So you'll be giving the money you had earmarked for watching something as trivial as football next season to Mr Geldof instead...? ;-)

Being the conspiracy theorist 'par excellence' that I am, I've long held what you describe above as a feasible possiblity. We have no tangible evidence that proves that Markus is the cuddly benevolent owner that is portrayed to us. I guess that just leaves blind faith as our only guardian on this journey to the promised land. You will inevitably get slated for daring to suggest such a hypothesis but I think there's one thing we ought to agree on - that both Cortese and Liebherr are doing this as an investment opportunity for profit rather than as some philantrophic hobby. IMHO of course... :-)

I believe he supports a local football club beginning with 'P'. Ergo Southampton fans don't like him.... I don't pick up 'Southern' TV either and thus my memories of him are of a semi-amusing presenter of 'How?'

Cheers Steve :-)

Because there are are two pools.... SEEDED and UNSEEDED teams. There are 15 slots in both pools for northern teams and 20 slots in both pools for southern teams. They simply divide the unseeded teams into two geographic halves and the same with the seeded teams. Thus you can get a seeded team geographically further north in the southern seeded pot than a team further south in the unseeded northern pot. Dusty Bin anyone?

Since the upgrade yesterday, the search facility doesn't appear to work when searching for words in past posts/threads. Searching for words in past thread titles only seems to work fine. Also, and I think this may be connected, when clicking on a link in pre-upgrade thread (that links back to another SWF thread) the 'linked-to' thread does not appear.... For example, search for 'monkey' using the advance forum search and you get nowt. However, search for 'monkey chicken petting zoo saintsweb' in Google and the following link pops up: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=14620&page=237. But click on that and all you get is the number of users logged on, however page 237 of the thread in the link (the Pompey Takeover Thread as it happens) does indeed exist. And that post links to another SWF thread which, again, doesn't bring up the thread. I do need to be able to search for all threads with 'monkey' in them as often as possible. Thanks :-)

Where does the monkey chicken petting zoo fit into all this? Come on someone.....dig out that infamous sketch....you know you want to.... :-)

Port Vale are classed as 'unseeded' and there are 15 slots available in the Northern unseeded section. All 15 teams in that section are further north than Port Vale.

How?

Good idea. And all women should stay at home to cook the evening meal. This needs to be as realistic a historical reconstruction as possible. :-)

Looks like they've started building works already.....

Unlike the Saints takeover epics from 2007/08 that got "corrupted" around the time of the last forum migration.... ;-) Edit: smilies entered in text form (e.g. :-) ) do not get auto-converted to the equivalent smilie picture like they used to.... quick, backout the transformation!

Good spot...."reply with quote" used to default to the advance reply mode which seems more logical to me. Not that I'm complaining of course.... :-)

I'd rather not read comments like this on the OS, either from fans or from the club. This one is from a fan at the shirt launch: It's statements like that which have a habit of coming back to haunt people....

Happy with the transformation - just one observation, the predominent white background is a bit "in your face"....the grey was much more hangover friendly (and probably kinder to the planet to boot....) :-)

For the same reason Aston Villa's back up striker started the game against the USA....?

That's what I was thinking .... Brings back happy memories :-)

Ta very much x
