Perhaps he could consider dropping the Ticket Tax for one game And charging 30 quid for a ticket Would that work?

While I agree with all your sentiments FF (& Turkish) I think NC may be a little ahead of even us in this "What it could really be like" thingy. After all, he's the one who mentioned (and we all laughed/moaned) about moving yet again from SMS to a bigger Stadium. I think he already has an idea about the Tiger he has by the tail. But yes, for one week it will be great to be a full ground side again, and Yes, with all the Hospitality sold out and real fans giving as much as the team rather than worrying about their wardrobes. But what would be even BETTER, will be to go into the game on the back of a run of results that gets SMS rocking both before and AFTER the game. Getting those numbers up to 27-28k every week because of our League form. That will show him we mean business

The bloke that washes the Lorries in the RMC yard came up with an interesting snippet this evening about this transfer window. Apparently "The phone is ringing just about off the hook with Agents calling in asking us to take on PL Bench Warmers, youngsters and other out of favour players for loans or permanent moves" An interesting comment, seems it is not so much about who we want to go after, more who we are turning down, it was followed up by "he can't ever remember it being like this in his 700+ years of truck washing" He's a fair source and I'm not getting all excited but it did make the grin I have had all weekend an extra inch wider. Even if not totally 1000% true, I can see what he means.

The media are asking the same questions. But I like his idea at the end! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/fa-cup/8249072/Time-to-test-big-club-bluster-about-magic-of-FA-Cup.html

Some years ago, in a small coastal Irish community, Paddy married a woman, Maggie, half his age. All was well at first until Maggie took delivery of a 'woman's' magazine and began to read things about sex. It soon became clear that she had never climaxed during sex and, according to her Grandmother, all Irish women are entitled to a climax once in a while. To resolve the problem, Paddy and Maggie went to see the Veterinarian since there was no doctor within thirty miles who could be relied upon not to gossip. However, the Vet didn't have a clue about people. But he did recall during hot summers, his mother and father would fan a cow (with a big towel) that was having difficulty breeding. Apparently, this cooled her down and helped her to relax. So he recommended they hire a strong, young man to wave a big towel over them while they were having sex. This, the Vet said, should cause the young wife to cool down, relax and possibly achieve the sought after climax. So the couple hired a strong young man from Dublin to wave a huge bath towel over them as the Vet suggested. After many efforts, Maggie still had not climaxed so they went back to the Vet who suggested she change partners and let the young man have a go while Paddy waved the big towel. They tried it that night and Maggie went into wild, screaming, ear-splitting climaxes, one right after the other for about two and a half hours. When it was over, Paddy looked down at the exhausted young man and in a boasting voice shouted, "And dat, me auld son, is how ya wave a feckin' towel"!! .

Aye, but who cares, we won the game that counted

Gotta laugh. Today was our freebie Golf Tournament day for working for the Ladies Golf back in December. Nice event on the Desert Classic course you'll see on telly in a month's time with Tiger chasing the chicks. Costs about 120 quid normally, and we get a nice dinner and free booze. I came off the course to find 5 text messages. First 4 were from people down here said whatever the price can you get me a ticket. I'm thinking WTF? Was only when I opened the 5th one from a Citeh fan who said brilliant you can turn the feckers over I realised we'd got the Mancs. FFS what is wrong with the plastic mancs. At least let me get off the course & into the bar and work out what you are talking about! Oh the answer was - let's meet for dinner in the week (you can pay) and let's discuss what your needs are before I post your contact details on the "Ticket Pricing & Policy thread"...

With thanks to an old poster from here, I found this on his Facebook Wall.... Nigel Adkins and Steve Cotterill met up in a pub last night, they had one drink, then another, and then a third... After he had finished his drink, Nigel turned to Cotterill and said... "Shouldn't you **** off now? It's the fourth round..." Nice one Dude, he knows who he is!

Ah, so THAT's what the letters on my gloves means. Ahhh, so that's why Irish Girls have C&A on their knickers> Meanwhile the Lallana/Johnson song is ORIGINAL and funny. Unfortunately it will not catch on in the Northam because it doesn't finish with .... And Pompey Are Sh11te

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo Today is the 9th Jan. My freebie BA tickets need 21 days advance booking................ Sod it, airmiles it is then will have to sit cattle class intead of oop front Great draw, chance to see how we really stand. Won't win and so we can have a fun day and then get back to the real job. Will give the City a great buzz as well. Go back just under two years and I really thought these days were gone forever. The Saints Are Coming, The Saints Are Coming

The bottle is already in the suitcase.

Lol, if you changed the colour from Tangerine to Red you'd recognise just about everyone on that thread as being someone on here. Still feels good this morning.

"Scumbag Storrie?" My, how things have changed Meanwhile, Referees giving Poopey a hard time? Wow, what a shock. Remind me again, who employs referees? And who have Poopey been giving the finger to for the past couple of years? Oh, the Alanis Morrisette

He's playing Liverpool next? Should have put his first team out today to give us a real game, the lot he put out today would be far too good for Liverpool ATM

Is that a Motability Scooter? You're at the wrong game mate, Bournemouth's that way

No abuse, I actually partially agree with both of you. What I am seeing that is different this year though is that we now appear to have 18 FIRST team players and we have seen over the Xmas & New Year as well as today that the mental approach is different. We're not picking "different teams" as much as picking a different system and players for different games. It means that whereas Hammond & CHaplow have been the fans choice in many games, Morgan has come in alongside Hammond and we didn't miss Chaplow It's a small and subtle difference, I still worry about fixture congestion with so many League games cancelled already and still the bulk of Winter yet to come, but as others have said, most of our rivals are still in there and B'muff may lose Howe

Wow, the education system has changed. You can get a degree in Consensus now? No wonder they want to cut back on the numbers at Uni. Mind you, how cool would that be, employing a team of graduates who have all been trained to say "Yes Boss"

Don't want anyone in the 4th round. We shouldn't be worrying about the cup Tuesday is far more important Bring in the Fringe players. Hell it worked for the 3rd round, if we keep it up we'll disinterest ourselves all the way to Wembley But would love to get a crack at creaking Liverpool at home or a wobbling Villa. Just to see really how much work we need to do in the next couple of seasons. Shame Avram Grunt will have gone from WHU by then or we could have got our own back against him for cheating with his bench last year For a Manc or Chelski at home then would have to check my last freebie BA flights (gotta use them up by end of Feb) even though we'd get tonked. But, somehow I don't think we'd get tonked as badly now by the Mancs as the last cup game if we had a decent ref)

Oh you nasty, nasty, disrespectful Uber Fans You've upset poor defenceless Ian Holloway http://www.premierleague.com/page/Headlines/0,,12306~2261953,00.html He didn't like you taking the p1ss out of their league position....

I can't find my glasses, but I think there could be another contender in that list. Surely the clash of the South Coast Titans up East must have drawn a massive crowd today?

Bit hacked off with Stevenage going and stealing all the glory, never even got a name check on Sky News Sports Round Up. Just got Blackpool lost.... No they didn't, they got walloped. Still interesting to see how AP prepared his side for a televised game vs NA (lights blue touch paper and runs)

Enough of the meh it was only their reserve reactions. The Blackpool Commentary team pointed out we had a completely new back 5 playing together from last week as well as 3 other changes from our last game. They also said that we dominated Blackpool, that we deserved a third goal and that even WITH all our changes we played like a cohesive unit, which they failed miserably to do. They also pointed out that NA got his tactics spot on, with our two forwards pulling wide and AL causing them problems on the edge of the box. We wanted it more, we planned better and we won. That was a damned fine effort and shows that behind the scenes we are working as a unit. Today was a great result but more important it showed that we CAN rotate players in and out and we still have a TEAM on the pitch. Sure, we won't do the same to a PL first team but right now this is one helluva of a good day and that buzz will help with a cold Tuesday night up at Oldham. Enjoy this evening, we've deserved it after the last few years

Ok so it wasn't a full first team. OK so it doesn't matter much But ooooh we hit the post

Guly You beauty Absolute sizzler say the Pool boys
