Ewell Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Not for winning against a team we lost to twice last season. Not for winning on the opening day of the season which we have only managed to do once in 14 years before today. No I am very proud because we are bucking the trend by fielding 4 home grown English players produced in our Academy for our first team. It takes some guts to do that especially when 3 of them are just 18 years old. Hats off to Mauricio Pochettino for having the balls to play them and to Nicola Cortese for having this wonderful vision for our club.
S-Clarke Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Here here. Great thread, also makes me very proud. We're doing it the right way.
dubai_phil Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Not only that mate but to have a bunch of drunk Geordies coming up to us in the bar and singing the Rickie Lambert song..... #goingglobal
Noodles34 Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 yeah, well said, don't think NC is kidding when he talks about how Barca have done it.
Olallana Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Just amazing, and they did not only play, they performed great too!
Stepgar Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Wardy's delivery into the box is outstanding i think that is a massive reason why is in. His set ball deliveries are brilliant. that is not undermine his other attributes.
ottery st mary Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 I am soooo proud today:) But tooo be honest I am soooo proud to be a Saints fan EVERY day.. Well done the mighty Saints....the players staff..Uncle Nic AND the wonderful travelling support... COYS
Hockey_saint Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Hehehehe Shaw is in my fantasy football team (along with Super Rickie.....and RVP) Shaw made it into the sky dream team and well....the two upfront didn't let me down either brilliant opening day!

MP and NC may be blow ins, but they sure as hell seem to know what they are doing!
iamasaint Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 I thought Chambers did really well today! He is to us what Luke Shaw was to us last year! It is a great time for us Saints fans!! COYR!!
iamasaint Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 One more thing. The half time stats for possession was insane! It was 67-33 to the saints! Since when have we had so much possession away from home?!
DT Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Wardy's delivery into the box is outstanding Really? I thought that was only part of his game that let him down. Didn't clear first man on couple of corners.
Hedgehog Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 They were far better than Adam and Gastons last year. Obviously he was given the job by the manager as I can't remember Adam taking any set pieces today, could be wrong.
Dig Dig Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 One more thing. The half time stats for possession was insane! It was 67-33 to the saints! Since when have we had so much possession away from home?! Wasn't 2nd half possession stats similar at old trafford last season?
