trousers

Another 'SFC' would be born out of the ashes and you'd be able to support them from the grass roots upwards. It would still be the same club in spirit - why desert 'Southampton Football Club' if/when it's re-born?

Indeed. They did the same with Skacel for the first couple of months of the season.....one or two passing mentions about him buried within other articles....not a dickie bird as to why he was being left out (whilst other 'unavailable' players were being written about)....and then...BANG...in the squad every match thereafter, his previous absence seemingly being swept under the carpet. It does indeed give the impression that they are starting to be as incommunicado with Euell as they were with Skacel.... Just an observation. That's all

The FA are never wrong. Fact.

The same reason why people 'bother' to create new threads about it.

I'm thinking of parking on your driveway for the next home game. How much do you charge for letting me out after the game?

To be fair, I did caveat my original post with (paraphrase) "This could be Trousers being a tw*t"

Would you want to serve Master Bates without a barrier between you?

Can't we terminate 'unsatisfactory' loan arrangements early?

10th IMHO of course

Might be me reading too much into a quote (for once)....but when Poortvliet says: "We are very satisfied with many of our loan players and we hope that they will stay here," isn't he implying that he's not satisfied with all of them? I wonder which ones he's not "very satisfied" with? http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/?page_id=11023

Did any of the sales guys give you a slap for asking to see their Trousers?

"Goodbye. It's been nice knowing you" ?

Apologies....the bit about working in the Skoda garage was a lie. Just me trying to be highly amusing in trying to convince Mr Bates that I was closer to SMS than he was....I need to dig out that tongue-in-cheek smiley me thinks!

Seems a bit cheap to me (not taking into account the economic down turn - was it £300k or thereabouts in previous years when the economy was 'ok' ?)

He didn't say he wasn't.....you can have a blue coat and sticky out ears in addition to jiggly breasts.....

Tradesmen I've used through the site below are usually reliable. It works a bit like EBAY...you put up a job and up to 3 tradesmen get back to you with quotes, or to arrange a site visit, and then you rate them at the end of the job so that people can see what they're like. www.ratedpeople.com

I work at the Skoda garage across the road....so you were half right about the mobility scooter....

Close. It's Tom Osser

Ah...ok...didn't realise. In that case, cue a Trousers U-turn....Man Ure youth team here we come! They appear to be as slow at updating their OS as a certain other club I could mention....

(also forgot smilie thing)

Done...I'm just off down there now....should beat him to it....

I'd better get down there with my forged Master Bates ID before 12:20 then.....
