Reading pressing our passing game But a Top Stream
-
Wow you have ADVERTS before your football on Sky. That was a shock, we just get what's on next week.....
-
Can I send you some of mine? Anyone actually getting anything through a stream yet OTHER than iPads?
-
yeah bit worried. Been looking everywhere today for a Permanent Marker Pen but couldn't find one anywhere. I was so sure I would be able to draw a Blue Line under Tuesdays performance. It just doesn't look right in Biro. Hi Honey I'm home, let's go to the Gym. No honey that was lunchtime, you remember? Now is football time. Oh but you promised... Yes I did, I went and that is why I feel relaxed about having a beer (1664) & left over Chocolate Birthday Cake for my pre-match warm up.... Ho hum. Tough game ahead, stream not loading yet hope it is not one of those lastminute.coms that con you into thinking it will load and never does
-
Nuns - easy to explain. Dune's Burka Porn (which let's face it did get a result or 1,357 amongst the posters & lurkers on the match thread) - well THAT is a tough sell. Oh you know that never ending project thingy? get the diaries cleared there is some beer to be drunked later this week.

Slightly shorter than average, starting to grey, he bleeds Saints, but I'm sorry, he can be a bit of a fashion disaster. But I guess that's not important right now.

Pinot Grigo? FFS what sort of tactical change is THAT? And anyway, the sun in nowhere near the Yard Arm yet. You should be like me - off down to Physio, a quick swim in the pool and an hour in the gym. Which I'll do tomorrow I promise, I always keep my new year resolutions. Thinking of trying a new tactic myself tonight, start off with my personally imported Sam Adams Boston Lager and leave an OSH on the bench. Late KO screws with the whole dinner thing though, to eat before or after, that is the question. And again, Al Jiz barstewards. Gaddamt I should have done a work & family run back to Blighty this weekend and been there (or at least in a pub instead) of JudderVision again. But no, had to stay in to wait for the courier to deliver the 2 free tickets to Britney Spears that the GF won. (It gets worse, she expects ME to go) All of THAt depression BEFORE we get close to kickoff, cripes better have a lay down or I'll have an alpsattack

Now if THAT wasn't tempting fate....
-
Did mention in the post match reaction thread that for SOME obscure reason the DT decided to send one of their two GOLF corrspondents to SMS to write the report on the game. I know it bores many, but when the golfing Race to Dubai thingy happens in first week of December I will find him and verbally beat the proverbial sh1t out of him for that. The NA one is a good article by a football man though. Still, lol at the Jordan SIbley Tweet about the Press Conference this week, must have been really busy for a change!

Steven Davies' injury against us last week
dubai_phil replied to Crazy Diamond's topic in The Saints
Ouch Good luck to the lad and hope he makes a full recovery -
Blimey they don't hang about. Aresnil now hanging around & finding ways to stalk our TRIALISTS.

woosh It's only wrong when it isn't us

Big club in "Stealing Promising Youngsters" controversy. But shows we are still working to a long term plan. Now for the next Messi

Horrific treatment of Children in China? How many hundreds of thousands of unnecessary abortions are there a year simply because the Child is female? or you lot - all switching from your old CRT Monitors and TV's to flat screens It's the CHILDREN who are being harmed by the pollution from you lot demanding Smartpones for 29.99 a month Or the abuses suffered by Chinese workers simply so you can all continue your love in with everythjing iMac http://www.cultofmac.com/84167/why-chinese-factory-abuses-arent-an-apple-issue/ The ENTIRE world is harsh and cynical. The PR from this horrific event means that the Chinese Authorities will be kicked into action, arrests will be made and examples made and 7 bells of sh1t will be kicked out of the culprits for damaging China PLC's reputation. But no amount of internet outrage on here will help, only supporting the likes of GreenPeace & Amnesty OR boycotting products made there will actually force real change

You clearly didn't read the trail of the thread. IF the law states that if YOU are liable for the costs of Medical care then you can understand how that could make people act in a certain way. It is not simply about applying Christian values, nor about National or Historical Cultural factors. I gave an example earlier where my Son faced a potential manslaughter here charge when he & two mates pulled 3 Brits out of rough seas last year. Two Brits survived, the 3rd, which my son dragged out, died of a heart attack. In their case they simply got to the beach and then had to be carried themselves suffering exhaustion from the scene by other ex-pats BEFORE the Police arrived. In this incident in China - we still are not clear on the exact law. I did not say anything about calling an ambulance. I said that the appearance of the rule that someone who attempts to give First Aid becomes LIABLE for the Medical Bills would be a strong driver to NOT assist. I gave an analogy of one of US having to go home to our family and telling them that we had lost OUR house or savings because we TRIED to help someone else. The lack of NHS IS important - it means that "in ambulance chaser lawyer speak" somebody has to be liable for the bills. As others said above - a burial cost is much less than a lifetime of medical attention. Take your moronic retort with you when you go to SpecSavers. At NO point have I condoned it and at NO point have I said that anyone OTHER than professionals (or your new word Lobbyists) are the ones to do something about it. And while you are at it go stick your self-righteous attitude up your ass, your drowned Cockle Pickers in Morecambe Bay and your Special Needs slaves in the Midlands. Life is nasty. This was nasty. It MUST force change to the laws in that country

Yeah, let''s all gang up and get China to change their approach to Human Rights.... Or better still everyone could just boycott all those made in China clothes & smartphones. But it isn't going to happen. At the end of the day, getting home to wife & family and telling them you lost the house because you got hit with medical bills because you were a Good Samaritan is gonna go down how well? Matters like this are ammunition to the professionals who can find a way to argue for change in different cultures without breaking their laws and their cultures. This is one for the likes of Amnesty who can show it is bad PR for China PLC. But unfortunately because of the ingrained "Brit" Culture everyone misses one crucial point again, not everyone HAS an NHS, and not everyone has Insurance, so while the reaction is horrific - walk on by, who WOULD actually pay for Medical Care of anyone injured? It's one of those side effects of "Emerging Markets" Insurance Systems and processes are not so developed, Health Care is not so develeoped and Ambulance Chasing Lawyers haven't got started everywhere. Bad PR for business works wonders. Getting annoyed and protesting (even putting up tents in Wall Street) doesn't Life is incredibly Cynical unfortunately

Also, if there ARE reporting restrictions and someone posts something on the Internet, they may be looking over their shoulders expecting to get their collar felt for a while.....

Al Jazeera Sports have to be one of the worst companies in the world when it comes to customer service. Their football schedules online? Still showing last week's games.... So went and googled and found this link http://liveonsat.com/LJ_foot_b_english.php Worth putting in your favourites as it shows where ANY game is being shown live and will help to point towards a live stream. And of course for us down here - Noooooooooo - Effing Al Jiz isn't showing it Arrrgghh. Time to get a Polish Sat receiver then
-
Gotta agree. It's a bitter 32C here this morning Not sure I can take the beach today.

Here's a nice conundrum, so FL attendances are on the rise eh? FL is now the place to be. More watched Championship games than Serie A games. 4th most watched League in the world. So attendances are rising. Except at Nott Arf, bless. Still, nice to see that the few get a mention in the article - they feel closer to their team. (Well of course they would, in fact I expect most their crowd are closer to their team than any other fan in the ground.) Poopey fans, The Wigan of the nPc http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2051093/Football-League-shows-life-Premier-League.html

this. A performance and a result like we had on Tuesday then we ALL know how the BN (before nige) Saints would then let us down in the next one. There is still something not right about the mind set when we come out on the pitch, that cost us at Derby and needs to be cleared up fast. We the fans only just managed to get belief. We still haven't yet got "Don't get overconfident" which IS a big part of what NA has achieved. Another tough match, another point won would be a good result, we ARE on telly AWAY from home remember, not got the best record at that either historically. So a win would be astonishing, intense and euphoria inducing. A point is a good result against the top half teams, and if we keep winning (most) home games and beating (some of) the bottom half away then our destiny is in our hands. And don't forget, we'll be in the pub watching so a shortage of Nuns and weather reports from this side of the planet on the match thread
-
Although SMS pitch HAS been relaid more than once. Think it would be a fair guess to say that the costing for that was built into the proposal Anyway, 2015? yeah they can use SMS - last match before it's bulldozed to make a Marina complex as we move into our sold-out 60,000 seat luxury business class stadium on Jacksons Farm.... yeah right
-
Was that the total or the formation of their seating allocation? They should try 4-5-1 next away game, might get a point
-
Hmmm. Ouch. Still, must say, standing up on stage in front of about 300 people at our local Oktoberfest Tent last night singing OWTS backed by a 7 piece Oompah band was a damned fine way to finish the celebrations of B'day & 5 points clear. Well, it seemed that way at the time, really not so sure this morning though, future Mrs D_P doesn't think the "But I only had 5 beers" excuse works if they were Litres... Nice thing was, some of the Germans present actually had noticed we were top of the League, that made a nice change.. Oh well, plenty of recovery time before the weekend, but think I may stay on the Orange Juice as we watch down the pub.
