Aargh. No not the hangover from the Stag weekend but the horror at discovering a downside to this new Saints Dubai Massive we have generated these last weeks. With so many fans down here now demand for flights back to the UK at the weekend has gone NUTS. BA now want 2,000 POUNDS for an ECONOMY ticket & everyone else is full up. FFS Looks like I may have to fly home via Azerbaijan Airways or some such horrors. (Oh & I blame Eric again for Saturday - told him the match thread needed cute chicks in Bavarian costumes not Nuns) What date is the Play Off final?

I leave you lot in charge for one afternoon and WTF?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/reading/9212637/Premier-League-investigate-Russian-takeover-of-Reading.html Ooh that all sounds VERY familiar TSI, rich kids Dad Rumamafia Lol FL may have grown some after all

Yeah, they're a not had many gigs Boy Band from California that are giving SC nightmares

IMHO Richardson has had a knock this season and maybe that is why Butterfield is now in the line up.

Now now, not everyone has a mate who washes the trucks at the RMC depot across the road

Think that may be setting their sights too high

Hmm or our last PL era shirt for Cov.....

Oh Christ. It seems TCWTB has been taking that whole Great Escape thing a bit too seriously

10) Your missus would be really proud of you if you tapped & ruined a really fit and famous chick. Which means, unfortunately, it would have to be a no, no doubt very pleasant young lady, but it ain't worth having one's bits cut off for

It's a disease that is spreading though - unfortunately. Down here for years we had our little weekend in the desert - Rugby 7's. It was a Marathon - two 10 hour days sitting in the sun sipping your beer and ending up with a looney stagger around to some long forgotten band (Bjorn Again, Suzie Quattro, Paul Young, Ian Dury & The Blockheads, The Commitments, Bad Manners to name but a few). It used to be enough to wear a stupid Tee Shirt - If Found, please return to the Heineken Tent, Official Suntan Lotion Applicator, Beer, the reason I get up in the afternoons. We even migrated to some seriously silly hats (wow what Babe magnets they were) Those pointy Bavarian Beer Hall things but in Pink with little piggy ears and a curly tail (for obvious non-PC reasons) the latest babe magnets were some Pink Sequinned Baseball caps (there are 10 or so of us). But oh no, that hasn't been good enough these past 2 or 3 years. Now it's all about Knights in Armour, Smurfs, Hell we even had 25 Elvis's in Gold Lame Arab Khadoura's FFS. This year. There were 40 Jimmy Savilles. I mean FFS we used to do it to take the p1ss, but these guys - they turn up late, pose for the photos, win a holiday in the Maldives from Emirates or something then bugger off. Christ, we even had NUNS this year. Is NOTHING sacred anymore (TSW Match threads I mean) Let them stay at the fecking cricket. No place for them at the big balls games

There is normally a simple answer. Booze. HTH

Ha That's already been promised to The Zucchini's Frontman - my Bro, with some for my mate who's sorting out an ST for us next year

Think it was the fact he could stop at Duty Free that clinched it. That and being quick off the mark!

Thanks.

Yeah tough to call whether it was because he wasn't sure about us or about his family circumstances. Point is that DOES show that he isn't the usual dumb **** stereotype footballer

Phew thank fook for that. OK so songs are OK for next season as well. Just let's not book any boat trips eh?

IMHO it is not just about the Coaching Staff. I think a BIG difference now is that the type of player who we are bringing in wants to IMPROVE, not simply Earn more money. It's a subtle difference but it is a state of mind. For this reason I would be VERY surprised to see us sign any "out and out PL stars" in the close season, the LAST thing the squad needs is some dork with a Bentley wandering round the training ground listening to his IPod all day long. This to me is what is so exciting - we have set up a process the support staff, the scouts looking for the right player MENTALLY as well as Ability wise and then the entire ethos of "We want to be the Best we can be." And CLEARLY Billy Sharp had that mind set and that is why he chose us

Sky. They have received a whole heap of abuse about that

Shhhhhhhhh

PCFC. The Space Shuttle of Football Clubs. Bloated, stupidly expensive, had a couple of moments, but now destined for the scrap heap with some trinkets left in Museums. At least the Shuttle went out with some class though http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/picture-galleries/9209761/Space-Shuttle-Discoverys-final-voyage-from-Florida-to-Washington.html?frame=2195942

Meanwhile. Can I just send out a big YOU B@STARDS to whoever it was caused Saints Player to drop out for about 5 minutes last night, EXACTLY at the moment that Billy Sharp scored our 3rd. I retuned straight over to the Posh 'taters to hear them talking about the goal... Totally meant I couldn't leap up and down and dance round the room like a loon as I had to the first two. (Hell, when the second one went in I had a mouth full of Suffolk Vintage Ale - how I managed NOT to spray it over the keyboard/monitor I'll never know) Anyone else get funny looks at home/while driving while listening last night?

Oh dear, another great plan goes down the toilet,

Since when has that ever stopped the mongs? Meanwhile how good is it to wake up with a smile on the face again after the past couple 10 days or so of worry?
