St Landrew

Every day I wake up thankful that I have no money to invest..!

3 people. Enough for a Chair, Treasurer and Secretary. OK, off we go..!

Hardly worth me returning with a reply, but it's fair to say... YES.

Why on Earth would you want one..? Can't you source your own, matey..? BTW, they're not cheap enough. I looked. How about here..? Not £250 though [£272]. http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/2827_8207.htm But at least it's new and has a 3 year guarantee

I wouldn't call you a racist Robsk. You're a tree-hugger like me. At least that's what I'm accused of being anyway.

Channon wasn't nominated for 2nd Best RM either. It seems people want him in the A team as well. Bally and Keegan were nominated. If you take issue, just don't vote for them, and if they don't win the vote, they can be nominated for another position, and in any [A or B] team. As can any player who's position hasn't been settled. Look at the voting threads in Golden Posts to find the lineups, so far. BTW, we have a 4-4-2 formation. That has been settled on because practically every player under consideration will have played in a 4-4-2 line-up. Please do read my comments in the threads in future [they are there to help you] and I think you'll find the answers you need.

I take it the little joke went whooosh then..? Anyway, had some pheasant the other month. Bloody near broke a tooth on a bit of shot. I think the goose is cooked... if you get my meaning.

Point taken. I had read your post, just forgotten it. I tend to forget the one-liners. You need to expand on what you want to say, Stevo.

Hi Minsk Thanks for asking the questions. Hopefully I can answer them in such a way that it answers other people's questions too. As you know, we have a Saints [A] Best Ever Team, and a Backup Team. WE will be having a sub's bench for all those other exceptional players e.g. Nick Holmes [if he doesn't make it into the A or B teams]. But onto your point. It is only with the Right Wing or Right-Midfield position where I saw a situation in which Saints undoubted greatest, i.e. Terry Paine, in that position, was in danger of pushing a player like Matt Le Tissier into 2nd place, if voting for the Best Ever RM took place. Painer's nominations were so much higher than anyone else's that it was a complete waste of a vote for anyone else. He had 20 times more nominations than anyone else..! An astounding result, and no contest at all. So that left the nominations for the 2nd best ever player in that position. Now I know that one of the second best players in Painer's position is Matt Le Tiss. In fact, if everyone agrees with me on that score, then the best player ever to have donned a Saints shirt only makes the B team, and can't be selected for anywhere else. That can't be..! Now, as the planner and adjudicator of these polls, I thought it wouldn't be too controversial if I eliminated Matty form the 2nd Best RM poll. Let's face it, we don't want him in the 2nd best team, or there to be any danger of him being there. We KNOW he's good enough to be in the A team. There will be a place for him, and I think it'll be in next weeks nominations for a Central midfield pair. Just as we sorted the CBs as the best 2, we'll do the same for the best CMs. I hope that has answered your question Minsk. Now I'd like someone to answer me one... How on Earth has nobody, apart from a few who've taken the trouble to read, managed to work this out, when I've written the rules repeatedly, time and time again, and also written repeatedly that MLT will be in the Best Ever [A] Team somewhere..? I've put that last bit in blue in the hope that someone will read it, and go back to the places in the threads where I've also explained that the Saints Best Ever threads are currently in the Golden Posts section, where they are being stored for information purposes, and so that people can see them at any time, and not have to hunt on sub-pages of the Main forum. BTW, I see Danny Wallace is doing very well in this poll. That seems like several voters are acting sensibly. A very good 2nd best RM. Ta.

Good to hear it. And I'm slightly envious of the Quad speakers. I have a pair of KEF Reference 104/2 Monitors, but I've always liked Quad Electrostatics too. Of course, when I wanted to buy a pair they were too bloody expensive [ELS63's or even the classic ESL57's], especially as you needed a separate sub-woofer if you wanted the very low range at higher volumes. Look after that vintage kit.

Yeah..! Guess the BBC should change their poll to BEST rather than personality. After all, as I keep saying... we want the best, not the legends.

Hmm, I saw that myself the other day. The thought struck me that if you were to take away the top four teams, the Premiership would be just as competitive in its own way as the Championship. I think there's a moral there somewhere. Can't find it though. It had something to do with money, or the lack of it.

I was going to say, in answer to your indecision over whether or not to support Derby temporarily, that it is always a good idea to have rival teams, only receive one point [hence a draw], thereby forever wasting 1 point, which cannot be set against Saints total. EDIT: Charlton look to be in a worse situation than anything we've contemplated, since our relegation.

I said the flak would fly. Can I just thank rpb, derry, Panda and anyone else who's tried their best efforts to educate their fellow Saints brethren. But I've got a slight feeling it isn't possible. My face has returned from its perfectly blue colour. I think I'll just leave the country for 5 days when I set up the threads for the Central Midfield section. Thanks again you peeps who tried your best. It is appreciated. BTW, 4 more days of voting hell to go before nominations start for the best ever 2 Central-Midfielders. Keep voting. Well, those who want to play, that is.

Oh dear, looks like some people want to take their balls home with them. Lol.

No I realised that, and I didn't watch them all. Just thought I'd mention it though. I was going to write my own little review, but I find I'm entirely in agreement with you. However, my thoughts were based on my preconceived ideas of pace and storyline of the original, so for me, the film might improve, over time. I'll not be holding my breath though.

Oh come on, you can forgive the mistake. It's a very nicely put analogy, even if it is slightly inaccurate. I especially liked the Askham bit.

All the more genuine a winner then. Too many times the winner is decided by how high profile the sport is, not the excellence of the performance. Don't worry though, sportspeople like Chris Hoy will return to obscurity, only to re-emerge in 2012. Right result.

Yes, you're voting for the SECOND BEST RM to go into the B Team, simply because Terry Paine won so many nominations he would have walked off with the A team result at a canter, and some odd person like Stuart Ripley would probably have snuck into the B team, and we can't have that. If we're going to make an error, let's make an OK one. So get voting. No legends, simply the best player, err... second best player. Oh you get the idea. But then... perhaps you don't. Ta. Please remember, those that win the vote cannot be nominated for any other position. Those that lose are eligible to be nominated elsewhere on the pitch, later on.

OK folks, that's it for the nominations. Thanks for your efforts and [lack of] understanding [by not reading the very words in front of you] I'm closing the nominations thread now because nobody is actually nominating anymore but talking about why MLT isn't being considered for a position in the B Team. We have 6 players to choose from, and Matty isn't one of them [executive decision for the good of all]. Those that do understand please explain to those that don't. I've had it with people who can't be bothered to read, even those that are just doing it to tease. When the Central and Left-sided midfield nominations come up we can do this all again. Now get voting for Saints SECOND BEST Right-Midfielder. Ta.

I'm not falling for it this time peeps. EDIT: Don't tell me BO is actually being serious..?

If I can help it... YES. But this is meant to be democratic. I know everyone will want Matty in the A team somewhere, but he couldn't take Painer's place, that was obvious. And he's too good to be in the B team. So he has to go elsewhere. Like RCM or LCM for instance. Now, no more questioning. Nominations end late tonight.

Look, you don't understand, right..? I've explained the situation until I'm blue in the face, and I'm not going to try anymore. For what it's worth, a lot of people DO understand why MLT shouldn't be appearing in this position. So just hang fire, alright..? Trust me.

Don't worry, just not in this one.

Doh... :smt120
