Guan 2.0

I forgot the trainers. Although I have over the last 3 years, come to realise that although being away from Southampton means getting to less matches, being a (slightly) mature student amongst young girls away from home for the first time and willing to experiment has some advantages. There are a few Dads that hate me now.

Hardly. You have no idea what I managed to get out of the deal.

I was Listening to the Draw with the GF, and when It was announced, I commented that I would most likely be travelling down south on the saturday for sunday, Forgetting what date it was. She then spent 5 minutes outlining the lengths she was willing to go to convince me to stay up here. It worked. Still heading down if it's on the Saturday though, don't get why the 13th would be a problem for anyone?

It's Utaka though, so hopefully his goal bonus on top of his 80,000 a week wage will send them under.

+1. Running on the pitch is f'kin pointless, the fact that kids are the ones most up for it says it all. Probably the same people who like encourage/enjoy it are the ones that think raising and stretching your arms during the 500th rendition of 'stand up if you hate pompey' proves something to the Skates. Threaten to Ban the kid(s) and or the parents (if they actually attend the games and don't use SMS as a drop off crèche) for a year next time they do it, quiet word in the ear job should sort it.

Went to the game yesterday, and Chiquitos afterwards (which btw is an excellent place to recover from the bitter cold whilst you wait for the traffic to clear, a few other saints fans had a similar idea). Thomas was absolutely magnificent, especially in the second half, MOTM fo' sure. Thought Waigo was wasted out wide, should have been alongside Lambért for the Flick ons and knock downs, but hey ho. Antonio was dreadful and his injury didn't even win us a free kick. Talking of which, The freee kick which we scored from in excellent fashion should not have been given, but i felt we could have had a penalty in the first half. So swings and roundabouts. Best despair to joy moment for many a moon was had when their forward fluffed his feet from all of 1 yard out, superb stuff. So recommendations for the next home game are: Someone puts their arm around Morgan and encourages him to shoot, his nerves about not breaking his duck could be costly. He got into excellent positions yesterday, only to pass it to a worse placed team-mate. Waigo or Connolly alongside Lambért in a front two in an orthodox 4-4-2. Empanadas, Chimichangas (slow cooked beef) and Banana Taquitos.

Does anyone have any idea of any branches offering deals in Winchester/fair oak/chandlers ford? I get back down south on the 18th, so I'll have to work fast...

Not in Liverpool, they won't...

Same with me, although a few years before! First Game I went to we lost 2-1 to Nottingham Forest, Stone and Jean Claude darchville for them, Le Tiss last minute pen for us. Hooked on saints ever since...

Yeehah!

1-1, get in! My betting for disappointment never lets me down, even if Saints do.

Just read this back and it appears a tad antagonistic. It was meant to highlight the fact that at present, there is no definitive answer!

Same here, but more like 4-5 than 30. And spread a few months apart. I've never understood what causes an everday person to become a 'habitual' smoker. Perhaps they have a certain type of set-up in their brain chemistry. Or maybe they're just whiny ****s with no sense of responsibility who want to blame everyone apart from themselves for their pathetic addiction, and bleat on like the tobacco was the same as heroin. Oh, and for all those who are 'addicted': avoiding all smoke filled areas, the sight/smell of cigarettes, and swearing off ownership of Tobacco is not giving up. I regularly have a pack of 20 B+H in my jacket pocket, And two ciggies have gone over 3 months. When you have them on you constantly, and aren't tempted, then you are over it.

Dean Richards AND Paul Williams. Also, he may be looking for players that can perform in the Championship as well as league one, and as such the players we're after are in a position to turn down deals from their current clubs in order to get a bosman pay day from the financial big boys of the lower leagues.

So anyone who doesn't agree with your point of view is automatically a Lowe Luvvie (and not entitled to an opinion, and therefore (by the inference you make) not a true fan unlike "some posters/fans" who are the "life" of the mighty saints? Rational and Mature. Maybe some just don't like a drink driving (sorry, Barbican swilling) 'figurehead' who's failed/quit every professional team (England under Graham Taylor, Nord Ireland) since he walked out on us the first time for his 'Spiritul home' (a phrase often used by self aggrandising bull****ters apparently) of Sunderland (not the second when he fell out with that devilish Rupert character from the past, the one so evil that Lawrie Couldn't bear to keep the dirty dirty shares he had gained from the reverse takeover, and swapped it instead for lots of filthy filthy money). And before anyone asks why I 'just believe what I heard', I've had the good fortune to meet both Ted Bates and Lawrie, most notably at the 'last do at the Dell', where Ted Bates was arguably more muble, with a quiet dignity about hime' whereas lawrie seemed intent on inserting himself into as many photo ops as possible. Personally, I couldn't give a **** if Mc-money-to-me has a painting of himself hanging in the boardroom, or there's a picture of a train there. I'm much more concerned with seeing the Ted Bates Trophy back in the cabinet by the end of the day, signalling a bright new era for saints.

+ 1 I cannot fathom why anybody would want Kevin 'bottler' Keegan or Ian '****' Dowie. Or indeed Peter 'FFS' Reid'

Just coming....

TBH, if they turn under the new regime, it's not going to be on a free jolly. Privately owned. Which means if they want to come along and watch the team, they'll have paid for their tickets, and are putting money through the gates. 'Fair play' if they do.

I think you're forgetting 'Saint go Wilde'. Or rather, trying to. I know I am.

I think this is proof, if proof be needed, that the takeover saga is on the verge of extinguishing our collective sanity, and needs to be completed today.

No, we wouldn't. But we probably wouldn't lie either. We would go through the proper procedures, with our allies (all of them) keeping the public briefed on what was happening, explaining and showing fully the reasons for our presence being necessary. The Commons would vote on the decison to go to war, if this was the case. We wouldn't sex up a document, make up some bull**** about the country's leader being best buds with Osama Bin laden when they hated each other, Nick some royal prerogative powers from the Queen in order to declare war without the support of Parliament, **** off half the world, be Americas *****, railroad through measures and ignore or deride as cowardly any country that opposes us instead of at least listening to their arguments, go in under eqquiped and briefed, costing soldiers their life for the sake of The PM's hard on for Bush, make up non exsistant evidence to fit the cause, Label anybody who questioned the lies as a 'traitor to their country' and a terrorist sympathiser, then when it becomes clear that there are no WMD's/ Saddam-Bin Laden Alliances, point to the cluster**** of a warzone that is Iraq , and say, "We've brought peace to the region, that's good though innit? So stop moaning". Or you would hope not. Because they didn't know better, they called it 'civilization,' when it was part of their slavery To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace

Surely finding out you're Norwegian isn't that bad?

Always said this about him, Well meaning at first, but doesn't do enough research on areas he stakes a claim in, often ends up looking a bit stupid, and when scrutinised can get a bit *****y. He reminds me of the 'Michael Scott' Character from The American version of 'The Office'

How are Norwich getting on?

And Eating the babies as celebration for each goal Wolves scored went in was just the final straw...
