Well, having seen him in the De Vere as alluded to above, he was with us far too long and Leon's deal was possibly the only good thing to come from his time with the train set. He's now long gone, perhaps a month or two looking in a mirror and counting his pension would have been wiser than trying to stay in football. Not easy for anyone or their family. As a human being I hope he takes this and steps back and learns. As a Saints fan thank God he's history

But they are Brummies. Maybe that's not such a bad idea?

I can now watch Saints play EVERY game live in full and with good friends. These first few matches have seen the return of something that had gone missing - our gallows humour (still missing to an extent on here) We were amongst the most ARROGANT fans in the country when we first went down to the CCC. Those years have taught us the real meaning of football again and by almost losing our club we have a much better concept of the value and a closeness to it. These first 4 games have been strange, other fans have said "Wow" at our football and have NOT offered us MOCK sympathy as in previous years. This time something could be different. The reactions so far are all valid, we have learnt a winning mentality - it is very hard to adjust that to losing every week,so of course it is not "as much fun". The issue really comes down to your view of this season. You think it will stay linke this (and it could) then the "it was more fun in L1" POV is very valid. BUT if you believe we do have a good side and can stay up then you will know that this is the start of a new ride/ a new journey and it is going to have some cracking moments. For me. The team realised what the PL means last week. The fans against Wigan showed they had not. EVERYONE needs to up their game. Give it a couple of weeks then ask the question. Right now it's a stupid question so gets the answer - I'd rather we were playing in the UAE Premier League every week, not the EPL so my live games were real and not in the pub. It's as valid an answer as Kraken's is

That is totally awesome. Although not sure which is more sad? The person who took the time to create it or the person who took the time to find it. Or the person who took the time to reply & steal it for FB I feel a ring tone coming on.

FMDP's Bro is staying over on his Honeymoon so taking him & "The Bride" to our home pub with the Dubai Massive for their first game. Sod Adkins & Cortese or our points total, we need a win and good performance to ensure that our quest for Global Domination continues. Get a win & Sibley will have to be tweeting in Polish within the year alongside his new Japanese feed

Did someone mention Golf? -
Answered your own question in reality. Like everything else to do with pcfc this makes it crystal clear.

Shhhhhh, you promised not to tell anyone! Anyway she's in The Northam this weekend -
Yeah, not enough pre-amble to it. Should have more about the whole being Dominated thing NA having his hands tied Our CB's were tortured by their attacks
-
OK Cortese, this is taking things a bit far. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH OUR BEARSY?
-
So 5 bids in Deadline day looms. Portco already complaining that TB is telling them they are too late, yet the Trust need more time. Only 8 pages to go to reach 1500. And to think we held a party when this thread got to page 150. Will Trousers be able to keep up or will he get RSI from trying to cut & paste all day? Will OldNick finally be proved right? Will Rallyboy post something that is NOT perfection for the moment? Will the mighty Truckasaurus find a laptop and make a welcome return? Or will TB tell Chinny to get lost? Plenty to keep us all on F5 throughout the day as we build up to what COULD finally, after all these years of TSW & it's predecessors REALLY ACTUALLY be a Takeover Friday?
-
In the how did I miss that stakes... (no not an old cult movie for Bearsy tho) Had nothing on the main telly channels last night and Russia House came up on Star Movies from 1990. What a well put together film that was. Cracking cast, well acted and beautifully shot on location in Lisbon, Moscow and "Leningrad" No idea how I missed that on planes or DVD for 12 years.

att Slater @mattslaterbbc ...admins still saying it's between PST & Portpin, PST want more time, FL watching closely, Miland could become a factor again
-
Stone me, wait over 3 years for a bid and get 5 in a couple of days.
-
Matt Slater @mattslaterbbc A 5th formal bid goes in for #Pompey after Portpin, PST, SAF & Bassani, it's from 'Portco', UK group fronted Scottish investor...
-
It is now Oh and just so you all know, have been back a few days and so have trawled the local press for coverage on SAF. Here it is:- Was that in depth enough for y'all?
-
Apologies but that really needed spell checking so have changed it for you
-
Apart from that bloke down at Gillingham of course
-
I'm kinda getting the vibe that Steve is actually one of us as well...... C'mon gang own up

It's a fair point. At Citeh Guly at least had more "threat from his movement" than Rickie would have for CB's. However it did not take them long to realise that they just had to let him have the ball . Personally in the first 15 mins at Citeh I think if we had had Lambert on the pitch we would have scored, we had a lot of play in their 3rd. Against any team, Lambert will struggle IF our midfield lose confidence and sit too deep. But then TBF just about ANY current PL striker would have the same issue, they cannot do anything without a football and even the paciest strikers struggle to win every 40 yard hoof and beat an entire defence on their own. It might happen for them a few times in a season but as a match day tactic...???? Still believe it was the depth that our MF sat in, not their shape and I put that down to being very young, very inexperienced and not having a wise old head in there. Perhaps AWAY from home instead of 1-2-3-4 more of a 1-1-3-1-4. I also think that NA & his team will have been working on that depth/confidence issue all week in training and still see us playing some teams off the park this year. The ONE thing we do have in our team now are players with brains who will learn, the issue is how quickly that happens. Or of course, perhaps we just missed Guly........

Nah not many, probably just a couple of years worth

Strange, I always thought Red Herring was a diversion intended to make people think you were doing one thing while you did something else..... Leak Saints looking at Gordon while chasing a proper keeper.......... (And on current style that means we should be looking at what 22/24 year old future Internationals are available on out of contract deals in Japan or South America or Africa or something)
