The difference being that I have respect for players and managers and supporters of teams like that, who play for the joy of playing, and not shafting exploiting all around them.

Hmm, Mum and Dad were from Eastleigh railway families, and I live a few railway stops to the east of Portsmouth: I'd have to go to Fratton, wouldn't I? Hopefully no lobbed lumps of concrete like at the Alan Knight testimonial..

Well, similar to beer, but I wouldn't touch it...

Flash mob to Northampton on Easter Monday?

So Barry thinks he's Glasgow and vice-versa? That would explain a lot.

Not the cup game when Moran scored? Annoyingly I was away on a skiing holiday and rushed to get a newspaper as soon as I got off the 'plane. The one where Lawrie made a quip about the money that had been thrown at Wallace?

You are right, of course!

It might not have been a very strong joke, but you have to go and spoil it!

For once the phrase "it'll be all over by Christmas" may well prove to be right...

Surely you could just have resurrected an old thread with this title and keep all these events grouped together? I'm sure it's only a few pages to search on here..

Waterside.saint, sheer evil genius..

I was going to use that joke! Luckily I read the whole thread first after I popped out for a short while. I could tell something had happened by the number of extra pages!.

You couldn't re-order those words so that they actually mean something, could you? As an EFL teacher I'm used to people mangling the English language and working out what they mean, but there are limits...

Greetings and welcome. We still think we've got the bestest thread here though.

Perhaps you should put that up on Universal Job Match?

I think you'll find it's good value, and laughter is very good for getting air into the lungs and de-stressing..

Or a nipper goes with his football club team mate to St. Mary's.. we might even get as far as Cosham!

I'm going down to a social club in the village tonight - just to the East of Pompey - and I'll ask that question: all sweet and innocent like..

His reports are barely readable. I couldn't bear it if he wrote the ones for Saints..

:-)

'Baring its teeth', unless you are talking about Pompey's attack, which is toothless, and now in a glass on some bedside table.

Cheeky b****r!:-) I do, I do, although I make no claims as to being any good, and I'm old enough to be most of the team's grandmother. I haven't got the lungs anymore, and I never had the control, but we've a forward who certainly would be skilful enough, if only she were a little taller. Alton Leisure Centre tomorrow if you want to check. ;-)

You sad *ucker, you're listening to Radio Solent. So am I!

I know I shouldn't laugh, female solidarity, and all that, but this thread continues to give good value..

Well, not with your type..;-) Oh, and I forgot. What about my gloves? As a general point, it's interesting how you start off as a forward and in low level footie (pub teams and the like) end up as a goalkeeper. With a few exceptions of course, like Parkin at Fleetwood... [Thanks to this thread for that classic photo..]. How long before Portsmouth...
