Taters being a touch sizeist about the Cov manager

Lol Solent have to turn down the crowd mikes 'cos we're making too much noise

Good looking team that today. Not as good looking as the match day thread regulars of course.

Gonna be a lovely change listening to the Clot after the game telling everyone how wonderful Forest were, how everything went right for them on the day, how happy he is that they won 5-1

Too simplistic statement by far. But he does nail one point. ML DID get us on the cheap. The club was touted around by many people (of widely differing levels of experience ) The price being asked was in the region of the Shareholder Equity value which was resolutely around the 32mil mark. He also DID get the debts "significantly reduced". Prior to admin adding those debts onto the Share Value made the deal to buy Saints much more expensive. However it has been the decision making SINCE that period that has determined our path. It was a hell of a stroke of luck for us, and if you look at other clubs that have gone into admin only a small few have been so lucky or have got back to a competitive level. Go pop get relegated and get a muppet in. Yeah that's really working for poopey isn't it. Stupid & risky

"A goal from heaven" was the headline that attracted me to the article and the news. How terribly sad. Total respect to Billy and of course my condolences at such a sad loss. A second article summed it up very well. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/doncaster-rovers/8864374/Doncaster-Rovers-striker-Billy-Sharp-shows-football-still-has-the-power-to-be-a-force-for-good.html

A rough diamond on his arrival who is being turned into a gem. Perhaps he is the blend of Papa Waigo & Antonio that we all wanted to sign in the summer but never realised we already had on our books. Still has work to do (as does SDR) but IF we go up we can see the beginnings of some PL quality in this team to build upon

Surprised if the Palarse fans actually could hear anything offensive, after all, there were so few of them

Interesting poopey have less points than we have consecutive Home Wins. Let's keep THAT stat running all season eh chaps?

Cool Just it was SKY NEWS that had it as a "Big Story" while you lot were still asleep this morning

Not been that much proven to be wrong yet though. Al Fahim was pretty accurate Posting that neither the Saudi FA, UAE FA nor the Saudi Chamber of Commerce had heard of Al Mirage. Posting the link to the article that showed Al Mirage was in fact a department Head of Personal Banking. Pointing out from two named witnesses that a McClaren F1 which bore an uncanny resemblance to one driven by CSI was parked outside a restaurant in Bournemouth, and pointing out that same witness saw Mitchell enter the same restaurant Posting the links to an article in the Bompey Echo which names their "agent" (No, not whacko cherrypip) who I have evidence in writing (passed to other TSF members for safe keeping) was in discussions about a business plan with a gentleman of long standing & experience in running a football club Posting the links to the forum that identified the guests of Mr Mitchell who were "shown off" to around 4,000 fans Posting a specific figure and asking if anybody could find any evidence anywhere on the internet that disproved the information I had cleaned that CSI diverted their sponsorship budget from Renault Williams to the poopey project. Nobody followed up my point that CSI DID actually sponsor RW last season. Oh and nobody has refuted that a McClaren F1 may occassionally be seen in the poopey area The Personal Net Worth of Vlad has been published. The figure is as repeatedly stated CO-INCIDENTALLY (and allowing for weekly exchange rate fluctuations) extremely close to a public finance initiative loan (public domain knowledge) which has (Public Domain Knowledge) links to a director of CSI (Public Domain Knowledge) the troll believes that it can expect somebody to quote the annual budget variations of a major US Multi-National on a football fans forum. yup, that's why his Social contact is the BogKeeper. He proved himself a true Socialist by explaining how having a budget was not important (especially to owners of what he holds to be reputable Banks) and that said (by his own words) esteemed owners of banks would just tear up all plans and spend money "because they needed to move to the next level" (words to that effect) Anyone who did ask has received PM's giving more details as to how this information was discovered. For the troll, best explain to your mum that somebody said it is best to store important work data safely away from your computer hard drive because sometimes it may break down and you need to get that information back, and have to give the computer to somebody else to fix. Gary Glitter could give you advice on why you should take care of secure data storage as well as you don't take my word. Sam Kiley is also doing some good stuff on Sky news about it at the moment

hmmm the troll had been missing from the poopey takeover thread for a week or so. No co-incidence inferred of course.

Well, Christmas is rushing in fast and those webbed fingers just don't give the sister so much satisfaction as proper fingers. bet they forgot 1) Batteries 2) Lube

Nope, infact according to Sky News, the POLICE are now involved. Footie looks to have tried to sweep it under the rug, however a Member of The Public has filed a complaint and so the Met have to now look into it... I guess a slick retaliatory move by some QPR supporter there then - lol

I liked this part of the quote Well, we all know his judgement of determining the Right Person. Interesting the troll returned today now that he is about to not have a pot to p1ss in at half-time. Clearly his contact, who he sees socially every couple of weeks, is named in those meetings minutes - Head BogKeeper CSI Had money - Correct (They were able to set a budget) They had a Budget for this season - Correct (see below) The Budget is Tight - Correct (Toilet Minutes Words of the few themselves) Did he libel CSI by the way by stating that they used money from other EU invested projects? Big difference in saying that in writing on a forum and commenting on co-incidences. Namely that it was a coincidence that the published net wealth of Vlad came to (remarkably close to) the same amount as an EU loan for Saab & Spyker Cars. Must be more in it after all, especially as he STILL goes on about it. He is also obsessed with a Bompey forum. Strange when I quoted the actual interviews and articles in the Bompey ECHO. But then he probably doesn't know how to click on a link, has to wait for his Mum to open up Windows for him, Would explain his lengthy absences. All that's left to discover now is whether the Russians got hold of Bryan Robson's (see Panorama) How to buy a Football Club Core Strategy Business Plan or whether it came from other sources. Perhaps it was Howard when they met him oop North, or Terry when they took one of their kids to sign up for arsenil's Academy, possibly of course it could have come from the ideas discussed at their meetings with "another un-named League One Club" (Their words of course on the Beeb, not mine) Poor old troll, simply cannot get his head around the fact that poopey were the only broken toy left in the train set box. Now then how many points they got?

As I have commented elsewhere. This is an adaptation of a GOLFING Chant. For footie fans, this alone should make them hang their heads in shame

Ben Hogan http://kempton.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/golf-is-a-game-of-luck-the-more-i-practice-the-luckier-i-get/ But also most great golfers down the years have had it attributed to them.... "The harder I practice, the luckier I get." - Gary Player http://homepage.eircom.net/~odyssey/Quotes/Football/Sports.html Also on the Golf Theme - The Northam have taken up Golfing Chants. Says it all really. It started with the Yanks and BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Weekly Morphed this year into LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE Donald And then taken up as SteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeVE by The Northam. That in itself should be enough to make them hang their heads in shame...... But very true comment with regard to Saints at the moment. This is what is making NA stand out IMHO attention to detail and mindset. Oh and D_P's favoured Golf Quote. Golf is an ancient Gaelic word for ARRRGGHHHBoll1x F\/ck Idiot

Good.

It wouldn't half be funny if it ever could be proven that the core basis & strategy of their 5 year plan had been written by some Saints Fans. Think the term, A Whole New Level of ROFLness would apply in such a situation Let's face it, so far Empirical Evidence seems to be starting to point that way, Pre Season - a coat of paint a massive meeting to discuss fixing the toilets a vast electronic scoreboard planned - wow that is SO going to improve the performances on the pitch an out of work manager so no Compensation to be paid (Well, with the apostrophe it does make O'Driscoll into almost a big name) oh and a vast electronic scoreboard get a SCHOOL to spend precious funds on their sports ground and then market that as being a major investment by you instead of a zillion pounds on players Couldn't make it up really Could you?

Would put up one of those ORLY posters if I had time to find one this morning. Really not surprised, was lucky to be able to go to Pakistan many times for work in the past and about 12 years ago went with a mate to the test in Lahore where we were guests of a former Lahore CC player and sat in the "luxury" of Javed's office/box. About an hour before the game, someone delivered a dozen brand new boxed Nokia mobiles to the room along with sim cards, some hushed conversation and one of the security guards collected them and went straight down to the Pakistan Dressing room with them. It seemed wrong on every level back then and made us feel really uncomfortable, so really no surprise at all. Even the PCB's Head of Protocol, a very pleasant chap who's job was to ensure all "foreign guests" were looked after was running around trying to get a job for himself / family members in any country or organisation. He gave us something like 20 CV's and would let us sit in the dressing room with the players if we wished (for a consideration of course). It is not a way of life it is simply part of the culuture that exists. (Oh in the end we didn't need to pay, we blagged our way in anyway!). Mark Nicholas was so shcoked to find a couple of Hampshire fans so far away from home! Won't judge the players, their ability makes them a part of the elite of society in Pakistan, where the level of poverty and things like skilled IT sales guys earning only a couple of hundred dollars a month make you realise that for them even $100 is a lot of money. Very sad that these young players got caught, but they sure were not the first and they will not be the last. They were just unlucky that the Fake Sheikh thought it would be a good story, wrong time wrong place. I can understand why they did it, how the culture allowed them to do it and how the ineffectiveness of the ICC made them think they could get away with it. I can also understand why they should not have any qualms about turning on each other in court or using such obscure defences such as "The Captain told me to run faster" But of course from my "Western Standpoint" it really is not cricket and they should rot in Jail, and "They are as bad as former poopey management"

Will you let go of my NUTS

Oh sometimes I love technology Lol at Saints player cutting out 2 seconds after they went to Selhurst See, even the innernet itself is a Saints fan thes days

Wow. Again. Will take that set of results tonight

What was that song? nannnnaaaa nannaaa nana Nineteen....

You still have that image of DM in stocking don't you
