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

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!!

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.

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 :D

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.

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!!

You must be a regular love machine! Incidentally, my wife couldn't name any footballer bar David Beckham I reckon.

Guessing it was one of those "you had to be there" moments, eh?

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.

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.

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......

Which game FFS? You must have been holidaying in LA for well over a year for her to even find a name remotely resembling Papa Mango :)

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

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.

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.

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"....

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!

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!
