Saints TV go philosophical, where DOES 4 minutes come from?

Ha she said hello last night. But couldn't fit you in as well as De Niro. Not bad effort I thought coming second choice to some 70 year old bloke I had a bit of bad luck, had to look after Charlize all night. What made the dream more unbelievable was I thought I'd woken up but then realised BWP had scored twice so it must have all been a dream.....surely?

Sorry, have I been drinking again? Did I just receive 12 txt's telling me that BWP hadn't actually missed?

Apathy. That is now the problem, we all had our opinions about how to get rid of the 3 amigos and it never actually got past each of us ramming our own ideas down everyone elses' throat. So we never worked out our own plan (something SB sort of alludes to) and all sat behind our mighty keyboards demanding something must be done. Well, guess what - when demanding something must be done it is always wise to have either a plan or somebody to actually do the work for you.... I have no issue with people not able to get to games because of work issues, distances, finances. I also have no issue with people not wanting to go to games because they do not think they are getting entertainment (but then in so many years of propping up the PL, have we ever really had that much quality football instead of last minute stands?). I also do not have any issue with the ability of people TO CHOOSE not to go to games because of the politics/people at the club at the moment. BUT I AM GETTING DAMNED FED UP WITH THEM RAMMING THEIR POINTS DOWN MY THROAT! People - I get it ok? I got it the first time round. I don't agree with you but you are entitled to your choice. But STOP with the self-righteous explanations. I have a problem with people who use the fact that they are unhappy with the regime to get publicity in this way, or even to post in some new age ITK way how clever they are to believe losing last week would lead to a change in the Boardroom. Chris is entitled to his opinion, but t should not be in the Echo, it is not NEWS, it is the word of a senior fan. Why him? Why the publicity? Using the club's plight to get his name and photo in the paper? Does he have a secret PR agenda. - Sorry I KNOW that is being *****y, but he is taking a political stand based on his principles - good man. Bragging in the Echo about it - bad. IMHO this being "political" the Echo is out of order NOT giving the immediate right of reply to one (or is it THE one) fan who has not missed any games this year. (No I don't mean a luvvie, I mean a fan who watches the TEAM). Yes Chris I think that the one thing the fans now agree on is that we ALL want the regime gone, but as a senior "supporter" you are also a role model (in the way I attacked LS last week). Your actions and calls for boycotts or wishing for us to lose are read by many others and give them the chance to take up that mantra. In some ways, would Chris have had such coverage for his opinion on who he would vote for in the coming election? No of course not, but again, the Echo is quite happy to print "bad news" it sells more ad space! He is right to not want to go, the Echo are wrong to give him the space to "self publicise what is, at the end of the day, a personal decision. Whatever next? Interviews in the Echo with people who decide not to attend the cinema? Who boycott Waitrose in favour of Lidl's?

Dunno about affording a heavy defeat, can we afford the Diesel for the -mini-bus to get the team to the ground?

Ah and so here we are on the morning of a big match, nay even a local Derby. And not a word from the hardy 68 souls online about the build up to the game yawn all round I guess

Oh well has to be said..... We haven't exactly won many games with them in the side have we? So I doubt we'll notice they've gone...... :Winky irony thingy: ho hum, where's the cavalry?

Hmmm what to say to that. 1) Welcome to the real world 2) When kids come it gets worse 3) Sort it out Seriously, I ain't no Life Coach guru, but a good friend of mine is and so I ain't qualified in advice giving. But about a zillion years ago I sort of had the same thing. There is something I only REALLY noticed when I left UK which is how "sort of programmed" I had been there to think that life was all about getting the rose covered cottage and 2.4 kids and an overdraft. The main issue is you get all focused in a relationship and work towards a goal - the moving in. It becomes the goal, the ambition and the focus for almost everything you do. The problem in life is suddenly you achieve the goal and ooh fook what do you do next? You sort of hit that, she thinks 2.4 kids and you think pub with mates... You sort of don't have a common target. Have a think but stupid things like "redecorating over 5 years" and leaving the nursery until last gives a goal, maybe the shrubbery or the trip around the world (by boat I guess). If you having nothing to aim at you end up ****ing all over the floor. Just my experience, I aimed and ****** look where I ended up, oldest swinger in town (from the SONG, not the weirdo key throwing thingy)

It's the house thing. It's ALWAYS the house thing. Read the one for the ladies thread and go back to #3

Friday Got mortalled saw Queen & Paul Rodgers. Great concert - ain't Queen & he can't do the high notes but great night out. Got home and found email saying the ex wife is claiming 105% of everything I have in the divorce. Gonna have to have WORDS with my lawyer about that little issue Saturday Chilled with the Chick Sunday Flew a long way and got ****ed and hingover twice Monday working and then that whole Suhari thing Strangely 9/10 for the weekend 0/10 for the domestic. Must be the weather or that John Sargeant thing messing the whole world's karma up

Affankyou. That's what we need right now, more love and forgiveness and just getting along. Unfortunately, as GM maybe able to testify, the Indians have just taken a pot shot at the moon and (Prince Philip's views not withstanding) they may have a chance of hitting it. So I think I'll keep to a "more chance of a pig flying over the moon to be safer", but it is still the only way I can see out this "today". As for the "all agree to sell out for a quid" line... And to annoy UP and be facetious (too late to download spell checker) How do we know they haven't?

lol good comeback. Probably better than the flight will be!

Of course. However in the unending war of the sexes, I felt that this was probably some of the most useful "undercover" information gleaned to help us to emerge victorious!

FWIW I blame you personally for today's result. In your initial post you forgot to add F**K ALL F****ING REFEREES & THOSE F****G IDIOTS WITH THE FLAGS EVERYWHERE Don't let it happen again please :smt077

hmm that's a tough one. Let me think. Where oh where could we possibly get a decent striker from at this level?..... :mad:

Has Jamie Hatch changed careers then? I thought he was out on loan

look lads I know already ok, but it was sent to me by a chick and from that perspective it is 1) a useful insight into how their minds work and 2) some are actually funneh So without further ado, hope it comes out as a copy paste from an email! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> All those men who say, Why buy a cow when you can get milk for free. Here's an update for you: Now days, 80% of women are against marriage, WHY? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage. Men are like.... 1. Men are like ....Laxatives .... They irritate the crap out of you. 2. Men are like. Bananas The older they get, the less firm they are. 3. Men are like Weather Nothing can be done to change them. 4. Men are like .....Blenders You need One, but you're not quite sure why. 5. Men are like .....Chocolate Bars Sweet, smooth, & they usually head right for your hips. 6. Men are like ....Commercials ......... You can't believe a word they say. 7.. Men are like Department Stores Their clothes are always 1/2 off! 8. Men are like .......Government Bonds .... They take soooooooo long to mature. 9. Men are like .....Mascara They usually run at the first sign of emotion. 10. Men are like Popcorn .. They satisfy you, but only for a little while. 11. Men are like Snowstorms You never know when they're coming, how many inches you'll get or how long it will last. 12. Men are like Lava Lamps Fun to look at, but not very bright. 13. Men are like Parking Spots All the good ones are taken, the rest are handicapped.

Don't suppose the ref was a good mate of one of the more militant Lowe out crew helping make sure we lost? (That was a joke......) I didn't listen and can't otherwise comment accurately

lol, just as I thought I had technology on here sorted, I can see the photo. Oh well, the jokes not quite as funny but it's the bloke driving the crane at 700m up http://www.flickriver.com/photos/86025776@N00/332918359 shame as the one I had almost inspires vertigo. Here's another on the right http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burj_Dubai It's +700 meters tall already and build entirely upon sand. Fortunately my place is 3.4kms away from it so even the bouncing bits shouldn't reach here when it gets too windy And no, I saw it being built, and have mates who have worked on it. I don't EVER want to go up there without a parachute

Lot of good it's done of late. Don't have the commentary on though, that may help, anyway my apoloies, been listening to Ainslie all week on radio down here, came on and thought this was the food thread, think it was that 6th too many last night

Interesting, Blinis, pancakes, muffin and the Mule. Now I know why I didn't bother coming on the match threads of late. Arsenal won't be happy tomorrow about Villa's second goal. And yep so far more than Saints Eric. The gig was good last night BTW

I absolutely cannot BELIEVE this thread today is about Pancakes I just had my dinner cooked for me and it was served with Blini's = Russian sort of Pancakes That is scary, just too damned scary

Think you read me slightly wrong there, as in asking them by email to comment for the forum, those types got laughed off long ago, but it would be MOST interesting if he has put a proposal onto the table and might finally give us something to focus on. But hmm, interesting I'tink we should all see if we know anyone else hiding up trees alongside your dicky bird. That could put the cat amongst the oh sod it...

Yep fair point. Though my first thought getting thumped would be why oh why the formation again? followed by the board because of the "what appears highly likely" hands on involvement. But having the beer last week with Eric, comparing our purchases from the Megastore, we do try. What can we do? try and keep the flag flying? or cancel our Saints TV subscriptions and not spend a fortune in the shop getting Christmas presents when we come across And you know what? I'd actually LIKE to be over there where I had a choice. I just HOPE I still have somewhere to go to when I finally get out of this mad place. My only real input into all of this is that we think it is BAD at the moment. Every hint rumour and snippet I hear makes me think we are actually badly underestimating matters and I REALLY can't see any other way. Maybe sack the board and have a committee of unity of you, LS & Salz explain matters clearly to the fans and then carry on in the same survival mode. Angry and depressed like everyone else.

Ah the joys of suffering at SMS or an away ground, instead of being surrounded by loads of Liverpool/WBA/Chelsea/Arsenil fans. At least then the pain is a shared experience, over here they only stick us on one tv in the corner of the pub without the sound on and then all look at us in that way you would look at a .... well you know, at least at SMS I can get a pint of real ale on the way there.... I share your pain mate! Anyway, there won't be any suffering we'll play 4-4-2 at home.... Oh b*gger JP's still there
