Its unwatchable now ! If all of you lot were to log off, I could tell you what was happening, maybe ??

Oops, I've wet my pants already :)

I have just done a wee wee in my pants

I worked in retail for many years and have had experience in most European countries (admittedly not food!) and have been privvy to many surveys, reports, reviews and statistics ! I can tell you that the UK has the highest customer loyalty per single retail outlet rating of any country bar none ie. "I shop at John Lewis and Waitrose but would never set foot in Lidl" ! Compared to Germany where you regularly find people who buy suits at Hugo Boss and champagne at Aldi without batting an eyelid ! The bottom line is that we Brits are the most class conscious shoppers in Europe ! I do detect that things are slowly changing here though, that more people are becoming open minded and selective in their shopping habits and personally I welcome that !

Can't see the point of expansion at the moment as they were bound to get a full house in the first match anyway (Oxford have sold out the away end too!) owing to the 'feelgood factor' etc.. Sensible business people would surely let things settle and take a mean average after say, 3 to 6 months, rather than have a kneejerk reaction to what is (probably) an exceptional set of circumstances ! I really will wet my pants if they lose their first 3 or 4 matches

Difficult to generalise when you meet people once for only a short time, I met ken Bates once and actually thought that he was a nice guy ! Bet that comes as a shock to most !!

Interesting that we are playing Barnard, Martin, Tadanari, Sharp and De Ridder in the development team this week ! For players seemingly on the way out, they must be costing a fair whack, probably even more than the ones you have mentioned ! Swings and roundabouts really, but perhaps it is the biggest reason why clubs leave new signings as late as possible before the start of the season ?

I consider FIFA to be rotten to the core and (for me!) the Qatar decision confirms this, sure new regions around the globe deserve a chance but can someone please tell me why the Australian bid was less appealing than a tiny country with 50 degree temperatures in summer ?? Regarding the Japan/Uruguay friendly though, why is FIFA being blamed for this ? Did they insist that it was played or (more likely IMO) did they just give the go-ahead at the request of the two countries ? Surely if Poch has an issue it should be with the two national associations and not FIFA in this case ??

No surprise for me, face to face you will normally find common ground, body language plays a huge part in conversation as opposed to web forums where context is easily lost and opinions become quickly entrenched making confrontation almost inevitable ! Personally I think that Alps has conducted himself well during this period (with Saints on his doorstep!) and good on him for that !

Perhaps she would be better on Union St

This thread has exposed a few myths already : 1) Alpine_saint is a real human being ! 2) He is able to smile and clap ! 3) He has actually seen saints play live ! :)

I am becoming very worried over this issue, not particularly about the blatant vote catching political message but the fact that "I AGREE WITH ALPINE_SAINT" !

The highlighted sentence sums it all up in a nutshell !! (Ps. a mate of mine went to Lidl to buy some fresh fruit and came out with a rubber dinghy )

It was a bit like that I guess, but it also sounded like the moronic pikeys from down the road, noisy, empty headed Turkish impersonators of the Skate barstewards ! Grrr....

Loving the half time music

Also discounts for over 60's whereas we are over 65's ! Big difference - 5 years !

Class Bearsy (just one little MLG type correction though - it's 'could have' not 'could of ', otherwise splendiferous !)

Originally from Scotland but my wife is from Southampton so I got married there and started going to the Dell with her dad in 1971 ! Have lived in Belgium and Germany but now on the IoW so I have a ST and go to most of the home games !

A bit repetitive but the close harmony is a joy to the ear !

Don't be daft, real life is different from a web forum and meeting fellow Saints and kindred spirits will be uplifting ! We have also had some verbal spats on here but I would happily meet up and have a beer if I was going !

Cardiff v Swansea could be interesting !

This website is fairly typical of it's ilk, I have friends who frequent QPR, Reading, Man U sites and they have similar views as I have on this one ! It's normal to have Wums, Trolls, Stattos etc, so nobody should get the hump, if you don't like it don't visit the site ! Personally I prefer here to the UI but respect that if you want a Saints forum you takes your pick and gets on with it !!

Seems that the clock is not on time !

I am pleased to read some balanced comments in the last few posts compared to the original scaremongering ! I visit Cape Town every year and travel around quite a bit as well, whilst taking only reasonable and sensible precautions, I have never really felt threatened and consider it to be a pleasure to be there ! The 'Mandela Effect' has been largely discounted as the world knows he is on his last legs and the political fallout in the aftermath is likely to be minimal ! Personally I see no parallels with Zimbabwe and feel pretty optimistic about the future of SA !
