Nay sign of a guardian of the storm



Excellent Laces.

 

All St Mary’s is a stage
with Wes and Stephens merely players...


.... sans goals, sans points, sans everything

 

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he Saturday that sheds his cynicism with me
Shall be my brother (or sister); be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not there,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That sang with us upon Saint Marys Stadium.

(With apologies to Bill Spokeshave)

 

"I'll go anywhere with you
Just wrap me up in chains"

Shakespears Sister

 

If football is the food of life, play on ( and get the three points)

 

**** Shakespeare.

If that spineless, **** scared, over cautious, coward of a manager doesn't play this team on Saturday then we are really are doomed.

Bench: Sims, Boufal, Højbjerg , Redmond, Forster, McQueen and sadly Benarek.

As for the Bard: ‘Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.’

 

We might as well throw in one of our greatest poets:

“Said Hamlet to Ophelia
I’ll draw a sketch of thee
What kind of pencil shall I use
2B or not 2B”

Perhaps we can attribute this to the referee when booking Gabbi for taking off his shirt when celebrating his hat trick.

 

'Is that Dan Agger which I see before me?'
















'No, it's Ryan Shawcross, Dan Agger played for Liverpool'

 

I assume the squad went on their overseas jaunt, strange that there has been no footage anywhere?

 

Are they even going to make it back!?

Not surprising at all- we saw nothing of their mid season jaunt last year either.

 

I’m hoping the team give a pound of flesh this weekend. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

They are back- landed at Southampton Airport yesterday evening

 

I know it borders on blasphemy, but much though I enjoy Shakespeare performed, I'm not a great one for quoting him. I am a fan of Henrich Heine,and was looking for a quote of his on a different subject when I came across one I trust doesn't apply to our Chairman, but I think you'll agree it's touch and go:

"Ordinarily he was insane, but he had lucid moments when he was merely stupid."

Do you think old Heinrich knew one of big K's relatives?

 

I just love misquoting Shakespeare

 

Anyone recognise the final quote of the OP?

 

Chances of this being called off? What's it like down there on the coast?

 

Alexander the Great....am I a genius, no, I googled it.

Unless you meant the final cry....which I believe is pure you.

 

Absolutely zero I would say SS, it's not that bad and the forecast is for warmer weather by Saturday.
