dune Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1988094,00.html **** it, i'm gonna get a flag on the way to the stadium.
alpine_saint Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 I have no idea what colour Carlisle play in - are we already confirmed to be playing in red-and-white for the JPT final ?
Saint_clark Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 I gotta get a home shirt just for this, and probably a flag as well. Just for the sake of it.
Saint_clark Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 I have no idea what colour Carlisle play in - are we already confirmed to be playing in red-and-white for the JPT final ? Yeah, they play in blue.
dune Posted 9 March, 2010 Author Posted 9 March, 2010 I gotta get a home shirt just for this, and probably a flag as well. Just for the sake of it. Mine arrived through the post this morning. It's the first one i've bought in years and ironically it'll be out of dat next season. £47.50 if you buy online and go for the gold JPT comemortative stuff too.
Arizona Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 There is no force on heaven or Earth that would get me to buy this years home shirt. That logo is just appaling. Might treat myself to a flag though. Go nuts, rock 'n' roll and all that.
The9 Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 I have no idea what colour Carlisle play in - are we already confirmed to be playing in red-and-white for the JPT final ? The only issue would appear to be Carlisle's socks being white with red turnovers, suggesting one side will play in red socks (all red is Carlisle's away kit, unhelpfully, and we've played in red socks at Bristol Rovers already this season to avoid sock-clashing). You really don't even know what colour they play in ? I was about 7 when I committed all the colours of FL clubs to memory with my league ladders. I'm quite surprised at that, though I do have those kind of tendencies...

Might treat myself to a flag though. Go nuts, rock 'n' roll and all that. I actually think our current home shirt is one of the best in a long time. You get used to the flybe patch, which I agree, is poor.

As someone who owns at least 2 of all of our shirts from every season since about 2001, I think you're insane for paying that. Does look like they're using the JPT to try and avoid desperately flogging the kit off at £10 a chuck come Easter this time though, which has been the policy for the last 10 years.

Marcus Liebherr has done a lot this club, so i don't mind giving something back.
The9 Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 Marcus Liebherr has done a lot this club, so i don't mind giving something back. Still, £47 for a home shirt that we'll only be wearing another 9 times and only once with the appropriate commemorative print, when they're usually 50% off by now ?

Saint_clark Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 I'll only be wearing it once, and i'll pay whatever it is in store. The only other home shirt I have that fits me has Pele on the back. No way am I wearing that near other Saints fans.
Sour Mash Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 Grown men should not be seen carrying flags unless it's for their kids. Only exceptions to this are the proper, big St George's crosses or old school Union Jacks, bound to be plenty of them coming out for Wembley.

Sorry Mr Fashion police Whenever i've seen thousands of flags being waved at Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool in the CL, or at Wembley it has looked immense.
Saint_clark Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 Do you mean Union Flags? Indeed. Unless Wembley is being set out to sea for this game?

Oh if you say so, god I nearly made a right tit of myself. Thank god you stopped me!
Saints foreva Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 I really want to get a nice red and white scarf with no pathetic Saints logo stitched in. Can't find one though.
beatlesaint Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 The only other home shirt I have that fits me has Pele on the back. No way am I wearing that near other Saints fans. Oh dear, you had high hopes for him then. Where is he now ? Scotland isnt it ?
Saint_clark Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 Oh dear, you had high hopes for him then. Where is he now ? Scotland isnt it ? I just wanted a shirt that said Pele on the back He plays for Falkirk now.
saint lard Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 Will stick to my 1975 retro red and white stripes. This seasons home shirt is the first i have not bought in years,as it is attrocious imo.
dune Posted 9 March, 2010 Author Posted 9 March, 2010 I really want to get a nice red and white scarf with no pathetic Saints logo stitched in. Can't find one though. Knit one you lazy b*****d.
niceandfriendly Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 I really want to get a nice red and white scarf with no pathetic Saints logo stitched in. Can't find one though. Something like this? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Brand-New-Red-and-White-Scarf-Wally-Waldo_W0QQitemZ180476442692QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAdult_Fancy_Dress_UK?hash=item2a053bf844 (home knitted! Can't get any better than that, surely? ) Failing that: http://www.footballheaven.net/acatalog/Red_and_White_Scarf.html
Arizona Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 I actually think our current home shirt is one of the best in a long time. You get used to the flybe patch, which I agree, is poor. Each to their own I guess. The ghastly plastic sticker on the front is enough to put me off on it's own, but I don't like the mis-matched shoulders either. I know it's "supposed to look like that" but you could say the same about Ian Dowie. Looking forward to two new shirts next season. Not fussed on the yellow bikini either TBH.

The away shirt this year is gorgeous. My favourite shirt for a long time.

Barry the Badger Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 I really want to get a nice red and white scarf with no pathetic Saints logo stitched in. Can't find one though. The bloke outside the King Alfred after home games sells plain red and white striped scarves for £5
Window Cleaner Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 The away shirt this year is gorgeous. My favourite shirt for a long time. although I'm not sure that our results with it are particularly great. Anyone sad enough to have any stats on that?

It's the first one i've bought in years and ironically it'll be out of dat next season. £47.50 if you buy online and go for the gold JPT comemortative stuff too. You realise it is the JPT and not the Champions League final right? Think I'll just stick to the 'no colours' look.
georgeg Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 You realise it is the JPT and not the Champions League final right? Think I'll just stick to the 'no colours' look. ffs - what difference does it make if its the JPT or the Champions league final - red and white shirt worn with pride - I want people to know I support Southampton not hide the fact it takes all sorts I suppose but can you guess which looks more spectacular when seen en masse?
scott_saints Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 I'm going casual and taking a massive stone island flag which says "RUN AWAY" on it.
Andy_Porter Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 I'd consider wearing one of those polo shirts if they weren't so boring. I doubt i'll bother wearing any southampton gear, might get a red polo shirt from somewhere if I can be arsed.
The Cat Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 I only own one Saints shirt, and that was bought about 5 years ago in the sale for £10 and is now lurking somewhere in the back of the cupboard. I'd never wear it to a football match. Doesn't really bother me that people can't tell what team I support from the clothes I wear. Just like they can't tell what music I like or what books I've read. I'd rather spend £30 on a match ticket and a few beers than an overpriced shirt. Might buy a big Saints foam hand though. Anyone know where I can get one?
The Cat Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 I'm going casual and taking a massive stone island flag which says "RUN AWAY" on it. Superb. Mine says "JOG ON". They'll look great hung up at Wembley.

I'm quite surprised at that, though I do have those kind of tendencies... Saints have been given "HOME" status at Wembley!
latter day saint Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 was planning to take my massive St.George flag (big enough to cover a car)with Saints badge in a corner but the missus has told me she thinks it ended up at the dump last clear out ! :smt093 will have to make do with my sons inflatible Saints mascot hand thingy
diggers Posted 9 March, 2010 Posted 9 March, 2010 The bloke outside the King Alfred after home games sells plain red and white striped scarves for £5 We're just tying up a deal with him to have exclusive sales rights inside Silverspoons, so if you've got a ticket for Siverspoons then you can buy one while you're there, no point carrying stuff on trains or coaches unnecessarily! If you've not got a ticket for Silverspoons yet, visit http://www.coyr.co.uk
The9 Posted 10 March, 2010 Posted 10 March, 2010 Saints have been given "HOME" status at Wembley! I'm aware of this, doesn't mean anything if Carlisle can't change without clashing.
SNSUN Posted 10 March, 2010 Posted 10 March, 2010 I think most Saints fans already have their colours - I go to the games in my Saints shirt, hat and scarf, and never forget giving Matt Le Tiss a good rubbing/kiss, and that's what I'll be doing again at Wembley. I'm at the Hartlepool game the week before so I MAY pick up a foam finger from the Megastore...
alpine_saint Posted 10 March, 2010 Posted 10 March, 2010 Saints have been given "HOME" status at Wembley! Doesnt the home team play in their away kit in the Champions League or something ???
Saint_clark Posted 10 March, 2010 Posted 10 March, 2010 I'm aware of this, doesn't mean anything if Carlisle can't change without clashing. Which they won't. They play in blue. Did someone up the page suggest WE would have to swap kits because their home SOCKS are red stripes? F*ck off.
LA77 Posted 10 March, 2010 Posted 10 March, 2010 Anyone know how much them big foam hands are? I wanna give my missus a good fisting with it
Arizona Posted 10 March, 2010 Posted 10 March, 2010 Anyone know how much them big foam hands are? I wanna give my missus a good fisting with it You want to be careful with that. Those foam hands absorb a lot of moisture, your missus could get dehydrated.
saint_stevo Posted 10 March, 2010 Posted 10 March, 2010 if anyone in front of my is waving a flag and getting it in my way, i will snap it off and cram it into theire rectum
dune Posted 10 March, 2010 Author Posted 10 March, 2010 if anyone in front of my is waving a flag and getting it in my way, i will snap it off and cram it into theire rectum Are you the new bad boy saints?
Give it to Ron Posted 10 March, 2010 Posted 10 March, 2010 if anyone in front of my is waving a flag and getting it in my way, i will snap it off and cram it into theire rectum Can you tell me where your sitting and I will make sure we wave ours.....don't smudge our face paint will you.
Saint_clark Posted 10 March, 2010 Posted 10 March, 2010 This is how cup finals should look. What are those big things being waved around? They look like flags to me. FFS, how embarrassing.
