Puncheon agrees new Saints deal
5:50pm Friday 1st March 2013 in Sport
JASON PUNCHEON
Saints star Jason Puncheon has agreed a new deal to stay at the club for another three years.
The 26 year-old winger is delighted to be committed to the club until July 2016.
He said: "It feels amazing. It's obviously been a worry because my contract was up at the end of the season.
"It's a weight off my mind, now I can look forward to the long-term future. The club has a vision of playing European football and that's why I've signed."

There seems to be a confidence amongst the players that we're staying up.
I, too, hope this doesn't make Punch sit back and relax; his recent form has been excellent but needs to continue.

Another statement of intent from NC-very good news.
Just a bit of an explanation for the skunts-we have offered him what is called a 'contract'. In this 'contract', he has agreed to continue to keep playing for the best team on the South coast, for 3 more years, turnig down interest from probably several Premier league clubs, and will get paid for it too! Can you imagine it, little skunties?
There's a whole other world out there eh?!
Hope to see Jason tear twitchy's boys a new arsenal-hole tomorrow, and send us where belong in mid table!
COYS!!

Punch will be the perfect squad player next season after we have brought a winger who can cross dribble take on pass shoot and defend!!!!
Well done and fully deserved though.

Just hope he really realises what he has got?
Good luck Jason I thought you were not committed but fair play you have stepped up a level for us!
You obviously are a character and liked in the dressing room.
Congratulations!!

What do I know?
Still not certain he has an improvement.
Still, be nice for him to get another goal against a previous employer and not celebrate!
Yea right?

He's had his ups and downs with Saints, but as far as I'm concerned Punch wiped his slate clean during the Everton match.

Would like to see Puncheon go and I also think that the Chairman might like to see him go also, he has a long memory.”
Some people just don't get it, do they?

everyone's signing for european football? what about if we dont realise this dream? Wolves had the same vision and look whats happened to them we need to stop getting ahead of ourselves and focus on the staying in league

I understand that negotiations have been protracted because of the ongoing problems with JP's sphincter. Every time he came close to signing, the process was interrupted by Punch's need to pinch one off!
It turns out that the problems initiate from his favourite coffee which is difficult to purchase and so has been provided by a friend, none other than Alan Pardew (hence his non-appearance in last week's game) who has been lacing supplies with Extremo-lax.
Jason was asked "How's the anus-hole". After initially saying he didn't think they would make top 4 this year and realising his mistake he said (as can be seen in the story above) "It feels amazing. It's obviously been a worry because my contract was up at the end of the season.
It's a weight off my mind, now I can look forward to the long-term future.
Just like you guys to know the facts!

You proved me wrong !!
Don't think you can play much beter than you are now, lose the ball down blind alleys too often.
Love it if you can prove me wrong again
Different thread, how about we sing HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO POCHY TOMORROW ??.

It gets better and better, "soon be wearing black and white" it was said, well you got that wrong! Just hope Punchy appreciates his good fortune and doesn't get into a comfort zone and then fails to give his all for the team.
