I'm sure someone has already said it in the many posts I haven't read, but wouldn't it make sense to hold off from sacking him until the FA investigation concludes? Then if Tonda is suspended for a year, he's probably broken some part of his contract and there's no / less payment due? (Or am I being dull, does his contract run out soon anyway?) It was a clusterfuck. But I'm of the view that if the players are behind him, then he we should keep him. People make mistakes, it was quite a big one, but others do the same and get away with it or take the punishment and are often forgiven. Toney is in the England squad for example. The whole thing has been blown out of proportion. If (quite a big if) there was genuine bullying/intimidation going on, then my mind would probably be swayed the other way. I'm not ok with that.

I was lucky enough to be there for that one, great game. Would've been hilarious if CMFG had scored from 30 yards out a few minutes after MLT had scored... Flew just over the bar IIRC. Short term cult hero Marsden, liked him and Bridge on the left.

Doesn't pass it does he?

I used to be F5 mad and excited to see who we were linked with in the past during the summer break. I'm now old and don't care for the game as much - I know I'm not the only one. Still very much a Saint though. Have we a nice simple updatable list somewhere on here to help less frequent flyers like me keep track of who we've sold and who we've bought? I thought it a foregone conclusion that Ramsdale and Fernandes would be quick to go but seems they're still around for now...

I’m not sure anyone will be interested in my efforts here. Would welcome comments if you have any. I have 3 options. A budget, mid range and expensive option. Budget is a Tier1 machine as suggested above. https://www.tier1online.com/1-1mj36us-aba/refurbished-elitedesk-800-g2-tower-intel-core-i5-6500-3-20ghz 16Mb Ram and 960 SSD. Just over £600 with a refurbed 22” screen. Cheap but a bit dirty, I’m worried it won’t be up to video editing. I’m not a pro though so may be good enough. Screen might be a bit rubbish too. Mid range is a built machine, designed for video (and therefore in my mind will be fine for photography) https://www.punchtechnology.co.uk/product/entry-video-editing-computer-2019/ Should be quick and has a lot of memory to mess around with. Considering a £200 standalone monitor with it. £1200 ish all in. Expensive. iMac, 21.5” screen. 16Mb Ram. Fusion drive (32Gb SSD and 1TB hard drive) With a 6% discount through work, should be about £1550. I think I’m favouring the mid option. The budget one just seems a bit of an unknown given I’m not very techy, and will probably struggle to modify any hardware if needed in the future.

6-0 Saints. Saganowski hattrick.

In truth, I could still sway for a laptop as I don’t see that there are huge differences between them and static machines. Maybe I’m being naive. I bought my previous MacBook in 2010 I think and it’s still going ok, a bit clunky no doubt. So it has proven to be good value for money. My work laptop is a Lenovo thinkpad, and to be fair, other than a replaced fan and screen, it has lasted a long time too. So I’m glad to hear others views and experiences. I have looked online, lots of people suggest apple is good reliability wise, and less prone to viruses etc. This does appeal to me, but for all I know everyone else is just as good now. Please keep eel your thoughts coming all, Very much appreciated.

I hadn’t thought about this route. Thanks. they seem to get good reviews. I guess it’s just a bit of a gamble, despite the warranty, seeing as you don’t know what the machine has done, and it’s theoretically 3 years out of date already - not sure how much that matters any more. Dellrefurbished is incredibly cheap with discounts, but has terrible reviews so I’ll probably steer clear of that one! A mac is always an option, I have apple phone and tablets, just annoyed at being tied to them and their ridiculous pricing... you do get reliability though. In short, I’m still not sure what to do.

Hi all, I’ve no doubt most of you know more about IT than me, so looking for some advice. previously I’ve had a MacBook, it’s lasted years and years and has been great. Im now looking to get a new computer. I only really need it for standard office stuff, but would like it to have some welly for amateur photography/video work (no, not redtube type stuff) I’m looking to keep it reasonably cheap, and won’t be gaming on it. Don’t mind what OS. so... 1. laptop or desktop? I’m preferring the latter due to cost, I don’t really need mobility. 2. Where to buy from? I don’t want to build something myself 3. Any top tips? roughly speaking I was thinking of getting something with a ssd, 8 or maybe 16 Ram... im sure I could go on, but don’t want to lose your interest. Thoughts welcome please. R

'99 (20 years ago!!!) we came back from 3-1 down to draw 3-3 with Blackburn. Pretty sure pahars got the equaliser. Helped keep us up and the noise at the dell turned me into a saint. So a special one to me at least. Also, last game at the Dell vs arsenal was pretty good.

His name is Rabbithutch, He’s got a masterful touch, He’s knicked Danny Ings’s crutch, To support the Saints. We hate Pompey.

I mean, there’s a lot of average out there, but still gotta feel for Bertrand. Even though he didn’t have a good season, he’s still been better than Ashley young. Even when he was quick he wasn’t that good, now his legs are shot he offers nothing.

Some surprisingly good suggestions, and advice. Thanks all. i should have mentioned the low budget, flights are out of the question. As much as I'd like to go abroad. The distillery is a great shout, but the stag is much more of an ale drinker - any good brewery tours about? Ringwood is too far away I think... Thanks for the Andover advice too, I know Salisbury a bit so may head there. Anyone know of any good bike ride routes with pubs along the way? Somewhat weather dependent I suppose.

I have best man duties to complete. I want to do a decent job, but need some inspiration. Any good ideas for this? Stupid stories etc? (We've all heard the smurf one) Were going to Thruxton for the touring car champs, but need an activity for the Saturday. Any thoughts on what to do? I can't imagine there's much going on in Andover?! Was thinking pub crawl (by foot or bike) but don't know the area well. Would really appreciate any suggestions, stupid or other. Cheers all.

Think there won't be any left. Any time for me thanks... Even 95 if nothing else! Cheers
