Saint Billy

I am doing it for the Arsenal game in Sept with wifes family who are arse season ticket holders, never done it before so I am hoping a few pints in the Pins pub before hand will soften the pain of being heavily laid into if saints score.

Or he could be Austrian representing a French player.......who knows

Oh god no!!!! Please not a Jedward in the team.

Bloody hell, I cannot believe how much grief there is about the new kit. I am sure the stripes will return sometime for those that will miss it so dont despair. I am not worried about tradition because apart from 76 there is not that much to be honest. We are not a famous club and so we are also not famous for wearing a striped kit. This is a new saints with a foreign owner and we have to accept that there will be changes and as far as I am concerned we could wear purple because we are still in existence and back in the Prem which is all down to our Swiss owners and NC. I am 55 btw and have watched saints since I was able to stand.

If thats the case why the hell dont we keep him and start using him

Either that or a vile Sunderland/Exeter/Stoke shirt !

What have you done agent trousers, your cover is now blown.

I love both tbh, I have never really liked the stripes and I bet a bit of psychology is involved in the choice. Brave choice by NC and gang as it is bound to upset many traditionalists but it pleases me if knowone else.

Hope he is not still in Japan as it might be a bit of a wrench to come back!

If it is a bolt, he's screwed

I think the big test for NA starts before a ball has been kicked in anger, namely what sort of side he can put together and will it be strong enough to cope with the prem. But imo he deserves some loyalty from the club for a few good years considering how he has turned things round, NC just needs to give him the tools so he can do the job the best he can and the way things are looking NC is doing that.

Didn't know whether to laugh or cry, I decided on the latter. That is the toughest of starts.

To me Upson is not NA type material and as Saint Garrett said "Too slow".

Gutted

None of which we have.

I get annoyed at the pundits, why dont they say it as it really is? There is no way England will win this, we contained today against the French and not much else. We have no threat up front and I also think Joe Hart looked a bit dodgy. I just think that most of our players are overated and only made to look good by being surrounded by good foreign players in the domestic league, Milner for me has got to be a prime example.

Bloody Arsenal always seem to get off to a good start!

Looks mustard!

He looked pretty damn good against us!

Would love this!!!

55 year old here and I am always interested what the new kit is going to look like, I do not exactly shoot one off in my pants over it but I am nevertheless eager to see the kit design for next season. Pin stripe sounds good as personally I feel that the old fashioned stripes look dated.

Agreed!!! Far too much piffle for my liking.

I started this thread in September last year and look at the stick I got! http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?32726-Our-Nigel-for-how-long

Barton makes Mark Dennis look like Emma Bunton.
