Well, from other posts we all know Alps doesn't think we'll be promoted: he's already written us off (going by quotes only - apologies), so presume he thinks we'll be relegated. That should keep all the masochists happy. As Adriansfc has spointed out, some posters predict outcomes and trumpet their rightness to the skies (yes Alps, Burley was a disaster) but never acknowledge when they are wrong. That blindness of vision and monothematic posts is the reason I, for the first time in nearly 20 years on the internet now send someone to DEV/NULL

Pleease don't quote him. It's bad enough watching a crap performance with a nervous crowd and a nervous online audience, but to read YKW wallowing in his normal misery, is just toooo much.

Impossible to tell: like a wacker plate on overdrive...

The Shredder! Regulars will understand... PS: MODS, SG: my status still hasn't been updated....

According to the Leicester Mercury: " City head to the south coast with a mounting injury list. Midfielder Andy King is the latest to be sidelined, along with Darius Vassell, Martyn Waghorn, Jeff Schlupp, Matt Oakley and Frank Moussa, while Sol Bamba and John Pantsil are away on international duty at the African Cup of Nations." Being on the box there should be a stream. Time to go off and see if it's on telly here in Italy: highly unlikely but it is Monday night.

Let's be kind - he was having it changed to "AFC Pompey"

This is rivetting and laughing is good for your health so I'm feeling fit as a fiddle now. BUT MODS, or Steve: I paid my subs last Wednesday and I think all my emails to SG go to his spam folder, so can you update my membership status PLEASE. I wouldn't want to miss contributing to the fun when I finally work out some insightful thoughts on the situation, or even just to congratulate some of the other posters for their information, insight or plain wicked humour... THANK YOU!

Oh, and can people please not quote alpine, as I find it depressing.... "The club aren't doing anything"/"the club should keep quiet"/"this should happen"/"that hasn't happened". I thought matters were improving, but still the absolutely dichotomous statements and unsubstantiated opinions continue to gush forth.

Christ yes. Moving countries with bureaucracy, permissions, organising everything is a 'mare. He'll have lots of support, but even so...

Oh, good! I'm glad I'm not the only one. I think I need a nice big flow-chart to help me...

Jesus effing wept, i've just been listening to a recording of the local coast guard commander with the captain who was already on land, telling him to get back on board. I've never heard a professional like that so angry, and understandably, at a captain who kept evading and making excuses. it's available vi Il Corriera della Sera and audioboo

Scottish education has a well-deserved reputation, but obviously some of them slip through the net..

I'm really busy teaching English this week but as the snow's hard that's no worry, but looking ahead to next week there's a depression coming in ffrom the West and cold air from the east, so this side of Mt Blanc a dump also expected. Forecast for La Thuile, for example: http://www.ilmeteo.it/meteo/La+Thuile

Turner, Peach, Rodriques, Steele,Blyth......

Even a hand held GPS and a chart would have at least ensured knowing where they were. Standard procedure even in a mate's little Westerly on the Solent at weekends. So maybe the steering was affected. The bridge logs are going to be interesting.

As The Guardian match report stated "The goal came on the break but Southampton looked a side preserving their energies, not one inhibited by Forest. " Even on a stuttering stream the game was a delight to watch.

So far, so good. Yah, Guly!

Yeah, working! Off to the fridge

There should be a stream as the game is showing in the US, ME and Asia and is showing on one of the TV sites. Off to be productive and back in 5 hours.. Hopefully now I've paid I'l be able (HINT, HINT STEVE) to post lots of "hurrah, Guly" or "Laallllana!" type messages. If I don't reappear this afternoon can someone let SG know: he has a very protective spam filter on his email which doesn't like Italian stuff!

Good oh! Skiing in the morning before it gets busy and down to watch the game with supplies from the UK: Marstons Oyster Stout and Pedigree, Fullers Bottle conditioned, then hit the town as we're still on our winter footie break and can sleep in Sunday...

Just had a look at those videos/articles Buctootim mentioned. Ha! Complete blagger, and on Youtube the comments show that the Italian fans realised early on..

I'll have a look later when I have time. Steve Grant - ta for email, sorted online yesterday so check yr account.

Oh dear, I'm 178cm and weigh 77kg. Not sure how much me boobs and bum contribute but at least fit legs!:-) Having a Japanese player certainly adds a new dimension to our team, and although no predictions from me I'm quietly excited. Looks like we've been tracking him for some time.

You're not going to get any reaction out of me..:-)

You haven't really been paying attention, have you?
