I must admit to having a little chortle. So we have Marcus & NC rocking up to save the day and create the new Barcelona. We had How to buy a football club on telly and someone goes to Thailand to hear Bryan Robson talk about the Academy. And then the Russkies turn up on TV and say that they are in it for The Academy. Anybody spot anything randomly nay possibly even obscurely connecting those concepts? Seems to me that there must be some incredibly intelligent Marketing Guru out there in the world typing Business Plans for people what a fine and visionary chap (or chapess) he (or she) must be. Now, if only we had some whacky link to give us a clue to where that could possibly have all started from, randomly of course. Wouldn't it be funny if the Russkies found a business plan lying around on a beach somewhere and unlike some others, (or not possibly) having shafted a few (well placed and RESPECTED) advisors along the way were now sitting around making the statements and (thanks to the language barrier) wondering what they were actually saying. I tell ya, I'd find it funny. Now, where was that Bompey Interview?

Oh great. Commentators curse of a thread appears the day leading up to a Carling Cup game at SMS where we will no doubt give some fringe players an outing Better change my Prediction League then

You bstds. I can't BELIEVE it. I ran away from Blighty to escape all this crap. But oh no, it wasn't enough to have had to cope with Brucie & Strictly on Beeb Worldwide last year, this year our main Sat channel OSN has decided to deliver us the delights of The fecking X Factor. Is nowhere safe anymore?

VW. (Hmm never thought of that are you a Jetta or a Golf?) Think this deserves a place on the main forum mate. It may not be NC inc related but it very definitely relates to Saints past and us old farts on here It's a great cause needs a bigger audience of posters & lurkers

Oh good, I am so relieved. I am so happy that Corpy has been proven to be right

OK so now I'm angry Payment was done last week for my renewal to Saints player Yet today I cannot access it.... One is not happy

hmmm oh, and no

haha Now there's a surprise. Let's all have a guess at how long it will be before the Russkies plan an interview on Solent and the fans can email their questions in. (As NC did) I'll start - about 5 years?

Yeah hence the plus plus plus. Cannot believe somebody would have kept their list so short. To post that NC is a bigger legend than Channon who has reached the top in two different sporting careers (as did CB Fry) just shocking to be honest

50 mile round trip 10 quid Parking 4 quid Being a plonker and leaving home without a ticket. 10 quid. Having a temper tantrum about it and then going home without seeing the match. Priceless

Can't comment on how it was done, but it's been clear to anyone without Engerlund or nuffink glasses on that the modern way of playing is building from the back. We watched it all through the World Cup last year from teams other than England, we saw it very early on in NA's reign with the CB's pulling wide to receive the ball. And yet I just KNOW that when I finally get up to SMS this season, some numpty dinosaur near by is going to be standing up red faced screaming at Davies to FFS just fecking kick the fecking ball or FFS stop fecking pansying about. Football is a simple game if you can keep hold of the football.

The only good banker is a dead banker. Burn the lot of them, especially anyone who knows what a CDO or a CDS is.

WTF?? Terry Paine Mick Channon Ron Davies Charlie Miller plus plus plus plus.

Everyone needs something to believe in. I believe it's time for a beer.

OOOh a thread comparing foreigh places that forumites have been to, hooray! Does Porto have any decent golf course? Has Tiger ever heard of them? Meanwhile, you've all completely lost the plot. Cortese was a banker. Just because he's taken a couple of years off (how do we know he wasn't downsized like so many others btw?) from being a banker, still makes him a banker. All bankers should be burnt at the stake. End of discussion. after he has led us th CL glory of course

Enjoy the good days. They've been few and far between these past years. Another surprising (before the game) result and another great performance that had the Solent guys salivating into their coffee. Happy day, long may NA keep getting the team set up to give them to us.

Something very strange is happening. Some people saw what NA was trying to do last season, some moaned. However what very few of us (me included) did NOT do was to believe. Maybe after a few beers we hoped but no, we didn't believe. We went on a run that few of us could remember bettering, but still none of us really believed. We went through the summer, deep down we all expected AOC to leave and hoped none of the rest of the squad would leave, we hoped we would find the players that fitted into the Team, but we didn't believe. Now, here we are, breaking records and (in my case just from commentary) playing football of a style and effect that we haven't seen (or heard) in decades. Now, finally, we may just be starting to believe. What we all seemed to forget is that NA and to an extent NC have been telling us this for months. The fans are now starting to believe. Thank GOD the TEAM began to believe last season during the MKD game. We are Saints fans, we cannot believe we should believe, that makes this strange weird roller coaster we seem to be on all the more amazing. Everyone needs something to believe in. I believe I'll have another beer.

And 17 places above the skates

Well, am sure gonna enjoy that roast beef now. All that remains is the 20 minute limp down the stairs with the sticks. Jeez I wish I'd been there, another great game and a cracker for my lad to pick on his trip back home on hols

Ohio shoots - he scores yet again Who needs Nuns when we've got Ohio!
