The9

Less than one minute, absolutely guaranteed. Especially if that's it. To be honest I think the overwhelming opinion will be "hate it" and "not Saints".

Could be* *no idea.

Well that's nice for you. Bit sad though.

mulletsaints' last mock-up... ?

Didn't you already post this? It wasn't funny then either.

I'm already in obscurity, why would it matter?

Yes, but how do THEY know ? Do you have to click on a button which says "Because is not playing" when prompted with "Why do you wish to sell the tickets?".

How about that, I agree with you.

It's hardly surprising they can't shift tickets for an U-23 football tournament, they got 15,000 for Russia v Czechs in Euro96 at Anfield, how exactly are they expecting to sell UAE v Uruguay U-23s at Old Trafford or UAE v Senegal in Coventry ?!? None of Mexico, S Korea, Gabon, Switzerland, Egypt, Belarus, NZ, Honduras or Morocco are going to shift any tickets. Even I've only bought tickets to the QF in Cardiff and SF to Wembley just so I get to see an Olympic event, and even those I'm having second thoughts about. As for "returned tickets due to Beckham", how do they know why tickets are being returned ? My mates sold some yesterday and it had nothing to do with the GB squad. Old Trafford has a capacity of 75k, the Millennium Stadium 72.5k, they are hosting Egypt v NZ and Mexico v Switzerland respectively, there's 135k spare tickets right there.

Everyone else got banned for using too many exclamation marks at the end of sentences. That and randomly adding the letter s to words.

A bit of 1, a lot of 3 and a little bit of 5 for me.

That as well. It might work, or it might be possible.

At least we've been saved seeing these twinned up with this . "Olympic pink" indeed.

Stick a laptop in front of you playing various tv you want to catch up on. Works for me on the step machine.

Best Saints number 7 EVER. Along with Kanchelskis.

Probably aimed at Ronaldinho when Lallana first broke through, to be fair.

And, presumably, this article about the refitting of the stores that's been on the OS front page for a week (references "next weekend" as the on-sale date). http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2819693,00.html I was in there on Thursday 21st and there wasn't very much left in there even then, behind the counter they'd already stripped out everything other than the shirt printing machines.

You could just stick to discussing tangible football skills rather than obscure similes! Holt is faster than Lambert and much more agile, which are two important qualities for strikers in the Prem. He's also got very quick feet (not necessarily better than Lambert) and can get past people in open play.

Yeah but Sharp had only just joined us then, my opinion of that was that he was being trained hard to get him up to Saints levels of fitness without risking injury by overtraining AND playing, and he would then get a run at the end of the season when we needed fresh blood. Which was exactly what happened. I also think Sharp's got certain attributes that more strikers who are successful in the Prem have, and all of the ones needed to have a chance, but I've already had this discussion on here and no-one seemed to agree with me that having the ability to go past players was useful for a goalscorer in the Prem.

We had a load of players get contract extensions last season due to promotion clauses.

Actually I did have a terrible night's sleep the day before that. Coincidence.

One thing that has just occurred to me, I bet their hits are way down compared to last season's F5-fest when we didn't know when the kit would be on the website.

No idea what it is, but it's the same as I had last month and there was no kit launch then. It's not a cold though.

Yeah, would be hugely improved with a red v-neck

I am, already ill anyway. I have paper bags at the ready. The missus will be home by 6 to catch me when I swoon...
