John Boy Saint

Brother in Law is a ST at Chelsea he reckons there is a voucher on the back of all plane tickets from the Far East for free entry to Chelsea as he has different ones each week sat around him. So no worries on that front.

Blimey after all this Stalkering going on and whipping up of a frenzy on here, I hope that Man U haven't sent an envoy to the airport to intercept him a la Diego Forlan while Middlesborough representatives were waiting outside Smoggie Central rail station for him!!

Back to the player of the thread: A trip before the beak pending for something as serious as rape! Barney still waiting for a trip before the beak for allegedly bottling someone. Do we have Solicitors lined up for the next shirt sponsor?! I would imagine the cloud hanging over Barney alone would see us giving Evans a miss until after April/May as Sheffield Utd will want to get top dollar for him. Should he be found guilty how many folks would be impressed at us shelling out what would be over the odds for someone who could be doing porridge for a while.

Looks very nice from the outside, but a bit of a let down inside, main stand aside. Toilets were a bit of a bun fight. Padded seats were pleasant warmed your backside up nicely when you sat down at half time. Being 5'2" and having to stand up Mrs JBS found her view quite restricted compared to the Mad Stad. Amazingly they ran out of Fosters and (what I thought was a nice touch) Ringwood Bitter. Pies were nice although could have been warmer. Access to and from the Station very good. At the end of the day far better than the Withdean and the 5h!tty stick they have had to carry since the Goldstone ground was sold from under them.

Brighton were on a mission to get us down to 10 men, soon as Harding was wrongly booked all their players were on a mission to secure a swift second as they knew D'Urso was being sold on their antics. With regard to Rickies sending off my view was blocked however for a bloke who Rickie had just assassinated boy did he lash out with his feet as Rickie was getting up which D'Urso chose to ignore. As the game proceeded the more shonky decisions D'Urso made the more I felt in the back of my mind that this was a Referees Union directed game after Peter Waltons woeful display in our favour.

Iceberg iceberg iceberg!!!!!!! Everyone to the lifeboats!!!!! Everyman for himself!!!!!! ..........................................er um false alarm it was just a funny shaped cloud on the horizon.......... Sorry. There are some folks on here that Health & Safety dictats were invented for, it's surprising that we don't have to take our belts off and remove our shoelaces before going into SMS

Missed the TO out of that after returning from the attic where I have been sawing cast iron water pipe in a difficult spot!! Thought it was all over!!! Bloomin Monkey. Phew!!!!!

The last 3 outings of that relay race have certainly been punctuated by events that have drawn a loud input from the crowd. Simple, safe ( unless you were that unfortunate young lady last night in the Chapel corner) and a bit of fun for the onlookers. It must be great for the kids taking part too. I reckon one week they should pull a few lads (or Ladys) from the Beer queue and see how they fair, that could be very amusing.

I can't believe the complete cods wallop aimed at Aaron Martin, " oh he's not a footballer" "the team have no confidence in him" what complete and utter tosh! Fonte is a very accomplished CB keeping AM out of the side without a doubt, if for whatever reason AM was playing week in week out keeping Fonte out of the team if the roles were reversed, Fonte would come in and he would be copping a slating. He is a very young lad without the benefit of academy life at Southampton and in reality he has ability beyond his years and experience and has never let us down on the pitch when he has played. (anyone say penalty v Leeds first day of the season should go to the stupid step straight away!!). Simple question for all you negative thinkers who would you prefer to be the next man in line for a centre back position between these 3 only: Martin or Cranie or Lancashire

I think as last nights game proved its time to dust off the League one book of winning games. As I predicted if we were where we are now teams fighting for their lives are going to play for a draw against us rather than getting smashed into next week by going for a win, and as we saw last night a fortuitous bounce of the ball saw the 4th bottom club go home with 3 points. Crystal Palace came to play and we beat them without knocking it into top gear. Many of those away days to come are against sides who will want to play against us and play to win, which falls right into our hands as it opens the space for us to play our expansive style of Football in. The one thing I instantly liked when we first came down to the Championship was turning up to a game where you had no idea what the result would be as a result of its competitive nature, as opposed to the Premiership where week in week out the immensely rich would roll into town and the first thought in the back of your mind was "I hope we don't get battered". We have bucked the trend overall for the first half of the season now it is time to test our mettle. QPR didn't have it all their own way last season.

Cortese is not stupid, I recall something someone said from Nicola that when Pardew left Puncheons attitude went downhill. Adkins was Cortese first choice on the list and what he has brought to the table has backed up his position on that list so until something goes really very wrong he will back him all day long.

Just one of those nights where we could have played till midnight and Bristol been down to 5 men. Like someone said like Walsall away last year and Oldham at home the season before. After a fair start from the ref he quickly set his crap stall out. And to be fair to Bristol there were times in the first half where for general play you wondered how they were so low in the league. You could also tell it was not our night with the bounce of the ball and the like. In reality to get a home loss out of the system might not do us any harm as regardless of whatever team you are to go so long with such a good record at home must bring pressure of its own. Ah well soon be Monday

Pitch was a bit rough Clattenburg was the ref and did a good job, we set our stall out ran them ragged then let them have a run about, then Barney popped up to slot one from a supposed offside position then went and upset the locals with his celebration. Ref blew the whistle we all sung like loons for ages and the little people with flats in the corners went back inside like figures on the town clock having done their hourly display. We all went home with smiles on our faces.

Methinks you have to have linked technology, although might just be the timer control and the thermostat that need to be upgraded. If it is, ours is a Honeywell system with Wireless control so that might be a starting point for you.

Getting the impression that the ticket office press releases and information supply is a little bit "I love me" "we are smokin behind this glass". They don't seem to have grasped the fact that old maxim "build it and they will come" is now coming into play, so rather than whipping up a selling storm they now need to just give folks the facts. If a week before an away game we still have tickets then ramp up the BS, to get the rest sold. To have loads of folks outside the stadium from stupid o'clock in the morning for just 150 tickets is not clever especially as the majority will miss out. What good does that do? It does no good at all as it just leaves a bitter taste not for missing out but for the lack of transparency in the first place. Thankfully I got mine in the original round of sales.

Move along: 3 pages! Nothing to see here........................................................ apart from the You Tube footage of the Landlady flailing in the Christmas Tree: come on there must have been at least one iPhone on the premises!!

Didnt realise the Juventus "connection" to Notts County, in these times of money money money very nice touch from the recently dodgy Juventus

Scrub the mould off walls with bleach then paint with mould inhibiting bathroom paint

What another one!!! Cripes twice in one night!!! They know how to party them Scousers!

Give folks a few days off at Christmas and persistent intake of incahol, mince pies, cheese, Christmas pudding, more incahol, nuts chocolates etc etc seems to have a hallucinogenic effect.

Ooooo! I got a big AXE!!!!

I have a TAG Heuer that was the result of a previous one being spirited away off my wrist by a big wave on the beach in Spain, insurance coughed up new for old and I replaced it with a similar looking one which had to come from the facory in Switzerland as no stock existed here. It's only a basic Aquaracer but when having a look in the TAG shops and consessions around the place always draws comments. For doing heavy work I have self winding Citizen, which once you build up a head of steam in the spring is as good as gold, especially for £19.95

If you do it yourself just watch the electrics bit, as given the merest excuse the insurance companies will look for ant excuse to weasel out of coughing up, thanks to some MP giving himself a buzz off the elastictrickery he put into place a pretty ruling that stuffs up DIY Sparks of any sort.

You had me believing this was all possible until you went and put that stupid line in the middle! Maybe a few times this season, but next? we will be kicking off at Sky o'clock and not see a 3pm kick off on a Saturday until 23rd February!!
