The Cat

I saw them support Parquet Courts in Oxford. There was mosh pits and crowdsurfing, beer being lobbed about. 20 years ago I'd have been right in the middle of it, nowdays I lean against the wall by the bogs!

What's also unprecedented in the Premier League is a medium sized provincial club having a squad with so many players who the top and richest teams in the country (and maybe beyond) want to buy at the same time. If anything you need to blame the inequality in the league. Something that began with Sky pouring obscene amounts of money into the game. But yeah, just carry on paying your Sky Sports subscriptions while complaining about it.

Despite the fact I never go to friendly matches I was thinking about it, but no way am I paying £15 for a ticket.

Are there any ex-Saints keepers not doing coaching?! I may well hold you to that bowers. Get the cones out!

He works with Le Tissier's coaching set up. Thanks for the replies.

And there you have it. There's no point in anyone getting all worked up when they have absolutely zero idea about what the club are doing behind the scenes.

My son has been signed up to play for Hedge End U9's next season and I've heard about two coaching schools that do dedicated keeper training. One is Le Tissier's and the other is Premier 1 which is run by Scott Bevan and Darryl Flahavan. There's not much info on either website so I was wondering if anyone has any kids that have been to them, how much they are and whether one is better than the other?

I haven't seen him but have heard he's something special. Also was it on here where someone said his parents were pushing for him to go to a bigger club?

Not sure on that. Saves having to hide a second mobile from your other half though!

I've also become bewitched with a mysterious lost album from 1983 that's just been re-released. Legend has it the bloke who made it rocked up for the album photo shoot in a posh sports car and a girlfriend with model looks on his arm. When the photographer tried to bank the cheque it bounced, and no one heard from him again. A few years ago some crate digger came across the album in a junk shop, bought it and started to investigate the music and the man who made it. It's now come out again on vinyl and cd. It could be described as a synth Nick Drake with slight similarities to Angelo Badalamenti and even mellower Springsteen. Whatever, there's something incredibly intriguing about it's hushed, understated delivery and melencholic tones.

Saw this band a couple of weeks ago, they were incredible live. This is their new single, first album out next month. [video=youtube;7deSgu3-Fb0]

Another thing the Chinese sellers often do is root the phone before sending it which means no junk apps that you never use and cant get rid of.

There's plenty of info about the different models online. I was looking at the Cubot X6 at first but it doesn't seem to run on the same 3G network band as my T-Mobile SIM. You can buy the Cubot and various other models on Amazon. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Arrival-Cubot-MTK6592-1280x720p-Smartphone-Black/dp/B00J9KHXVG/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1405801450&sr=1-3&keywords=cubot

Chinese phones are the way forward. The spec for the phone I just ordered at this price shows how much the big companies are ripping us off. http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Original-Niribu-H1-Niribu-Mars-H1-MTK6592H-Octa-core-1-7G-Android-4-2-Dual-SIM/412402_1722265866.html

I'm a medium, so if I was going to waste £50 on a shirt at least I wouldn't have to worry about what size to get - unlike all the fatties on here.

I was posting something incredibly witty on the SISA thread but when I hit "post" it was already locked. Oh well, it's the internet's loss.

Got mine today. Flicked through the book then lobbed it in the recycling. If I'd have known a free ST was up for grabs for writing some guff about watching Saints I'd have had a go though.

Got one asking to verify my son's age for his U11 ticket. Even though they clamped down on this last season there were still plenty of people without kids in the family stand who must have been flouting the rules.

Nice to see an analogy that the youngsters will get. A bit like Mark Lawrenson giddily shouting "don't panic Mr Mainwaring" during the World Cup.

Clearly some decent MDMA knocking around in Bermuda at the moment.

Plays anywhere behind the striker really.

He's on international duty.

Turn up to St Mary's about 1130 before a game and you'll see them all drive in. I was there before the last game of the season but couldn't tell you what they were driving because I'm not the sort of sad cretin that knows anything about cars.

They are definitely an upgrade in the looks department.
