John Boy Saint

Just flipped the page to the City players - we certainly did a job on them.

Good on him, journos do ask some lame questions along the way. Being a native English speaker there is no chance of their cobblers being lost in translation, and if he gets us dug out of our present situation hopefully he can start handing back some of the BS written about him in recent weeks.

Think that was closely followed by Grealish body check Moussa then making out it was an accident going to apologise and Lyanco shoving him away - honk Grealish thought we had gotten rid of our hitman - but no they have another with a bit more crazy in his eyes. He read that cross field pass so well to intercept and was well on the way to a great assist whilst Grealish and Foden were still analysing who was at fault.

You just have to look at our position on that 92 club league table - like the man said last night I’m not David Blaine. Dunno who he’s fooling ‘cos he pulled a bloody big rabbit out of the hat last night. You can drill them until the cows come home in training, but you won’t learn very much until you are facing live opposition with live ammunition. Something good to see from last night was City players getting the arse with each other as the game wore on - think the last time I saw that was when we beat them fresh into Pochs tenure ………. Harry Reed chasing down Aguero in the latter stages, turning to the bench with “who is he” and “what do I do”. Jones being spiky back at “us” - if he makes this team equally or more spiky I’ll buy into that.

If he has it in his locker make use of it - pretty sure on the commentary they said that young Gavin is one of the top, on stats, for distribution. McCarthy hits the left wing consistently in pre match warm up on the kick out - as soon as the game starts that same kick out is persistently threatening Mrs Miggins hot flask of Tea in row C of the Kingsland.

Maybe it just means Xtremely Gullible

That was immense tonight - I’m exhausted Work stopped me going tonight - work stops me for the 2nd leg Hmmmmmm

Saints v Newcastle

Whoooooossssshhhhh! Sorry mate couldn't resist..............just mind the catch on that trapdoor! 😁🙃

All Portuguese will tell you Spanish is very poor Portuguese 😁 For both, each written is easier to decipher than spoken - main thing is Jones will be able to communicate in football Spanish.

If all else fails just before sun up put him in a rubber dinghy just off Weston Shore and call the Sea Police - all be done and dusted by teatime.

Not a footballer, I thought TV’s Claire Balding being a Saints fan popped up a couple of seasons back.

Certainly pulled Wurzel Holloways tail that day 🤣🤣 “I don’t think they should be quite so disrespectful, maybe they’re a little bit jealous of the fact a little club like Blackpool can do it and Southampton have fallen from grace.”

Stevenage on the verge at Villa

Jeez - hope they use up all their goals this afternoon - they are like a hot knife through butter v Chelsea.

Trouble is both teams have to agree on the ticket price - when we played Shrewsbury a few years ago they initially refused us doing cheap tickets to get bums on seats, insisting on £25 minimum and relented at £20 I think, and the gate reflected their greed.

That’ll do Blackpool

Funnily enough Dean wouldn’t have the final decision on the offside, that’s in the hands of the VAR line official. I only found that out during a game v Spurs at SMS - the 2 seats next to me are occupied by a ST holder who only turns up now and again other times guests use them. Kane had scored and a VAR check was called upon I uttered to Mrs JBS that whoever the often against us contentious VAR ref was, would be trying to make this stand. That weeks “guest” pipes up “VAR Ref has no say in offsides, it’s the line officials decision” “anyway, I know the Lino on this game and he’s a Arsenal fan so you will be getting a fair crack of the whip”: decision offside. Turns out the chap was a referee who had officiated as high as the championship, the remainder of the game was quite enlightening in his company.

Great result

Hope that’s not Woods head in Southampton with that attempt!

Martin Keown is getting annoying Yesssssss what a goal

Well that was a pleasant surprise - listened on Solent while I knocked up French Onion soup from scratch - turned out as good as the result. Second half made a change to hear Adam and Jo being positive

Happens every game even before NJ - that’s pick of the toys he has in the box, which shows exactly where we are.

Going on the last few games - anywhere he fancies I'd imagine 🙃

ARE?
