Fonte loves this club...!!!

Yeah, if we can get promoted I think he will be here for a long time.

 

In Lallana, Fonte, Chambo etc we could finally be breeding some players who will have a long term affiliation like Matty and Doddsy did. Feels like we could be on the brink of developing a real team character and spirit again after years of constant change since WGS left.

After we scored the 3rd goal, he was on his knees with his head in hands!! showed great passion today.

 

Was good to see him just show how much it meant to him, like celebrating on his own.

 

If you look at the gallery on the OS Lambert shows similar passion !

Butterfield was decent yesterday but he was totally ball watching for their 2nd goal.

 

I don't think he was so much ball watching, but he virtually invited the lad to shoot as he showed him far too much of the goal.

 

That said, it did take a slight deflection and Davies should still have saved it at his near post.

I wasn't a Pardew fan but think he really did well for us in terms of the players he brought in. Fonte, Lambert, Jaidi, Hammond, Harding and Butterfield have all been good on the pitch as player but also seem to have excellent attitudes as honest professionals. It's really easy to support this team at the moment.

Whatever you thought of Pardew, he was top notch at getting decent players in. Fonte is my favourite player. If we fail to get promoted the saddest thing for me will be losing a player of his obvious class.

 

It used to make me chuckle when people on here were speculating that we'd be getting Coppell in as DoF. Surely the wrong way round...

Tbf to Butterfield he didn't get much help from the midfield. I thought he had a decent game before the substitution.

 

You mean apart from getting skinned for the umpteenth time and allowing the shot for the second goal ??

 

...... Which, at his NEAR post, Davis should have had covered

I was right behind the line of the shot, and IMHO, the "deflection" was very slight. It simply allowed Adkins to "deflect" away from the fact that it was rank bad keeping to let one in at the near post

I saw this earlier and was very impressed with the passion! Shows that the players really care about the club which makes a change!

 

This has been a real plus this season. I think it started to come together last season but the belief and willingness to fight for the cause this season has been brilliant. It's imperative that we go up this season so we can keep thr nucleous of this squad together.

Fonte is my top player by a mile. As much as I love Lallana he has games where he gets a bit lost, where as Fonte just takes the f*****g **** every single time he plays. He was a stand out defender in the championship, i'm still amazed to this day that we managed to sign him.

 

Spot on. He is pure class.

I saw Jose Fonte today....he was in the car in front coming out of Ikea...A nice sporty Merc with a number plate that makes it clear it is him...i over took him to find out..and it was him.

 

in true SWF/saints fan fashion, I got my chance to boo him for any furture poor performance he may put in...the ****
