That was sung last season and perfectly timed as the last line was sung Jack Cork hoofed a big one up the pitch which most of the stadium joined in the hoooooofff of to great amusement.

Looking For a Golf Society in North Hampshire?
John Boy Saint replied to John Boy Saint's topic in General Sports
Weekdays mainly to keep the cost down, Fridays are the main days, but we do have some Mondays and Thursdays. -
They will be dancing in the streets of Aston Villa when despite their poor goal tally they find out that they ain't bottom of the league.

Pellé getting some stick from our fans.....fair or not?
John Boy Saint replied to david in sweden's topic in The Saints
I have to say that I had a little pop at him in the post match thread as the number of times he flicked on to no one during the game was a little frustrating, admittedly he was surrounded by defenders at the time, but it looked like he hadn't really looked to see who was on before doing it so the attack broke down........ But then it could be said with the pace of Mane and Elia they should have anticipated he was going to do this a little more and been in a position to capitalise on the flicks. Earlier in the season he was an unknown threat with freedom to play, opposition managers earn their money by arranging their team to nullify players like Pelle. -
Post-Match Reaction: Queens Park Rangers 0-1 SAINTS
John Boy Saint replied to Saint-Armstrong's topic in The Saints
i was sat in the TV gantry stand only 9 rows up from the pitch (My Boss and his Son have STs at Loftus Road and one was spare) the first thing you noticed was how shabby the playing surface was looking: very Championship/ League 1. My only gripe to come away from the game with was the "not so" clever back heel flicks from Pelle to Mr Nobody. seemed a few too many of them. Staying with coming away from the ground, it was great to hear the Saints fans singing their hearts out after the final whistle as we made our way back to the car: sounding even sweeter as my boss stomped along under a dirty great black cloud of despondency. -
Blimey this is like the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies with a megalomaniac media Barron Elliot Carver creating his own headlines.

That's good news, I was sat in the Home fans and just watching the minutes tick by without his feet moving was a concern.

I am a member of a Golf Society based in Basingstoke North Hampshire, not that living in the town is the criteria for joining, as we have members from slightly further afield. Recently we have found that our days out have become populated by a hardcore group peppered with an occasional fringe, so I have been charged with drumming up some fresh blood for our monthly sacrifice We are a merry bunch who meet once a month once the clocks go forwards for 36 holes. Our days are typically made up of the obligatory Bacon bun and coffee, then out for 18 holes of playing for the Town Hall Clock. Light lunch then out for 18 holes of Scramble or the like in the groups you played in during the morning, which is invariably just as competitive. Scrub up, Jacket and tie then dinner and awards for the days endeavours. Our current membership is made up of golfers of various abilities, but we all get on regardless. So if you are looking for a Society to join in our locale and would like know more drop me a PM and I will point you in our direction.

Did someone find him after he went missing the other week? Or is that moving to hid somewhere else?

What is worrying is that ITV are going to mount a bid for the Premier League highlights package MOTD currently has. So that will no doubt follow the previous time they had it with a running order of Chelsea, Man City, Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottingham week in week out with adverts between all those games then a shuffle of the rest of teams again peppered with adverts that only show trailers for ITV programmes.

cambridge will be a foreign team to them so it will be like a 2 leg European tie

And superbly assisted by FFP rules!

Chelsea vs Southampton KO moved for TV
John Boy Saint replied to Ulrich van Gobbel's topic in The Saints
Liverpool were on the box 28 times last season in the league which helped push them past City to be Premier League Champions of the money list for last season. -
I'm from Windows and I'm calling to fix your computer
John Boy Saint replied to LVSaint's topic in The Lounge
I actually find the Microsoft ones quite therapeutic depending on my mood when they call. We had the Sky scam where my viewing card was about to expire, I almost got caught as we were just about to head off to the airport for a week away and Saints were on Sky the day we returned so my mind was distracted and the guy on the other end of the phone was very slick, then he put a question in my head and I woke up. Then my Wife had a nasty one where the bloke alledged to be from BT informing us that someone had hacked into our broadband account and our service would be turned off in the next hour. She gave all the Microsoft game responses and hung up and this parasite called back another 2 times getting more irate each time. -
Born in Southampton up the General where the car park now sits, lived in Bitterne till I was five when my little sporting interests parents moved to a then remote village in North Ampshoire as my Dad worked London before the M3 was built. Went to the Village school where after Leeds united slipped off their lofty perch the other kids at school changed Football team allegiances like the Church weather vane in a Tornado. As I liked Football I realised the City I was born in had a team and that was it. My Grandparents lived in Shirley so I was quickly up to speed with the Saints as they had the Echo every night and my Granny would cut out and save everything printed about them for me, pretty much up until when she died in 2001. My Wife bought a brick for her and one for me which is in the Chapel Wall next to each other, shame was she never saw it or the "will The Saints ever get that" new Stadium.

Borax Soap is coming back to the UK...................... My Mum will be delighted!!

Just as an aside: if the snow gets heavier at Anfield and the pitch goes a bit White does the ref have a coloured bottle of magic line in his kit for free kicks?

Shame really after going to the expense of upgrading the screens to HD quality.

Strangely I thought I might stick it on next Saturday just to see that neat trick Elia pulled when hemmed into the touch line on Saturday evening on Showboat.

The scallywag has gone to bed now as he posted at 8:18 saw he got a bite and then his Mum spoiled his fun telling him to turn the light out and go to sleep as he has school in the morning.

Pretty straightforward really Top team v top team (ish) so an easy game to ref as it should be.
