From what I can see, not in the team and not even on the bench unless flashscore have got it wrong… |

Unfortunately that won’t work, if the gulag floods, they are so inbred they will just use the webbing between their 12 fingers and toes to swim to safety. |

That Saints fan’s home will need fumigating now with particular attention paid to the work surface the wig resides upon. Hopefully Westwood had washed the wig this calendar year although the shampoo required (Gimp & Shoulders) isn’t cheap.
Perhaps the wig’s new owner would like to bring it to SMS on Sunday? Two possibilities:
1. Display it on a spike in front of the away turnstiles
2. Burn it in the centre circle at half time
Whoever you are that did this, I owe you at least a pint and a chaser of your choice 🙂 [Post edited 11 Sep 11:04]

He’d certainly bring the required passion to the derby game next weekend.
He’d be our very own Skate tamer! [Post edited 6 Sep 16:28]

Captain Jack will, so will Manning. THB maybe? And hopefully Aziz and Fellows will want to make a good impression on their home debuts. Fellows said in his first interview that he knows the importance of a derby game coming from Birmingham. He also mentioned the electric atmosphere created by the Saints fans in the play off game at SMS and how he was looking forward to the derby game so I think he will bring it as he definitely sounds up for it. This has got me thinking, there’s a lot of new players, several of whom could be making their debuts and may well not have experienced anything quite like it. Just hope it inspires them, one and all.
As for ‘Chavlin’ if ever a scumbag player and a scumbag club deserved each other it’s those two. TBH if the tw@t plays he will be a liability and could put one or more of our players out of action for months - think Edozie last time in this division. What is needed is a strong Ref not another one in the procession of utter sh1te refs served up by the Football League so far this season. As nice as it is not to have to put up with VAR this is perhaps one game where it might be needed. |

Impressed by their project my ar@e! I suppose it’s the same as when Pelle went to China and became one of the best paid players around at that moment in time. We just can’t compete, but what a waste of a good player that could have done a decent job for us this season. As you say, why can’t they just be up front about it and admit that they are going for the money? coming out with bollox about ‘the project’ just makes JB look like an ar@e. Also, unless he stays away until the entire tax year after his contract finished doesn’t he get clobbered for UK tax on his return? Still, I suppose if you have quite a few million spare you can afford an extended holiday abroad… |

I did say that was the silly answer so I was just having a bit of fun with an old story about the legend that was Willie Faulkes. I don’t suppose there is a grain of truth on that assumption, just thought a bit of light hearted satire wouldn’t go amiss during the International break before we all end up with PMT (Pre Match Tension) before the seriousness of our next must win home game.
As I said on the second answer where I was trying to be sensible, my only vague recollection of this starting up was over a response to away fans giving LeTiss a hard time. That may well not be how it all started, I just vaguely remember that happening.
I do like to hear about some of the stories from the old days and how they contrast with modern football. For example (from that YouTube clip) can you imagine what Sky Sports or the BBC would make of a naked player chasing the Ref around the corridors of Wembley after a Cup Final?
I had the privilege of meeting Ted Drake back in the mid 1980’s, he played 71 games for Saints between 1931 & 34 scoring 47 goals before moving to Arsenal (it was even happening then!) where he scored 124 times in 167 appearances in a career interrupted by WW2 (he was 27 when WW2 started). Went on to manage Chelsea winning by the old Div 1 and becoming the first person to win the League as a player (at Arsenal) and then as a manager at Chelsea. Fascinating man to talk to, or should I say listen to. Some brilliant stories and it’s fair to say that some of the pampered stars of the PL today wouldn’t have lasted more than a couple of weeks in pre-war top flight football. |

Silly answer: It goes back to the 1902 FA Cup Final & Replay when Saints played Sheffield United who fielded a man mountain of a goalkeeper called William ‘Fatty’ Foulkes who weighed in at 20 stone + so the fans went with you fat bastard ahhhhh instead of the usual and it’s been passed down through the generations.
Here he is on YouTube and it is worth a look as there’s a story from the 1902 Final that’s quite amusing and a photo of the game. Have a look at the old shape of pitch markings around the edge of penalty box.

Sensible answer: Only got very vague recollections of it possibly being opposition fans going YFB at Le Tiss at the end of his career when taking a corner or free kick and we then started responding by YFB’ing their keeper. Whether that was the actual start of it all I honestly couldn’t say.
I also remember the first game after the Bruce Grobbelaar match fixing story broke when the away fans were throwing fake money at him before kick off from the East astand Lower away seating and he ran over and scooped all the money up in his hat, once the game got underway for quite a few goal kicks it was ‘You rich bastard Aahhhhh! to which Bruce gave them the thumbs up 🙂 |

Well, Brownhill has allegedly turned down a £100k p/w offer from Leicester City so it seems likely that going to the Saudi League is his plan. The Saudi window is still open for a while so if their window behaves the same way as ours he probably won’t move until the last day it is open. |

Not sure why it changed Frannie, I suppose it was that next generation’s obsession with all things Portsmouth when it comes to songs. Thanks for the reminder of the original version which I should have used.
And thanks to London Saint for the and water explanation, I did wonder why they sung and sea then and water but never got around to asking why
