  4. Hello, 'ello, Wookie aggro,wookie aggro.......
  5. Even if it WAS true, I am happy enough to bet anyone a Case of Old Speckled Hen that NC has at LEAST one person on his Speed Dial who would buy the club in an instant. Just I think we'd all (well 96% or so) prefer to continue "The Journey" & The Memory of Markus together
  6. Good post Frank. I sit in the middle ground here. Having been out of the UK so long, all of the Great Escapes passed me by in a blur of a few snippets every so often, I did not live it day to day like you all did. The point is that when we were at the Dell we could only dream of corwds of more than 12,000 (hell we could only dream of getting a ticket most of the time). Since 1976 we were used to that dream being thwarted and pessimism became ingrained. Whatever the politics of the Reverse Takeover, suddenly there was an inkling that maybe, just possibly, something could happen. And, actually, it DID. There was a dream, there was a Vision and Bloody Hell there was SMS. The true Bed wetters probably never got over the cardboard box loss of soul etc, BUT for a Happy Clapper, somebody had a dream and wow we actually got there. Now add in the Dream of our wn players from an Academy, yeah right we will never produce/keep talent blah blah blah. NOW the problem is, that although we glimpsed a dream, achieved a lot of it. we were in fact being sold a Dud by the Property equivalent of a Dodgy used Pompey Owner. Itw as all hot air and pieces of leverage and paper. Much like the whole of the UK in those years. So there we were, Bed Wetters AND Happy Clappers all proved right. All within a few years of each other (so in the life of Saints thats a microsecond!) So fast forward to today. -10 and in Admin, the Bed Wetters tended to be the ones who said someone would always have turned up to buy us, the Clappers tended to think we were going to play at Eastleigh. Then along came an Insane Dream. Really? A Philanthropist Billionaire? An insanely focused maniac who ONLY wants to achieve success for The Club? And well, it is not real, it HAS to go Pete Tong because it was beyond ANYONE's wildest dreams. Oh yeah double promotion is nothing, look at Norwich they say. I would counter that and say, yes but what are Norwich going to do NOW? The debate is now simple, we had Sustainable Survival under Rupert (as Norwich will try and do) and it only goes the Wigan/Wolves/Bolton way. Or we have a dream, the Swansea Way, The Southampton Way, even the WBA way. I think it is fantastic to have HOPE for a change. I think it is FANTASTIC to have other football fans starting to RESPECT us for our FOOTBALL not our idiot Chairman's Klingon comments. I fully expect it to go Pete Tong again. BUT. This is one hell of a Ride, I'm Bloody LOVING it and anyone who isn't on the Bus looking out the window with a huge Grin is gonna be one miserable MoFo that they missed out on all the fun. Of course we'll run out of Gas hit a brick wall. But Oh what sights we will have seen along the way, what memories (55,000 at the JPT) I'm happy to wave at the mugs as we go by
  7. And that Ladies and Gentlemen is the quality of debate that you get when you have Politics.
  8. Yep, totally fair assessment. Everyone agrees that I am in fact Incredible.
  9. OMG. You mean she's almost as barking as Eric?
  10. Did someone mention my drinking buddy Gordon? Well, whatever he did or did not do to whatever may or may not be in that video he has my full support and is right. He is a genius but not as much of a Babe magnet as yours truly (but only with the Sequinned Baseball Cap)
  11. Have they mended their clock yet? We got a nice new one..... Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC 2h PHOTO: Thanks to @EternaWatches, St Mary's has a new clock! #saintsfc pic.twitter.com/GvDjPLO8zO
  12. Like that Buttner fellow you mean?
  13. Well, I do recall a former (much maligned) Chairman buying a round of beers for the lads in Chicago Rock with the London Saints after our last game at The Dell. Then stood around looking forlorn because it seemed nobody wanted his autograph, just the beer:)
  14. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/news/10057460/Petrol-price-rigged-for-a-decade.html EU discovers price fixing. Similarities to Libor. Incredible to see (again) that such widespread price issues are decided by such small number of people. Whatever happened to MARKETS rather than interests. Is there ANYTHING now that the UK gets involved with Business or Entertainment wise that is NOT corrupt? A thousand threads on it's own Did you keep all your Petrol receipt copies for the last 10 years? Go find a lawyer! Ambukance chaser time!!! Discuss
  15. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2324585/Frickson-Erazo-wanted-Southampton.html Ah, another Ecuadorian.
  16. Not sure what is scarier. That someone MADE that and posted it. Or that someone FOUND it. Didn't know you spoke Spanish Eric.
  17. Doesn't look like any signs of stress or worry about instability on the faces of anyone in those pics. Or was that the Bubbly? As for NC you just know he is saying "You undermined my negotiating position with a Tweet? Yes, a Horses head will fit"
  18. No I mustn't call my Spud supporting Son in Law. That would be just cruel......... Oh alright then
  19. I think they should replace all ATC operators with Computers. Make all those lazy overpaid numpties redundant.
  20. Golfing Phil goes in order to shop at MBK and to buy his Fake Nike "Same colour as Tiger wears" golf Shirts for £2 instead of $100 over here. We all know the best bar in Soi Cowboy is Country Roads. Not in The Seaview League but still a great Heavy Metal Cover band. Nice trap laid there by Toke's and The Bear walked right into it. There's only one thing you don't find in Cowboy....
  21. Norm's a Deviant? Wow never worked that out from his postings on here. Interesting debate on this thread, and interesting that a number of newer posters are adding value and their (welcome if not agreed with) opinions on here. Almost like the Old Days. Perhaps should pop some nice bottles of Chardonnay in the Fridge for the rest of the week, just in case
  22. I swear that many of our fans listen to the saintsplayer stream and still imagine muddy pitches, laced footballs and long metal studs, or at least think games should be played as 4-4-2
  23. Ah... Well I'm sure he'll never be allowed entry into Long Gun.
  24. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.... Arrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhh..... You bstd. I'm flying on a Vietnam Airlines A321 next month. Just ruined my entire trip. Damn, now to find another overnight train... Or maybe buy a Motorbike and stick a big wooden sailing boat on the back of it
