I'm sure I remember an open top bus on the way back from Cardiff...

He normally is.

Wasn't it the case that at one of the fans' dinners with Cortese it was stated that there were hundreds on the instalment plan who stopped paying and didn't surrender their tickets which was why the scheme was knocked on the head. Electronic barriers or a swipe card system should help that.

If it's any consolation it was a crap year for snow... Let's hope next year is good for both ssnow and footie!

Do any of you think one or two of the youngsters should get a try out at some stage as I really can't see (cough, cough) Hudds getting double figures? If so, which ones?

OK. All of you. Raise your last pint before the game or first pint after (or red wine or G&T) to absent friends. All those who'd like to be there but can't make it. We'll be with you in spirit.

oh, go on, pretend you're US ATC and at least listen in.... Still, I'm sure you'll make up for it.... The more I think about it, the more a hazy afternoon appeals...

Bastards all of you!;-) I shall be listening to Saints player and breaking my local rule by drinking in the afternoon. What I find disturbing is that I know quite a number of those pubs. If I were there I'd probably end up at The Junction at some stage, then back via a long walk to my friends put-you-up via The Bent Brief (if the beer's ok), The Wellington, possibly The Waterloo. I might go down to the local brew pub: actually, it's just occurred to me I could keep in with the tradition and see if they're open at lunchtime... PS: Brussels Saint; if you think they don't use indicators on roundabouts visit Italy. The French in comparison are paragons of virtue. PPS: DP: flights are extortionate from Geneva as well:-(

Could only listen from afar on Saints Player (I eventually cracked and paid for it) and the noise from you lot is part of what made the expense justified! Well done all. Hope to help out in a couple of game at the start of the season as well as my usual Christmas games...

Whee! The other week I was tempting fate by asking when the first Championship fixtures were so that I could make sure I was in the UK. Might have to stay a little longer than expected but who's complaining! Had to work today at school and then a private lesson when I got home. I'm afraid she didn't get my full attention at first as I kept glancing at the 'puter but at 3-0 even I, a hardened and experienced Saints cynic and worrier, stopped worrying and relaxed. Now on one of my last two bottles of Young's bitter. Enjoy Walsall, all of you! I did plan to come over at the start of the season - I thought it would be an important match - but maybe not quite such a relaxed affair... Can't make it now but the Saints diaspora continue to support through thin and thick! If only there could be an internet feed: please someone.

penalty Saints

Nah, we're remembering with quiet, satisfied smiles...

Nah, footie and skiing (I live in the Alps so have a season ticket here). Used to sail and ride when I lived in 'Ampshire.

For all the talk about football clubs' parlous finances they don't do much to help themselves, do they? How many more would Saints have taken? Worth another 25 - 50k plus catering sales and programmes? Less the cost of a few extra stewards, perhaps? Monday is not a holiday here so I'm working and will be rushing home to listen to the commentary. Ah, just remembered I have a private lesson when I get home - I'm sure she'll come half hour later than usual! Off to text!

Back at Christmas I was already making sure a friend could get me a ticket for Walsall if I needed it. As it happens teaching commitments and the cost of the flights over mean I can't make it, but it's not much of a surprise that it's going to be a sell-out. That's been apparent for some weeks now.

No, that would be me, but I never get my hopes up as I doubt she's lesbian.;-) Mind you, maybe I'm on the turn as I thought the brother was very handsome and fit, and did his reading extremely well. Perhaps DubaiP is right and I'll be off to the gym but actually my arse is not bad (I do a bit of sport) but I do like my food and wine so could lose a bit off me tum. Not much mind. Off to open a bottle, in fact....

2-2 at Withdean

strikers goal!!!

Lallana

OK, fammi sapere e faccio qualche domande in giro.. Oviamente Berlu e un coglione ma delle Della Valle non conosco un cazzo, so if you let me know I'll make some enquiries.

bloomin' 'eck. That's a very sad, but probably a very accurate summary for all of us!

I'm so good I don't bother practising anymore.

Couldn't we just give Walsall a hospitality box and then we could have the whole corner?

I remember once at The Dell when all the stewards went to the Milton and Archer's road ends. Up went the cry "You'll never stop the East Stand".. heh heh. Ruined their planning!
