I wouldn't be surprised if Under Armour actually own production, using the myriad of cheap labour factories around the world that they all use, they probably have a specific factory they like that churns out the right standard of product that maximises their margin. Trouble is any other clothing manufacturer with a good buying department will have found the same factory Nike and Adidas volumes might well see them getting the whip hand in production machine time........UA getting Gazumped on sewing machine time. Last season Goal Keeping shirts were available at the beginning of August by September sold out never to be seen again. Shop said they had no idea if they were going to come in again - they said not to hold out much hope though. I like UA Golf Shirts but it seems that churning out 10,000+ footie shirts is a bit of a squeeze for them...............................Of course Trump v China could be chucking a spanner in the works.

Guido Carrillo - Official: Free Transfer to Elche
John Boy Saint replied to Mr X's topic in The Saints
Who was that winkle we had from Spurs on loan, touted as the Cats Pyjamas (like em all) played one half looking like a fish up a tree never to be seen again! Might have been part of the luggage that came with Tommy Fourpast! While the goalie was a milestone at least we hadn't coughed up readies on this other Johnny. -
VAR has just turned the Womens World cup into a bit of a farce, French missed a penalty (Var awarded) then blew the whistle again awarded a retake of the penalty because VAR had spotted that the goal keeper had stepped off her line before the ball had been kicked by milliseconds........and she also got booked for stepping off her line by a centimetre. We are going to see some funny stuff with this VAR if the rules are applied as they have been in this game where the goalie only just left her line, we could be seeing a few goalies sent off if they commit that crime in a game. you will need a good second goalie because if the shenanigans of flicking the ball at a defenders arm to gain a penalty we are going to see a few more this season and no doubt a few keepers totting up yellows as a result and incurring the 5-10-15 card bans.

Even when you are as rich as Man U - not being in the Champions League puts a dent in your finances, Brother in Law is a Chelsea ST holder, when they failed to make the Champions League last season he said if they failed again this past season and lost Hazard it could be the start of a nasty spiral. Europa League doesnt bring in enough to pay a bloke £450k a week (after tax) to sit on his backside getting splinters in his bottom.

Weird, its hard to get excited as we have bought some bigged up but ultimately disappointing players recently, just hope with still being a nipper he will adapt quickly to the league, Ralph can get him integrated quickly. Certainly looks a Hasenhuttl paced player. Think that is something we have all been crying out for in the team is pace. Another French speaker too hopefully he will be more aligned to Valery than Lemina - although the latter might get miffed with the Fashion competition.

Especially when you have been toiling away at something and a beer will be an unwise decision. -
We got a new washing machine recently that will allegedly save the planet with its efficiency , amazingly for a bloke I had a skim through the book of words that came with it and saw a shirt wash setting. Having been away for just over a week with work I filled it up, spun the dial, and pressed play................nearly FOUR hours!!!!! Until the wash was set to finish????!!!!!! Still the pretty lights and tinkly tune as it set off on its marathon cheered me up.

Car Park Ticket machines that make you type in your Reg number but have an ABC “keyboard” rather than a Qwerty one, but despite knowing your abc’s for the last 50years has you standing there looking a little dense because H isn’t on the middle line and M isn’t on the bottom!!

I know it’s not Saints connected for this page, but jeez what a shock to hear he passed away after a Heart attack!! 49 is no age at all. He had done a splendid job getting Leyton Orient back into the Football League where they belong as a good old traditional team. Thoughts obviously with his family

- A Bottle of Wine, Red especially, picked up on my travels for not silly money that makes me go "oh thats a bit nice" even better when sharing with friends and they say "wow where DID you get this?!". - Fillet Steak that cuts like butter. - Walking down the hill into LLafranc at the beginning of our holiday and seeing the beach and the sea. - Just another 5 minutes in bed turning into an hour at least on a Saturday Morning. - just cleaned windows on the house - Free wood for the Woodburners, when a friend says "having that big Birch felled, would you like the wood as its saving me a quite few quid them not taking it away". - Chicken and Chips from Carn Padres just outside Pals on the Costa Brava, trust me you will struggle to find better...........so bloody good that the old boy who owns it only has to open the place June until the end of September. -
Was that the one Mrs JBS mentioned tonight, with the bit about all the Ladies who worked in the munitions factories and the like during the war started playing Football as works teams and got pretty damn good at it, drawing in huge crowds. Then after the war he FA had a meeting and after just 15 minutes decided to ban any male coaches from working with Womens teams and Womens football slowly dwindled away? If its of no interest there are a gazillion other channels to watch and Love Island. I would say to anyone sat on the fence about Womens football if the USA are on song watching them is worth the effort, if the Final is USA v Canada might be an idea to cancel washing your hair.

He was very quiet but then so was Sterling neither were getting much service from midfield................also Walker behind him was having a stinker too.
-
He's a terrible player in this league, you need speed of thought and speed of feet. You have no time to have a brain cell committee meeting between your ears to decide what you are going to do next otherwise you will be having to appoint another committee to get you back to where you were for the original committee to decide on the original course of action you were undecided about......................... and sadly that reads exactly the way it appears to play out within his grey matter when he has been on the pitch for us.

Think Rice quickly realised that he was suddenly playing with a fire extinguisher in his hand following Delph about.

When I was a nipper, My Dad had a Daisy Red Rider BB gun, fired little copper ball bearings ( I always got found out for sneaking it out every bloody Autumn because Dad would be the one to eat the Apple off the tree with the BB in it) I digress. It had a reload action like the rifles in the Cowboy films. Come the spring Dad would have spent Saturday getting the Veg patch ready digging it over, Cats like that, Sunday morning he would be up in the bedroom window waiting like a sniper, knowing next doors moggie would be popping over the fence for its morning constitutional in his veg patch. Sure enough over the fence it came, picked it’s spot in the freshly dug soil, just as it settled to set about the Lords work, Dad had sighted it up and squeezed the trigger, it made a funny pofff sound, bingo direct hit on the backside, the cat was instantly at least 4ft in the air, and just like John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn, reload, pofff with the cat still airborne another BB stings it’s backside, ever seem a cat trying jump up while still airborne bloody funny. Cat eventually touched down and was back over the fence like a rocket not to be seen in our garden for months, so when the Chilli fails you know what to try next. Before anyone gets upset these BBs hardly had any puff, a mate got shot in the foot with it at 10ft and he hopped round the garden for a couple of minutes laughing and crying at the same time, cat was at least 30ft away and probably more startled, as any of us would be, at being tapped on the back just as it was about to curl one out!

Pull the pin out of the grenade and drop it down the front of your underpants TWICE - Jeez!

How about “If you can read this sticker - I’ve lost my Caravan!!” ?

Oooo maybe he’s going to chase that Mr Gao out of Saints with a big fat cheque, and line himself up something to do after his second term. Plus take over Southampton Municiple Golf Course and Trump it.
-
Everyone knows fire is dangerous and treats it accordingly, plus a fag doesn’t answer you back or say anything to wind you up. Might be killing you slowly, but when your Mate WhatsApps you with a funny video of girlies with big boobies you are more likely to be unable to wait to take a quick peek, and terminally vanish up the backside of that Wagon that has suddenly stopped in front of you. Most folks have been managing to find their mouths with their hands since before they were born.

So over the course of this tete a tete we have established that you are a middle lane hogger, and believe that it’s your god given right to sit there in you little metal encased world. Whilst I am fully aware that on the odd occasion that I could lapse into being a “speeding tosser” I am fully aware of the concequences should an officer of the law wish to discuss my momentary lapse. However in the statement you made that I highlighted you are obviously unaware that middle lane hogging is a motoring offence with the penalty of £100 on the spot fine and 3 points on your licence!! Hey I guess that probably makes you a tosser too!

That is complete horse poo!! Drive on the German Autobhan my friend, lane discipline is nye on faultless over take and get over into the inside lane and there you have people coming at you from behind at 120mph plus. And you have wagons trundling along at 55mph, they seem to cope. The one thing you don’t get is ditherers ambling along at 60-65 in a middle lane fixed stare stupor. Like I say the amount of miles I drive, not aggressively, not at 90mph, and I have moved in a civilised manner from the inside lane to the outside lane to overtake these people and have more than enough distance to the next vehicle to move back into the inside lane again, I have seen 3-4 cars make the same move in convoy either in front or behind me and that car still sits in the middle lane like a chicane. Something tells me that you are one of these people who enjoys life in the middle lane even on an empty motorway and is part of the problem. Actually you will be amazed at how few people travel at 90 on a motorway those mostly “.being naughty” are travelling at tops 80mph. If you feel intimidated by that on a 3 lane motorway and feel that being in a middle lane bubble is the safest place for you then you should reconsider the using of the motorways as a last resort.
-
I would never deny that, but being sat in the outside lane of an empty motorway just because you are doing 70mph is not the lane to be driving in if you believe you are being a law abiding citizen tip top driver by adhering to the speed limit alone. I drive 35k+ miles a year, its bloody amazing how when you stick a police car on the motorway (I slow down ) everybody all of a sudden re-discovers lane discipline and is getting left!!!?????!!!! Even those numpties who sit at 60mph in the middle lane for mile after mile on a pretty empty motorway, if people adhered to lane discipline motorways and dual carriageways would flow so much better.

Modern Tills working out the change for the Shop assistant, which results in them placing the shiny plastic £5 0r £10 note on your palm first then £4.97 of loose change on top of the note which has zero surface resistance. ("sorry we have run out of £1 coins so theres 8 50p's") Who actually keeps notes and coins screwed up together in the same pocket or purse. Drivers who think that because they are doing 69.5mph in the outside lane of the motorway "you can stay behind me matey" because I am doing the national maximum speed, yes but the same little book that you got that nugget from also states that you should always be in the left hand lane unless overtaking. Those 2 inside lanes have been empty for the last 2 miles and that lorry you intend to overtake in a minute is still 2 miles down the road. 4 bloody cars going through Woodmill Lane, when the last 18 cars through have clearly been in blocks of 3!!!
