Worst match day thread since records began (official)

Not commenting on something one doesn't have a clue about? Welcome to the SaintsWeb Forum where such behaviour is actively encouraged... I am however an expert on raw nerves and jumping to conclusions so do let me know if you need any advice on that score....

Yes - they haven't bought out the current beer contract.....

I've just been on the streets of London for two hours asking 100 people this very question and 73 said Boxing Day is always on 26th December this year. So 27 were right. 99 my arse

Mr A Ferguson Sir Matt Busby Way Old Trafford Manchester M16 0RA Dear Mr Ferguson....

Were they post-dated 27th May and caught up in the self-defeating postal worker's strike...?

So, season ticket holders are deemed more worthy fans than those who put in more money to the club over the course of the season on a pay-as-you-watch basis...? Just joshing, obviously....

Indeed. Why oh why wait for the 2nd 600 to arrive before offering them for sale? There's no consumer law that prevents you taking money for a product that's 'not in stock'. Surely the extra 600 are 'guaranteed' the minute the order for them was placed rather than the moment at which they arrive at their destination?

Why couldn't they take bookings for the 600 '2nd tranche' tickets before they arrived at SMS? It's not as if there was any risk in Leeds not sending them down once SFC had placed the order for more. That way they would have got to know whether needing a third tranche was looking likely much quicker. No?

In terms of your interpretation or are you saying you've never looked up the definition in the OED (or equivalent)?

The existence of Boxing Day pre-dated the invention of Bank Holidays. Bank holidays simply hijacked the day so it's a red herring to keep using Bank Holidays as a justification for changing the historic and correct definition of Boxing Day. FFS

Ordinarily I would say rest 'key' players for this game but looking at the fixture list this would mean some players going 11 days without a game i.e. Dec 28th (Boxing Day) to Jan 9th. So, whilst sticking by the principle that we should concentrate 100% on the league until it's mathematically impossible to reach the play-offs, I would put out a strong team for this game so that players retain match fitness.

Even the OS have got Boxing Day wrong

How does this compare to the financial gain for promotion this season?

Welcome to the entertainment industry

Concentrate on the league

That's what my wife thinks about football message boards...Do you come here often...? ;-)

In the words of Alan Partridge: "DAN!!!!"

Someone should be educating them about the positive effect of closing the gap on our rivals higher up the table

good point, well made

We don't want Swindon to win! FFS :-)

Not true. We're well into the second half now...

I have a spare slot next Tuesday if that fits in?
