Sol Campbell?

When? He was a free agent at the end of the season (I think), but definitely signed a new deal with Burnley. Is mates with Howe too...

Libellous.

Anyone else heard the rumours that Cortese has been employing actors to stand in the queue, just to put people off queuing to get a Season Ticket?

I thought he only signed a 1 yr extension last year (although I think this was an automatic clause that Reading invoked anyway). So he should be a free agent, albeit with a development fee, unless he's since signed a longer deal? Seems unlikely as I don't think he even started a game last year? Just checked on Soccerbase and he made 24 appearances last year, and scored 1 goal. Not sure how many starts though, but has only ever made 4 starts in total in Lge and Cup. Not sure whether he'd be worth a punt, or we should be looking a tad higher now. I suspect the latter...

No. Because typing is quicker and we are all becoming lazy feckers. Mark my words, in years to come, those talking apes will find no evidence of human writing and think we are all savages - I saw a documentary about it...

Hmmmm. Well. Not great I'd say. OK for what it is, went to quite a few places. Went to Sailors which I thought was awful, like Martines used to be in Eastleigh only bigger. Roof terrace was good though. Various sh!te bars around the place and one decent place called Red Square that was banging out D'n'B on Sat night. During the day the Great Western Hotel was a great place to sit and have some beers, a fantastic view of the cliffs. All in all though a bit of a sh!thole, but as a Stag destination not bad. Wouldn't f*cking camp again though, that was a bad idea - zero kip.

Obviously this has been debated to death and yes, I was unimpressed with a couple of Nige's signings last year. However, Lallana and Lambert have signed new deals and AOC stayed in January and may still be here at the start of the season. If he was that bad, they all would have been off like a shot... Also, I know there's f*ck all news at the moment, but this really should be debated when the transfer window closes...don't you think?

Lol. Should the law only operate around the footy season?!

Heading down to Newquay this w/end for a Stag Do. Any recommendations on anywhere decent to go? Found a link for a club called Full Moon, anyone know if it's any good?

I didn't! That's the final straw, I'm not renewing.

Again. I really can't see the problem here. Why is someone moaning about having to take a passport down there? Jesus. To get a concession you have to prove you are entitled to it. I'm glad they've brought back the Student discount, as I'm in the last few months of Masters. But to get this concession, I fully expect to go down to the TO and show them the proof that I am entitled to it.. As someone above has said, again the club look like they are trying to crack down on people buying teen tickets etc, when they are not entitled to it. What's wrong with that? Should the club just have these concessions and then just say, 'well f*ck it, if someone has the balls to do it - just let them'. To be fair, I always think fair play if people can get in on the sly - but, I'm sure the club don't share that view! It's an f*cking business. To them, it's stealing - simple as.

Seriously? Why should that matter to a player?! I am continually amazed by this forum, I really am.

I'm actually impressed with the artistic nature of that, I'm going to try and find a pic of Le Tiss scoring the last goal at the Dell and give it the same treatment in Photoshop...I mean MS Paint!

Just knocked this up on MS Paint..

Everyone in tha scene, blud.

Start off at Pop, then go to Junk. They play all that stuff in there, might have to ask the Dj for a specific request...

Lol. Indeed. Actually, the band sued this lot in the 2000's and got them to change their name. Everyone still knows them as this mind you...

This would get people up for the game:

If there's no-one there at the moment, then it would have to take an existing ST holder to move there anyway. I'm sure it'll be available, it'd have to be pretty unlucky not to be. Otherwise, as said before all 3 of you can move. It's pretty easy.. What's the problem with some people moaning all the time about every little thing. Contact Cortese? Are you having a f*cking laugh? I'm sure he's got better things to think about than every single fans individual seating requirements. F*ck me.

This is wrong. As stated earlier in this thread, my old man is a Headteacher in Southampton. He has complete jurisdiction as to when these go ahead...

My old man is a Headmaster and he always makes sure these are tagged on the end or before holidays. Better for everyone... But, that is a ridiculous statement to make about training. So, you think a teacher who starts at 22/3 should have no extra training til they retire at 65?! What about teachers these days, none would have a f*cking clue how to use IT, something that has fundamentally changed the way education is delivered. What about changes in syllabus? I'm not a teacher, but f*ck me, that's a stupid thing to say...

I'm not defending him, as he was terrible at the time. We lost the attacking flair we had under Nicholl, played awful football and lost some very good players. However, we were lucky enough to survive and recover. We have sunk far lower in the last 5 years than Branfoot ever took us...unfortunately, he's been completely overshadowed by two relegations.

Good shouts, I'll stick them in..

Following on from the 'flop' thread, it got me thinking about Branfoot's transfer business. Trying to get together a list of all his Ins and Outs - Yes, I'm bored and having a trip down memory lane! Does anyone remember anymore? Also, correct me on any I've put. It seems so long ago now, my memory tends to blend some Nicholl/Branfoot/Ball transfers! Ins Dave Beasant Dowie Speedie Dixon Paul Moody Stuart Gray Terry Hurlock Steve Wood David Lee Ken Monkou Paul Allen Peter Reid Perry Groves Simon Charlton Outs Case! Shearer Flowers Ruddock Horne I found this link, during some investigation. Will bring back memories for some. Never knew Taylor was tipped to replace him: http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-taylor-enters-frame-as-branfoot-bows-to-fans-pressure-exengland-manager-may-be-saint-1399584.html
