modern matron Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 I am in LA for hols my missus identifed the following: In goal "Dave", in defence "fontenblain"' in midfield "schneidin", and up front "Papa Mango". She did know Rickie Lambert and Lallana. By the way she had no idea about positions......
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 (edited) My fiance came out with a classic after the Boxing day game: "That Guly del Peado did well didn't he?!" Then again, I bet I couldn't came the last however many poet laureates. Edited 16 January, 2012 by Thorpe-le-Saint
Cascadia Saint Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 I am in LA for hols my missus identifed the following: In goal "Dave", in defence "fontenblain"' in midfield "schneidin", and up front "Papa Mango".

Cascadia Saint Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 Bored of the golden globes so asked the wife. She replied with: Ricky lambert, 'there used to be a matt letissier', Jose fonte, Kelvin Davis, Alan Lallana, but I think she was cheating with my iPhone...
dubai_phil Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 I'm in trouble. Thought it would be a wheeze to call future Mrs D_P up and ask her... "I'm with a customer at the moment can I do it later?" No now it's important "OK well Lambert, Guly....." Burst of laughter in the distance followed by another voice saying "what about Lambert's Goolies?" End of conversation was "you bastard" and gales of laughter
sussexsaint Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 Papa Mango - real LOL moment Almost as much as the use of DP
angelman Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 I am fairly sure that my Mrs would know only one - MLT.
suewhistle Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 Turner, Peach, Rodriques, Steele,Blyth......
Avenue Saint Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 Cool thread lol Just did spot check on my missus. She got 'kelvin Davis' in goal, couldnt remember any players playing 'near the goal', prompted her about midfielders and we got 'schneiderlin' 'lallana' and 'Hammond', finally she mentioned 'Connolly', 'Lambert' and 'Guly Diego'! Lol @ papa mango!!
suspect everyone Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 Occasionally ask girlfriend to name Saints players, if only to give myself a cheap laugh. Adam Luvlies instead of Adam Lallana was a good one. She once succcesfully named Stern John, but let herself down slightly by asking why people thought he was stern...as in angry. So with this logic he could be have been called Angry John or Disgruntled John. Brilliant. To her credit she does know some of the words to Ricky Lambert Goal machine, but only because I sing it around the house.
ant Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 My girlfriend is an absolute 'saint' - converted mind. Apparently supported Liverpool when she was younger but in the past few years has been completely won over. She knows all of the players' names, can put most of them to faces and could probably run through most of our common chants as well. Spouts a lot less ****e about football than most on here actually
Barry the Badger Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 My gf came to a game recently for the first time, halfway through she turned to me and having heard his chant, asked "which one is Adam the Llama?"
The9 Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 My wife's an ST holder who I regularly quiz about squad numbers to ensure she's up to speed, and she saw Poolis play for the reserves once when they thrashed Salisbury and nevertheless noted his crapness. Sorry I can't help out here.
dingbattigger Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 Mrs D supports Liverpool but strangely can name more saints players, past and present, than Liverpool one's. Told her she should just give up this Liverpool cr*p
pap Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 Depressingly and somewhat predictably, the missus is only able to name Rickie Lambert, and I suspect that is because he is from Liverpool.
Dr Who? Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 My wife could name most of the players between 2001, and 2005 as we both had season tickets. Now she would not have a clue apart from Lambert and Lalana. She is off the ball when it comes to football and Saints, and it has really become my thing again, which I am more than happy about!!
Cricketphilly Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 My wife's an ST holder who I regularly quiz about squad numbers to ensure she's up to speed, and she saw Poolis play for the reserves once when they thrashed Salisbury and nevertheless noted his crapness. Sorry I can't help out here. You must be a regular love machine! Incidentally, my wife couldn't name any footballer bar David Beckham I reckon.

No now it's important "OK well Lambert, Guly....." Burst of laughter in the distance followed by another voice saying "what about Lambert's Goolies?" End of conversation was "you bastard" and gales of laughter Guessing it was one of those "you had to be there" moments, eh?
dubai_phil Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 In defence of the other half though, she did come up with this one a few weeks ago Ooh if he;s hurt his knee again does that mean Chappers wil be back to see your knee Doc? Do we need to stalk him for his autograph?

Do we need to stalk him for his autograph? It's certainly a good story.
wireframebox Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 I think I might get Papa Mango on the back of my shirt.

Ken Tone Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 Jesus! This thread is like being transported back to the 50's in a time machine. My wife is a Saints ST holder like me, has been attending football matches regularly since she was a girl, for over 40 years, and is more keen to watch any random game that just happens to be on TV than I am.
The9 Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 You must be a regular love machine! Well yeah...
MongoNeil Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 My missus, being a psychologist, loves all the stuff that Adkins does in terms of motivation (four positives for every negative and all that). The other day she text me to try and cheer me up (I was having one of those days at work) and said "what would Nigel Pardrew do?". It did cheer me up but not for the reasons she thought.
kpturner Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 I bet I couldn't came the last however many poet laureates.Eh?

You must have been holidaying in LA for well over a year for her to even find a name remotely resembling Papa Mango
The Cat Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 My other half has little interest in football, although does know a few Saints players just because I bang on about them too much in conversations that normally start with me saying, "look I know you don't care but I'm telling you this anyway...." She's been to 3 games. we lost the lot. One was at Anfield and the only thing she remembers about it was Heskey and Lundekvam having a scuffle down in front of us and the Saints fans singing "Emile Heskey, what a wanl
Asaint4ever Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 What a brilliant thread I aint laughed so hard in ages! I'm gonna test my other half later.
SuperMikey Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 My Dad and I took my Mum to her first Saints game last season, the last home game against Walsall. She actually did pretty well with the names, and she still asks me when Arsenal are on the telly if Chambo is playing. F*cking LOL @ Papa Mango!
Hatch Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 If I asked my ex-wife , I think she would say Beckham , Rooney and Gary Lineker.
Window Cleaner Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 Wife wandered through the lounge when I was watching the game last Saturday. "Ah c'est Saints" said she,"Est ce qu'il y a le petit français qui est mignon" and that's about all she knows.Mind you I don't encourage her to watch sport,always gets into conspiracy theories about refs. Watching World Cup rugby with her was a bit of a pain in the butt.
SNSUN Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 My missus comes with me to Saints games on occassion, (despite being a Norwich fan), so knows our players. Her favourite current player is Richard Chaplow, before that it was Michail Antonio. I'm assuming she likes them for their delightful attacking flair, rather than the way they look.
Dog Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 I would ask my wife, but I'd have to dig her up first, and the ground is too frozen at the moment.
Wade Garrett Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 I would ask my wife, but I'd have to dig her up first, and the ground is too frozen at the moment. I'm sorry for your loss, but I have just ****ed myself laughing.
Liquidshokk Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 De ridder, guly, lambert, Davis, Bart, hereiderson (nearly slapped her for that mistake), that lad who went to arsenal; aron?! ... Not bad considering she supports Pompey!!
Secret Site Agent Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 Papa Mango!!!!!!!!! I can't beat that but I'll ask her this evening.
SNSUN Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 De ridder, guly, lambert, Davis, Bart, hereiderson (nearly slapped her for that mistake), that lad who went to arsenal; aron?! ... Not bad considering she supports Pompey!!Slap her anyway!
LGTL Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 My mrs is Irish and needless to say knew nothing about Saints before she met me. She could probably name the starting 11 now, and absolutely loves it. I won't let her go very often though, once a season if she is lucky, and I mean very lucky. Saying all that, we were watching MOTD recently and Man Utd were on, and she asked me a question about "Jason Park"....
david in sweden Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 My gf came to a game recently for the first time, halfway through she turned to me and having heard his chant, asked "which one is Adam the Llama?"[/QUOTE] obviously the one in the mohair suit, silly !
david in sweden Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 some of you guys are skating on thin ice....making fun of the spouse at home may be OK in your life... but going on line with it ! ...ouch (brave men).
david in sweden Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 I am in LA for hols my missus identifed the following: In goal "Dave", in defence "fontenblain"' in midfield "schneidin", and up front "Papa Mango". She did know Rickie Lambert and Lallana. By the way she had no idea about positions...... Ah, but does she understand the ..." offside rule " ?
Robsk II Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 Mine doesn't know any yet, and frankly, I'm glad about it.
StDunko Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 I asked Mrs StDunko: Jos (cant remember his surname, something foreign) and Danny Fox (but she only got these two because we saw them in the Sushi place in West Quay last Monday and I told her who they were, but she did well to remeber). She also got Ricky Lambert from the current squad. She did also say Matt Le Tissier and James Beattie used to play for us. Not bad effort methinks for someone who has only been to three Saints games and the last one was three years ago!
SaintAndy14 Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 I am in LA for hols my missus identifed the following: In goal "Dave", in defence "fontenblain"' in midfield "schneidin", and up front "Papa Mango". She did know Rickie Lambert and Lallana. By the way she had no idea about positions...... Get out while you can!
Islander Posted 16 January, 2012 Posted 16 January, 2012 Can I join in with your sexist game?? I asked my HUSBAND to name Saints players - he came up with 7 stuttering all the way. I managed 18 of his lot (2 without first names) but still managed to forget Aguero! Like Ken Tone's wife I am Saints ST holder, been going over 40 years and watch any game on TV. We do exist you know!
