No more Gloom and Doom (Part 2) : Mon Apr 22, 2013 9:57 am  

Now for the Saints. History and the bookies will tell you a fired up Saints will score their usual 40 points at the Stoop next weekend. They have only lost once in 17 SL visits to London. But hey, they are going through a bad patch (for them) and this could be the weekend when our team realises its potential.

Lets be positive, it worked last weekend (just) let's give another go! It is even getting warmer!

Best chance for ages of beating Saints. They've a lot of key players injured and now will be without Meli and possibly Gardner and Wilkin, if they get suspensions.

OTOH, if we don't pick up our game from last Sat, I'm not sure I'd back us.

Red shirts please.

Maybe if enough of us wear old red London shirts the club will get the message!

How many on here were at our last home win against Saints? It was a terrific night and I can honestly say I don't remember getting home.

Mind you, as it was 11 years ago, I guess I wouldn't remember it anyway

Two Words about Saints that still sound bad to me.

Yes, it was a Thursday night (and what a night it was).

Thing is, Saints had a strong team out which included Wellens and Gardner. Our only connection with that last home win is Tony Rea.

Can the great man inspire us once more?

Only one Londoner in our 2002 team...poor old Dom Peters. Wonder where he is now?
