  1. Losing all engines isn't nescessarily a death sentence in a commercial airliners. Air Transat 236 managed to glide for 30 minutes before making a safe landing in the Azores after running out of fuel. There was also a KLM aircraft which flew through a volcanic cloud in Alaska. Again all the engines failed, but they managed to restart and land safely in Anchorage.
  2. Happy with that. A lot of people were scared of Charlton, but they cam here and were complete garbage. We also have a pretty good record against Norwich at home. 4-3 1-0 2-1 0-1 (but we absolutely battered them and missed a pen) 2-0 In the last five years. We also beat them 2-0 on our way to the FA Cup final. Anders and Tessem got the goals.
  3. McQ missed one at QPR in our first CCC season. That was the first one we'd missed since Mazza's miss in an FA Cup shoot out. I'm not sure when this shootout was, I just remember is was quite a while and in that time Beattie, Matty and Pahars had all maintained a 100% success rate. Vignal and Kenwyne had a 100% success rate for us later on down the line. Other misses include: - Stern John at home to Norwich (absolutely dreadful, if the goal was twice as high, it wouldn't have gone in) - Euell at home to Blackpool, same season - Rasiak in the Cup against... some lower league team, can't remember who. The rebound was also saved, but he knocked it in 3rd time round - Those two we missed against Watford last year. - Surman scored one and missed one at Donny last year.
  4. I really can't think of that many crap 'keepers. I'm tempted to say Forecast, but I can't recall him ever making a first team appearance other than pre-season friendlies. Some people say Alan Blayney, but my overriding memory of him is making the Premier League's 'save of the season' against Alan Shearer.
  5. In goal - Woods Defenders - Powell, Potter, Todd, Bernard, Jackobsson, Makin, Lancashire, Molyneux, Davenport, O'Halloran Midfield - McCann, Bleidelis, Pulis, Arias, Sarmiento, Chala, Ripley Up front - Moody, Dia, Rosler, Dixon, Speedie, Pericard, Robertson, Pekhart, Euell, Maskell
  6. You guys are all forgetting Darren Powell. There are few issues this board has been in union over, but his complete lack of footballing ability is one of them.
  7. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC4ylYpUHRw Second to none.
  8. In terms of years of service, I think Gillett would probably edge those two. Including goalies, Bart is our longest servant.
  9. It's also the Steve McLaren who managed to finish behind Croatia and Russia in the qualifying group and couldn't even get a draw at home to the Croats to save his own arse.
  10. Done 4 away games so far this season. Personal best already, I did 2 last season and 3 the year before. That's living abroad for you. Done Swindon, Brizzle Rovers, Saaaaaaaaaaaaafend and Oldham. Should get to Leeds in December.
  11. Whenever I get hold of someone else's laptop, I usually end up setting tubgirl as the background. On a completely unrelated note, I haven't been allowed in my grandma's house since 2003.
  12. Personally I just don't care about the match. I can get excited about these overpaid egotistical halfwits when national pride is at stake in a major competition, but in pointless friendlies I can't.

    Barts in goal!

    Forecast, obviously.
  14. Ah forgot Hammond. And Lallana We don't need Wright for the team, just so we have something to argue about. All the first team players are top quality and there on merit. We have a stable board with the finances to back the team and the patience to let things happen. I've never been this bored. alpine has a Mr Happy avatar, that's how desperate things have gotten. Can we at least bring Lowe back as a tea lady or something?

    Barts in goal!

    Personally I'd prefer to reward the good performances and play him in the JPT as long as he's playing well. If we were to make it to the final, it would be in part to his performance in goal and he would thoroughly deserve his place in the final team. Same with Davis if we made the playoff final or when we play Chelsea in the FA Cup final.
  16. I'd rather spend the £1.5m on Antonio and give him an 11 year contract TBF.
  17. I would say Saints have claim to the fittest WAG ever (and I include Cheryl Cole in that). Step forward Anine Bing (Anders Svensson's bird when he was here). Easily as fit, but without the tatoos/X-factor/douchebag husband. That was the best picture I found SFW. Back to the OP, let's hope he is better than SWP's brother and George Weah's cousin.
  18. Compared to last year. Bugger all from James, Schneiderlin, Wotton, Gillett. And no more than 2 each for the rest, except for Surman, Saga, BWP and DMG.
  19. Didn't harding get one from a set piece in about the second game?
  20. Absolute class. Nuff said. It's getting boring now having all these top quality players playing so well. Davis - class Harding - class Trottman - class Jaidi - class Lambert - class Connelly - class Antonio - class Even Wayne Thomas and Bart are getting in on the action. It's boring I tells ye'. Bring back Jermaine Wright.
  21. Do do do do Be - al - koff - ski
  22. Yes, although you can't blame Thomas for that. Kudos to our board though. Whittling down the transfer fee to only four times what he was actually worth.

    Barts in goal!

    I feel really sorry for him... stood in the freezing rain with bugger all to do. In all seriousness, on the rare occasions he was troubled he was unflappable and made a couple of decent saves. Nothing he could really have done for their goal and your could have staged a drag race between an aircraft carrier and a Zeppelin in the 'offside space' in the build up.
  24. He's got a fair bit of stick over the years, but I've always been a big fan. He has also had the raw end of the deal being brought into the worst Saints squad since man landed on the moon. He was originally played under Burley, who thinks defence is something at the side of an Italian's garden. His partners have included such greats as Oliver Lancashire and Darren Powell. Darren Powell... Christ on a bike he was awful. I mean seriously... agh, that's gonna give me nightmares. Great to see Thomas score and a solid overall game.
  25. Anyone who hates "Jedward" seriously needs a life. Yes they are crap singers with stupid hair, but it's just a f**king TV tallent show. I laugh my arse off every Sunday night when they get through and suddenly I have 50 outraged status updates on my Facebook homepage. And yes, Jordan is a stupid tallentless moose with a boob job. I often wonder if people really actually give a sh*t about her private life, or they are just told to by Heat magazine and want to conform with their friends. Peter Andre is scarcely any better IMO. Days after his split I was met by his stupid mug telling me to read his exclusive story in the Dailly F**k knows what.
