  1. Hint The lead Russian lives in Sandbanks Wonder what he would prefer to with his Saturday afternoons? Fight his way past us or...... Chat on his Yacht with a retired Champ League winning "Arry Just a guess of course
  2. Was in Kuala Lumpur for 45 hours on business in early December. I googled where to go for dinner. It sent me to a street near my hotel. I found this place I decided to avoid the dodgy fruit & went to the Fish place next door
  3. Ah this thread, the Echo article. More reasons why sensible parents send their kids to play mini-rugby and leave the football to the school/college/uni teams. OK so they ain't ever gonna make the PL but you end up with real kids.
  4. My first game was at of 8 wallopped by a Spurs side of Chivers, Gilzean et al around 67. 2nd was the Man of Charlton Law & Best wallopping same year Milk crate at the front of West Stand for that one - I learnt fast My Daughters first game at age 8 I can remember was the ZDS Cup Final BUT I think she went about 5 and sat on the crush barrier on the Milton dressed up and loved it My Eldest Son's first game (still goes when he can) was 5 no idea who but he was on the Milton sitting on a Crash Barrier. His face outside Wembley some 19 years later for the JPT is in the list of top 5 things I will never forget My youngest son's first game was Poopey in the Cup last year at age 22, with his brother - it NEARLY cured him of the evil ex wife's influence by turning him from Scouse to Saints, maybe if The Cheats hadn't cheated again we'd have made the full conversion. He's coming back in a few weeks and wants to go again
  5. Delldays on one side vs Hypo on the other... Oh that's funny Now how to gety Alps across, he Sooo should get on Solent as Match Summariser meanwhile, did we do something for Charity at the first game? I know the fees go to cover the VERY professional operation & cost of the game, but could we do something, a bucket collection, profits from the matchday programmes or is it all tied in to Saints Foundation these days..? Oh crap, I have to find another D_P global sporting legend moment, phew only took 2 seconds
  6. Don't go up? Adkins will stay Cortese will get fired simples, he'd have had two years to achieve the dream
  7. I do. You can help with the Gatorade Bottle demolition inbetween rubbing calf muscles with Deep Heat No serious, just need Granty to get you a pass and you to promise to buy at least your shout at the after party & I see no reason at all. After all a choice between you or Sue Whistle - she'd just be trying to get me to change tactics all through the game, you I know would stick to your task man oops womanfully
  8. You PLAYED in a forum match? Hell, I sure don't remember seeing you on the pitch. Well, you did walk into that one oh Harrods Jam Provider
  9. Best advice from last year was "Tell her to bring a good book"
  10. Unfortunately, due to the global economic recession, I had to trade in my Tardis and get a proper set of wheels instead, so I'll just have to trust in the boys now.
  11. What was worse was that being Saints fans we just HAD to buy a can... Oh and yes similar memories of 'Pool running away and us getting there "in the end" rather than seriously expecting to win it
  12. Is someone thinking we've become the A-Team all of a sudden? Jaidi as Mr T That works
  13. Ah, back to the OP. It may have only have been the JPT, but having 55,000 of us all in one place and with one voice and one belief - The Saints are Coming... For THAT to ever happen again has to be right up there with winning the Euromillions as a dream. But at least we're buying the ticket every week now
  14. You may think that sir, but I could not POSSIBLY comment But wouldn't it be a hoot when Rupert turns up to play right wing for Nick OK on second thoughts, it's meant to be a serious fun evening Mind you, Gemmel? Where did you put Rupe's card when you met him on the train to Charlton
  15. Nope..... If you remember, after the match, the managers have the TV Interviews. Oldnick went first, he is soooooooooo not media savvy and is sooooooo succinct his interviews lasted around 25 seconds (about average according to his wife) and he then went back to the showers (hence the KitKat & Mars Bars allegations). Obviously as everyone knows I like to keep things short and sweet, so my interviews only went on for hours, in fact they made a whole mini-series out of them to use when teaching Sports Management degrees. By the time I finished, the lights were out & most of the lads were already in the pub. So luckily I avoided the sight of Granty & LM's lad.
  16. And where did I slag him off? Arsenal play to RVP's strengths (eg they don't hoof the ball in the air to him). I questioned whether LB is effective when we are in possession if he plays with his back to goal rather than being the player arriving in the box. It was more a question of our tactics & style of play. IF I was getting close to slagging anyone off then I can be accused of having a small dig at NA as I felt in the games I watched that we didn't score (enough) from open play when we had the possession that meant we should have done. I did quote my opinion of his strengths and weaknesses and many others agreed with that. So my OP is still valid, I did SAY we shouldn't order a taxi for him, but IMHO we did not get the BEST out of him (ie goals) in the 2 games I saw.
  17. Not forgetting our selection centre on Tyneside that found Alan Shearer
  18. Will be a total failure unless we win the NPC & reach Wembley in the FA Cup final to gain a place in Europa League
  19. Oh, so that didn't go well then. Hey Honey, we still have some free tickets left, why don't you come back with me for a short break to UK & watch me in action in my suit and maybe kicking a ball around in the warm up on the Hallowed turf. Do I have to? really wasn't the reaction I had hoped for.
  20. Chickens Count Don't We had a thread about why Bad Luck seems to haunt us not so long ago But looks bloody good
  21. Interesting (or Ironic) the football & cricket teams both had a 0 in the scorelines today 231-0 harumph 2-0 great God I hope we get through and get based in Poland - GF's family have about 6 acres on the outside of Krakow all ready for Camping on. Tent's already packed
  22. Going. No, not I am going, but Going Am Wilden Kaiser in Austria. Fairly easy drive down, done it twice, not a huge village and a whole bunch of Fruhstuck Pensions (B&B's) when I went there when Austria was still ruled by the Hapsburgs Good Ski School and it is connected to a much larger ski area for grown ups
  23. Nope. But I did take Serio Garcia to the Bathroom, but having been told a couple of years ago that he plays Commando I did the quick any stalkers around check and got the hell outta there. Thanks for the chance of ANOTHER Golfing Tale Hammy
  24. Actually it was a damned good play, deep and moving and the horse horror scene was really well done. But 90% of the audience only had eyes for one thing unfortunately
  25. OK so I am not the only one who's noticed this. Thanks Jam And the last sentence sums things up perfectly, leaving SMS Saturday all I heard was foocking rubbish, garbage blah blah blah after a 2-0 win. Oh and to the non-readers - LB would be my first pick every game OK? Just I would try and play to his strengths more.
