Match Day Thread +++++Saints v Watford 13th August 3pm+++++

To be fair I've been clocked many a time by the stewards , and they've never even said anything.

 

Ah, but was it a bar steward?

 

Hey, I used to have that, but I'm fully recovered now!

 

From what FLT tells me about his belly and diet, that's a bit of strange one. Put it this way, if people were mice, FLT is the one on the right:

He used to be like this [without the colour change, I should add]:

Would it spoil the fun if I pointed out that Fats actually isn't particularly fat?!

 

But he is quite ratty. Ratletiss.

 

He tells me he is. He's over his fighting weight, shall we say. I think he knows full well what appears to be overweight and what actually is. He gets to look in the mirror.

For example, I'm forever told that I'm not fat. Truth is, I'm about a stone over weight. There's the difference. We carry it well.

 

That made me laugh out loud

 

I like to think I appear underheight. Sounds better than overweight.

 

I bet you say that to all the girls

Echo wondering if Fonte and Cedric are ready to start against Watford. I admit I just assumed they would start, but they have only had 45 mins run out against Bilbao. However, unlike Jay and Charlie, they weren't giving a run out in the U23s. Yoshi is a safe pair of feet in place of Jose, but I'd rather start with Cedric who looked good on Sunday. My guess would be that we'd still start both of them.

The Echo also thinks that Claude will want to start with a win....who'd have thought, eh?

 

I'd be very surprised if Fonte didn't start. He has such a base fitness level and he also doesn't really have to put in the same cardio work as Cedric

 

The very lovely Mrs Godders laces our half time flask with alcohol, some time whisky but mostly brandy, now I have finally persuaded her to drop the Bovril and bring coffee instead. I think I'll treat myself to a half time box of chocolate liqueurs as well. I really do not like people telling me what I can and cannot do and even more so in this case as Snatcher Thatcher started it all.

 

Wasps and hornets are seen all year in Mallorca!!

 

I was bitten by a virulent mosquito-type creature in Peurto Pollensa once....the bites were an inch across. Luckily the lovely lady in the chemist had a cream that actually worked and the inflammation went down very quickly....better than similar products in the UK. I assume it contained some ingredient banned over the counter here....absolute magic.

 

Gents have 3 tickets for the Man U game don't think I can attend now annoyingly. Message me if anyone is interested

 

I think TheBronze from N Ireland was after tickets.

 

I'll keep that in mind when I come to visit Ides

 

Got my ticket. S to the T to the O to the K to the E to the D.

One concern- starting our 1st game of the season with 3rd choice centre back. We need our fonte!
