Saints Stuff

Steve Grant, on TSP has come up with a suggestion for ABK not getting any game time.
Apparently he has made 24 premier league appearances for us and he is wondering if a 25th appearance would trigger additional payments to the club we bought him from.
Seems odd to give him a bench place if there is never an intention to use him though.
Would sooner give the experience to a kid from the U21 squad.

 

Ah, now that makes sense. It could even be a wage rise or bonus after 25 appearances, but after Juric said it is not a fitness issue, this makes the most sense

 

Substandard Liege

 

If only we had someone like him here now……sigh.

 

He wouldn’t be here. He would be playing for a good team.

 

Saw a video with Lineker and Shearer discussing Brian Clough and Shearer said that he was lined up in the tunnel at Wembley, for our game against Nottingham Forest in the 1992 ZDS final, when someone kicked him in the calf.
On turning around to see who had done it, there was Cloughy telling him “You’re a danger to us” before walking off.
I recall that he did something similar to Kevin Campbell as well.
What a character.

 

I quite often listen to his interviews and stories about him on YouTube when bored. Won't ever be another like him.

Mark Crossley does a brilliant impression of him. This one is class but the Stuart Pearce story he tells is probably my favourite.

Several months ago I donated an old Saints shirt to one of my local bars, as they display them on the walls.
I was expecting it to be held back until they had completed their extension but spotted it this morning in what might be a temporary position.

 

Bottom of the league it looks like. Very apt.

 

I was in a bar in Cyprus last year that had all the footy shirts that had been donated on display and this was the Saints offering

 

Is this the future? A full rebuild, followed by council care.

 

Does it really matter who the officials are? The team and manager are doing a good job of getting us relegated, so we can’t blame VAR and dodgy officials for our position. They are inconsistent, but the players and Juric are consistent in their inability to win a football match on a regular basis.

 

It's kind of important as no game would start without them?

 

We wouldn’t lose though but. 0-0 every game, 38 points. Like the sound of that.

 

The football fates would find a way to screw us up and deny any points!

In fairness they probably don't like him because he left - most seemed to like him when he was there.

 

I was particularly struck by the one saying he’d left them with an unfit squad.
