John Boy Saint

Come on Diamond join the party

Well done nipper.

Did Adam just say Cambridge have 4 strikers who scored 10 goals each last season?

One nil 😁

Who came on? 🤪

As has been said - Whispering Dave is a hard act to follow - Jo his finding his feet if you’re a regular listener you will probably be use to him once he’s bedded in. He does know some stuff we maybe don’t need to know all of it. on Saturday before Maddison’s goal, he said twice that “I don’t like the look of our wall” and that was from wherever he was sitting up in the stand.

You can’t question TAAs quality, he is one of the 30 nominees for the Ballon d’Or! ……..I nearly redecorated the breakfast table with a generous mist of coffee, when Mrs JBS broke that superb news to me on Saturday morning.

But has just been noted they put a lot of effort into the first 40 minutes and are running out of a bit of steam. let’s hope they wear themselves out

Tonight should be interesting to see if Ten Hag has managed to bang all their heads together or fragmented a team of what looks like a collection of very expensive individuals with their own agendas even more.

That is sad news to put a cloud on the weekend. 😢 One of those players you could rely on. 67 is no age these day - RIP Sir.

You pair must stand for 5 minutes in awe each time you turn a light on in your house Should have just stuck to Liverpool and pointed to their bulging trophy cabinet filled by Shankly and his successors Paisley and Fagin who both stepped up from coaching roles within the club to keep the success story going.

Blimey Leeds v Chelsea has become interesting - absolute howler from Mendy to get the ball rolling

You are totally missing the point of my response to .the comment that was made anyway let just see how this evolves + if it does

It’s not common knowledge that if you are typing on an iPad if you hold the letter requiring the accent for a second the most popular options appear ……….carry on.

My point is in 2 posts the same poster has nailed his colours to the mast saying he hopes Selles isn’t in frame to step up here to the top job. Hoping we go for another “Name” rather than just an assistant coach from the backroom, all the names I mentioned were where Ruben Selles is now back then before they were “famous”. They weren’t names in the game previously - in the case of Nigel and Jose they were backroom boys who were given a chance to step up to the top job - The mention of Potter, no he wasn’t promoted from within at Brighton, but as a “no one” he made his name in Scandinavian football management, which then put him on the radar back home. We all know Ralph is hanging up his spurs in a couple of years time - if Sports Republic hierarchy have spotted the potential in Selles to step up after “serving his apprenticeship” under Ralph then that is a tidy bit of thinking. If that happens in a couple of years is the thinking from certain quarters of the fan base going to be “Cheapskate Saints - promoting a member of the backroom team”? When in fact he has been identified as having the right stuff for the job and a better option than all the other names on the manager merry-go-round. If you can recall back to Martin Semmens talking when Sports Republic took over. There was mention that Ralph’s replacement has already been identified, from a newly promoted team, just about everyone looked towards west London and guessed at one man, given SR’s connections, but not someone behind him with the right attributes to be given the chance. Jose Mourhino was just an interpreter who played a long game to get him to where he is now. There are owners of clubs who likely wrote him off because of what he once was - they probably still muse to themselves “look what I let slip through my fingers”.

I’ll take a couple of bags of what your peddling - my Roses will love it. Your analogy is pants - Potter was very successful in Sweden by being different in how he did stuff, he did well at Swansea catching the eye of Brighton when Houghton was stumbling. You mention our Nige, a goal keeper who got crocked, ended up as a physio at Scunthorpe, who ended up as Caretaker when Brian Laws left, then manager got them promoted twice against the budget and odds - when his name was tossed into ring as Saints manager you were likely one of the many who said “who” (and going on the above added he’s a bloody physio) he rightly has Saintly status at Saints - you on the Saints interview panel would have said “no thanks”. = Saints in the Premier league again possibly on target not 2 years before. if Jose Mourhino walked through the door on Monday morning as our new manager, you will have burned through a pallet of Kleenex Man Sized tissues throwing yourself round the room by lunchtime - like all of the above he had a modest footballing career his route into management evolved through being Bobby Robsons interpreter at Sporting and Porto, he only became an assistant manager, when Robson managed Barcelona - yes THE Barcelona. He then made the step up to management at Leira and Benfica , then ultimately Porto where they were a horrible team to play, he won all sorts including the UEFA Cup. Again going on your comment above, sat on the interview board with “the (pre)special one in front of you” - “it’s a no from me, he’s only an interpreter”. Thomas Frank, who you mention, being honest no bugger had heard of him, for a no one who’s stepped up, he’s weaved some magic at little Brentford. You mention a Koeman-esk name for the hot seat - you speak to any knowledgeable Dutch football supporter and they will all say the same thing - Ronald is the big name, glittering career, a figure head. He is technically astute as a whole Edam - his brother Erwin is the tactician. Here you can substitute Ronald Koeman and insert Gerrard and Lampard in your analogy. As you can tell it hacks me off when someone spouts cobblers about a possible name in the management frame, just because they haven’t featured on FIFA whatever year since it first appeared on PlayStation, equals they stand no chance in your interview process.

I commented on it earlier - but Che Adams winner is a thing of beauty ❤️

I guess if you are looking a bit pants - you don’t want to be sitting in Freeman’s Common waiting to get dive out and home to piddle off your Saturday even more. 🤪 I wonder if due to Covid and little air travel the purse strings have been tightened on the Srivaddhanaprabha family and Leicester City is a frippery that will not go down well with the staff in their duty free business if they splurge out on multi million pound player or two - whilst the entities are separate it doesn’t look good for staff moral if they are seeing cuts. If I have read right they have spent no money in the transfer market.

Not seen him today but against Leeds he ran his legs down to stumps - whilst in the past he has scared the hell out of us at times good to see him knuckling down and stepping up to the plate. When Perraud is back be interesting seeing the pair of them interchanging on the left.

Oh that is obscene!

Oh yes

From my seat it looked a very generous penalty - thought she fell over her own feet and the ref bought it. Happy to be corrected One thing of note from my lofty perch in the Itchen the Euros and the hot weather look to have taken its toll on the pitch.

Yes he was on the VAR that night and rubber stamped Berties early shower

In others news Mike Dean has said his VAR decision was wrong for the hair pull. Bet we have him on VAR v Man Utd

I wonder how many Millwall fans said - “come on let’s go, it’s a long way home” from around 80 minutes?
