stknowle

Thank you, I am always interested in your posts

Yes. It's fecking annoying. Keeps losing signal. Like Norman Collier's microphone at times. Turned it off in the end.

I remember Saints v Birmingham, first year at St.Mary's I think it was. 0-0 **** all happened.

TBH you had to laugh watching that. Barely had time to shout 'Yes! Get in!' Merson, Stelling and co were busting up laughing at 2 saints fans (presumably cameramen or something) in the studio whose wild celebrations had lasted all of 10 seconds before being abrubtly curtailed.

Well summed up. I don't think we're going to make it after the Leeds and Colchester games. With a 10 point deduction and the crap start we effectively had to perform like the strongest side in the league for the remainder of the season - sadly we ain't. That said a storming run from here on in (buoyed by the right aquisitions in January) and we can still make it - would need to check the stats but weren't Palace in the bottom six at xmas when Dowie took over the season they went up?

I know what you mean. I stood next to someone at the bar last night and I don't know whether or not it was Lee Holmes.

Best - the most incredible start-to-finish end-to-end goalfest - Saints 4Birmingham 3 in the playoff year. What a game! Worst - take your pick

Ben The Legend. Too busy invading the pitch to post on here anymore. Thoughts?:D

Your right. The kid has my full backing and should continue to invade the pitch at crucial moments. Ideally he should start wearing fancy dress from now on to add to the intrigue/enjoyment. His first outfit should be Madame Cholet from 70's kids classic 'The Wombles' and he should headbutt Leed's GK whilst thus attired as he prepares to take a goal kick this sat.

Aha aha ha ha ha ha! This sort of thing just does not happen to us! But today it has. Here we come Wembley!

Never been a betting man, struggle to understand odds. What do you stand to win if both bets come in?

Confident predictions can come back to bite you quite quickly (ask my Brighton supporting workmate who laughed long and hard on the Monday following my ****sure Friday statement that we would cane them), but I have to say that given our form, our squad, our position, our financial clout, the standard of the opposition,and the number of games left we should and will make the playoffs this season. Once there we will have to overcome one of Leeds, Norwich, or Charlton and if we do we will be promoted.

Hahaha seconded. Christ I miss that guy. I would say that his post indicates a certain amount of self reflection and maturing has gone on since he left us, judging by the absence of 'emoticons':D Why was he banned anyway, just to rescue him from self-inflicted ridicule or did he lose it and bite back unacceptably in a thread that I somehow missed? Thoughts?

Seconded. Jaidi looks PAINFULLY slow. At times it was like watching last season's super defensive ineptitude (all of them, not just Jaidi), scrambling back and last ditch Lancashiretastic hurling of bodies after being undone by not particularly incisive passes (TBF their first goal was good). Also Antonio was totally extinguished when they put 2 on him. That makes life difficult for the best of players and is a mark of respect for the threat he offers but why were we not able to exploit the gaps that have to appear when a team deploys 2 defenders on 1 attacker? Oh well, that will teach me to start getting confident!

It was Overmars although Limpar would have done as well. And another thing - Neil McCann was quite stunningly awful. Had all the skill and pace of a dead tortoise.

don't no

Right. A few weeks ago the bloke was a tactical idiot without a clue how to change a game. He will be again next time we lose and his substitutions have no effect. Regardless, well happy again today. Calling all statos - when was the last time we recorded consecutive 3 - 1 victories with the same 3 scorers scoring in the same order and with the scorer of the third playing in his debut and then his second ever game for the club?

After B Rovers defeat I finally cracked and uttered the unthinkable to a mate - "I really wish i didn't support this useless b of c's but I'm stuck with them". Honestly never said that or anything like it before but I was at my absolute wits end after 5 years of misery.Since then 3 wins on the bounce. I am clearly a motivational genius. COYRS!

Jesus H I would have been shocked if I became one of the players on the pitch. How long did this out of body experience last and did Wotton take your place in the stands while it happened?

I heard something kicked off inside and a window got damaged in the resultant fracas.

A couple of my mates had their earlobes flicked from behind as they walked to the ground by persons unknown, though Police say they strongly suspect Charlton 'fans'.

Don't know

I initially thought it might be about Fanny Craddock, tv chef personality of yesteryear. Then I remembered she is dead and would have been useless at centreback even if alive and up for sale (though still, arguably, a better option than Lancashire) Sorry, a bit silly but I've had a few. On a serious note what happened to the kid Racine? I remember him being talked about on here at the start of last season like he was a decent option if our main CB's got injured (which they did, but he certainly didn't ever play).

Cleaned up

3-2 at home early 80's. 2 nil down inside 10 minutes against Dalglish, McDermott, Kennedies, Johnstone etc, won 3-2 with goals including some sort of halfway line wonder lob from Nick Holmes (the decider if my hazy memory serves me correctly). Wallace took them apart as I recall.
