yessssssssss

phew so stressful. 1st up wanted to throw us out the pub for dress code violation - we aren't wearing tracksuits and hoodies. Then low battery and the only plug is in lounge bar no wifi there and now 24.08 left on the free wifi and 35 mins left in the game. beer is good tho McMullens AK

arrgghh

Harding in Spot fixing allegations. D-P contacted by Echo again for comment

Apparently that tanning salon is in Epping, under Whiplash Miss. Not sure my mum is that keen on sitting in reception waiting patiently tho

Puffy grey clouds when we arrived, haveing set out with a Simpsons sky.1 hour jam on the M25, and 10C Now the sky has cleared back to puffy Simpsons white clouds but a brisk north wind is whipping up the local chicks's mini-belts. Sign outside at tanning salon - Now taking reservations for December - clearly Essex girls get up to nothing except tanning

may even try and upload a picture later. Had to find somewhere warm, it is fecking freezing here at the mo for us hot blooded types

Queen Victoria in Theydon Bois on the edge of Epping Forest. God bless them free wi-fi & AK Real Ale. We look a bit nurdish sitting in the fireplace hunched over the laptop with Saints player. If ONLY we could get the women to shut up we could hear the commentary COYS

Trouble is that carrier pigeons cannot deliver memos at 40,000 feet. Had the same trouble with the what to wear to the cricket decision. I hate old age - nothing stays the same :-) Oh well The Libraby machine is cutting me off until tomorrow

Ah favourite band had it right all the time Black Holes & Revelations....

Why did The Echo send a Paparazzi crew to the Rosebowl yesterday to stalk me? And why wouldn't they sign my standard Image Rights contract agreement while flashing away with their Nikon. I don't look remotely like Illingsworth? (Oh and others besides Dan K seem to read this site which makes me wonder - Why?)

What a bloody good day out. First time at Rosebowl for about 3 years, wow what a great job they have done with the place. Great place to watch cricket, Ringwood best on tap and an actually not bad lunch in the back of the Pavillion. Good to have met some other TSW'ers there, only blemish was a bloke who hadn't seen a train timetable in 17 years trying to read one after a day on the beer and ending up going from Romsey back to Southampton Central. Thanks to the Echo Paparazzi for stalking me (no honest!, couldn't have written the script for that any better) Was so tempted to say "Well speaking on behalf of TSW p*ssheads" my view on Cheating Bstds is... But then I thought of NI & we just collapsed laughing again. And great big respect to the guys who upgraded us to Corp Hosp. As if we NEEDED any more beer at that time. Good game, great knock by Morgan & stunning run out the highlights. Great to see we thrashed the feckers in the end though, justice was served. And for those PC types who ever wondered, the way the Pakistani fans treated Trott after everything ENghlish Criocket has tried to do to help them and stand by them this year was a total disgrace. To think that if the English fans had greeted members of the Opposition like that there would have been arrests and questions in "The House". After that my view on Pakistan and their fans as an International Cricket Team - Feck off and don't ever come back. The world doesn't need you you ungrateful cheating sods

This is the Poopey Takeover thread. The thread for discussing "A few things I was pondering" (ie questions with no possible logical answers) is located in The Lounge directly below this thread

Not sure which scares me the most, the fact that you also remembered that thread or the fact that you found it

Forecast has improved so don't need my waterproofs, just my thermals! (and some sun screen hopefully!)

Because our leadership hasn't shown any intent?

We may also have an emergency back up plan involving a mate with a Viana. He is likely working ferrying people to & from the ground but the back up is he will collect us from a pub in emergency You have a PM

Why, whenever I travel or am about to travel somewhere by plane do I ALWAYS break my fingernails? It NEVER happens at any other time when I am near to a pair of nail scissors

Those were the names I was trying to remember How about a really unsuccessful club these days, Chelsea. And their chairman is Bruce Buck, heck he's a real footballing legend, look at this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Buck

It's a funny old game. The point being, who in their right minds could have believed that after last season we could be in this position? In these circumstances, history indicates that the goal that breaks a drought will come from an unexpected source (aka Ruddock's recently talked about penalty) I think once we get one, another monkey will get off the backs and the players will relax more and off they will go, also we will have a week of double training sessions and so providing they aren't knackered, it is as likely to happen on Saturday as any other

Out of interest, what were the footballing experience records of Askham Lowe Cowen Crouch Wilde And then a few more I picked at random Ellis Walker Gibson Levy Moores Gold Sullivan Think there may be a few more if I could be bothered to google. Oh yeah Broughton up at Liverpool

Lol - you did that click link as well - no way was I gonna start a thread on THAT after FF's one!

Okey dokey. Will see if I can fit the Dish Dash in, will need to find some monopoly money to wave as well though - in case there are any skates around. Oh crud, no that won't work, I had a shave today - the arabic doesn't look right without 4 days stubble So then looks like my 2007 World Cup England T-Shirt - has a 100% win record when I wear it to watch games (ie once) & my official Barmy Army Cap. Sorted The sash can wait to see what happens Saturday at the owls

For a holiday job when I was about to head to college I cleaned the toilets at the Nuclear Research place down at Winfrith while the regular cleaners were on holdiay. Once forgot my pass and gained access to the Plutonium processing plant loos by using the bottom of a doughnut box (fact) You'll always spot me when I'm back for midweek games, I glow in the dark. Ah those were the days, the road in took ages with all the concealed Russkie spies trying to get a look at the place

So what is the consensus? Should we wear our Saints Shirts with Pride (in the face of abuse from other Hogs) or are we in Civvies? Hope it doesn't finish Too Late - am a bit worried about the last train back to Salisbury, but hopefully the crowd not being expected to be massive may mean the Park & Ride gets us away to Parkway promptly. Overnight flight - little sleep, Match starts at 5:30 my body clock time and continues to 12:45 am body clock time, lots of beer & Sunshine. You'll all find me easy enough - I'll be the one snoring noisily in the members section by the interval - better get my mate to Video it for me!
