Saint Fan CaM

That's good - that's VERY good!!! lol

Got to agree with most on here - the Ref was diabolical. And there were many around me in the Kingsland who were going apoplectic at some of the decisions (e.g. Fonte's throat tackle and the ninja kick on Harding). And as someone has mentioned, either he was completely incompetent or he was on a cheating bung, but either way he should be sacked for that performance. Regarding Fonte, even if there it was 50-50, Jaidi's goal should have stood - there was no other infringement that I could see.

Can only be one true Saints song that is internationally known and that's "When the Saints go marching in" whatever the rendition. All the rest are johnny come lately songs that have no history. HTH.

Cannot believe how poor the ref was today - bottled it for what was a blatant penalty against Fonte...the defender had his arm around his throat when he brought him down FFS. Leeds cheated throughout the game - seems to me the reason they are starting to lose games is they have forgotten how to play football and rely heavily on Beckford faking fouls or by fouling themselves. Leeds certainly did not play good football today and Saints fully deserved the win. Fonte was my MOTM - immense performance, but Jaidi was superb too. Thomas and Harding both had very good games. Puncheon and Lallana were a complete nightmare for their defence. Davis had nothing to save all match really. Very happy with that game - we have shown we are the top team in this division without the 10 points IMO and we are being entertained. Cannot ask for more TBH. Bring on Swindon - we need to muller them too. But then the REALLY big game will be the next away fixture too...actually they're all big - but win the next three and even the doubters will start to believe.

You're right - I wouldn't travel to f-ing Coventry to see a Saints match!!!

I wondered how long it would take for someone to pick-up on this. I think if there's a possibility of a larger more modern stadium on the M27 east of the City, there is every chance a ground share would be given serious, serious thought by both organisations. I would hate it to be at Locks Heath though - don't want a throng of dirty smelly Skates near our residence thankyou - it's bad enough them living just a few miles away.

This will be the toughest test of the season IMO. It could well be a 2-2 draw.

I agree - nothing to do with happy clappy nonsense...it's just nice to see our team winning more than losing, especially at home. Just enjoying the whole experience more. But that's not to say it cannot be as good or better in the CCC.

Thanks Guys - searched everywhere for that info and couldn't find it anywhere.

This may be a daft question perhaps, but I ordered my tickets some time back and they've still not arrived. Has anyone received their tickets yet or are they not releasing them until they're all sold? Cheers. :confused:

Despite being a bit difficult to read (I sped read the important bits), this is a great post. It will however be flamed as anticipated or indeed ignored by those whose agenda is best known to themselves.

One thing is certain in football - you will not win all your games in a season. We've won a good number while rebuilding. The nature of away games is such that you're more likely to lose those, especially if the conditions are not ideal to your style of play. We've turned over the top team in this division on their pitch. NC may be many things, but he's no fool...he knows this stuff. Chill - enjoy the season - enjoy the home games - enjoy next season when it comes.

Incredible. Still arguing over this subject - same old comments from the same peeps. What will be will be - how can anyone second guess NC's thought's and does it matter? If we win every game from now on we will get promoted. It will probably be better for the club and the team if we wait until next season though. AP will be here to see it through unless we have a poor start to next season and then all bets are off. There's still some football to be played THIS season though.

Saints 3-1 and Lambo to score first. You heard it here first. (£400 in the bag for me if that happens!).

Yeah, I felt for the guy - those jeans must have cost £40+.

All goals were great, but I was impressed with the goals from Hammond and Puncheon - both would not have looked out of place in the Prem TBH.

Better tell them not to wear colours - some might not take too well to that.

Tried to get my mate a single ticket in Kingsland yesterday - no go - sold out. Only places left were Chapel or odd ones in Itchen block 4 (which I what I got in the end).

I really like what he had to say about his partnership with Fonte too - basically he 'feels his spirit' on the pitch and so knows where he's going to be and how he's going to play. Quite an insight really and if that's the same down the spine of the team (i.e. Morgan/Deano and Lambo/Barnie) it's no wonder the team is really starting to gel and starting to thrash a few teams.

It's one thing analysing the whotsit out of the court proceedings etc etc., but the simple fact remains that Pimpley have been given ANOTHER stay of execution. Has anyone really thought about why TWO weeks? And why will the PL not rule on the points deduction like every other club?!? It seems to me that there are certain parties that are colluding to keep them in business until the end of the season at the very least - thus helping them without having to show publically that they've been helped. It seems that it is in somebodies interest (other than PFC's) to keep the wolf from the door and not deal with the fall-out. I would wager that in two weeks time we'll still not see a resolution to the matter and PFC will still be 'in business' and therefore still effectively trading insolvently. I just wish one of their relegation or FA Cup rivals had the balls to question or even legally challenge the PL over the matter.

Our loss to the so called Prem team was down to an aging defence that was tiring in the 75minute of the game and the exceptional saves of James on the day. Nothing to do with Lambo's ability as a targetman/striker. Personally I think he would put in a heroic performance if he was picked - cannot be any worse than Heskey FFS. Thought Carlton Cole looked very ordinary tonight to be honest.

Absolutely correct. This is what we didn't do at Wycombe - tried to play far too centrally and consequently tried passing through a cabbage patch bog. Even Wycombe got it wide at every available opportunity.

Yes, yes. Corrected with explanation thankyou. :-& #-o

It was the type of game that had you not bought a ticket and been there, you would never believe Saints could play so well. As a club we were awesome last night - a complete and majestic performance. Best chant? (Love this!) "Are you Walsall? Are you Walsall? Are you Walsall in disguise? Are you Walsall in disguise?!"

Are you Walsall, Are you Walsall Are you Walsall in disguise? Aaaarrrrrre you Walsall in disguise?! LOL
