  1. AOX maybe an important part of the footballing jigsaw of the right player at the right age to create the core of a team which will be together for a number of seasons. Players that have been together are more in tune with each other which is the philosophy and an important part of creating a team at Saints. There is no reason to sell, we are building a team, a winning team.
  2. I wonder when the flash forward will happen?

    Alcatraz

    ditto, love SF, many great cultural places there (Exploratorium, Gold Gate Park, China town, the palace art musuem, cartoon museum, H&A, Coit tower etc) as well as the chavy pier 39section. spoilt for good food (Aqua, Canteen, Eos etc)
  4. He can still be sold iirc, if he hasn't played for Yeovil yet then he'll be free to play for the buying club.
  5. Apparently it was the Daniel Azougy who brokered that deal.
  6. The biggest contribution comes from poor observational skills where the young drivers are less likely to see danger until it is to late, in many cases compounded by driving too fast for the road conditions (not just weather) and distractions (mates/radio/phone etc). There have been a few studies at the University of Reading about this and one argument is to make sure youngsters have enough hours under their belt before a full licence is given and also do an observational test in a simulator.
  7. Hodgson's away record is appalling, IIRC, he only one once with Fulham last season and is it only one with Liverpool this season?
  8. I've known a few here where the lowest quote they were given didn't make a difference whether they had the PP or not. Just remember that quotes will vary considerably and it seems searching many companies is a better bet than going for one that would give a discount on a premium.
  9. From what I've heard the Pass Plus does not give a benefit, only the Advance Test will do that. Need to shop around as Insurance Companies will want to spread their risk as no company will focus on providing good deals for the youngsters (the worst group to insure). Otherwise, don't get them a car if the cost is too much. I got my first car (ten year old fiesta) at 22 when I finished uni and got a job, I was certainly fitter having to ride my bike most places!
  10. I'd be worried if I was a Charlon fan... Charlton Athletic's new owners are decisive: they sacked the manager Phil Parkinson yesterday within 24 hours of taking control. What else do we know about them? Well, Charlton's website yesterday described Tony Jimenez and Michael Slater respectively as "an international property developer" and "a lawyer and businessman". The pair hold their interest in Charlton through CAFC Holdings Limited, "a company managed and controlled in Switzerland", though its registration is held in the offshore tax haven of the British Virgin Islands. Charlton's chairman, Slater, as the club's website explains, began work as a solicitor. Indeed, a Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal in August 2007, although clearing him of the primary allegations, found "the way in which [slater] conducted himself could well be detrimental to the good reputation of the solicitors' profession as a whole". A spokesman for Slater said yesterday: "Allegations were made and these were 100% rejected by the SDT." As for Jimenez, the former vice‑president (player recruitment) at Newcastle United, Digger hopes his international property development interests have more life to them than those UK businesses on whose board he has served. Of the 17 UK companies where has been a director, 16 have been dissolved. The 17th is also set to be, either this month or next. "Tony has been a successful businessman in international property over the last 20 years," the spokesman added.
  11. or there could be bids from championship clubs (and not newcastle as he'll be 26 this month)?
  12. Dune does.
  13. ...except the daggers!!!
  14. I think the one on the right has let the team down only having one belly roll.
  15. With all this talk of LL signing for them, does anyone know what players are in their last year of their contract? I remember Utaka being one of many, it seems next season could be a challenge on the recruitment front unless they do make the promised land.
  16. Up to third with Charlton drawing 2 a piece against Colchester.
  17. 93... 24 Carat Gold
  18. Saints have played more home games than anyone else so conversely less away games, and it's the away form which is the worrying aspect which needs fixing quickly- played 8, won three and lost 4 with one draw.
  19. It was when I looked at the schedule yesterday, but I've checked again now and it's been replaced by Hard Rain... grrrr!
  20. I think it was one step at a time. We are now 5th in touching distance of the top spot with half the season left. When he arrived, we were 22nd so maybe not the best time to make such a bold statement.
  21. They are both on tomorrow.
  22. That's only potential and may not be anywhere near that. Still not as good a fee as we got for Richards from them.
  23. len, bruno, craig and alisha (I feel a bit grubby now).
  24. 69... 3 little pigs ? 92... fahrenheit 451, n? by ray bradbury
  25. 73... greenwich meridian, 0 degrees longitude
