  1. OMG MP isn't there........ What does this mean....... PANIC............
  2. Lol my worry on that was NC to team up with Bernie & his mates to come back into football by buying us with NC in charge....... Briatore and all that gang........ After all Bernie may have some time on his hands IF he doesn't get jailed and has been kicked out of F1
  3. Hey it was only a retweet
  4. The charm offensive starts then. And shows some thought processes were at work before yesterday afternoon.... Or....... Ah so THAT's why NC quit
  5. Ant James ‏@antonydjames 23m Odds slashed on Pochettino closing with "...then I saw her face, and now I'm a be-Liebherr". #saintsfc
  6. Oh God no, his mates did a sterling job at QPR.............

    Thailand

    Oh and don't take weed in or out of the airports . In Vietnam we didn't come across anything like that until we reached Hue and then we couldn't move 10 metres without someone selling it to us. (thing is although it looked like weed, smelt like weed it was actually Hemp. Not that we know anything about it our tour guide showed us) But up in Sapa trekking they had PYO every 100 metres....

    Thailand

    Book flights BEFORE you go - LOADS of "Low Cost" Carriers in Asia these days and like Ryanair & Easyjet the earlier you book the more deals they have. Air Asia are very good but you can even find deals on the likes of Emirates or Qatar who tend to fly loops in (or out) of Vietnam and back to BKK. (As an example we flew Business from HCM to Da Nang for $80 one way booked on line when the economy price when we got there was $110 (Vietnam Airlines are actually fine as well but do have a habit of changing routes/cancelling flights) Air Asia from Hanoi to BKK was $70, Thai was $90 and we got Business on Qatar for $95 which was VERY nice and saved us buying dinner when we landed:) BTW take a 1/2 day trip to the Tunnels in HCM - Chu Chi and the museum there. BUT while HCM is interesting it is the "Commercial Hub" Hanoi is better loads of backpacker hostels in the Old Town and you can do day trips to Halong Bay Oh - and a long train ride out to Sapa is an absolute MUST for a couple of days trekking - don't take my word for it just go to google images & type Sapa Vietnam Etihad are actually fine, the airport at Abu Dhabi is small and transit can be a bit rammed. IF you are on one of their 777's you have 3-3-3 configuration so the seats are decent width (compared to Emirates) but they can be a bit short on leg room if you are a 6 footer. You should be able to request a seat online well before check in - strongly recommended and look to sit as far forward as you can as Immigration in Bangkok can be nightmarishly slow. Easiest way into Central BKK these days is by train. They have an express and a local train local is cheaper, if not then it is the bus, good luck with that
  9. The Milan job is not going to be available until the summer. Must be some odds you can get somewhere on that, & on NC turning up there first. Wasn't there a quote from MP about his contract renewal - he wasn't that concerned that talks had not yet started? Yes and interestingly 18th December http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/southampton-boss-pochettino-plays-down-new-contract-talks-3997807
  10. Have actually just read the article. It really does sum things up very well.
  11. Meh, clearly NC simply found SCW's old files in the office when he walked in
  12. MailOnline Sport ‏@MailSport 19m BREAKING: #SaintsFC manager Mauricio Pochettino will commit to the club after talks with owner Katharina Liebherr http://dailym.ai
  13. Steve Grant ‏@SteveGrant1983 11m Some unquestionably good #saintsfc news today, @VictorWanyama back in full training!
  14. Somehow Clattenburg or the Referees' Association must be to blame. It's all a Conspiracy that's f'sure Happy New Year btw
  15. And REALLY? With everything that went on yesterday, who the hell did WHU negotiate the deal with? Ah so NC did the deal to sell SRL and KL stepped in to save a legend.... Neither make any sense
  16. Just missing Barbie and it will be just like the old days on here Glad to see Mack & Mero are still well
  17. This makes the most sense of anything I have read since this story broke. Thanks #GLOBALSFC
  18. Fair enough. Don't think KL is stupid whether she wants to sell or not and will (in some way) communicate with MP and the staff today. Also while NC will have had a number of approaches made to buy the club since ML passed away and clearly would know who was interested, this really does not feel like a walk away to come back. It would not have rumbled on since the summer if that was the only reason. Of course he MAY now be calling people up hence some of the scuttlebut out there.
  19. What's going on? 4 non-blondes

    Shane Long

    Phew. That was worrying for a few moments
  21. And let us not forget the "immortal" Keith Harris (no not the Orville one the Seymour Pierce one).
  22. The interesting reactions today will be those of Lee Barnard Billy Sharp Aaron Martin et al. They all seemed to drop by the wayside along the journey and may have a few valid inputs on the CoC
  23. Sort of on topic... Some years back my old employer got taken over by a big French conglomerate... We had a huge 1,000 person+ Sales Conference in Rhode Island to start "Ze Iteegrashion" We were an American outfit they were French, pretty clear things were not going to go well when the American VP of Marketing showed this clip in his presentation It got worse when Zee new Fronche CEEO came on zee staage to make 'ees motivational speak... We 'av a vorry deeeficult tome a'ead of ussz. Zee competeetion weel be attacking us at ovary hopportunity. In zees time we must bend our backs to zee stone and f\/ckus. Zees f\/ckus ees zee most important sing you can do ovary day while you bend at your desks f\/ckus ovary day......... Yeah that worked, 75% of the Management from the US company did just that to the French as we ran for the exits p1ssing ourselves laughing. The best bit was he TRULY could not understand why over half his audience were convulsed in hysterics
  24. PM Bearsy. Think (s)he has good sources on Mumsnet Think I read something in the paper this last week or so that if you want a lively discussion you should post about being interested in meeting up for casual sex...
