Not on the pitch obviously but off it. Could collusion like this between fans and club improve the atmosphere at SMS? http://fsf.org.uk/blog/view/boro-let-fans-enjoy-the-match-their-way

Now when it comes to complying with trades descriptions etc there isn't. To run out of something on offer is annoying but understandable. To take a customers money and palm them off with something they haven't ordered with no explanation is very poor customer service at best, a breach of the sale of goods act at worst. Having said that why any one would pay the sort of money charged for the quality of food on offer is beyond me.

Is there any interest in watching a Saints - only match day TV channel?
Wurzel replied to Giordano's topic in The Saints
This. Plus it gives you another 30,000 potential audience. -
Sounds like the emotion of the occasion has got to you. I'd recommend a short stiff drink to make you feel better Sent from my GT-I8190N using Tapatalk 2

Much as I'd like to agree with you that's an urban myth. Everyone my age and older remember's that being reported in the Echo, but there is no mention of it anywhere official. A member of the original working party for the bridge (now retired and certainly not one to stick up for the council of either party) told me personally that it was never even a consideration.

If the aim was to help Woolston it would never have been built in the first place - it was a much busier place in the days of the Floating Bridge before the "bypass bridge" was built.

My favourite - nothing special except for how steep it is. Feels like 45degrees but probably much less in reality. You just have to put you foot down and go, absolutely no idea what's coming the other way (a coach when I done it once!!!) until you crest it as you're staring straight into the blue sky. Northern end of La Manga strip in Spain.

Vasili Arkhipov done a pretty good job as well. Is it only a matter of time until someone makes the wrong choice? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasili_Arkhipov

Global warming really is happening... (well, duh!)

If the evidence is really that overwhelming shouldn't the third instalment be the one with the highest priority? -
You're confusing your margins with your mark-ups Mr Grant. Taking VAT into account the shirt would cost approx £17.40 - still relatively high considering the huge volumes they'd be buying in .... or maybe not then

Note to self: Don't try and join in a debate on 3 posts a day. Not sure what category you file me in. I do believe research into climate change should continue for the sake of accurate predictions. But I do not believe it is something we can possibly control so to tell industries that they can or can't do certain things or must pay extra because of it is, in my view, wrong to the point of deceitfulness. I appreciate that you have read up far more on the subject than I have, but I have seen nothing yet that will convince me any recent change in our climate is man made. It has heated up before, it has cooled down before and will do so again, all on it's own without our help. So why should, for example gas, oil, aviation industries be made to foot the bill? Are peat burners or logging companies contributing? Or the beef/dairy industry? Why am I forced to buy crap light bulbs that harm my eyes? As I say I do believe we need accurate predictions. If - big IF - it can be proved sea levels are rising then defences need to be built, and future homes need to be built on higher ground. If temperatures are rising/falling we may need to rethink locations of crop plantings, make buildings warmer or cooler etc. If the Earth is to become unlovable then look into moving to a new planet and starting again. But to think we can control it is, in my view, ******** (I think that's the correct non-scientific expression) and to be honest makes us guilty of thinking we are far more influential in the ways of mother nature / the vast solar system / universe / whatever than we really are. -

Wurzel replied to 1976_Child's topic in The Lounge
IMO the two bold phrases are why some find it funny. What is the point of taking a precautionary approach for something we can not control. ? Plan ahead by all means - i.e flood defences if it's proved sea level will rise being one example - but restrictions on industry/taxes/levies etc (which I assume is what you are referring to as you relate it to GDP) are pointless as a defence against something we can not control and nothing more than disguised taxation -
For countries like us with strong leagues I'd agree. But try telling that to Tahiti.

In order what decade was the best time supporting Saints
Wurzel replied to chocco boxo's topic in The Saints
This. Very much this. You probably didn't intend posting it twice but it was worthy of a second read. . Particularly remember the Ipswich game you mention - from under the West Stand, tunnel corner - thought my heart was going to burst out of my chest with the sheer nervous excitement of it all. And that just a bog standard league game. Can't imagine ever getting that feeling back nowadays. -

Exactly what killed the atmosphere at grounds. You can still meet your 10 - 15 mates for a pint before the game, even learn a new song, but once you reach the stadium you all go your separate ways and sit in 1s and 2s in various parts of the ground. A couple of blocks of unallocated seating are desperately needed to bring back the atmosphere to even a fraction of what it was in the 7os/80s. And in answer to OP, the eighties. -
Do you think players get advised not to look on this forum?
Wurzel replied to ashleyb5443's topic in The Saints
No. Most of us read it. Some of us even post now and again. -
Pace counts for nothing if you're not running in the right direction. Over 90 minutes a quick brain will always come out on top over quick legs. Felt JayRod was the weak link yesterday. Ramirez (assuming he's fully fit) and Osvaldo spotting each other's runs for 90 minutes would have wiped the floor with West Ham's dinosaur age defending.

Other people. Biographies are written about others. AUTO-biographies are written about oneself. Yours pedantically

If there's no confusion why are pundits and commentators confused? Why were both appealed for by players? Can you confidently say neither would have been given in another game by another ref ? Sent from my GT-I8190N using Tapatalk 2

I'm not complaining about individual decisions as they tend to balance out. But there seems to be confusion over what is and isn't handball. It should be simple. If your hands are in front of your face or torso as JWP's were then the ball would have hit you anyway so no handball. If hands are above your head or spread wide as in the Norwich guys case you make yourself a bigger blocking target. Should be handball even if from close range.

Seven Saints Academy Aces - look at them now!
Wurzel replied to Saint-Armstrong's topic in The Saints
Interesting comparison with the ManUtd "kids" is that whilst they were developing they had the same first team manager throughout their career. Ours have had 3 or more in their time yet all have kept them on, suggesting all our managers have recognised their future potential, and/or the committee style leadership throughout all levels at the club is paying off. -
In answer to the original post - NO! We are building a strength in depth SQUAD, not a first choice nest XI plus back up, and we've already shown we don't need to sell to buy if we do want to strengthen it further. He's flexible and can immediately slot in as and when required either off the bench or starting a game. I'd like to think that no player is sure enough of his position to be considered guaranteed first choice, that's when complacency set's in. Cork is just the sort of player to keep anyone picked ahead of them on their toes.

Nope. Tried both. Usually see tweets celebrating goals before they go in on the stream.
