Gray..

..Branfoot..

Interesting to see that they've opened a couple of temporary ticket positions just for the walk-ups for the Ajax game... they seem on the ball and even better, expecting a biiigggg crowd. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1725386,00.html

Don't spoil the good feelings. Booked my ferry tickets yesterday! I'm even going to put my Saints stickers back in the car window (removed on a visit to P********h, and too depressed to replace) ready for my trip through Switzerland.

£5 sent with online banking, but last August date in the reference, I'm sure you'll work it out!

..and he lost his kit when he had to change...

At my location! Bit far for an away trip, I'd have thought. Anyway, although it's true I only said it to make DubaiPhil jealous. Aaah, Summer Lightning, TT Landlord...at my age I have to train like mad to keep the weight off, so it's just as well I don't visit the UK much!

How about adapting a Swiss chant.. instead of 'Hopp Schwiiz' have 'Hopp Saints' - easy.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWEjqGxqJuM&feature=related

Incidentally, I have some bottles of Fullers in my cellar here plus Adnams Broadside, ordinary, Pedigree...and I didn't understand Saint Fan Cam's comment either.

Crikey, I didn't realise it was match day already... Looking forward to my visit to the UK and although I don't normally go in for lunchtime drinking I always make an exception for match days, and end up crashing on (into,over) peoples' sofas. Oh, and I think the answer is boh (accompanied by an Italian shrug of the shoulders).

That's what I checked this thread for, good. As for whether we should be there, I'd leave that discussion to another place. I will say that I've taught English to Afghani refugees including women, and if we do withdraw I hope you all accept an increase in such refugees.

B******s, that is so easy to say, just as it is easy for people in care to throw out accusations, especially when compensation is in view or they feel powerful for the first time in their lives. Sometimes you wonder why anyone would want to be a teacher, care worker, support staff etc. He was aquitted after a full and stressful investigation and court case. No wonder he couldn't do a decent job at the time, and in that respect both DJ and RL had my sympathies.

I'd actually agree with chi saint about RL and KB, and that's saying something. I'll be in that neck of the woods soon for me holidays. I'm a former member of the Emsworth and Bosham Saints Fan Federation: I elected myself unopposed.:-)

The 5 quid is in the post....

Sorry if this has been posted, but I only just noticed this Guardian blog about Ken Bates and Leeds. A bit lengthy but fascinating all the dodgy dealings there are in football and it underlines how it could have been worse for us: http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/david-conn-inside-sport-blog/2009/jul/10/ken-bates-libel-trial-defeat-leeds-united-full-story

Amen..

Only 15 players training?? Sounds like Hampshire Ladies footie div 2, or mate's pub team! Don't they have a reserve team or er... a squad.??

I'm driving through Switzerland on my way to the Millwall game, so I'll see if I can't get one (or two or more?) and I presume they'll be a bit cheaper there as well. The question is.. what size??

I like that even better than Dubaip's post. If he's crap i we won't get any money for him. If he's in demand perhaps some of the critics might like to weigh their credentials against football professionals who think he's worth spending money on. Either way, can we all please wait for some performances from a fully fit player, please, before commenting more, whether positively or negatively...

Whoosh. Tone has just fallen of a cliff, but I did rather telegraph that pass...:-) Incidentally, in the Swiss press release I thought "how true"... the club has a modern stadium, good training possibilities and a first-class new generation department. It is guessed/advised without own being to blame for into the misery: “There were too many groups, among themselves fought each other.” Anyway, I can now scrub out the question mark alongside Millwall in my diary - not that /I/ didn't intend to make it, you understand!!

Got to be done! But you're right about pacing oneself. My good news is that the locksmith finally came and opened up my cantina (key lost in circumstances it's best I don't fully relate involving a ride home from a vineyard down a very steep road..) so now I have access to Pedigree, Adnams, Fullers.. as well as some great local wine. I'm having a debauched month before I have to get into training for next footie season and as I'm an ultra-veteran it gets harder every year...

I'm over from Italy for August seeing aged parent and friends around the country. Having friends in Leeds, Harrogate and Huddersfield I thought I'd try to make the Huddersfield game, any recommendations for pubs??
