Saints Stuff

Long is our best striker at the moment and it's a no brainer that he starts.

 

Rubbish keeper....

In a footballing desert, an interesting article about the fact that we are top for headed goals due to our increased number of crosses. Koeman said we had been working on this after the first game of the season.

 

Lesson 29 will be how to avoid heading straight at the keeper...

 

I completely agree with the sentiment - there are a lot of "can'ts" in the message. Mind you, there are a lot of can'ts in government. Or am I simply poor at spelling?

 

That's how Shane Long scores all his goals!

Article wondering if Newcastle should have kept Forster. Passed me by that he started at Newcastle.

 

Bastard

 

Look at those suckers still taking part in the cup competitions this week

 

Happy birthday Claus!! Does anyone know how he's doing these days? I know he had some alcohol/cocaine demons.

 

Hee hee, I was there for that goal ... in the Wolves stand

 

WGS made a comment comparing a dead body lying in the opposition penalty area and Claus's goal threat. I think he said there was marginally more chance of the ball hitting the dead body and going in rather than Claus scoring.

WGS has a cutting wit. Love him for it, and other things too. Happy Birthday Claus.

 

Pundit on Norwegian footy, isn't he?

 

Found the quote. I miss Gordon Stachan.

He said if there was a dead body lying in the penalty area the ball would hit it on the head several times a season which he said is more than Lundekvam can manage. He said referees should book Lundekvam for timewasting every time he goes up for a corner

If you fancy reading a few more try this. Very amusing.

forgot about that little gem, good find

 

Saints quotes are Comedy gold "Velocity!"

I don't understand any of the Scottish ones mind

 

WGS is a legend.

"After a year in charge, we had not improved one iota - the football was average, away results were abysmal, the worst league position in 20 years and he still doesn't know his best team. It wasn't just on the field that Strachan let himself down, off the field during post-match interviews he became an embarrassment to himself, the club and the fans. He was arrogant, obnoxious, sarcastic, cutting and rude. He came across to me like a man who was on the borderline of insanity. "
Bernie Slavin (Middlesborough legend) on Strachan's brief stint as manager of Middlesborough (Oct 2010)

 

That was just the usual WGS. When he did it at SFC we loved it. I think I've never looked forward to a post-match interview quite so much since.

 

Said in answer to... Gordon, can we have a quick word?
