the saint in winchester

Sorry, I feinted after reading that Lawro predicted us to win a game! As he is always wrong, his tip for us to win is bad news to me.

Yeah, it's offers over £8.3M. If the offer is above that, then Atletico will make money. Our option is to offer within £1.5M of any other offer. Then there is the wages issue. If Citeh offer him £80k a week, can we match that? Starting to look harder for us to win this battle.

LOL. He'll get on, I'm sure of that. Brenda may be a numpty, but he'll give the man 5 minutes at the end at least to receive his reception. And Rickie will make a point of saying goodbye properly. Who knows, he may even drag Lalla with him saying "come with me, plonker, you can share in the adulation."

Thanks for remeinding me I need to get the wedding video onto DVD! Places in the High Street do it. The one I just spoke to said £15 for the first hour, £5 extra for any hour or part-hour after that.

Oooh. Katy Perry - not bad; Julianna Marguiles - mamma mia, she has gone from dowdy in ER to stunner in The Good Wife. Coxford_Lou, you know I'm a fan anyway.

Cool. Count me in for this trip.

Agree he is unlikely to be in a position to add value until April at least. Would be great to hear he is playing some competitive games for the U21s before then, but after a year out, I see him as a player for next season.

Yeah, interesting especially the comments about wanting to manage in England one day, and naming Vilhena as one to watch.

Not sure about that line "starting to scare big teams". Appreciate English not his primary language - maybe "starting to gain the respect of big teams" would be better. We don't scare anyone, just that other teams seeing getting a point against us now as a good result. Two seasons ago, anything less than a win against us was seen as "dropping points". We have gained their respect, and that's a good place to be.

Hell yes. I immediately googled and saw a pic - married to Daniel Craig eh? The pic I saw was better than Halo's which looks like she is trying to blow a bubble in her bubble gum! Now Pap and his ilk have carried out "due diligence" on you, I'm sure a lot more of us will be up for meeting with you next time. But now I have a mental image of you. I have odd mental images of a lot of posters on here which would likely be way off beam to their real image.

These compliments about Yoshi will have our Japanese poster Yuki salivating with delight. Yes, he has really proved himself this season, after some suggesting we didn't need him any more. We do, he is class.

Yes, that was a particularly tedious thread. Surely something he could sort out privately rather than involving us all in his house-hunting. So, Lou, if you won't post a pic, at least name a celebrity you have a passing ressemblance to. We're all hoping for Meg Ryan, but if it's Susan Boyle, we can cope with that. The reality we can cope with, the mystery is unbearable.

My mother always said "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" - or was that Bambi's mum? So my comment is ......... (silence)

That bit i agree with. The downside of being a Top 4 side is that other clubs now see getting a point at/against Saints as something to be celebrated. We are going to have to find a way of getting past stubborn defences. We don't look like we can now, so hope they have the chalkboard out at their secret location. Preferably not some of Van Gaal's diagrams though.

I was withholding the address from this board in case he doesn't appreciate people spying.

He didn't. He cleans the windows at the house, but the owners said they were renting it out so contact the tenants to agree approval to clean in future today. Not knowing who was moving on, he called today and had the shock of his life when Elijero Elia opened the door. Even better is he asked for a clean once a month (owners were on 10 week cycle!)

Elia is at home today! My son just cleaned his windows! Called me to say "you'll never guess who has moved into (house name withheld)?" I did guess ... eventually.

I wasn't planning to go to the games, bit of a rush after work for evening games ... but if Coxford Lou is still attending, it would be good to put a face to the name.

Hope that doesn't mean his head is already in Liverpool, and he'll be signing for them within a year.

This is a very sad case, more serious than I was aware of. Agree with SOG, he needs help now. Such an intelligent and articulate guy, yet so ill.

Exactly, nothing new. This was linked, by me, yesterday in 'So that's the secret of his success...' - mayonnaise on his chips!

I'm told he's the Serbian Philippe Coutinho.

Hallelujah, brother. Totally agree. I tried to curb my middle lane driving when the new law came in, but I was forever indicating, going into middle lane, overtaking then indicating and going back to first lane - every 10 seconds! If the slow drivers want to take the 1st lane, let me take the middle and the fast lane can be left for the idiots who want to drive at 90mph and who flash their lights from 100 metres back if you go in their lane!

Worse than Tommy Forecast?
