Just to be a pedant - no, it says players who have played since you've supported saints. Don't have to have actually "seen them".

I was in fifth form at St. Mary's College in Bitterne back in 1969. The Beatles single "The Ballad of John and Yoko" was released at the end on May. The opening line of the song: "Standing in the dock at Southampton; Trying to get to Holland or France ...". Twice every day - to and from school - on the Hythe Ferry, I passed the main Southampton docks servicing the passenger liners.
Every time I hear that song, I think of those wonderful ferry rides across Southampton Water.
There have been two referenda here in which separatists have tried to separate Quebec from the rest of Canada. The first in 1980 was not close (40.44% voted Yes; 59.56% voted No); but the second referendum (in 1995) was extremely close - 49.42% voted Yes, and 50.58% voted No.
Perhaps they're not listening to him anymore? Blackmore and Merrington were musing a few times during the game that Pardew might have "lost the dressing room".
Comfortable win. Exciting new team. How embarrassing for all the pundits and pessimists who wrote us off. We have a settled team already. And there is positive competition for team-places - much more than last season.
Saints - thanks for the big lift; it will be a great week ahead.
