Do you reckon Batman signed it? It seems to be the same people who sign it who say, 'wait and see if he is innocent"... Er.. exactly!

Embarassing when the mirror smashed, I'll bet! Checked the cost of flights as I rather fancy Turin and could stay with a friend there, but flights are extortionate.

Well, he's no innocent, and he may be innocent, so why don't we wait for the outcome of the investigation? Most suspensions from work happen when there is a serious allegation, not just getting a report in late, or a bit of a verbal barney. The fact that the programmes have all been pulled would suggest that there is a serious case to answer, as nobody would do it just for the fun of it because they didn't like him. In the meantime I suggest that isn't appropriate to sign any petitions, for or against, and if Guido Fawkes did start one it just confirms his ****tishness.

Steveee, I've paid me fiver, can you update my status... Ta.

Perhaps the poor side and playing for himself are connected? What was he like before QPR?

I've got to get back to my stripping (paint with a hot air gun), so at least Bearsy will get something out of this thread.. It was meant to be a light-hearted humorous thread until _you_ came along, effing and ****ing, to try and turn it back to your agenda. Some porn is inappropriate, so is singing GYTOFTL and so is your behaviour here. I'm not equating the three, in case you were wanting to start a straw-man argument, but you don't seem to have any judgement of the wheres and whens.

I was listening to the radio after Liverpool were held at home by Blackburn, and a 'pool fan was talking about the need to have signed a striker in January! We aren't alone in our need, but I think your analysis is a pretty fair summary why _we_ didn't.

Sorry I didn't come along and help Lou, but I'm a bit older than you and in spite of a mild masochistic streak (Saints fan etc...) I've learnt that beating your head against a brick wall is less fun than heading an under-inflated football on a wet day. Still, at least some posters warn you with their user names, like Unbelievable Jeff... Porn has never done much for me (I rely on imagination ), and I do have to thank Bearsy of this parish for his review of 50 Shades, which convinced me (amid much laughter, I have to admit) that such a badly written book wasn't worth bothering about.

Looking good: http://www.lovevda.it/it/prima-di-partire/webcam Possibly try the Dragon Pub, never been there as I only day skied in Cervinia, but it's popular with the british.. Having done some further delving, try the Yeti Bar.

I prefer to go back to The Dell days: Romsey Old Boys Band...

Actually, I've found a new local pub in the next village showing footie, and the last three games I watched there (all in one week) were all wins, including away at Man Utd. Now I don't expect a win but hope springs eternal..

I'm a reasonable skier - off-piste and all that, but the only time I've been cross-country skiing on those skinny little things not attached at the heel I fell 4 times, including some right head-over-heels purlers and with ice-skating I've had a few bruised buttocks. Still, no injuries, and just that shot of Graziano killing himself laughing makes me think it's been worthwhile for the team building aspect.

Not long in from football training and just checked the result, then came straight on here to join the general merriment and add to the general laughter. I know schadenfreude can be a negative thing, but this is rather enjoyable...

First time I've been on here since the game, and just watched the video highlights.. Hmmm, 4 potential penalties and not one given? The first you might argue about, although what was that hand doing up there on his shoulder? Number 2 no doubt at all, and the 3rd and 4th the sort that we'd be unhappy if given against us. Lovren's tackle was nastier than it looked at the time too. Miserable result, miserable weather and our women's match was abandoned earlier in the day 5 minutes after I came on as sub. Miserable.

What have Citeh and Pompey got in common? Both 2-0 down at home..

It wasn't meant to be a open top bus parade.. http://travel.aol.co.uk/2013/01/29/double-decker-bus-roof-ripped-off-railway-bridge-crash-hampshire/

Will the women's toilets be working by then? I know Woody and his missus, and could have a chance of tickets..

What a shame. Portsmouth miss a penalty..

Here I am in bed waiting.. Hmm, perhaps I ought to rephrase that! Still, a chuckle to look forward to in the morning, I have no doubt..

Good summary, dodd.. Long causes problems for other teams, he's an awkward bu**er. Osvaldo - coglione!

Frustrated, disappointed but not depressed. Although I had the slight worry of any long term Saints fan that WH would get something on the break, that soon went. Our defence and midfield, even with enforced changes, seems to get better by the game. Harry Reed also seems to be improving every time I see him. I reckon JWP only came on for fresh legs and the potential of a free kick around the box. But yes, our resources in attack don't have the depth of the _financial_ big boys, even if we are up there with, or above, them. But with Long, Rodriguez and Gallagher all out injured I can see why we wouldn't buy just at the moment. We would need to get somebody better, who is available, wants to come to us (Osvaldo??!), who we can afford, and whose club is willing to sell. So I'm not one of the simplistic "we should have bought another striker" school of thought, even if we do need one. I just hope Pelle is allowed a few days off, back to mum's home cooking, and then a return refreshed and ready for the fray. When all is said and done, we are still fourth. We may well slip a place or two, but to read some on here you'd thing that rapid descent down the table was a foregone conclusion. In the meantime I'm still allowing myself a chuckle at BFS's pretensions to sophisticated football...

Particularly those who play amateur football on a Sunday..

The Edge would be better for the women in your group.. The Wetherspoons in Southampton all seem to serve reasonably kept beers, and a changing range, and as you'll be saving yourself £1.50 a pint over normal pub prices it can add up. From then on it really depends on your age and tastes, but Southampton has never been a particularly vibrant city in the nighlife stakes (from my vague memories, that is..).

:-)

ASL? ? Gawd, I remember the 90's and slow modems, and spotty adolescents (I assume) wondering why you got shirty when they popped up on IRC with that question (and nothing else).. Anyways..for what it's worth I shall probably have a pint or two in The Platform, and/or one in The Standing Order on the way there on the basis that saving £1.50ish on a pint is quite attractive at the moment. On the other hand the destination could be The Junction at St. Denys, depending on the consensus of my footie aquaintances. Midweek they'll be no post-match pint for me. Most male Saints fans of my aquaintance are OK, intelligent, and don't get worried that they're never going to get their leg over, but that may be an age related thing. Don't worry Lou.. Pap can be a bit misguided, and I don't think is as fit as Ronaldo but is otherwise sound; Bearsy has a somewhat errant intelligence (judging by his book reviews), and if CBFry frequents pre-match pubs you can kick him in the balls just on principle - but I suspect you won't come across him. Go for it, you've nothing to lose..
