Gardos's recovery is stepping up having completed 45, 60 and now 90 minutes for the U23s. Will he be suitable cover on his return or is he in the Yoshida category? I honestly can't remember if he was any good. |

The Everton comparison (AKA the Koeman comparison) is pointless. After 6 games last season, Everton were 6th and Saints were 16th. A year later and Everton are only one place better off whereas Saints are 7 places better off so you could argue Koeman moving has been good for Saints and not so much for Everton. |

Comment | What Was Your First Ever Saints Game ?

My parents are both from Surrey and so have no affiliation to Saints. Add to that my dad being an egg chaser, my mum being paranoid about the violence that followed football about in the 80’s and money being tight, there was no incentive to allow me to go to the Dell.
In the autumn of 1985, however, my school announced that 100 schoolkids from across the city, were going to be asked to be part of the centenary celebrations at the match against Everton and that my school had been selected to provide 10 of those kids. I was chosen and, as it was under school supervision, I was permitted to take part.
Ahead of the match, we had to attend a hall somewhere for rehearsals. The plan was for us to form the shape of ‘100’ on the pitch but trying to get 100 9 year olds to do this was like herding cats so they decided we would simply form a guard of honour instead.
On the 30th November, we turned up at Springhill First School with the kids from the 9 other schools and got changed into the kits we had been given. We were taken across Milton Road through the gate and down the slope onto the pitch to form the guard. I was quite in awe to see the likes of Shilton, Case, Wallace, Armstrong and Moran as well as Lineker pass me so closely. It all happened very quickly and we were soon back across the road to get changed back again. We were then taken up to the family enclosure above the Milton but the match has already started and we had already scored. I don’t really remember much about the match except that we led twice but eventually lost 2-3 but what I do remember is the noise and atmosphere which got me hooked.
I still have the shirt and programme we were given although the shorts and socks are long gone. Incredible to think this is 30 years ago later this month. Would love to see any photos of this if anyone has any as I've struggled to find any.

If he's a subby, rather than on the dry lining contractor's cards, then he's probably on anything up to 90 day payment terms and so could very well have his account docked of the cost of taking the wall down and rebuilding it. Main Contractors can be complete coonts about this sort of thing.
Oh well. |
