The away end is in fine voice! -
For starters, is there any way we can inform the club of this auction/check if it's on their radar?
-
Ok. We need to do something to make sure that item is associated with the club, not a random collector... Any ideas?

That is what is technically known as a 'rogering.'

He did in appearances for West Brom and Birmingham since he played for us. No doubt he did for Sunderland too.

It doesn't matter which party they are from, any career politician really shouldn't be in a position of power.

Just listening to a bit of this. This guy is head of the 'Labour' party, right?

No, it was in fact Crossley who scored that goal. The memories of seeing that go in from the away end at Hillsborough will stay with me forever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dut-uGCO-8

What's more important ? The furture of SFC or its past ?
Colinjb replied to alpine_saint's topic in The Saints
The past gives you identity and foundation. The present sustains that past and is your reason to remain in existance. The future allows you to build on and aim to surpass what you are. The past should be respected but must not be your main focus. We must be building always to be as strong as we can possibly be right now with the view to a strong future, as such there is no absolute right or wrong in this argument.... but there is the risk of one side of the balance becoming too overbearing. My personal view has always been that we must be building to the future and be making all efforts to ensure that we are as strong as possible right now in order to allow it. This argument between Cortese and Le Tissier/McMenemy/Benali etc is a threat to our stability as it seems to be a war between the past wanting recognition/concession and the present needing to be resolute to avoid any potential ongoing abuse from parties which may not be as 'benign' in their motives as Le Tissier (for example). It needs to be sorted out, neither side must be 'removed' as they are all part of 'us.' Personally, I will always be more inclined to favour the building work towards the future at the expense of the glorification of the past. The prospect of us being back in the premiership or future cup runs, these possibilities fascinate me... and knowing we can be as strong as possible for these future campaigns excites me more then the nontheless still wonderful memories and glories we have from the past. It is only a sense of cautiousness from seeing how similar clubs have been consumed by these dreams (the Skates are the most ready example) that leads me to want the club to remain a little bound and grounded by past association. All sides to the argument have merit though, just personality and instinct provide the differential in the fanbase, it's a bloody nightmare. -
Jesus, that would have been perfect! So close to the railway station.

And i've just learnt the hard way the draw back of using a rich fuel mixture all race. 11th to 19th in 4 painful corners at Shanghai!

Got my copy today (Xbox 360), had about an hour with it starting a career mode in a HRT, Hard difficulty with traction control and auto gearshifting on. First thoughts: 1) The game is beautiful, no frame-rate issues so far and the rain effects are amazing. 2) The handling is so much more forgiving now, no more seemingly 'random' spins, you can correct and rescue depending on the severity of your error. It really helps the games enjoyability.... it no longer feels like a lottery. 3) I fear the difficulty level may be a slight bit inconsistent. Around Australia in a the HRT I struggled to qualify off the back row in the wet and struggled into last place. In wet conditions in Malaysia, also in wet conditions I qualified 16th and finished 8th. It may have been just me 'getting used' to the game, but it felt quite a noticable jump in 'ease.' 4) The interviews are still needless. 5) The career mode appears to still use the flawed reputation system. I am hoping that as I go on it'll become clear that you do not get the same reputation for scoring a point in a HRT as in a Red Bull. 6) The creepy agent has gone, get in! So far, really enjoying the game... Can't wait to waste several more hour on it.

You idiot. When you get knocked unconscious it's not uncommon for your newly relaxed tongue to block the airways if you are laying on your back. This is swallowing your tongue, as the instinct to try and breathe keeps it there, it's a very common source of complications in sporting injuries, one of the first things a first aider will do is check that the airways are clear for exactly this reason.

Better said then I could manage, superb post.

A mixture of F1 2011, FM 2012 and Forza Motorsport 4 will keep me out of natural sunlight.

Rupert was a fool, but when he said 'Lunatic Fringe' jesus, he wasn't kidding. Either that, or well worked young troll-ling.

Have you been on a course of antibiotics recently? Specifically anything penicillin based?

One off game in 18 months.......

Even in the two games we havn't won, we have made enough chances to win. That in itself is a good sign.
