  1. No. How can you get excited about getting dressed up in red and white, face paints, balloons and so on? It's a bit sad. You're an adult (I presume) and yes, if you were 12 or under, I'd probably understand wanting to do all that. But not a grown man. It doesn't show anything other than you're a sheep. It's nothing to do with rejection either, of all the well dressed people I saw (myself included), no one had the same clothing, everyone was individual.
  2. "Oh look at me in my tight fitting replica shirt, oh look at you in your tighter fitting replica shirt, oh let's take a picture of both of us, again, in our tight fitting tops" I can't stand that place.
  3. I really do feel sorry for Coventry's fans - I've always liked the club and even the city having spent some time there. I think our two clubs were always very similar throughout the 90s especially in terms of size and battling against relegation. I also feel very sorry that they got lumbered with the SISU mess but thankful we didn't! Having said that, I would love another 8-2, easy day at the office, no nerves, thank you very much.
  4. Saint and Greavsie!! haha, that brings back memories! I think Gary Neville is a brilliant pundit - talks sense and is very very good, certainly compared to pundits that have gone before.
  5. In with the Coventry fans?
  6. Can I bag one please if you do? Cheers mate!
  7. I'm not sure he would. It's in his interest for us to go up (and take him and his job with us), but equally, I could understand his heart ruling his head and giving a small clinched fist "yes" if they scored. I think I would if I were employed by another club and we were playing Saints. But no, I don't think proper celebrating would be on at all - and I'm not sure (well I hope) he wouldn't be like that. He must want us both to go up!?
  8. What a prat this guy is. Meanwhile in more important news ... the world still turns.
  9. What a bunch of miserable c*nts you all are.
  10. Been a bit non-committal about Guly, but he really was f*cking useless today. But then, De Ridder wasn't much better - new right winger needed! Shame we didn't have Puncheon really, I actually think he would have been okay today. Lambert was anonymous really, maybe not getting stuck in, frightened of injuring himself?
  11. "I can't stand stuff LIKE" I said - I'm being totally judgemental - I can't be bothered to concentrate on a subtitled film, does my head in! When I watch films, I need to not think and be entertained, like an American. Working for them must be rubbing off on me ...
  12. To be honest, with the amount of "thinking" I have to do day to day at work I honestly can only really watch lame films. Hall Pass was great - those are the only types of films I actually enjoy now. I bought Tinker Tailer Soldier Spy and fell asleep. Tried it again, fell asleep, tried it a 3rd time stayed awake and found it really boring. I can't stand stuff in foreign like Headhunters or Girl With The Dragon Tattoo zzzZZZZ. Anyway ... watched Contagion at the weekend on Movies on Demand - bit lame, but I was kept entertained which is enough for me, 7.5/10.
  13. I was supposed to be away in Seattle for work, but I'm not as of yesterday - so I phoned up, couldn't get a ticket, but bagged one in hospitality!
  14. Oh god, you're kidding, right? I can't stand them, all the Northerners on the national news, does my head in! But anyway, that's another topic ... Poster above was right about saying 'svamtun' - one of my work colleagues in who Hungarian visited "South-hamp-ton" this weekend and I had to teach him how to pronounce it properly I never really realised the little distinctions until I worked in London. Most people I work with are American or European with a fair few home-counties thrown in. We had a new starter a few months ago and I immediately picked up his accent from being from the Southampton area; not a strong accent, but little subtle things. I do notice that when I go abroad, especially to our US office, when I listen to myself, I think I sound MORE English over there and sound like bloody Hugh Grant in my own head.
  15. Thanks mate ... that was my first worry, I'd still rather sound like a bumpkin than a mockney! haha.
  16. Why do some people lose their accents more quickly than others? Reason being ... I was born in Southampton, grew up in the Waterside, always thought I had a New Forest(ish) accent. After having worked in and around London for so long, have been told I sound more London. But, my Nan was a Geordie, she lived all over the country and mostly down here for her life and NEVER lost her accent. Likewise my Grandad, proper New Forest bloke (and played for Saints in 1947) never lost his Forest accent, despite living in Middlesbrough, Lancashire and Crawley. How do people lose their accents so easily? Do Southampton accents sound more close to London now? I have noticed it's harder and harder to tell where someone is from now, unless you're a Scouser, Welsh, Geordie, Brummie etc.
  17. Agree, perversely this is why we may do okay next season (in the Premiership) as we'll "do a Swansea". I fully expect Swansea to get relegated next season, but there's no reason why we couldn't copy them and stay up for one season with our game, when on form. Today, we were sh*t, totally and utterly sh*t. But, we're still top, we'll still go up (I think) and we still are a good side. Blackpool were very very good today and Ince was brilliant - WHEN we go up, I would love us to buy him.
  18. Mate, totally disagree with you on the first bit - a very poor performance will mean (you'd hope) that they will want to make amends and therefore destroy the skates. That's my logic anyway. Totally agree with you on the second bit though!
  19. Totally agree with you and this is the best post of yours ever - you haven't sat on the fence for once!!
  20. Me too. I voted for the Basingstoke Common Man Party as my protest vote ... then the c*nt turned up at the results wearing a skate shirt. FFS.
  21. Jesus H Christ ... is it 2009 again? Jim Ratcliffe is a recluse and would never be interested in a football club. Okay, it IS 2009 again ...
  22. Are you drunk, or on drugs? Or just weak and not thinking straight because you're a vegetarian?
  23. Unless you're allergic to meat, being a vegetarian is attention seeking; "oh look at me, I don't eat meat, you'll have to cook me a special meal of my own", "How about p*ss off and eat what you're served you attention seeking moron".

    Turf

    Turf?? No - seed it. Dig up the old turf/ground and flatten down, put a generous layer of lawn soil down and mix in some grass seeds with more lawn soil on top of that. You'll have a nice, flat lawn in no time. As I'm rock 'n roll, I spent yesterday preparing half my lawn for exactly that!
