John Boy Saint

A few folks I was with today were pretty disappointed with the demise of Crantocks Traditional Cornish Pasties from the bill of fair of the stadium catering instead they have replaced them with Pukka Pies super cheapo, by comparison, offering over the past few seasons the Pasty has become a Matchday regular. Well as of today it looks like we will be probably just be putting our hands in our pockets for a beer. Previously we have just rolled with the prices as the environment we are in you expect to pay through the nose. However when a Hot Dog a very disappointing Pasty and 2 bottles of water came to £11 the crap Pasty alone brought that into focus. Shame really just to save a few pennies the club has lost £40 at least through their tills for the next 18 home matches!

I would compare him to Paul Telfer, as an honest professional in the Roadsweeper role of the Lawrie McMenemy blueprint of a good football team where the Violinists are nothing without them. Danny was a positive influence in our rise back to the top, I am sure he will have a positive influence on Carlisle. In these days of mercenary footballers it's always refreshing to see a player who just wants to play for playings sake. Good luck Danny and thank you.

That shows in what he had done to his Rolls Royce, Blacked out windows, that Stealth Matt Black paintwork, matching black rims and to top it off 1980s'esk Bright red rim protectors. Regardless of the obscene cost there must have been grown men crying their eyes out in Goodwood as that meandered past them. Stick a car like that in everyone's faces, then put in a very lukewarm performance like he did on Saturday, you have to wonder where's his motivation. That said no ill will wished on him.

I Bagsy Noughts!! Having been evicted I can't work out if this season I will have an S A or Hash under my backside!!

............................ Or Jonno Quick!!! (or have I missed the point and gone back to League 1?). I like it up here, playing now and again. Having weekends to do other stuff, not having to rush home midweek for a game. Getting that less frequent fix of Football makes matchdays even more exciting.

Looks like we dodged a bullet there, I know playing back up at Man U would often be the case for a nipper (Master Shaw take note). But here is another story of a money grabbing parent cashing in on their gifted child way too early, instead of letting them mature a little more for a far better return......... Unless of course they might have known he was average and cashed in before the bubble they found themselves in burst.

Just watching Arsenal playing Fenebache in Turkey, when ever you watch football in Turkey the volume from the crowd sounds ear piecing loud (as I type they are just having a breather). Has anyone ever been or would like to go if Saints hit the heady heights of European footy and draw a side our there, just to experience the atmosphere.

What part of not being poor anymore and needy do the press not understand? But then we have a raft of folks even on here who still think that we are still under the same monetary hardships we were before the dark clouds of Administration descended upon us. I would imagine that the battle lines for players of this calibre are already drawn up, and like has been said above anyone getting to the negotiating table is going to made to touch their toes.

I thought the chat when aap3 were announced was that the club wanted to promote a local business and that the income from shirt sponsorship was not top priority.

Sorry I can account for 2 off the Wigan fixture, we had to go to a family Wedding in Wales which conveniently put us in the right area for inspecting Student Accom for our Daughter.................. oh hang on a minute we have season tickets so we were there: carry on.

As has already been said, a long ball does not have to be a hot potato HOOOOF up field, WBA were working JWP and young Callum most of the time, while Luke Shaw was reading Tolstoy out on the left wing Jose spotted this and when Luke had finished another chapter Jose would send over a Hollywood ball to stop him feeling left out.

Here we go: most apt where living anywhere else is concerned http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10tee6Eff34

They had Ringwood Brewery Bitter on tap as the guest ale on the away concourse at the AMEX season before last.

Gary Neville just emphasised how bad Carragher was, it was almost like someone upstairs in Sky hates all things Liverpool and thought this would be a wheeze to have a Scouser shown up by a Manc. I turned round to my Missus after about 2 minutes of him and said that I felt worn out just listening to him. The other one who might not last is Paul Robinson, he was on Soccer Saturday I think a couple of weeks back talk about the cure for insomnia: someone should have wired his chair into the mains to give him a jolt. At least with Merson you get the Clown factor (and having played for the skates, just fuels our view of our friends down the M27) and Dowie when he is at the match reporting always has a face on him like he has just seen Paul Robinson get the the electric shock off his chair.

Something missing across this discussion is the fact that before we were saved, we were servicing debts like the Stadium mortgage amongst other bits and bobs, which is a bit of a draw on resources. I would imagine there are a fair few in this thread with a mortgage on a house, when the lottery numbers come out those who are playing it deep down would be delighted to win enough to pay it off as they know how much more comfortable their life would become with possibly their largest outlay per month evaporating.

........ I am sure that I read somewhere, possibly on here (which dilutes this somewhat) that we also stitched a 25% sell on clause into the deal.

Some of these regular sellers that are more like shops on eBay will jack the price of an item just to keep their listing count up and which counts towards their better position higher up the search order is maintained. Someone I know does a bit of this trading and he explained it along the lines above, when I questioned in conversation that Heston blokes Waitrose Christmas Pudding with a Crystalised Orange inside being on eBay for £200 yet most of the others were on at £15-£20.

So we obviously got a bucket of money when he signed for them, which if reports are true we demanded in full "in cash", then we stick this little gem into the mix. The cover photo on the Leeds programme, the Saturday before the deal was done on the Thursday, of Cortese standing in a purposeful slightly menacing manner takes on even more significance. Surely it screws the maximum earning potential of Oxo which in turn will impact on his Mum & Dad as their greed in cashing in on their son led to the move in the first place. It also sends out a message to any other parents thinking along the same lines as the Chamberlains, who took Alex for a medical at Arsenal during the season he exploded onto the scene with us. They thought they being clever by sneaking him up there, but Saints knew it had happened but obviously kept their powder dry. It certainly is a sting in the tale. It will probably make sure that the player will open his mouth if any other parent or agent comes up with the same bright idea as the Chamberlains: as it must do Alex's head in not to able to play full games. Apparently Man Utd are playing games with the Lad Jones (sure its him) Who they got from Millwall he has an appearance payment trigger condition as part of the deal when he was sold, which Man U were Weaseling about with last season............... This also makes a mockery of the England selection process as both these lads are in and around the first squad choice yet they are very unlikely to get 20 minutes for their team!!!!

Hughes might get it just for flying to Italy to see Osvaldo while he was flying to sign with us.

But when the red dot of the laser sight is sat right between the eyes of Maya Yoshida in THE THREAD TITLE - WHAT DO YOU EXPECT!!??!! 39 posts! In case you haven't been folliowing life on here for long most threads are world championship Chinese Whispers waiting to happen, and as the thread develops most folks supply answers or comment as the "conversation" develops.

Osvaldo and Fernando of Abba fame popped into my head, but being tone deaf it's gone flat from there:( But referring to the Johnny Depp likeness there must be something in the Sweeney Todd song book.

So he could nip round the back get his funny glasses, fake beard, Moustache, and wig on!!!

This You Tube Malarky is a bit like the PA system at the village fete on a wet and windy day. Or as my Dad would say N B G!

I think if Rickie was on a Hatrick Super Frank might well have deferred to Rickie.

back right next to the trainer?
