  1. Nigel. I know you won't read this but I put this out there anyway. "We want to be the best that we can be" Hell yeah I know it came from a book or a course, but this one mantra from you kept ME going through all the months that I had doubts about whether what I was doing in my life was correct. You inspired me to keep going, I did and my project has become a massive success. No human being deserves to be treated this way. Someone did not bother to say thank you, that is so wrong. You will be not only the best that you can be, but you will be the best that England has to offer. God bless you and what you did for our club. Live long and prosper. And don't work for Europeans. (We both now that now)
  2. Lot of sense from WC CS & DPS. Still sad. . Timing is appalling. Record at Espanyol this season is appalling. We all rebelled at the treatment and sacking of Pardew. Dubai Saints will convene in the pub earlier than usual Monday night, we'll have an open forum and discuss our official reaction. Yeah, that's better.
  3. Some good news for Guy Whittingham. As he'll probably have a lot more spare time on his hands in the near future I'd like to point out that Nike have a sale of Nearly New Golf Clubs in the Abu Dhabi Clubhouse this evening
  4. I just wanted to drop by and say. It was freezing this morning - 9C FFS. I had to wear my thermals. Luckily it got up to a lovely sunny 21C by midday. Drive safely hope you and your loved ones get home safe
  5. I feel sad. Maybe I felt that the "together as one" would mean something. Maybe I thought we could be different from other clubs. Maybe I felt that having made the (not easy) decision NOT to sack NA when he could have we were about to see payback and something special could happen - Hell by accident through the fair play league we could have gone into Europe next season with him. Sadness that we felt that we had gained some Moral High Ground on our fish fiddling neighbours But now we're just a part of the pack. I'm sad because I honestly believe that success comes from learning from mistakes of the past. We don't need Dalek to tell us what went wrong in our relegation year. I'm not angry. I should have died on the motorway on the way home this evening - a blow out on a crowded outside lane at 130kph should have wiped me out. Somehow it didn't. Anger is not in me right now. I'm NOT angry, not yet. I'll give that a day or so. I am also NOT shocked - Christ it was mentioned in a thread yesterday and alluded to in another so something was clearly going on. So I am sad. This new guy has one hell of a weekend ahead of him because one thing is for sure, Nige isn't coming back and NC isn't leaving this weekend I'll leave being angry for when the leaks start. Then I think if things go wrong on Monday I'll join everyone else in becoming alpine
  6. What a very, VERY sad day in the history of this great club. I think we can all speculate and anaylse this but my overwhelming thoughts this evening are just sadness.
  7. Jeez - if only all this stuff was as simple as Golf. Dubai Saints Day out in Corporate today - gonna be a messi one
  8. Can I mention the golf again yet? Other than.... Sky Taters/Getty Snappers "Bloody Hell, what did your lot put in the half time cup of tea last night" "Christ I bet you didn't need 2 cups of coffee to get going this morning" And "How the hell are you kicking Liverpool's ass in the transfer market" To "Yes he (Lambert) really should get a call up by Hodgson this season"
  9. F*ck me. Just woke up (early start at Golf) And see THIS? Wow only time to scan the reactions, but we came back from 2-0 down to get a point AT the European Champions? Christ on a bike. What a way to start along day
  10. Why? you sitting in row Z?
  11. Shaw is rated amongst the top 10 hottest properties in world football. The 17 year old Taggert/Targett? is rated as being better than Shaw but less advanced in terms of gamebrain. Why bring in another player.... When we have Seabourne and Fox....... Clyne & Cork then
  12. Possibly one of our finest songs
  13. Well, a lot on the main board have been calling for more bite in midfield
  14. Yeah, and this was straight after the "I won't do it again" confessions. He did, and I made 1500 quid out of the pic from Getty Images. All the press crew missed it. As for today, he was with these two hotties from IMG Elephants and Spots. Anyways. Back on topic, Michael Hoey (Irish golfer) DOES know who Saints are as his Cousin is engaged to an ex Academy lad who is part of our massive and we had a good long chat about why SRL actually SHOULD be playing for England in the old Sheringham role. Off to bed time 4:30am start think more likely we will get confirmation of Messi signing than a point at Chelsea tonight. Keep warm tonight SMS stalkers will await your updates in the morning with keen interest and then go find a Norwegian golfer to get a Norway Saint style feedback... Oh that ain't gonna be easy is it
  15. IF only you had attended the TSW Forum match and paid Scudamore for one of the legendary Match Day programmes you would have seen the full photographic evidence as he signed the NDA for Mark Fry
  16. In the middle of a desert on his last trip down. The legend still managed to find a fiteh with a great grip and awesome backswing... I know you'll all be shocked to know he asked her to hold his club and give it a go.
  17. Funnily enough..... He has, and his manager Mark STILL laughs about it some 4 years on Older posters will recall their shock at seeing the Slash shirt walking round & talking to him a couple of years ago on Sky.... (It was a bet - I won)
  18. I like these two as a solid CM pairing Certainly ran rings around Galatasary's midfield
  19. No, Forren has a hair style. On the subject of which, just want to let you know Tiger says Hi to you all, he asked me to get Rallyboy's signature for him. Apparently he reads the PTS on his long haul flights. He said he was wearing Yellow today to lend his support to us tonight at Chelsea (he's hacked off they never invited him back apparently). He was gutted to find out we were in Red tonight, he asked if we could postpone the game until Sunday as he only wears red that day for some reason
  20. Sources in Abu Dhabi suggesting Well Head may be on the way
  21. So someone FINALLY replied to one of your tweets then
  22. Oh God no, then I'd need to provide a Forensic Audit trail, name my sources, receive weeks of abuse from people about why they would be detrimental to the club and we'd become a media circus, then there'd be arguments over whether this was a sign of our progress towards the CL next year or in 10 years, Then we'd have to extend Staplewood threads to accomodate the screaming teenagers, then there would be complaints about the teenagers stopping the Japanese from getting access. Lord no. But they are coming. Definitely, totally, a District Line driver heard them talking about it and told a taxi driver. He told an Airline Pilot or something like that
  23. Look on the bright side. Reduces the chance of getting BSE
  24. There is a damned fine Outlet Mall about 15mins from DFW airport I remember that from 2 years ago when I had a 6 hour stop over. Got myself 4 pairs of brand new Lee & Wrangler Jeans (new) for US$ 7 each in the back of one of the piled up high shops. You HAVE to treat yourself to a 24 ounce Porterhouse Steak while there. Takes about an hour to eat but yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
  25. Brooklyn & Romeo Beckham for the Academy
