Crab Lungs

LMFAO They've cost me sooo much money over the years with their failure to provide a decent service... so glad I'm just a few weeks away from driving myself to work now. Phew.

How is that "clever" ??? - It's ****ing sad. As is staying in on a bank holiday weekend and posting on here. Me? Well, I have my reasons but I suspect you do not.

I thought this young lady was worth a bit of tappage, but suddenly I got confused after listening to her voice... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics/athletics/7578732.stm Wha dee fook is her voice sooooooooooooo high pitched? Still, I likey and I'd let her scream my house down, even if the neighbours did think I was gadding an adolescent.

Sadly, Jill has never once grasped "humour" or "wind ups" - her ickle brain struggles to process such stuff... Poor Jill

Lol - "taxi for Essruu!"... Oh.

I wonder where Chump Pahars is to give us the real "ITK" lowdown on Jan's coaching ability? LOL

I just hope the doom mongerers start to lighten up a bit. Oh, and as for Derby. LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO gutted, you turbo-cu-n,ts.

Any chance we could run out to this beauty? Or maybe even this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47OF_kbHP8o&feature=related

Totally agree, it's infuriating every time I see the offside flag go up and lookn only to see John lolloping back into "position", sometimes gesticulating to the lino. Bring back Marek and bring back his pony tail!

Awwwww nooo, we're fooked if Coppell's got a daughter whose got a nice pair of legs...

Can't wait for the arrival of Pulis' son. :-S http://www.clubfanzine.com/stoke_city/v2.showNews.php?id=3410

The "Svensson pens new deal" is blatantly in place to neutralise, in some way, the nasty shock some will get when they announce "Davies to Stoke"...

LOL I will contribute, just not yet. I have demands to bet met.

Hi Gio Long time, no speak! I'll do it, but can't send you a PM with my no though. :-(

That's pretty much exactly word for word what I've heard. Spooky

???

Almost a year ago... this has been going on for a while it would appear... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7015549.stm

I was fortunate enough (or maybe not?) to be privy to some apparently good information on Saturday, of which I scoffed at. Apparently the whole Merrington/Dubai/Shearer thing won't go away. The person who told me NEVER has anything really of substance when it comes to information about the club but nevertheless, he told me that it could well happen soon and Shearer will be installed as manager with £50m to spend over the next 2 seasons, and the club will also be debt free. Then I heard the same thing again, today, from my father, about something he saw on SSN... So, I'm not sure whats going on with this rumour, but it appears to be gathering pace. Am I happy about it? Not really, as we've just wasted another pre-season on preparing for something totally different...

The only Saints related group worth joining is the SFC "firemen" IMO.

Dolce and Gabbana "The One" Try it.

Tbf, I too wouldn't want Gump Pahars and his gang to get anywhere near the decision making at SFC... but I am willing to put a tenner towards Minty's wedding. Or a Steve Grant haircut.

lmfao so true

KJ was one of the best players I've seen in a Saints shirt in recent years. Left badly, very badly even, but I've no doubt he'll join one of the bigger clubs in the near future.

Ah, some ratings (IMO) Bialkowski 6, Just misses out on a 7 because of his tendancy to claw instead of catch/parry. Some excellent saves though. Surman 6, Not one of the most impressive on the night but can "do a job" at LB. Would think he is only keeping Mills out of the side on experience. James 9, Tough tackling and great going forward. Not bad for a central midfielder! See Jermaine, it can be done... Svensson 7, OKish, got beaten in the air a couple of times by Carlton Cole and was a little bit shaky but you've got to give it to the guy, he's just spent nearly 4 years out without kicking a football! As long as his knee holds up, we've got a Prem class defender back. Bit unfair making him mark Bellamy though! Perry 7, Fairly unnoticed but tidied up well alongside Svensson. Gillett 7, Tigrish and busy, linked well with Schneiderlin and always on hand to help the defence. His delivery at set pieces was poor, but I'm sure it'll come good eventually. Schneiderlin 10, No joke, this boy is absolute class. Stick him in the Arsenal team and he wouldn't look out of place. Not only has he got the desire and fight, he's got the technical ability as well. We might struggle if he gets injured/suspended as he seems to knit everything together. It's fair to say this lad will be the heartbeat of our team. Was in stitches when Parker AND Mullins just bounced off him in tackles. Holmes 8, Has the tendancy to overcook his runs a little but from what I've seen this pre-season, this has been his best performance by a mile. Like the rest of the young 'uns, this boy has potential and if this enviroment hopefully he'll realise it. The most potent winger on dispay for both sides. Thomson 7, Could have potentially been a higher rating if he'd have seen the ball a bit more and got at the left back just a tiny bit more. Still, excellent prospect and linked well with James. Lallana 8, Quiet in the first half, but once I saw him up close in the 2nd I realised just what a good job he was doing. He, on his day, is going to be another key player for us. Tricky and clever, if he gets a bit more involved from the off, he could turn his potential into the real-deal. McGoldrick 8, Was delighted to see him score those two goals of the highest quality. And, with that, the confidence seemed to surge back. I think he's getting used to preserving himself for goalscoring opportunities now and not so much running around like a headless chicken as per previous performances. He's a big unit too, don't think they'll be too many defenders enjoying a tussle with him.

My word, I'm in agreement with many of the posts on here, Saints were absolutely first class. I could make an excuse that WHU were also exceptionally poor but you'd think they might make that up with their apparent Premiership class - obviously not. It's been such a long long time since I've seen a Saints team move the ball FORWARD AND WITH PURPOSE! It must have been embarassing for WHU fans as their team appeared to be cut to ribbons almost at will with our incisive passing. WHU looked, at times, to be chasing shadows as Saints moved the ball around them with ease and if our finishing had been just a little bit better, we'd have had a couple more. It wasn't just the manner of our performance with the passing and movement that I was impressed with, it was also the sheer hunger and determination from the team. Schneiderlin epitomised our performance, really - quality passing, good technical skill and put his foot and head in where it most definitely could hurt. Lloyd James, for a midfielder cum right back was also impressive, and McGoldrick took his goals exceptionally well. Thomson and Holmes, whilst not in the same class as Spiderman were also good, although we definitely need them to get on the ball more often. All in all, I was thoroughly delighted with the performance - I was just saying to everyone who didn't go that I wished they did - just so they can see for themselves that we could possibly do something this year...
