Amazing Hangover

Shut up. He'll score now.

Not normal, but not unusual.

I remember that! I had somehow missed the result and had to watch the highlights on Sky Sports News without knowing the final score. They had about 342 chances if I remember.

Three things. (1) Looking at the away fans for Coventry from their programme - 185 at Ipswich, 183 at Middlesbrough. Did it ever get that bad for Saints in the Dutch Duo/Branfoot days? (PS the Greyhound is a great pub, the locals were friendly and the RICOH deserves better than half full - hope they stay up) (2) Talking of Middlesbrough had a look at the website to see if the 14K home crowd was true (and have a bit of a gloat) and was met by a home page (or should that be homie page?) featuring a 4 yr old lad with a 'full Joey Barton' and his six year old wife showing some thigh and flashing some kind of 'Gangsta' hand signal which I don't understand. (3) Why the rush to expand the grounds? (MK Dons, Spurs etc) I suppose on the brink of a catastrophic world recession people will still need to see Bon Jovi to take their minds off things.

What is she sniffing there? It looks like a Harp (Stays Sharp to the Bottom of the Glass) bar towel. She looks classy enough. Could be Hoffmiester tho'. The dirty *****.

Hey dune, are you really Ann Coulter??? Your Avatar looks like Ann Coulter, only better dressed.

Well, this statement must be in the top ten of something or other, but it probably deserves a category all of it's own. And now I'm trying to work out what I would do if I did have more than one penis.

But his hair (and beard) are reasonable

They're not afraid of hair, are they, the Swedes?

Too right. If the owners can see that the money is big enough, then it will happen. The FA (and FIFA etc) can do sweet FA about it. Out the FA Cup? ... Fine, Players can no longer play for england?... so what, Out of the so called champions league?... well that might hurt a bit... but it would only take about three years to convince the big boys in europe to bail out too. It would also be a 'By Invatation Only' league. I can't see Wigan being in and Leeds being out. Every fan (I mean fan) in this country would hate it, but we are a (relatively) minor revenue stream. Asia is where its at. I have just read 'Feaver Pitch' again, and Nick Hornby is holding forth (rightly) against the newly formed premiership, saying the fans wont stand for it, the prices (he was complaining about £8.50 to watch Arsenal!) the stadiums will be empty etc. Well he got that wrong, and there are enough of the 'I love my Club, Screw Everything Else' brigade to make the non-relegation thing feasable. The owners will have had their minions checking this already. Basically in a dog eats dog world (or see 'Kill Your Freinds' by John Niven for a better quote! - its about music, but footballs getting there) the rich get richer and the poor..... well, the're the poor, basically. Football fans (as opposed to international consumers or customers or whatever) will have to hope that there is enough about us to organise an alternative league. There probably would be given that most Conference and League 2 teams can pull in 5-6000 on a good day. Higher up it would still be a strong competition. I like many here would hope that Saints (Club,Team and Fans) would have enough class to tell any closed shop where to go.

But we dont and never really will use the cash anyway (would we want to ?) And I seem to remember Walsall and Rochdale competing with us last year (as they should) If NA announced a certain C Tevez as our new signing on 200k a week would you cheer it? (very, very good player)

Liverpool want the lot. Nearly everything is not good enough. Were they put up to this? - (Scouse rascals, you go first - imagine if Man U had suggested this) Do we really want to be part of this?? ie fantastic season is finishing 12th. I vote they bugger off to their European/World/Galactic superleague (12 league games a season plus 234 lucrative friendlies in Dubai and Malaysia) and leave the rest of football fans who support Bury, Forest, Wolves, Huddersfield, Bradford, Hereford, Burnley, Norwich, Crewe, Birmingam, Sheff U and W, Coventry and Saints etc etc (and even you know who) to watch a really good standard of football where you have a chance of winning something. Withdrawing the big 4's (or however many it is now) money will not affect us as we are financed by football fans in the main, not Indian Sky subscribers, which is all the big boys are bothered about.

Just been on soccerbase and Richard Chaplow only weighs 8st 9lb. How can you function at that weight? Let alone play contact sport. How does he stay in contact with the earth? Get him down the pie bar.

Yes they do. We're away to one of the division favorites. Ask a bookmaker for odds on them loosing three in a row at home or saints winning 12 in a row or 6 in a row away? Bookies are good on probabilities.

Laws of probability say Leicester (a decent side) will not loose three in a row at home. And sooner or later we won't get away with having a 'mad ten minutes' like we have in the last three games. Probably score a couple though, so hopefull of 2-2. And Neil Warnock is a confirmed nob, uneless anyone was unsure of that fact - 'Brian McDermott was magnificent when he spoke to me' ..... Please. He should be his own adjective, eg 'A man was charged yesterday with setting fire to a orphanage, drowning kittens in the canal and mocking national treasure Stephen Fry in a series of increasingly hurtful twitter posts. Police descrbid the man as an 'Utter Warnock'

Some of the stuff Saints played tonight was the best I have ever seen (including when we had Shearer, MLT and Rod Wallace as the front 3)- the whole team looked fast, fit and very, very skillful. It really was like watching Brazil (the 1970 version). However this being Saints they had to hammer away at the self destruct button for 20 mins or so, but it failed to detonate fully. Could have won by more in the end. This season is going to be a long slog, but if we play like tonight (perhaps minus the mad 20) we will be there or there abouts. Jack Cork was MOTM.

Er, He's forgotten already mate.

AOC is down at the Porsche Centre at Canary Wharf as we speak, holding his dad's hand and hopping up and down excitedly. Apparently ther'e going to open up early for him.

Also now everyone thinks we have 15 mill yer average league 1 clogger is now 3 mill plus.

Re: Newcastle - Its when you start selling your best players to a club in a league below that you really have to worry. AOC (and his pikey dad) will be better off financially, but football wise I think he will repent at leisure from his position on the development squad's bench and/or treatment table.

Bad news. AOC has been advised to have his left leg amputated 3" above the knee. Arsenal have dropped their bid to 7 mill plus Perry Groves.

Being arrested in Rhyl shows a lack of class. Arrested in Monte Carlo (or even Brighton for God's sake) would keep your value up and impart a certain amount of cool. I don't know what you have to do to be actually be arrested in Rhyl. They probably have their own laws.

Great to have a real proper fanzine proposed. This time next year we'll all be cloud hosting everything (apparently) so anything in the real world is welcome. I can write occasionally if you like - what do I do? I can also sell at least three copies in Cambridge. Also how about other stuff like music, culture, etc etc. It's all linked. I'm not up to who's in which gang/politics etc these days , but the UIS used to have a welcome music bent. And some humour - we all need that. Good Luck

The Griffin was a mythical beast, half goat, half hamster. It lived in the next-door-but-one swamp to Shrek.

Right. Adkins out. He's too interlectual. We need A WEE SHOUTY FELLA. He'll sort em out. Or we could try spreading the goals about. Its either 4 or nothing
