  1. Just wanna mention how class this player is! He really has come on this season, and today he was brilliant. I see in the other thread on best starting 11 I see people are dropping him already? Sorry but he's in my 1st 11. He is also incrediblely good in the air. What's your thoughts ?

    Absolutely agree. Was saying the same to my lad on the way home.

  2. Can't say I was expecting that with the number of injuries England had, but I'll take it!

     

    England have great strength in depth and this was shown tonight. Great performance. (Currently crying into my beer!!).

  3. Pretty much, yes.

     

    In stadiums of many thousands of seats you are going to get single seats dotted throughout that are hard to sell. Most people go to matches with at least one other person. When a club says a game is a "sellout", it is effectively a sellout to anyone that wants to go to a game and not sit on their own.

     

    Do you not think that is the case?

     

    There has been nobody sat in the single seat next to me all season.

  4. The Deloitte rich list has us as the 25th richest football club in the universe. How I do wish we weren't, and that our players were paid in pizza for fixing up the changing rooms. When my son was watching us beat Man U the other day, the first thing he said was, "why can't we be more like Pompey daddy, and lose to Newport?"

     

    So we are 25th in the world. Do we know whee the Skates lie in that table?

  5. 1969 aged 5. Living in South Wales decided I needed to support a team. Looked through one of those sticker albums (before Panini) and wanted to find a team with a player called Ron, which was my Dad's name. Finally found Ron Davies who was Welsh, and we lived in Davies Avenue, so it was destiny. Supported Saints ever since. I was famous at school as the odd boy who supported unfashionable Saints as opposed to Man Utd, Liverpool and Leeds who everyone else supported. As you can imagine 1976 was a good year!

     

    Now I still live 120 miles away which is about the closest I've ever got but have had a season ticket since St Mary's opened with my eldest son who is now 20. He now travels down from Sheffield every game to meet me to travel down to St Mary's and so I am to blame for giving him the bug. Mind you it's pretty good at the moment!

     

    I don't know where I'd be without Saints as it is such a major part of my life and all started by a magnificent person called Ron Davies!

  6. Good reason to wear a helmet, Last time I was at Bansko there were a few out of control Greeks. How was the snow, heard it was a bit patchy there. Most resorts are struggling this season

     

    Yes good snow at the top but the lower slopes were quite icy. I felt sorry for beginners struggling to get back to the top of the bubble.

  7. Bet there were a few man u fans in there giving it large, loved to have seen the smiles wiped off the faces. Glad to see your having a great time and enjoying the cheap beers.

     

    Great week Steve which is now at its end. Got absolutely flattened/taken out yesterday by some young **** - didn't know anything about it until he hit me from behind. Saw stars and my ski pole was bent at 45 degrees but luckily didn't get injured. So many of these out of control arseholes. Lucky I was wearing a helmet!

  8. No problem have a great holiday

     

    Having a great time! Snow could be better and very cold but the cheap beer more than makes up for it. Particularly enjoyed Saints beating Man U yesterday in the Queen's Bar!
