Saints v Stoke match thread [including League Cup tie]

Well, we managed it. We abbreviated the song to get to "Someone still loves you" quicker than the original tune.

Doesn't matter anyway as by the next home game everyone will be singing "Dit dit dit dit Sad-yo Man-eh". because that's easier.

I am regarded with awe by many of my friends...which probably tells you more about their techie knowledge than mine

 

Blimey..! How do they survive in this day and age..? Do they have a person come round to talk about insurance, and they still dial a telephone number to get him/her to do so..?

 

Got money to spend, someone will always help you Most rely on children.

 

Yes, that's true. Bet you're quite the techie guru too.

 

See Prowsie did the twitter feed yesterday and is going to raffle off his signed press pass. Can see that as a future career for him after the end of his playing days.

 

Presume Gaston isn't allowed to play on Weds?

 

Do you mean Saturday or have Stoke signed him when I wasn't looking?

 

He won't be able to play on Saturday. I expect he will enjoy meeting up with the lads again...apart from when we thrash them.

 

Looking back at the game, I reckon Moses being called a cheat by the Swansea manager made him stay on his feet when he may have got a penalty when under pressure.

 

The 'Linekers' are the ones that actually try to prompt praise from the pundits. Its the Savages and Liverpool ex's that dismiss us.

 

I was going to say that. We were lucky to get away with that early on.

 

Explain where we were lucky..? I'm confused that a player who doesn't dive is somehow lucky for us.

 

It also took place outside the box...

 

Don't get me wrong. I applaud players for staying on their feet as that is what they should do, however it was more of a foul than last week and I was surprised (and delighted) we got away with it. Didn't know it was outside of the box. I only saw the stream and not seen it anywhere else as my TV, Internet and phone have been down from 9pm last night to 4pm today Didn't get to see MOTD last night nor this morning.

 

Was it? Thought he was being shoved around inside the box...have to check that again. I fully expected him to go over, but he decided to stay up and I'm sure that was influenced by what had been said. Almost had a thought bubble over his head

 

He was barely touched. He would have been booked for sure. Can't do it twice in 7 days.

 

The pre-match handshake was closer to a foul than the penalty last week

 

That can't go unacknowledged. That was witty.

 

I'd have had little complaints had Moses gone down and a penalty been given. I said it as it happened, I'm certain - as mentioned above - that the only reason he didn't go down was because of last week.

That said, I'm not going to applaud Moses for staying on his feet. Thank him, maybe. But not applaud him. I'm not going to applaud someone for not falling to ground when they could have stayed up.
