Polaroid Saint

I like the ol' "scraf around the wrist" look and rock it myself. I also know that it makes me look like I'm up for 'some bother' when I'm not - I just like the look, maan. Worse still I do understand that it can make some people want to punch me just for doing it! worst violence i experienced myself was being hit on the shoulder by a half brick on the way into the game, thrown by a visting skate thug, at my first ever derby game at the dell. I was only nine years old. hmmm, nice, not-so-glamourous-violence. I s'pose now that the youth of our nation are once again the largest sector of the unemployed and prospects of security and work are bleak, violence will be close at hand in any large gathering of disaffected disenfranchised young men. expect footy violence to get worse before it gets better...

buzz aldrin shot the 'giant leap' from the Eagle lunar landing module - out the window. then they set up a camera on a tripod. they did have remote control devices as well, by the way, not sure if they were used to trigger cams though. no cameras outside on the eagle, although other space traversing craft did (including the earlier lunar obitors from the apollo programme) - they were protected much like the astronauts visors were/are. hope this helps answer those particular questions. I have no further comment on Coppell as DoF. I'd be happy to see him in that role, but agree with Cortese to judge that although it is important in the long run, it is not vital right now. Get the basics sorted first with a good coaching team and progress to more sophisticated set up when ready... ...softly softly catchy monkey, as they say.

Read all the arguments on here and agree with all of the positives about SMS in principle. Doesn't change the fact that, to me personally, it is one of the least enjoyable football grounds I have ever been a spectator at (in the UK at least). Mainly down to the soulless nature of the construction, layout, design and décor. Which allows sh!thead supposed Saints fans to intimidate and cagoule their fellow fans. NO positivity emanates from what is - essentially - an already scabbing, rusting shell. I - for one - would rather we still had the Dell and lower capacity. FFS - I even see picturs of Craven Cottage and NotArf Krap (!) and think - "ooh a REAL stadium". They might be small with "inadequate toilet facilities" but the are proper venues for Football. Guess I'm just old-school and into aesthetics more than the average football fan (!?!) but I am not wowed by St.Marys, despite it's advantage of a 'larger gate'.

Just wasted my five minute break trawling through this fred; no insight just loads of daft puns. Thanks a lot, you bunch of nits. oh bugger

YES. From day one. The Primary Reason I no longer go. SMS has a horrible AtmosFear (see what I did there). 'Tis Ruled by The Yoof and The Stewarts. Hate it. Next question.

Certainly is. Would work out at 24 points for the season. (a grand total of 14 points with the deduction) Of course, that really isn't (pray god) gonna happen. Long way to go yet. But not looking too pretty right now I'll grant yer. IF (capitalised IF) we win the next two games that would average at 36 points (26) still relegated. If we achieve the fabled 'three wins in a row' and win the next three league games? (11 points from 7 games) then the average looks pretty decent: 75pts (65) surely a playoff push (?) So, a bit early to talk about our form methinks.

I disagree. (ohh, Trotts out - DECLARED 373-9) sorry, I digress. Now I disagree. Pards has had to build late, once the season has started, the whole team needs a bit more time. And - as an armchair fan - we are sounding A LOT BETTER than last year. 44 games to go...

Not a very nice analogy mUrph... ...but so so apt.

hurrumpf! Hey, we are still building the team I guess. lots of new faces to gel. et-bloody-cetera. Back to Test Match Special as they are currently discussing Lady and The Tramp. Obviously.

...hand ball!?!?!?! another corner. omg come on saints

ooooooh! aaaaah! Come on Saints. Corner...

We are currently still bottom as well. According to the live table. As useful as that is right now. What a palaver! I salute the 17000 saints fans at SMS. Braver than I, each and everyone of them.

I quite agree. It ruined me a long time ago.

Saints a goal up, and troot gets his test ton! As the aussies keep saying "a century on the 'bu!" ooooh. tense but lovely sport today. I am NOT getting any work done. oh no, none whatsoever. I care not. Saints Hold On!

hARDING sCORES!

Nice one Thropey. Sneaky little button thingy on top left does the trick - why could I not see that meself? Probably cos I'm listening to the cricket (brilliant stuff) and trying to work all at the same time! Trotman heads over, Kelvin saves brilliantly from the counter attack...

sound advice, the ol' 'hide in a bush' tactic. useful in many a situation in the modern world and, as Pilchards points out, a mobile bush or shrubbery is a good bit of kit for any subburban warrior to have handy. at least the OB didn't simply knock him to the ground or 'show him some stairs'.

Okay. So I got a paypal message just now saying it hasn't gone through. account is fine, plenty of funds, correct cards etc. Do I just wait - will it automatically try again? Yours, confused of netland.

Good point; well made!

No to drums, yes to flares. Corduroy or otherwise. Having said that; I could bring my 303 and a small PA and I'm sure I could produce some rather spcial beats. ;-) Block 5 - I think that you'll find that 'language' (verbal constructs to comunication) has existed since before mankinds ability to construct a drum, just a small point!?!? :-)

I remember her from school; I sat on the same table as her in Miss Hodginess's class.

A sad day, will we see his like again? A truely valiant servent of the game and a proper old school gentlemen, RIP Sir Bobby.

And the Moon is not a planet, FFS! Although you are of course correct to point out it was named after a Saints player. Otherwise, excellent post FF, raised a smile and got the grey matter working. that is all, carry on.

lovely stuff. nice one trousers mate, and supporting cast. good work all, and thank you! shame bout result though chaps n chapeses init eh!?

if we play well and win 3-0 every week then perhaps only 4500 fans should turn up! ;-)
