the boy from saints

I agree! I don't know why it was like that yesterday - but it helped create a good pre match atmosphere. It was almost like a Northam greatest hits!

Cheers!

I'm probably being a bit thick but what's AFAIK? - bet it's really obvious! Found a link to a potential stream, but to be honest, I'm not very hopeful it'll work... http://livesports-news.blogspot.com/2010/01/southampton-vs-luton-live-online.htmlk look Edit: after further investigation the link looks sh*te. Probably not worth bothering!

The Saints Store in West Keys are selling them at 50p a copy (A3) if that helps?

Brilliant! It's working now- thanks for that!

Yeah! I've got the same bleedin' problem - no email about it either!

I was a bit hacked off with the lateness of the offer! I might have thought about doing it if they had advertised it a few days earlier...most people (incl. myself) would have bought tickets already.

Ha ha! Could hear the song on the internet feed, but couldn't quite work out the words!

For me this is the first time I feel I can revel in the fact that Saints seem to be the real thing for the first time since WGS. I love this post as a positive affirmation as to how good it feels to be a Saints supporter tonight! Life feels good!

You're going to get exterminated soon!

potentially stupid question, but why are we playing on Friday? Are we on the box or something?

I bought 3 X A3 size squad posters from the club shop after the Yeovil match - 50p each. What a great buy! Fixtures and all...and got a Ricky Lambert autograph on 2 of them as well from the open day. Magic!

What was the attendance by the way? Papa looked like the most exciting player here for a while and had the best crowd reaction I can remember since Theo graced St Marys. Is this the first skillful player with pace that we've had since then? The 'Ole's showed how much in control of the game we were in. We didn't have to go mad as we were 2-0 up with no fear of losing. It was such a change to have minimal nerves as the game came to a close! An enjoyable stress free sunny afternoon...how un-Saints like!

Cheers for the updates! Am in Spain and have crap Wifi access! Come on Saints!

finally a saints striker who you can feel confident in scoringa penalty!!!

I too am having techy problems entering my prediction. So can I go for 2-2. Cheers!

Great articulate post which contrasts strongly with negative mutterings on the 4-4-2 thread.

As was quoted earlier the 4-4-2 piece was written before the takeover and pre Pardew, Harding, Murty and Lambert were signed. Pardew stated 2 weeks ago that the season had come 3 weeks to early. Pretty much every other club are more prepared than us. We should be grateful that we have a club and no debt.

Must admit...I miss Cope and the old Radio Hants/The Saint build up and the 'Third Half'. Is there a chance that they'll bring it back (on 'Play' perhaps?).

Yep. Just watching it now!

If we're talking about Cheryl Cole surely we'd be thinking outside and inside the box! Ahem.

Can see us leading up until the 70th-ish minute then they'll score and we'll hit the post a couple of times...1-1. I can feel it in me waters!

To be fair it would have been a different result with Kelvin, Thomas, Gillet, and Rasiak playing. I would have thought it was an opportunity for AP to look at how 'up for it' the more peripheral team players were - and to 'up' Stern's match sharpness.

Wotton (Pen), Patterson, John and Mills (?). Not absolutely sure about Mills though...

We were sat next to Gillet and Thomas who came down to spectate (which I thought was a nice touch). The team started to play once Pardew made his presence known in the Technical area, before then it was a half arsed performance where Salisbury always seemed first to the ball. Most passes went astray and the midfield seemed non existent. The two plus points were that Patterson took his goal well and it was nice to see Stern score again!
