Lambo!

Whispering Dave commenting on lack of shooting, and voila'!

ok now

Still no saints Player either..

He'll come on when we're 3-0 up.... or down.

Think that's an automatic bot which won't come up with anything..

Yep, so was my ladies' team match on Sunday, but we're a bottom of the football pyramid club, whereas Portsmouth are... similarly underfunded!

Nah, I think all the doubters have already been put off by your miserabilist and depressing posts. We're just left with the financially comfortable hard core now.:-)

"Probably"? You seem very confident, so I presume you're going to have a bet on it? As for most of us being happy, I'll leave that happiness to you, your winning bet and smug " I told you so". If you win that bet, that is...

Really? I find the opportunity to see new young players and different formations quite interesting, and although it's always good to see stars (like when we had MLT) it's not why I go. The fact that I'm not going on Saturday is not through lack of interest in a particular Saints line up, who the opposition is or the fact that it's the FA cup. It's purely a matter of expense, what with Christmas and NY, lack of work and going on holiday at the end of January. I might have been tempted with lower prices: club please note!

Oh gawd, no! Can you imagine "This is a massive, massive club with amazing crowds for the Conference South. We'll have to watch Eastleigh though, as it'll be their cup final; playing here at Barton's Road"* [*As if a nutjob wouldn't know that's where H&W play.]

East of SO15 it's raining, but the impression is made worse by the wind and the sound of the rain on the pane. Off fairly soon but keeping an eye on the news..

Usual pub, Leicester?

Nah, CELTA and City & Guilds for teaching adults here..., although I've taught English in plenty of different primary classes. Need any ESOL part-timers?:-)

Sorry, I meant "Casterbridge"... :-)

Sorry you can't make it tisspahars, but good to see the tickets being used...

Oh, and wait for the base to build up it it's thin. Some meadow type/based runs need very little coverage but much high altitude off-piste needs loads more to cover the rocks.

Two skiers killed in Italy on Saturday in one of my old haunts. Knowing the run they were on (Couis 1) and the level of avalanche danger at the time I don't think I'd have been there. Wait for the snow pack to settle, for Christ sake.

Wouldn't some of these signings want to be paid? I know most of the contributors on this board who play actually pay match subs, but I don't think that's an option for L2 sides..

Nah, it's not joshing, and I did it some time ago when it was getting tiresomely like bullying, and that was my response. Utter foolishness I can put up with: never had Bearsy on ignore and even swapped some banter with him.;-) As it happens I think CB Fry is far more unpleasant than Turkish, who at least talks sense about football, even if his style is also unpleasantly belligerent but I can't be bothered to change it now, and it gives Turkish something to worry about. His response was amusingly inevitable.

Did I just see Turkish quoted as having said " jealously tapping away on mongboards."? For some reason I found that amusing and I suspect that Turkish is a bigger tapper than most...

Ooh, that's a posh way to say "ignoring him".. I had one too. :-) Anyway, not to be rude to anyone, but this is one forum where I let requests slide past: nothing personal to anyone.

Anyway, back to the football. Seeing that gif makes you realise why lallana was going on at the ref and the gestures he made. Now, I can understand guys protecting their undercarriage (apparently pain is involved) and even their face, but the hand is up, close to the head on what I reckon the player thought was his blind side from the ref, with the hand fully open and nowhere near protecting his face. I hope the ref is embarassed when he sees the video, and I hope the refs' assessor has seen it too..

Dorchester?

I'll have it! Put it to its proper use too! As long as it's not Small: that's why I'm in goal... :-)
