Goal and assist in his debut, and perhaps getting us ready for his celebration songs, the commentator calls him "Sugar-wara" throughout... (fifth and sixth goals )

Just following up on this ! FB page is still alive https://www.facebook.com/SaintsInJapan I'm jon.lynch@j-global.com these days. Ping me if anyone wants to watch Saints games in Japan. Seems more Japanese players soon so the pubs should be showing us more....

Great ideas here everyone. Actually I added Maroon 5 so I could post a "top 10" on https://www.facebook.com/SaintsInJapan ... here you go... ------------ Top 10 Sugawara Saints Terrace songs: Yukinari Sugawara seems about to sign a four year deal as new Southampton player according to his previous team AZ today – and now fans are planning his terrace tune. Greeted as “a cracking deal “ on saintsweb community, they are planning songs to serenade Yukinari Sugawara onto the pitch, and to celebrate when he breaks up an attack or scores. In the UK, not every player gets a song. Football fans try out different songs and if everyone joins in, that becomes a player’s song. Notably recently Joe Aribo got “Gold” by Spandau Ballet – which also gets played over the sound system: https://www.tiktok.com/@matchdayvlogs/video/7317292951854386464 For Sugawara, there seem to be lots of “sugar” related tunes - although fans know it’s not an identical pronunciation to “Suga”.

This stream is working ok right now http://www.hesgoal.com/news/87101/Manchester_City_vs_Southampton.html and earlier this was ok but froze https://hd-streams.live/?channel=1

Loved that game. Whole team great, and nice to see Redmond back to his best. If Ralph can get them brave, positive and using their automisms during the next few weeks, maybe we could go on another end of season run in the league?
