering how well the front three played.

I thought AA ran his socks off and take a bow Smallbone Good all round team effort. Brooks came good too

Read my post again. I said it was a grammar school at the time I went there nearly 70 years ago. Of course I knew it was turned into a comprehensive like most Grammar schools were. Before it was built we all went to Woodley Hill GS . I was an old house converted into a school with no football playing fields.

Injured in training again - whoever tackled him should get a yellow card. The FOREST GRAMMAR gym master, a Mr Muncey, played full back for Wokingham Town FC.

I once lived in Wokingham an d went to school at Winnersh's Forest Grammar school (as it was then in the Fifties).

Feel better now?

Saints seemed to be conserving their energy for the return leg on Friday. Watching on TV it is hard to see how well players are playing. I could discern that our goaiei played well.

Well we don't have long to wait to see how the selection pans out. There are other players other than Mara we can depend on - I hope?

Good opportunity to show our class to a world wide viewers

It may have been a dead rubber match but that did not stop KWP chasing a seemingly lost cause chasing down the ball down to stop it going over the goal line., then centering for AA to score. No SKY curse this time.!!

maybe playing for us?

Pity we did not recall Peural - forgive the spelling

Judging by recent results have we got a strong side whoever gets picked?

I need a shrink to wean me off being a saints fan I Am already getting withdrawal symptons.

Surely Brooks will be dropped regardless who replaces him

We should have had a reaction Tuesday afterSaturday's capitulation

After that inept capitulation where does the club go from here? Division 1? How did it come to this so relatively soon after the days of Tadic, Pele, Mane etc Ted Bates would turn in his grave.

We were the exponents of the high press under Haassenhuta

What a debacle. How can eleven men contrive to "play" so spinelessly.. I am dumfounded by tha tcapitulation
