John Boy Saint

If you are driving up on the M6 leave plenty of time as it’s cone city from pretty much Stafford to just south of Manchester, your restricted view could be the back of a National Express coach!!

Mine was appalling this afternoon.

So glad it’s not next Sunday morning and I am seeing this can after the usual boozy dinner round at the Bosses house!! Even more so after a lethal gambol through his assortment of Eastern European home made farmers rocket fuels.

Earth is Round..........oh and Elvis is Dead!! But just keep those 2 little nuggets quiet and under your hat........ stuff like that getting out on here would be like a forest fire surrounding a dynamite factory!

Cripes have bloody Sky moved it again?!........Barstewards!!............(do pay attention James ) Aside from that he will have no problem parking and take as long as he likes over lunch as there will be no rush to get to the ground on the 2nd Oct as the team will be on Merseyside - just got to hope he packs enough fresh pairs of undercrackers to last 5 days!!!

Oh do keep up!!...........Matt Oakley...........everyone knows that!!

Hooray all is well in the world once more

You must get that dyslexia seen to

A friend of a friend knows someone who works in Porton Down, and the word is the Russians are more piddled off by the fact that we knew it was Novichok so quickly if at all, they thought it was still their secret.

Burt Reynolds has passed away....................... that bloody trap door keep creeping closer! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-45441860 Might have to blow the dust off Deliverance..........probably his best film to show he could do serious. If you ain't seen it Kids turn off the phone switch off the lights.........tell us what you think at the end! RIP Burt

Cheers for that - certainly does add a bit more spice to the mix, especially for battling "minnows" like Norn Iron as it gives them a chance of a joker to play...............so are we unlikely to see a gazillion subs at half time to make the game a dull affair by the final whistle.

I figured it was probably because of the reasons given above, I guess given the low key nature of this competition at this stage, the negotiations for the main club sponsor to be on the shirts would cost more than the return that having it there for non streamed games in front of 554 people. To be honest I quite like the shirt without the additional clutter on the front..........squad numbers of 60, 62 etc are quite strange though.

Looking at the photos on the OS, anyone have any explanation as to why the team shirts didn't have our title sponsor Virgin on them?

Rhythm Stick

Wales v the part timers of Denmark might be interesting..........thats if they are still on strike

Much prefer to be sat at games alongside Mrs JBS with her measured knowledgeable opinion on the game before her eyes, than some of the winkles sat around me who spout absolute drivel and cobblers about the same game! Perhaps every football fan needs to sit an entrance exam to gain a license which shows that they are of a suitable standard of character and mental aptitude to be given the responsibility to purchase a ticket and enter a football stadia. Maybe, just for fun, during the next International break my old mate Turkish could cobble together the sort of questions he would ask to pass such an exam, just to see who would be allowed into his Football Stadium Utopia

Alas that was looking after our sprouts night while Mrs JBS was at work, I recall looking on Teletext thinking that record from 1972 (or whenever) is going down the pan, page refreshed “oh maybe not”.......refreshed on full time “wow that must have been fun” Next night on South Today they showed the highlights with the Solent commentary overlaid, almost made up for missing it in person, the Solent tater must have been hosed down at the final whistle just to stop him spontaneously combusting. I did ask South Today if there was some way of seeing if it was still in their archive when a similar thread came up, sadly no joy.

Like the “Dad” somewhere in the crowd hollering “Get into Them!!!! “ when we had the ball.

Boom Tish! only fair recognition as it was quite good.

WooHoo! Hope you had a nice time. ..........did worry you might have had your collar felt for doing something to someone with a clacker!!

Think we lost to Norwich 1-0 at SMS the night before the window closed and he, and Skacel, went off the books on loan the next day. He put in a monumental effort for once, on more than one occasion folks dotted about independently piped up with a re occurring comment along the lines of “drug testers will be waiting for him in the tunnel tonight!!”

I was sat alongside my Boss who had taken me on his sons ST in amongst the QPR fans, thankfully just as Mane pulled the trigger he uttered “oh dear here we go” that just checked me from jumping up and cheering........especially as there was a big bloke behind me who had probably eaten his family before heading out to the game, who was calling Elia a Jessie and all sorts for staying down a bit too long in his mind, after he just taken a QPR boot flat out straight into the Wedding Vegetables. I turned round and said to him that I think he could be granted some slack as I doubt many of us Chaps would be getting up too quick from a full volley right in the Genitalmens department.......... Boss whispered blimey that was brave!

My gobby mate was knocked off the wall at the Milton Road end by Phil Boyer, he was chatting up the 2 girls who had been claiming to be Trevor Hebberd and Austin Hayes sisters for weeks. He was sat on top of the wall, back to the pitch,while the players were having their 5 minute warm up before the kick off one second there he is 13year old King Gob of the Milton, next second he is laying on the floor at our feet in a crumpled heap, all of us “in his court” crying our eyes out trying not to wet ourselves with laughter. I swear Phil Boyer had just won a few of quid off a couple of players because he was failing to hide his smile as my mate hauled himself to his feet and we were still laughing.

Did we sign him from Young Boys?

Tried Radio Essex or whatever it’s called?
