Hamilton Saint

Canadian usage is a bit schizoid. Spelling often follows British forms, but idiom and syntax usually follow American style. It can be very confusing. The verb suffix -ise vs. -ize is a good example. and do you "fill out" a form, or "fill in" a form?

100% The only question I had a slight hesitation with was the one involving that vs. which.

Come on, Saints. Must get three points from this one!

Is this a hope of yours, or are you providing information?

We're only 77 places above Pompey!

Our Glen Hoddle worshipper on here would start his with "exterminate!"

They could start with an emoticon - that would be a symbol, not a word.

Palace have lost 7 more than Saints. Discuss that!

Yes. The same suspects over and over. They sure do like the "sound" of their own voices.

"... I'm waiting for my man ...".

Jesus Murphy!

Predictable - we lose a couple of games and the panic sets in. And the scapegoating goes into high gear. Looking for players to blame is just a way of displacing your own lack of confidence in the team. A team's performance is never consistent. Players go through difficult periods. Take the long-term perspective. Get behind your team and support the players.

Commentator on Canada's TSN just said that Schneiderlin was "too good" for Southampton!

Yeah. Amazing that the back 7 is so settled now.

Three main choices, I suppose: 1) drip (the water is poured, or delivered, over the coffee grounds in a paper or metal filter - this is the method we use at home); 2) percolator (delivers a 'thicker', richer coffee - a friend of mine is still using the percolator his parents acquired in the 1960s, it makes a great cup of coffee); 3) French press (which my friend in Somerset uses - tasty). The drip filter method is the quickest to prepare and easiest to clean up, I think. But probably does not deliver the best tasting coffee.

If you are really ready for it, just quit cold turkey. That's what I did. The hardest thing is when you're socializing with friends - having a few drinks. You may want to avoid those situations for a while (a month or two), until you're free of the craving. Once you stop, try not to dwell on it too much. When it does pop into your mind, think good thoughts about yourself - especially about your amazing will-power! Also think about all the money you are saving. Good luck! It's easier than you think.

The thread title too complicated for you, then?

That's five.

The point is that many people on here predicted disaster before Saturday's game because Lovren was not in the team. Part of their rationale was that Hooiveld was going to be the weak link in our defence. But it didn't turn out that way, did it? So in some way, this thread serves as a mea culpa for those pre-judging the man. HTH

Right. My bad - as the kids used to sat here a few years ago!

The fellow on Saints Player says Saints will go top, if we win today. Well, not necessarily. There's this thing called goal difference. We need to win by three, I believe, to sit there. If we win by two, it will be co-leaders - but they'll put Arsenal first because of alphabetical order.

Everton have equalized.

Why do saints Player only broadcast half of the conversations? We are not hearing the voice from one of the two studios! Why are they so incompetent?

No irony there: he's not being judgmental if he's merely stating a FACT.

FACT.
