Bit carp considering how often we have sold out for away games that some narrow minded thinking has gone on in the ticket office to take just the smallest amount with the game being just up the road. Or is someone on a bonus with the £10 saving "ooo we sold out and still have £15k in the pot".

The bill for just opening the bonnet on an Audi will work out about the same as a full service on a Nissan...........ish.

If you want to get a good view of the City as you have a few days to squeeze it all in. I can recommend the tour linked below, 9hrs seems a long time but it certainly didn't feel like it when we reached the end, a good thing with this tour is that the group you could be in is nice and small. If you go for it don't bulk up with breakfast as you will go to Chelsea food market and the choices are vast. https://www.newyorktourshuttle.com

That's the (ahem) new names for the group stage err groups of the CL, I would recommend setting up a Direct Debit with The Cat because he wont have them at a ton for long.

Birmingham parent company into administration
John Boy Saint replied to Winchester Red's topic in The Saints
Didn't he try to use the loop hole Derby used when they fell on stony ground, having not realised that the weak and weary Blazers in charge of the FL (Football in general really) were reactionary rather than proactive, and having seen the Derby swerve promptly closed that loop hole smartish, but we fell right into the remaining black hole and got hammered after arguing without a leg to stand on? -
This was a very strange front cover, but by Thursday of the same week the intent in the pose made a bit more sense when he screwed Arsenal to floor with the Oxo.

I have always liked Yoshida as he has a brain between his ears that processes what is going on around him well, and is pretty much always strong in the air. After taking a kick in the chops off Cole and the ref F'ing about getting treatment on the pitch (it's a full on boot in the face that's a head injury ref, you get the magic sponge men on regardless: thank goodness Mr East was on his game at QPR when young Matthew was clattered and it wasn't this clown) Maya was back into action frustrating My Little Donkey with aerial supremacy, which resulted in Carroll committing no end of pushes and shoves while Yoshida was in the air that would have been a penalty in Rugby all day long. Then it looked like Japanese Rope-a-dope, yet again the ball was punted up towards Carroll and knowing Maya had the measure of him and decided not to win the ball but to win a free kick by feigning injury by contact, what he didn't expect was for Yoshida to take a step away from him win the ball and the Donkey got injured in the process as his intended point of contact had moved causing him to fall to the ground awkwardly crocking him for the rest of the game.

I looked at the time as we went past the Student fag butt, saw it was 10pm and thought, Bugger! The bloody cone trolls will be closing 10 miles of motorway to 1 lane just to look into a little hole in the road Went via Romsey and back roads to Basingstoke took about 20mins longer.

I find it a amazing that no matter who the manager is we persist in faffing about playing "after you Claude" "no I couldn't, after you please" with the bloody ball. Just bloody light it you never know where it might deflect to. Very frustrating evening, especially as West Ham resorted to type with their style of play. Harry Reed was my MOTM tonight, always ready to pounce.

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?

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.
