After Spurs at home on 9 March we are due to play Watford on 16 th. There is then a 2 week international break until 30 March. Watford are still in the Fa cup and if they win their 5th round match our game with them will be rearranged. We will thus have a 3 week gap in our season. I can never remember such a long break in previous seasons. Will it be a good thing for us or a bad thing ? Will it matter ???

I remember them well and went to them all bat the Liverpool away match. At the time we were one of the top teams in the country. The Heydsal stadium tragedy robbed us of another European jaunt and this competition was no substitute.

You have developed a very strange, aggressive tone of writing on this thread. Elsewhere on this forum you write well. Your comments and summaries of important things like football matches are always pertinent and worth reading. For many years you have been an erudite and perceptive writer on this forum. It is just this thread which has turned you a little "odd". For the sake of completeness. 1. It is bizarre how you can consider that the EU has no effect on the price of property, food and drink. These wre areas ehere the EU has countless rules and regulations. Once our trade deal with America has been signed we can all enjoy the benefits of chlorinated chicken and GM apples. Yum yum. 2. It is remarkable how someone like me became a pension fund trustee and has invested in funds for countless years when I am "remarkably naive" about them. 3. I am not a "leftie" however you define that. I have never voted for a left wing party in my life. You are in danger of making yourself look considerably foolish on this thread. Take a chill pill each day, forget about this thread and just concentrate on enjoying the Saints under our new manager.

I am currently enjoying the cricket in Barbados. Tonight after the first day's play there was a large procession of England fans walking back into town. The missus pointed out one fan ahead of us who had extremely red legs. He had clearly never heard of sun lotion. " He is going to be incredibly sore in the morning" she said. As we walked past Mr Sore Legs I noticed on his legs a large Portsmouth tattoo. Ah well sums up the stupid c Nut.

Brexiteers are a strange bunch. Apparently it is "ridiculous" to criticise Lawson for wanting to live in a country which follows EU rules and regulations when he doesn't want those rules and regulations for his own country. I would have thought it is an example of gross hypocrisy on his part. Similarly it is apparently all right for the firm in which Rees Mogg is a senior partner and of which he owns over 15% to open new funds in Dublin and to describe Brexit as being a risk to a new fund and causing " considerable uncertainty ." Its funny how he never normally mentions Brexit having downsides. Mind you perhaps Brexiteers are not that odd - nobody seems able to defend hypocrite Dyson.

I very much doubt it but Dyson's actions are typical of the Brexit elite. Lawson decided that although Brexit was good enough for everyone else , it wasn't for him so he applied for French residency. Rees Mogg thinks that the UK will benefit from Brexit ... but not his investment house which is setting up in Dublin. Dyson is just another hypocrite Brexiteer.

If he had stayed with us he would probably now be a key part of the first team squad. Instead he is being loaned out like some old second hand car to teams fighting relegation. If Fulham go the way they seem to be heading that will be 2 Premier League relegations on his cv at the age of 24. Not too impressive ! He may have 3 England caps ( he played for Arsenal so they came autimatically) but he is some way away from getting his 4th. Debatably his bank balance may now be a little healthier than if he had stayed with us but I wonder if he regrets leaving.

Liam Fox said that to prevent trade disruption we would replicate current trade deals with 40 countries. So far trade deals have been signed with ..... 0 countries. So unless Fox pulls his finger out, stops blaming others and does something pretty fast I think it will be trade disruption !!

Thank God that you can always depend on Everton. A couple of years ago Josh Sims embarassed Koeman. Last year they were so poor that they made MoPe look good. 4 1 then and it would not have been a travesty if that scoreline had been repeated this year. No wonder their fans are always so quiet - definitely amongst the worst to visit SMS. They think they are a big team, spend lavishly and then fail to deliver on the pitch. Why did they out muscle us and other teams and pay Walcott so much if they only put him on the bench ??? With Ralph in charge everything looks so much better for us than a few weeks ago. He along with managers like Klopp and Pochettino seem to be a new breed of manager. They seem to actually like their players and encourage a good team spirit. The likes of Mourinho could well learn from their example.

So 30 months after coming into power May thinks that it is time now to talk to MPs and work out what sort of Brexit we should have. If only this process had started 30 months ago. Europeans and the rest of the world must think we are mad. If it wasn't so important it would be hysterically funny. In my lifetime we have had some good prime ministers and some poor ones. May must go down in history as being the most stupid, stubborn and hopelessly out of touch Prime minister this country has had to suffer. The sooner we find someone with a modicum of competence (thus ruling out Boris and David Davis) to replace her the better.

The OP is clearly a manic depressive. Ignore him and let him wallow in his own miserable world. Don't be sucked into it and just enjoy having " our football team back ".

Never having seen him play is never normally a reason for you to diss a player is it. Normally just having them put on a Saints shirt makes you slag them off.

Truth or fake news??? Heisenberg. The Donald Trump of the Saintsweb.

It's all right. Heisenberg will find loads of comments from Nice fans saying how s hite he is.

But Heisenberg - does he make up derogatory quotes about our young players who you havent seen play as you do ???

Brilliant response. I got 4/1that you would make up 5 or more derogatory comments about Alfie Jones. You sure came good making up more than 5. Many thanks - kerchong.

Most of the comments on the St Mirren forum are complimentary about him with the majority of posters being sorry to see him return to us. It would seem that he was certainly improving. It is so unlike you to diss a player associated with Saints.

What is the general opinion of Alfie Jones ?? I have not seen him play live but he has looked ok in clips I have seen. He has been recalled from his loan at St Mirren and with Maya playing in the Asian Cup and Hoedt being frozen out , CHDAJFU ??

So Barnet it is then.

I agree with this. A great day out which would have been just a tad better if we had won.

I suppose if he went to Fenerbahce he , the V man and his other hangers on could spend their free time gawping at Turkish belly dancers rather than scrawny Bournemouth strippers.

Is that for them to win the league or for them just to be promoted ? It would be awful if these odds were for the title yet they got promoted as runners up or in the play offs. It would be lose / lose for Glasgow.

I think you are wrong. I cannot see May lasting long after29 March if we do leave then.Clearly the bookies think the same. If we don't leave on 29 March it will be due to a referendum being called. Either way the status quo will be upset.

Sorry . I think you have got this wrong. The referendum was in June 2016. From your figures above the pound weakened considerably between Jan 2016 and 2018. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

If the phrase is goof enough to be used by members of Her Majesty's government it is good enough to be used by "even" me.
