I could have sworn I saw him run over to their fans and do that salute thing he always does. So pretty much the same as he always does when he scores.

 

Makes me laugh when people say players haven't celebrated when they clearly have. Eg Bale against us clearly ran off did his usual make a love heart hand gesture before high fiving team mates - yet he got praise for not celebrating too.

 

Not celebrating to me is scoring then jogging back to your own half head down and not acknowledging anyone.

I wouldn't expect an old player to stand like a statue if they scored, yeah he made a gesture to the Swansea fans, but it was all pretty subdued, he could have made more of a meal of it but he didn't.

Have always rated ND as a fast, skillful winger with an eye for goal. It's a shame he is still not a Saint, his form over the past two seasons has been first class. I thought his post=goal reaction and friendly handshakes with several old team mates at full time showed a bit of class too.

It was Lallana's. He also held out his hands when he scored as though not wanting to celebrate. Respectful. Bale & Walcott did the same...so easy to spot this now. Who's next? Surman?!

 

I agree all three ex Saints players did nothing remotely 'wrong' and all showed the proper level of respect towards their old club with minimal goal celebrations. Surman is nailed on certainty to score against us I suppose, but following the managers example and always looking for the 'positives', then perhaps we should be grateful Chris Baird hasn't joined in - yet.

Part of me wants former players to give it the big one - this season, the lack of celebrations has almost felt like an act of mercy, a refusal to kick a man when he's down.

 

Agreed. Kenwyne Jones running the length of the pitch and doing a swallow dive in front of the Northam would give us something to get our teeth into.

so far Walcott Bale and Dyer have scored against us

Still to score against us Chamberlain, Surman, Delap Baird, Monk, Willimason, Jones, which other ex Saints are still playing in the premiership?

With a goalkeeper that is almost a full team of experienced top level players! (bet they would have had a hatful more than 5 points so far if they played as a team providing we added a reasonable keeper).

 

A good line up (even is there is an excess of wingers and not enough midfielders) of

 

Keeper

Delap Williamson Monk Bale

Wallcot Baird Surman Chamberlain

Jones Dyer

 

Also why is it players we sign rarely score against their old teams? ohh silly me we didnt sign any with premier experience other than Davis!

How long before Beattie is scoring against us for Accrington Stanley?!?!?!

 

On the subject of Dyer i was very impressed with the respect he showed the club despite the insistance on a number of fans booing him! Anybody know the reasoning behind this?? He left at a time when we had to sell due to our financial circumstances, I don't remember anything particularly negative about the situation (petty crime aside)

B0llox. They both muted their celebrations. Clearly they were both happy to score for the teams paying their wages but the celebs were kept to a minimum. Do you want them to go to every Saints player and apologise for netting?

I'm surprised Garry Monk didn't score too...

 

I went to Ayia Napa in 2000 and was drinking with Kevin Davis, Hassan Kashloul, JBT & Deano (rip). Monk was there also but I didn't realise he was a Saints player. Just thought he was one of their friends.
