He has conducted himself perfectly all the time he has been here. No hissy fits, and kept himself superfit when needed. Burnley match and today, superb reaction saves, and coming out early for last man interceptions. Highly respected in his role as Club Captain, surely deserves a Puncheonesque chant about willy waving anticcs ... "He'll be running round the changing room, with his willy hanging out, Kelvin, Kelvin." Total respect for the man.

Met up with Lighthouse in Dubai tonight ... although we have already met before ..... you'd thought he'd know better!!

Fair do's to Hull. They had no intention of parking the bus and had more chances than us 1st half. Hope they stay up rather than Blunderland or Harry Park Rangers.

Glad to see you've set higher standards than a squeaky bum finish for 17th spot

Is Paul Wotton still there .... be great if he scored and did a Wayne Bridge celebration to upset the home faithful!!

Ha Ha ... those were the days!! Seem to remember someone thought it actually happened 1st time round back in the day

No good for me ..... a late Ko would have been better, but the early KO puts any early go from work plans out of the window for me now. Lost count of how many games I've hd to iss watching due to Sky/BT changes this season

Goal Keeping has never really been one of his better positions to be honest

Only saw the 2nd half, but it seemed Welbeck was the only player interested in passing to him, no matter how often he was in space wide , the like s of Henderson and Delph only seemed interested in going into the middle or out left to Sterling.

Don't bother - I'm in The Northern Wastes of Leigh Lancashire, until next Wednesday ;-)

Living and working overseas, next game likely to be next season Aug/Sept if the league fixtures are kind to me a northern away game or 2 as well. Forever in debt to you for introducing me to Gales HSB ;-)

I make an appearance in the 77 pic (must have been skiving for the 76 pic!!) I'm stood next but one along from your Bro and KF!! As you say ... shocking photos!!

I don't think I'll be able to look at a Foam Hand, Jester Wig or Selfie Stick without thinking about Turkish / Paul Allen

Out of about 18 of us @dubaisaints (and holiday makers) at Barasti Beach Bar, for the QPR match, 7 or 8 of us had been to Barton Peveril covering a period of about 30 odd years, but none at the same time!! Some of us much longer ago than others!! I was amongst the 1st batch of 6th Formers to hit BP who didn't have to wear the green school uniforms. I think some of the staff and lower school students took some time getting used to long haired, flared jeans, afghan wearing outsiders mixing with them

Derby Road (Eastleigh) Primary School. Now called Cherbourg Road School I think. Alderman Quilley Secondary Modern Borstal (Eastleigh). Offered chance to upgrade from CSE to GCE's a few months before the exams and having covered less than half of the syllabus!! Over to Barton Peveril Sixth Form College to sit GCE's and A Levels. The Dole ... for 6 months!!

Old age showing .... but wasn''t b-anter and SaintsFun one and the same, or did it involve a change of servers? Both were the work of Essruu. Turkish, under another guise, posted a mock Lads Day out to Everton ? and the ensuing battles with Scouse OAPs etc, and some people thought it was real!! Was it on Sfun or the earliest S4E on Board54? that Boris under another aka used to post about his previous nights conquest of some ugly munter each weekend. Grims are grateful ahoy!! Does Master Bates S4E purveyor of softcore porn still post on here? Think he was only a wee lad but gave a good account of himself!! Happy Days

Be In Sports show EVERY SINGLE PREM match Live, but not all with English Commentary. They cover all The Middle East. The trick is finding a bar that shows matches that aren't featuring the usual suspects. If you are in Dubai head to The Barasti Bar, being regulars in there, we get the best screen every week, which confuses the hell out of all the glory boy plastics who end up having to watch their team on smaller screens / TV's

As much as I'd love to, I'll be having a lot of Happiness myself, on the slopes of Cervinia on the 20th (if I haven't broken anything in the previous 5 days skiing ) So I'll have to pass on the responsibility to someone else!!

Only if it includes the lowest position we can still qualify for Europe, if Villa get to the final and win, or lose against Man U, Arsenal or Liverpool

Thanks Sue, one of my mates was there last year and watched 5 Nations Rugby in The Dragon, so fingers crossed!! They even had London Pride, and is only 3 mins walk from our hotel!!

Well that went well didn't it? Don't think I'll bother starting an International Happiness Day Thread on March 20th I can see it now ... It's fine for you, but what about unhappy people, when is it their day? etc etc

Nothing wrong with equal rights surely?

Dont worry he'll pop up somewhere again, just after Easter

But I have .... March 14th

Made me smile anyway!! Thanks.
