Match Day Thread Saints vs Swansea, Saturday 18th Oct, 12:30

I'm going to be up on a set a steps putting up some pictures and then trying to get the grass cut before the game - does that count as risky? Though seeing as I have all the football prowess of a dead wombat I won't be missed

 

Think I replied to the wrong post.... took me a moment to get what you meant

 

Clearly it's forum contagious.

 

Thanks.

 

Just make sure there are no rogue roller-skates laying around near your step-ladder.

 

It was in the Echo too.

 

The Echo was reporting on the Fantwit rumour and saying it was strange (for clicks) - they weren’t reporting it was true..

 

I can't remember the last time I actually found an article on the Echo site in amongst all the adverts

 

I was telling my wife that I believed this week was the week that it was all going to click - the football would be compelling, even beautiful enough to dampen the eyes of the most hardened Saints fan. The team would perform as one unit, like a flock of graceful birds, moving in tandem and creating patterns and shapes that you only find in the natural world - each player sure of their job, confident in their ability and exacting in their standards. It only leads to a win.

She told me that I'd said this for the last bajillion weeks and that she would be staying at her mothers for a while. What she doesn't understand, and will now miss, is that it's this week. This is the week where it all clicks.

 

I must admit, i've got a good feeling about this one.

 

I`ll have a pint of what ever you`re on !

 

Uh oh!

 

St Elsewhere

I also share your optimism but find your post most enlightening.

So we can anticipate a murmuration of midfielders ?

 

Indeed - the only thing missing will be a David Attenborough voiceover.

 

Is this a flight of fancy? I tend to think of vultures or albatrosses when linking Saints to avian mascots.

 

Going to the game followed by a night of Southampton metalcore, nothing could be better
