John Boy Saint

At last a win, just need to get rid of the magnet down the left side expanding the play, the biggest frustration seeing Lloyd James probably our best crosser of the ball doing The Times crossword while school playground sheep football up cul de sac's was being played on the other side of the pitch. Nice to see the dice of dodgy decisions being rolled in our direction for a change, that said the ref looked out on his feet just before half time. Hopefully after 5 draws this will be a positive change of habit in the right direction. Very nice to walk back to car over the Northam Bridge with the warmth of a win and the Sun on your back on a Saturday afternoon.

I have to say from the Chapel Saga's looked a pen from behind despite the 9.5 fall to the ground, the second was on the side of the Chapel where I sit and I have to say I thought it was a crap offside decision that I was giving the lino grief for until someone said refs given a penalty. For the next five minutes what the lino had seen was the topic of conversation all around because no one spotted the hand ball.

I think once he has got his eye in he will become a bit of a fans favourite.

Bernie Winters and Schnorbitz the St Bernard

Awesome

We have had the shirts with the Poppies on around Remembrance Sunday, I was thinking something a bit more independent from annual national concentrated campaign. Being a predominantly male attendance something like Testicular Cancer, would be an obvious choice, especially as it is such a big killer with the media almost treating it as a "oh by the way" story.

Best keep my camera phone at the ready just in case my Wife, Father, Father in Law, and Boss decide to have a "funny" turn.

Perhaps we should have a bucket Leukaemia Research collection before the Home Stockport County game. Or maybe at least one game a season a Charity matchday with collections, special players shirts, matchday, and matchball sponsors being a Charity of this type, Barcelona and Aston Villa both do it all season; and we are a much bigger team than they are. :-)

Are you sure you weren't trying out the iPhone have you got a Pimple on your Botty App? I know a few folks who now avoid the need for medication because they changed the way they eat.

Whats that a new Bulgarian Manufacturer with a ranges of Rubber Nasty's, Gin Palaces, or Sailing Yachts?

How many James Bond themes has Shirley Bassey sung. What was the real name of Captain Scarlet Which TV Show started with the statement " Anything can happen in the next half hour". What was the sequel to 2001 What was the name of the Bovine character in the Magic Roundabout

Its a shame all 601 people who have looked at this thread did not make a comment, making it a worthy contender for the Golden posts section

A tough game against a team who are riding on the crest of a wave, we have the millstone of -10 to add to our approach which must be playing on the players minds fearing a loss is not forward movement. That was probably the hardest point we have won listening to the commentary. I have a feeling inside that we are going to meander to the zero points mark before we get a win........................... Its the kind of thing Saints would do.

Well said that man (I presume). We have a clean slate now: No Gasometer up or down, no tide in or out, no walking through the underpass or over the lights, no lucky socks (or pants) nonsense. New dawn new superstitions and omens............................ Just someone get that White Witch back for a top up of what she did before. Hopefully he has rubbed a few of them up the wrong way already add that to the disruption to pre-season all going out of the window and we might get a sniff.

blimey he must be good as in the space of a day 404 people have had there t'uppence h'apenny on him. Hopefully his style is more suited to English footie than Italian snorefest

Blimey you learn something new everyday. I bought a Cd of the Genesis concert I attended at Old Trafford a couple of years ago, the CD was "pressed" and distributed by The Music .com in the states everything was in Dollars. There was an Anoraks boxed set of the whole tour US and Europe for lots of money but nowhere did it mention Import tax.

Lost in a Good Book ~ Number 2 in the Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde, you get lost in the recesses of your mind reading Jaspers work; all a bit in the genre of Terry Pratchet. Also recently investigated the 1st of the Flashman series which was quite entertaining. Prior to that Three Men and a Float: 3 blokes and a Milk float travelling from Lowestoft ( the most easterly) to Lands End (the most westerly) amazing how generous people were along their route, a some "well I never know that about there" moment.

My hair looks like a yard broom unless I stick some product on it to calm it down; this week I am currently using Fructis Hard Gel, in a little green dumpy round pot, recently on a BOGOF at my local Tesco shopping emporium. HTH

Quiet afternoon at work then!? ;-) That reminds me of the fine days when you could buy a copy of the Beautiful South when it was in its independent mode, or the Ugly before it got weighed down in politics.

Harold Redcrapp, It would break his heart not being able to wheeler deal players into his team.

Until we put our name to it!!

I don't miss being billed as cannon fodder for the top 4 week in week out, especially from TV pundits who were suprised when we did smear the "big boys" noses across their faces. Apart from that not a lot, I am looking forward to when we get our backsides in gear and we getting back to the Premiership from where we are now that will be a wizard wheeze, the last promotion season was great fun especially when we put the hammer down after Christmas.

Some of us remember the Labour Government before she came to power. Makes you laugh really, yes she like all Prime Ministers in the job too long let it all go to her head in the end, but when she took over this country was going down the pan at a rate of knots. Unions ran the country striking for the merest reasons, rubbish piling up in the streets amongst other things, we were a leper colony to other countries, she had the balls most politicians lack in doing the nasty things to get this country going again. Most people in the south had very little to moan about in the mid to late eighties. Anyone living in an around Southampton today who's livelyhood relies on the business that the docks brings in would be doing something else if she had not taken on the unions, Southampton Docks had a union led policy, going back years, of replacing whoever left with another person despite the technology being in place to make the docks more efficient. The docks were people inefficient and losing money because they were too expensive, the result of breaking the stranglehold of the unions all those years ago means that Southampton still has a successful shipping port. (I will point out that I had an Uncle who worked in the docks for years, the amount of times we were round his house with my Auntie in the 70's when I was little and he would come home in the middle of the day, take off his boots and Donkey jacket walk into the kitchen and say "we are bloody out again" were countless). I am not defending Maggie like she was a god, I had negative equity, I had mortgage payments on a small mortgage that made you sweat, both my wife and I were made redundant as a result of the economy under her tenure. But she did make the S hitty decisions that none of the clowns today would make. When it comes to political digs slagging Thatcher is a bit lame in 2009, and a bit old hat: a lot of water has passed under the bridge since then.

The road from Ashbourne to Buxton is now frustrating, that is a great road with no bugger on most of the time, once past Tissington you can see for miles down it most of the time, what stuns me is when you turn off it to some of the smaller villages you are going onto roads 1/3 narrower but the limit is raised to 60mph. Stunning!!

I know absolutely 100's but then as I drive 45000 miles a year I would, a blanket 50 National speed limit would be a pain in the backside. The joke is that the majority of accidents happen on roads where the limit is 30mph, the safest roads in the country are Motorways where the limit is 70mph. I am sick and tired of a useless government insisting on treating me like a child.
