Nor can I have any pre-match relaxant: no trains so I'll have to drive..

You're making me depressed again...

Mariela? I would think so.. Must be, Turkish seems to be on the thread.

I should just add that I did just type in asterisks so that you could all fill in a word that you deem appropriate.. Mine was 'drat'.;-)

Oh **** no!

I hate you Midfield_General, you're trying to make me depressed, aren't you?! 😉 Just to save me more typing I thought these statements were worth noting: Archer needs to get motivated, Welington certainly has a bit of pace about him, Lallana has been kicked upstairs but of the rest,... I don't even know what they look like!

Lucky b**tard, I've got a bloomin' season ticket..

Fortunately I was busy on Sunday afternoon and couldn't follow the game but I now see that Stewart came on on 83 minutes. Any conclusions to be drawn from his brief appearance?

Two in 11 and nearly a third (says my newspaper). Possibly worse than us then, although Saints could still do a mega disaster in our match there. Is it on telly, it might even entertain the neutrals?

Dunno, but Ballard is 20. 🙂

He used to be, but I think he's actually got fitter. Maybe that's what has led him to getting more minutes recently, unless it's purely Juric's desperation!

Just read a few of the comments and by goodness there are some of you who positively enjoy our shitness. From that game I took some heart that the players were at least trying, Downes in particular was in the game. I'd like to see their goal again; I was actually there and in the ground you don't get replays. The crowd was a lot more positive tonight, in response to the performance.

And you're still givingJuric grief..

By himself? The marking against the Wolves no. 9 would have raised complaints in my Sunday team!

Ok guys, 5 so far, and possibly another soon..

It's a lovely day and I'm sat outside a Soton pub. Wondering how many I need to cope with the match tonight..

Friend of mine is coming in to town to get her hair done and meet me for a drink but isn't going to the match, and she has a _very_ good seat.. My own optimistic nature doesn't extend to hoping for a win or a draw tonight..

Doesn't Chatgtp use parameters set by the user? You should tell your son that getting bored and using shrooms is no way to improve his grades. Plus his professors might suspect something..

Yeah , see you in carriage number 1.. Or I might get some excitement into my life by going early by car and fitting in an IKEA visit: I need some more ziplock bags..

I still have some sympathy. You're assuming the alternatives are any good and _do_ want to be here. He's probably been shocked with the lack of fitness and motivation. The reason Downes hasn't been playing isn't I think due to him not trying but Downes not trying.. That might also apply to some other players. The only thing I'd say is that man-marking wasn't working. When you get the abject marking of ABK against the Wolves CF that really isn't down to the manager but a player who has far too high an opinion of himself and isn't as good as he thinks he is.

You missed my point and I apologise for not making it explicit. I am a Saints fan, ergo I have long known about Adam's inability to hit a barndoor with a banjo. My highlighting the comment was that it was amusing that others are now making the same observation of something we have long known..

Of course not, what a strange conclusion to come to. I'm a Saints fan. But others are now realising..

Bloomin' 'eck, I've just seen a picture of the man himself in the latest training gallery on the OS. He was, gulp, stretching for a ball..

Bit of an assumption that, Trousers? You're assuming that the advice he gave was accepted by the club..

Far too healthy a stool for Saints; far more likely to be a big brown pond of diarhoea or a little black constipated nugget..
