Well, did anyone else on here go? What did you think? I quite enjoyed it and actually laughed quite a lot. It was a liitle bit shambolic at times but still good entertainment. I thought, surprisingly, that Mike Osman was actually pretty funny as were the panalists although Phil Thompson was a bit dry. Agree that Merse came across as a bit of a mess but all in all a good evening IMHO.

Chemin de Terre by Alan Stivell. A magnificent Breton Folk Rock album from the 1970`s Might move on to "Live at the Olympia" also by him next.

The problem with this forum is that every time a situation like this arises, we suddenly split into two camps and bicker when the truth of these matters is very rarely in black and white. I absolutely love MLT for what he did for this club and I hate hearing any negative remarks about him. However, MLT is the past and NC is the here-and-now and quite possibly the future. Whilst he may not have the greatest PR skills, I do like what NC and ML have done for this club and I believe that NC is determined to get us into the big-time. I don`t think that his stated ambitions are so much "hot-air" as some other chairman may spout. For him being chairman is not a popularity contest and I genuinely believe that he wants to make this club a success and has the ability to do so.

I have been watching Saints for over 50 years. I have seen Paine, Sydenham, Channon, Keegan, Ball and all of the others. IMHO Le Tiss has been the best. He has given so much pleasure and enjoyment over the years and shown great loyalty to the club. BUT whilst I would be happy for him and LM to get free entry to matches I am not running the club. I want Saints to be successful and I want a team to be proud of. I might be an old git but I think about the future not the past. The past is gone. Where do you draw the line on freebies? I could name dozens of players who provided great service to the club. Do they all qualify for freebies? I want Saints to get promoted. I want Saints to compete in the PL. I want Saints to compete in the CL. Will it happen? No idea, but I would rather concentrate on these things rather than petty, agenda-orientated arguments which can only cause disruption. Some people really need to grow up!!

I have seen many stupid, ill thought out posts on this forum but this comes close to taking the biscuit. WTF is the matter with people on here??

Either you are a troll par excellence, a very sad twisted individual or a lunatic. To say that Nc hasn`t contributed anything toward our current position is stupid in the extreme. I haven`t put anyone on "ignore" yet but I can feel it coming on.

Sky Soccer Saturday at The Mayflower tonight??

Don`t worry! There are still plenty of "Barrack Room Lawyers" on this forum who are prepared to convict, more often than not without any REAL proof, to keep the "retarded threads" going for a long while yet.

Agreed

Obviously Dune. Classic double bluff.

This is really ****ing me off. I, like most people , think of MLT as being an absolute legend for this club and generally will not hear a thing against him. On the other hand, I feel that NC is doing a good job of rebuilding Saints after what we went through 2 or 3 years ago. I feel that the truth of the situation (as usual) is somewhere in the middle. We have people (over)reacting to an article that appeared in The Sun (yes - The Sun!!) and splitting the the fan-base into pro/anti Cortese/Le Tiss camps. We are top of the Championship, have an excellent squad, a superb manager and the prospects for the future are more positive than we could realistically have hoped for but still we end up with petty arguments, stoked up by the media. FFS get real and enjoy the ride!!

Many mentions of Rodrigues on the commentry??

No doubt this will also come out again at The Mayflower tomorrow night.

Oh Bugger! He`s not back again is he?

"Poacher turned Gamekeeper";)

You don`t think.......no.......surely not! Mind you, he does seem to smile a lot!

Sadly, after us going in to admin and seeing what can happen with lack of financial common sense down the M27, it is.

Reading through this thread it seems to me that the bloke can`t win! "Damned if he does - damned if he don`t."

Not especially PC some of these but still quite funny IMHO:- [TABLE] [TR] [TD][TABLE=width: 100%] [TR] [TD=width: 100%][TABLE] [TR] [TD][TABLE] [TR] [TD][TABLE] [TR] [TD][TABLE] [TR] [TD][TABLE] [TR] [TD]Yoko Ono has been signed up for the next series of 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!' Show bosses think she will do really well since she's been living off a dead beatle for the last thirty years. I got sacked last night from serving in the Salvation Army soup kitchen, ungrateful bleeders, all I said was, 'Hurry up for f*cks sake, some of us have got homes to go to!' Christmas is like any other day for me, sitting at the table with a big fat bird who doesn't gobble anymore. Women should be like golf caddies, either holding your balls or getting your bloody tee ready! Last night I was sitting on the sofa watching tv when I heard my wife's voice from the kitchen, 'What you like for dinner my love, chicken, beef or lamb?' I said, 'Thank you, I'll have chicken please' She replied, 'You're having soup, you fat ba***rd , I was talking to the cat!' Got myself a new Jack Russell puppy, he's mainly black and brown with a small White patch, so I've named him Birmingham . In an Indian restaurant last night having a meal, waiter came over and says, 'Curry OK?' I said, 'Go on then, just one song then bugger off' I was sat in a restaurant and got hit on the back of the head by a prawn cocktail. I looked round and this bloke shouts, 'That's just for starters!' Firemen have just rescued an Irish man with his penis stuck in a condom machine. They asked him what happened and he said, 'The sign says, insert £2 and push knob in'.

If only I was that lucky:cry:

Lets not forget that the stands themselves are named after areas of Southampton surrounding the stadium.

Irony alert!! How about Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin? Everyone would know where they came from.
