East Kent Saint

I wasn't suggesting Cardiff don't have to pay just that it was badly timed with the search in progress . I thought both clubs should have shown a bit more professionalism especially after the respect shown before the Cardiff game. That was all .

Nantes want their cash now ! How dim is that ??

Looking forward to a fully fit Bertie

It wasn't Crouches first foul in the box ! but watching the penalty decision over again I'm not surprised the ref gave it . However their penalty looked like it would be given but ...... Perhaps a new law is required as so many players are looking for pens , several on MotD this weekend . Great goal by Redmond and good attempt by JWP with a header . ( and England won the rugger at last!)

Well done Saints for getting an away point that was nearly 3 !!! I thought we were getting 0 today so we’ll done again !

Or you could say he couldn’t hack it so took it easy ! But all forgiven by beating Bournemouth!

Perhaps he's not mentally fit yet , I wonder about goalkeepers , Carson was thrown into the deep end for England and due to a bobble of the ball off the pitch let in a goal that meant England fail to qualify , since then he went downhill but is still playing at a lower level. Hart was England No1 as well as Man C but now he can't get a game for Burnley.

It still begs the question "why on earth would you let a £15M asset make his own way via a tin pot plane/pilot etc " It is also beyond belief that a player on £40K a week would try to drive himself home after 10 pints and 12 cocktails but what do I know ?

I thought part of the rumour was that FF had agreed to reduced pay while he was ill , when does that end or is it still the case ?? or was it a red herring ?

Wanyama was good a few years ago but can’t get a game . I remember his passing quality ie poor and his attitude when he thought he could do better so no not wanted back at St Mary’s.

On MOTD , which is one of the few I’ve looked forward to , it looked like Long’s chip was going wide ! Thanks to The keeper it went in ! But fantastic , can’t understand why Huddersfield pen was cancelled but if you are in the bottom 12 you are ......

Dembele has had a foot injury and found the prem a bit too tough , he's looking forward to semi retirement in China , so not a good buy for Saints ! (source Guardian)

The Guardian says we blew all the transfer budget on Hughes's pay off so not too many prem quality players to be expected . .

We use West Quay multi (after the Cineworld became paying and max 4hrs) , usually costs £5 , which includes time for lunch as well as match .

Good to see a manager with an open mind when selecting the team and using substitutes.

Tadic was brilliant for those last few games , 2 goals v Bournemouth made us all happy , rare at St Mary’s last season . I suspect he was a. glad MP2 had gone and b. Willing to try hard as his wish to leave for a small fee to join his club of choice was granted.

2 goals again and a point ! Woohoo !

It also said that Gao is NOT putting any money in therefore any signings / manager replacement compensation would be funded by player sales only SO no new players or manager coming any time soon !!!!

The mentality of the team is normal for a side that can't win a game , as seen before over numerous years at any level of a team game .

Austin's rant was a product of his poor form and knowing he is on the way out , he was only a £4M stopgap signing that turned into long term stay !!!!

Defending yesterday was poor , never mind about "high press" what about a bit of pressure / challenging when in our own half ? If we get a new manager let's hope he can sort the defense out , meanwhile what a poor finish by Gabbi , more like a back pass to the keeper !

Apart from his lack of height so can't defend a high ball , yesterday he just stood around in the box and failed to notice or even attempt to challenge their attackers as they scored . His contribution was to wave his arms about after the ball went in our net . This applied to the other "defenders" as well who stood around watching the man with the ball and failing to get any sort of challenge in !!!

Doesn't matter if "you" are obsessed !!!

Fonte was slowing down at Saints , his late challenges got later . He hit the heights with his international career but when he came back things got worse and he left for WHU where his decline continued . He is now in a league that may suit him and I hope he enjoys the end of his career , which was not going to happen in the Prem .

Pardew's sacking was clouded in mystery , stories about players wives etc at Saints plus stories about his mate Derek Llambias who ran Newcastle and casinos in London led to Pardews appointment at NUFC despite a 5% approval by NUFC fans .
