Saint Keef

Just to add to that, I'd still be interested in two single tickets (not sitting together) so if anyone has a single adult ticket - the email is wilburykeef@gmail.com Many thanks again. Obviously in the Saints end......my League Cup Final experience in 1979 still haunts me - having bought from a tout, and ending up in the Nottingham Forest end. Argggghhh

Well, following that fiasco, I didn't make it. I was down from 1 hour 48 mins to 33 mins when it SOLD OUT. Hey Ho! So, it's a long shot I know, but if anybody finds they are "lumbered" with 2 adult tickets, my son (adult) and I would be extremely happy to take them off your hands. Happy to meet at Wembley or pick up from you (Hampshire/Berkshire) prior to Sunday. My email is wilburykeef@gmail.com Many thanks all and best wishes to everyone who was successful. Have a great day.

Maybe I misheard him, it was very loud there, but I thought I heard him say that the result had given him a General Erection!

Haha. Brilliant! I wondered if anyone would pick up on that. Sadly, no I'm not Frannie. Anyway, all sorted with gsweet87 (Thanks very much indeed mate) and I am now going. See you all there!!!!

Hi. If it is still for sale I'd be interested. Initially I wasn't able to go on Friday, but my plans have changed so now I can. I'm happy to meet at St Mary's on Friday prior to kick off if that suits. Not sure how to do PM's on here so my email is wilburykeef@gmail.com If you can send me an email and we can exchange phone numbers, again if that suits you? Cheers

Burnley down then - We'll never know, but I can't help thinking, if they'd offered a more realistic fee for Nathan Tella, they may have still been a a Premier League club tonight? As I say, we and they will never know.

Apparently he tried to steal some spaghetti, but then saw the burly looking female security guard and thought......I'll never get pasta. Boom Boom. I'm here all week.

Carragher (I can't understand a word he says......but I'm guessing it bollocks). Should have been sacked anyway. Hinchcliffe co-commentating (I wish I couldn't understand a word he says.....for an ex-player who was as I recall, an average premiership player at best, he comes across so up his own backside with his "I told you so" know it all attitude, anyone would think he was the love child of Messi and Ronaldo in his day). Every time someone scores, it's always someone fault. Seldom is it just a great goal. Roy Keane - mad as a bucket, but I love watching/listening to him. Anyone who can grow a full beard in about 20 minutes gets my vote! Ally McCoist - very good co-commentator. Right amount of enthusiasm and sensible comment - even if he follows every sentence with "it really was". ie "That was a great pass, it really was". "That was a great save, it really was". Anyway, I like him....."I really do". I notice others have started copying him and doing this as well. Lineker is more a presenter that a pundit, but all I can think of to say is,,,,,Arrrrgggghhhh Nooooooo!!!! I can't watch MOTD anymore because of him. Way too Smarmy for my liking. I was never a fan of Gary Neville as a player, but I actually think he's one of the better co-commentators/pundits. Redknapp Junior. Not for me thank you. Maybe it's that obvious family connection. Micah Richards - I wonder if he'd be where he is if City weren't so dominant. He is extremely biased towards them. Shearer - Generally get a level-headed view from him and is critical of The Toon when it is deserved. Jenas........Why? Lee Dixon - Seems about as interesting as a multi-story car park. Alan Smith - actually I find him ok. Never over the top but quite listenable. I didn't see Deeney's finest hour so can't comment. Sounds like it wasn't great. There you go chaps, that's my summary....."it really is".

Sooner or later Ipswich are going to falter............oh!

Why wait until then?

With Wilcox off to Man Utd, RM probably thinks he's in line for the Man Utd job once Ten Hag goes, hence his comments. He's certainly seems arrogant enough to think that. "The Next Pep". Personally I wouldn't be disappointed if he does leave - only my opinion, but I don't like his "tippy tappy" boring style. His arrogant nature, to me anyway, doesn't suit the Southampton way. I admit, I was never a great fan of Steve Cooper at Forest, but the more I think about it, I believe he would be a really good fit at Southampton. He has proved himself in this league, gets the players and supporters on his side, seems tactically astute, plays a more direct and to me, exciting style, works well with the youngsters and doesn't come across as too arrogant and, at the same time, seems a genuine and quite humble guy and for me, more suited to "the Southampton way". To be honest I think Forest pulled the trigger too early with him and may live to regret it. Anyway, that's my thought for the day....he said, waiting to be shot down in flames.

Thank you guys for your contributions to this link. I didn't know him and I didn't know about him so I've learned a lot tonight. I do recall that someone was posting here during the Sala incident, who clearly had aviation experience and knowledge. It's good to tie up the loose ends. Thanks again for the posts here and RIP to one of our own.

Seems like the light show and firework display has started a tad early.

Mate, It's probably worth a fiver just to see Leeds not winning!

What are you going to spend your winnings on?...........Oh!

Right.....based on the fact that "kids never win anything" I've gone for "extreme experience" and our strongest possible line-up..... Saint Garret (sorry mate - no idea if you've ever played in goal, but we're only playing a bunch of kids) Hypo - Trousers - Whitey Grandad - Convict Colony CB Fry - Saint Keef (If my knees hold up!) Turkish - Pamplemouse - Holmes & Watson (that maybe two players....they'll never notice) Sue Whistle (sorry mate - no idea if you've ever played as a lone striker, but give it go. We're only playing a bunch of kids) For those of you who didn't make this team, you are still valuable members of the squad and I'm sure your opportunity will come. COME ON YOU SAINTS!!!!

Liverpool's injury list apparently growing....Not sure how much of a difference it will make when push comes to shove, but I guess every little helps. TAA, Alisson, Curtis Jones, Jota, all pretty long term injuries according to Klopp. They have a Carabao Cup Final to play and then Klopp's priority in his final season surely must be the league. Can he risk any more injuries against Saints in the FA Cup? Time will tell.

I thought his composure when he scored against WBA spoke volumes. It was clinical. There are others in our squad who (I believe) would have tried to shoot first time, without taking that extra touch and would have had it blocked or skewed it wide. Anyway, we'll never know, but well done young Brooksie m'lad!

Roy Hodgson steps down as Palace manager....with dignity (as always with Roy). Also Michael Beale sacked at Sunderland after 12 games. And Tony Mowbray temporarily stepping away at Birmingham due to health reasons.

If they're saying that about JWP, what are they saying about Kalvin Phillips?

Luton staying up at the expense of Everton would be.......very satisfactory indeed! Sheff Utd and Burnley look like they'll be the other two to drop.

Sorry Toussaint, I was "editing" my post when you replied. I think I may have covered your point. Cheers.

Can we get Shane Long back for this one? We'll soak up pressure for 89 minutes, only for Shane to race away and score an unlikely winner in the dying seconds. Meanwhile, somewhere in the Great Beyond, the diminutive figure of Bobby Stokes rushes onto a through ball and neatly slots it home beyond an advancing Alex Stepney in goal. Still meanwhile. Somewhere in the Austrian Alps, a nattily dressed chap (in stylish waistcoat) watches the action unfold on a dodgy ITV feed, and upon hearing the final whistle drops to his knees, weeping at the utter joy of it all. This sort of thing doesn't happen in real life.......or does it? Right - back to bed - the drugs are wearing off.

I never have much luck at the bookies, but I've got a feeling things are about to change. I've just put £10 on Saints to win 2-0 tomorrow........with Brooks to score first.

You'll Never Walk Alone.............unless we're losing and then we'll leave a bit earlier.
