Racing driver actually, a couple of Grands Prix to his name (Ensign 1980), became a tv presenter when he gave up his preferred career. Usually referred to as "Stiff Needle"

Can't believe Paulton stuffed Chippenham 3-0, maybe we can get Bath instead.

Now we have AP, Downs and Wilkins things have really come together.

MotM, lose next game. FACT

NOoooooooooo, not the kiss of death

I know worrying that she thought MK Dons were 2nd.

Blimey its not even christmas yet

In that case probably not a good idea Doddsy getting Lancashire in

You might be better thinking of an open question. If he replied NO to your one and only question, you wouldn't have discovered much.

He went to Sheff Utd

I really think we must avoid using initials for Ricky, I nearly crapped myself when I read that :confused:

Quite pathetic that we still have neanderthals on this thread arguing that such behaviour is acceptable. Try reading the update about Big Ron, puts this pathetic stuff into some perspective.

Tim, my condolences to Ron, a true Saints legend and an inspiration for me when I was a nipper at The Dell. Would love to see Big Ron at SMS one day.

Disagree about Poke. Much more likely to be a long term replacement for Davis than Bart, and now has considerably more 1st team experience than Bart as well, albeit at a lower level. Poke is actually a very good keeper, and some more experience playing in L2 will be very useful.

Just wondering if it is some kind of record for a club to have 3 ex-Saints managers on their list of 3 managers favourite to take the job (and none of them the current manager) - WGS, NP and Souness. No mention in the BBC article that any of the 3 are ex-Saints. God, we're good at supplying the League with experienced managers http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/middlesbrough/8318553.stm

Fabrice Fernandes now has a new career generating electricty in a wind farm in France Actually he is surprisingly listed as a former professional footballer, having been released by Dinamo Bucharest, currently on the books of Le Havre but has not yet made an appearance. For a player who has not even reached his 30th birthday yet his descent down the slippery slope since his days under WGS are quite spectacular.

Not at all. I think in the past when we were strapped for cash it was important, but its just a number. When we get just over 20000, someone will say, Wanted 1000 fans so we can get over 21000. Don't get me wrong I prefer it when the ground is full or nearly so, but wanting an extra 1000 fans seems a bit odd to me. What we actually need is about another 13000 so the ground is really rocking. Anyway we could easily get another 1000 by giving tickets to kids, or kids for a quid promotions, but quite honestly while I want more kids to come to games, it does bugger all to make the atmosphere better having a load of little nippers running round knowing next to nothing about what is going on with their Manure, Arse, Chelski or Scouse shirts on under their coats If we continue to be successful the crowds will return, I would think 24/25k would be achievable in this division if we are winning regularly or at least playing good exciting football.

1987.

Actually Pop Larkin was right... Saints off the bottom, Pompey lose, Torquay out of the bottom 2, now all that is needed is a good grid position for JB and Saturday will be good...

Not to mention runners-up in the League Cup to a certain Mr Clough

A Brighton goal now would be nice

Connolly scores, bugger thats my Predictioin screwed

Hoping it stays as is cos I still have it as 2-1 to us

Yep, we know we heard it on SaintsPlayer

A licence fee and a fee to listen to it on the interweb
