  1. Quite. It's just an attention seeing load of old BS from one of the original trolling cockends
  2. It's been a few years since big Les has played a game but I agree he can't be much worse than Clasie
  3. I mean the dodgy backstreet knock off shop in Penang that made it took a red and white striped shirt, saw the sponsor, and sowed a Sheffield Wednesday badge on it :-). They did indeed play in blue and white. Those were the days, both Sheffield Clubs in the Prem etc.
  4. I think so - it's the season of Dellhurst Park and Pahars dragging us out of the crap. 2-0 against somebody to stay up wasn't it? I was in Penang in Malaysia and listened to the last 10 minutes over a mobile phone when my mum rang me from the Dell. Cracked open a beer at 4am or whatever it was to celebrate . Malaysian TV made a big deal about us taking 12k to Wimbledon on the highlight show the day before and I felt it felt inevitable that we would win on the final day. Sheffield Wednesday had to win or draw for us to stay up as well didn't they? I'd found a red and white striped saints shirt in the market that day with a Wednesday badge (as we were both sponsored by Sanderson) so I bought it (for 50p) as a good luck charm
  5. I was there, and I'm in the video (grabbing Egil as he runs past for the 3rd goal). As I've posted on here before, sold my shirt to Claus in the queue to New York New York so his mate could get in, then bought somebody elses and ended up partying the night away with the players + other hangers on. Was an epic epic day. Made the 3-1 grey shirts one as well, watched the 1-0 in London as I'd moved there and was the only Saints fan in the pub. Was awesome

  8. Same plane :-). Feels like the bus from the station to St Marys :-)
  9. we were all 12 once
  10. indeed it is. most of our money comes from trading as a part of the single market. in fact a very large % comes from London financial services. if we lose access to that market, and in particular access to passporting for clearing houses then we won't have the money to share out for the farmers, nhs etc... as per my previous post, this needs to be well negotiated. as somebody who has built a number of multi-million £ businesses from scratch one of my frustrations with people is assuming "they" can fix it and "we" can spend that money, not understanding the personal effort and numerous small things that are important to success. ironically I'm now saying that "they" can negotiate it. i'd offer my services but I'm too busy getting fat and playing golf. cockend
  11. Have you worked in Italy and France? I have - this is a classic fallacy of the small minded "we're better than everybody else" little Englander. The French work a very different shift from the UK - get in late, have a long lunch, but where I worked the working day didn't really finish until 8pm. Italy (Milan - Gucci) was also a place where everybody worked very very hard, and their industrial output is testament to that (reason they have the biggest shipyards in Europe perchance). Both economies have structural problems - France in particular has terrible labour laws that as a business owner made it very difficult to hire and fire, and also is very protectionist (so ironically we will become more like them). As productivity is a measure based on currency and hours worked, the tanking of the £ means our productivity will go down I'd suggest. I'm finding this thread very very amusing and tragic to be honest. The hard leavers desperation to say that everything will be fine, when even the leave camp during the referendum said there would be an economic shock is amusing. Face it, there are a few years of hardship for the poor on the horizon, especially if we leave the single market, as world markets assume open trade to be a good thing. Ditto, the hard remainers desperation to see the UK fail is pretty sad. I was a remainer and my big worry was for the kids future in a closed off, increasingly illiberal UK (well England & Wales as I suspect the Scots are off) - but surely we all want to live in a successful economy? Best thing for us now is to remove anybody making emotional bull**** arguments (Davis, Fox, Tusk, Hollande) from the negotiations, bung it to the boring people, and let them thrash out the compromise. Saddest thing overall is the failure of the political class in all of this, but then what do they ever bring to a country. They are all a bunch of jumped up student debating society, local council, never had a job arseholes who don't understand what it takes to add value (jobs, money, taxes) to a country other than from reading it in books. ******s
  12. Most shots by ANY team this season in the EPL. Great 2nd half. Redmond had a great gane as did McQueen for his PL debut. Felt for J-Rod with that chance at the end. COYR
  13. Hamstring. That'll be 6 weeks of Matty Target then
  14. good, we need to get on with doing just that to have some certainty
  15. Not to have a go at JWP but I couldn't help thinking his chance near the end was almost exactly the same as Hesketh's chance he took against Palace. Still would have taken a point at 2.15 and 6 clean sheets is brilliant, keep that up and we'll be in Europe again

    Never go for a drink with Craig David on a Tuesday unless you have a free calendar and an open mind. (He did distance himself a bit from us when we dropped into League One, saying he also supported Arsenal or something like that - like about 40 other people I know to be fair)
  17. No joke Dalek, this team reminds me of how Hoddle's Saints played football - tight at the back and go for a 1-0. Maybe we have the French Hoddle, both played at Monaco as well.
  18. I know exactly why they voted leave - I'm from Totton originally and remember how the value system in areas like Totton places more kudos on being "cool" than "intelligent", is belligerent and quick to fight, and is also ultimately easy to manipulate with bad facts and scary headlines. I'm also aware that globalisation benefits the world by dragging the global underclass out of poverty and into the working class (which ultimately gets them paying taxes to maintain the culture, and to become consumers for the ruling manufacturing class) but it screws over the working class of countries like the UK by dragging those guys closer to the global underclass as they get dragged toward Western standards of living. So things feel worse for those people, and they vote against it. IMHO... As a remainer however, I have to say I thought Liam Fox's speech yesterday about being a standard bearer for global free trade was the first decent optimist thing I'd heard from what was a fairly nasty side of the campaign. and we are leaving, so lets get on with it.
  19. Damn right, and when we repeal all the human rights legislation I'm going to exploit the plebs to **** in my sweatshop. Bring it on
  20. Carlton Pogba - love it
  21. It was until we said we're leaving anyway - we are a godsend to the Federalist nutters
  22. Exactly, my grandad fought in the BEF and then through the Middle and Far Easts to ensure good old British Fascism had a chance against that foreign Fascism rubbish. As Brexit is all about Freedom, I think we should be free to have as many passports as we like - as long as we are paying our UK taxes what's the problem (and what's the problem with my Grand Cayman passport exactly)

  24. My mates son who is brickying at Austin's on a development in Newbury says he was a **** bricky As long as he keeps scoring and doesn't harm team morale, he's alright .
  25. and the Tyro league playing at Millbrook
