But we had pummelled them so much, that they couldn't take advantage or were scared too!!

Certainly did v Citeh!

Living near the "border" town of Basingstoke it was amusing to see swathes of empty blue seats at Reading over Kamaras shoulder with 10 minutes still to play, methinks there will be a drop off of hooped shirts in town for the rest of the weekend: sadly only to be replaced with Chelsea blue.

Lawrie Mac tells the story that when Saints signed Kevin Keegan Saints doubled the ticket prices and no one batted an eyelid. Would have been interesting to see the thread on here if the infernal net had existed way back then. I recall paying 90p as a nipper back in 1978 when we kicked of in the then Division 1, my ticket for the League cup final at Wembley the following Spring was a humongous £2.50. Bit scary compared to JPT final tickets for 4 of us in Club Wembley costing over £200.

The Golden Yak in Khoroo 2 might be worth a go

Bet his Mum told him off for having his photo taken with muddy knees!! Good luck young Dan.

I had a piece published in the programme 10 years ago about this subject. My youngest daughter always called the migration of the "ants" at 40 minutes for beer and 85 to escape the rush. We played Man U on the last day of August 2003 it was a 2pm kick off for pay per view. There was absolutely no sound reason to bail early, but as the clock clicked from 84:59 to 85:00 my daughter called the exodus. The game was poised at 0-0 on 88:00 Le Saux put in a corner, Ormerod distracted Howard and Beattie rose majestically to nod the ball into the net, the roar was immense those walking away from SMS must have been gutted!!

Happy Birthday That is an illustrious judging panel, hats off to you for getting something out of them. Keep up the good work.

Turning the hot water on to come out of the Hot taps would be a treat, the last few weeks in the Chapel facilities it has been like an away fan with cold from both taps!! Then no Ketchup for your hot dog, sorry hot Puppy, and increasingly smaller cups of coffee: methinks with the increasingly shoddy concourse customer service Dyson air blades are in the "not in this Millenium" category. HTH

Beat me to the question: I think I blinked and missed something.

So WGS wasn't exaggerating when he told Sir Alex that Dion was magnificent one day in the changing rooms not long after Dublin joined the club.

That Eagle almost caused a comedy moment when we played there last Easter, the teams were being lead out by the Ref and his assistants as the Eagle was sent out on another fly past, being such a big bird on a short flight it had its flight plan for landing on the the other chaps hand worked out so it's approach arc took it straight towards the procession. The referee seeing such a massive bird flying towards him at suddenly took fright and stopped dead and the two lines of players nearly piled into the back of him and each other like pile up on the motorway!!

I recall Blackpool rocking up with a drum once and after 10 minutes they had it taken off them.

He did, he ran across, I thought it was, Cork just as he was about to loft it into the box it seemed distraction enough.

Licky Rambert did it to himself on that Crossbar challenge filmed at the Montjuic stadium in Barcelona recently, since he did it it does stick in your head a little bit.

Apparently Pochettinos Style will include some Sabre sharpening classes over the next couple of weeks.

I think Rodriguez has become the fly in the Ramirez ointment, probably even more so as with a Spanish father he will have a good command of the language. He seems a bit more at the races when he rotates into the "Ramirez" position. At the moment Ramirez doesn't seem to have the minerals for the Premier League, probably a bit miffed too that we the fans are not bowing down at his feet in adulation at his price tag alone.

38 on the clock and this game is a turgid dirge, versus last nights extraviganza it is league 2 by comparison possibly even unibond league

In the Man U second half highlights on Sky the commentator said that Pep Guardiola commented that "you don't go looking for Pochettino's teams: they come looking for you!!". Last nights display illustrated that comment in bright red neon lights. Superb!

J-Rod was hanging at the end, but he worked like a dog the whole game. I must admit to play with that intensity for 97 minutes was very impressive, but there was a lot of intelligent making the ball do the work. 2 weeks before Newcastle on last nights performance we should be immense by then.

What a shame it was on ESPN as we don't all get to see a more balanced view from the atrocious BBC edit on Footie first. Johnathan Pearce also has spent far too much time with our fishy friends while we were away from the prem.

If you look at Citehs goal that came from Atkinson running across the line of sight of Cork just as he was about to lift it into the box he did this on more than one occasion.

Heard a variation on this too when the deal was announced, I think the more people that talk about this major fact the less confident football clubs will be to pull all our pants down and bend us over.
