Kingsland Codger

Alternatively, instead of having a colourful variety of differing opinions, we could just go by what the UK government has decided; 28 December. https://www.gov.uk/bank-holidays But where would be the fun in that?

I recall going up to Newcastle to see the Saints a few years back, in October. It was noticeably cooler - Newcastle fans were walking around in short-sleeved black-&-white tops and the Saints supporters were to be found in Marks & Spencer buying an extra wooly.

deep into stoppage time in the JPT. From about 1.40 And our has a wonderful clip of Marcus joining in with the red-and-white mosaic at 0.23

Here's hoping Dave Merrington will take the sensible option and call him simply "the goalkeeper" when making his comments on Radio Solent.

I offer as a suggestion our second goal in the defeat of Arsenal. On the one hand I'm not sure it counts as an official assist as there was a poor defensive error just before Tadic scored, but then the goal included what might be called a 'double-assist' as there was Victor's inch-perfect chip to Davis and then a superb bit of control and pass by Davis to set things up. If the defensive touches mean it can't count as an assist, well, just enjoy the clip anyway. From around 1.50 on the link below. Wanyama and Davis assist for Tadic

Found this on the Red Bulls website WERDER BREMEN, SOUTHAMPTON, VALENCIA AND BAYER LEVERKUSEN TO VISIT RED BULL ARENA http://www.redbulls.com/en/fc-red-bull-salzburg/news/saison_2014_15/red-bull-salzburg-to-face-big-name-opponents-in-2015-16-pre-season.html

Yossouf Mulumbu (sp?) of WBA. He put in a huge performance way back in August, denying any service to our strikers.

Quite a boost for the resort of Mamaia.

No worries, CD - the Kingsland is full of old codgers. It takes all sorts to make a stadium full of Saints fans.

Not me, honest.

Hopefully one of the assessors will draw Clattenberg's attention to this bizarre anomaly and he might improve thereafter. Fat lot of good that is to us right now, however.

Mmmm.. so we have criticisms of Pelle for not being enthusiastic and criticisms of Mane for being excessively keen. We are indeed a tough bunch to please. Well done to JWP for his composed and confident approach.

We came from behind to get a draw at Villa and at Chelsea and at St Mary's against Ipswich in the Cup - but we don't draw many.

Not sure he ever played for us against any Premiership side. He made several howlers against Blackpool in our Championship promotion season.

I've heard of Chiellini - he was the one Luis Suarez took a nibble at in the World Cup.

Whilst I agree on the advantage, given our woeful record on scoring from free-kicks, I suspect allowing play to continue was the best benefit we received. I would like at add one other matter; right at the end of the game, the ref blew up for a free kick to Palace, Mane fell to the ground with the ball and Delaney kicked him to get the ball back, for which Atkinson gave Delaney a yellow card. Call me old-fashioned, but doesn't kicking a player on the ground when play has been stopped merit a straight red card?

Sounds like you became an expert in listening to the advice of experts - shame there aren't many more who do.

I can't be sure, but for a free-kick, I offer Rickie Lambert against Stoke on 8 February last year; I will be only too pleased to be corrected, but I can't recall a more recent score. For 25 yard pile drivers, Clyne at Arsenal, Pelle at Stoke in the COC and Victor at Hull.

Changed it for you.

Why isn't Pelle our 'go-to' man when we have a free-kick? We had several free-kicks from about 25 yards today. I can't understand why Pelle doesn't stride up to the free-kick spot, grab the ball and say 'This one's mine'. He's a striker, he wants to score goals and a free-kick is a huge scoring opportunity.

Clive Woods, member of that great Ipswich side of the mid/late 70s, was often described as having "an educated left-foot". From this, I could only infer that the rest of him was woefully ignorant.

Further to my earlier reply the following link may be of use http://www.seejapan.co.uk/jnto_consumer/plan-your-trip/accommodation

Quite right.

LOL. Very good.

Yes, he is out of sorts and needs help around him but the best way us fans can help to get him scoring again is to praise him, not belittle. The Choir of the Northam end were particularly encouraging towards Pelle last night. When he had a go but failed they were chanting his name and giving him a cheer.
