  1. KWP could take 2 with Cedric gone, Bertrand could take 3 now that Yoshida isn’t here. Salisu 6 you would think.
  2. Feel sorry for them if they’re having to do exercise out in this heat.
  3. Very good post.
  4. I’m always fairly bemused at how British (English) people think that they have a natural right to this island. We have mostly always been an immigrant race. I’m not even sure what you would call indigenous English. But yeah, foreigners = bad.
  5. I used to stick up for the Echo; local paper, local people that work for it, an old institution, used to bring a decent bit of inside information to us all. And, perhaps going back 5-10 years, I used to think there was a place for a print copy local paper, at least for those (mostly of the elderly generation) who hadn’t quite grasped the nettle of online media. Those days have rapidly passed and, sadly, the local paper has seen a rapid decline. A shame. I remember the old days of, after the game, trying to get a copy of the Pink as soon as you could. Time moves on, I guess. #wipestearfromeye
  6. Wow 🤣 Lets get those dinghies and RIBs sunk, just in case.
  7. Quite right too. The notion of a massively stretched and under-funded naval force being enabled to try and prevent a minority of desperate souls trying to reach these shores is utterly absurd. Anyone who thinks the MoD has got reasonable bandwidth to pursue this and do it effectively needs to give their head a wobble.
  8. At least someone has eclipsed MLG in the fucking weird stakes.
  9. Yes, you’ve done this one too. The simple answer i would give is ‘none’.
  10. Yes, I know you believe this to be true. It’s kind of my point.
  11. I have to say, well done all, this has been cracking reading 🤣 Especially you, MLG. Hats off to you for biting every single time you’re baited, and for answering more questions with questions than I’ve perhaps ever seen before. Jesus loves you.
  12. St Mary’s was also used in its early days for Reserve games, I think from memory we got just over 10K for a game against either Arsenal or Spurs. Some happy memories from some of those games. Carlton Cole getting a hat trick against us for Chelsea. Federico ‘the torpedo’ Arias playing on trial and proving he had the least apt nickname going. Heady days indeed. The reserve league was decent though. I guess the fact that match day squads these days have 18 in them, and the days of only using 15 or so players in a whole season are long gone, mean that there’s not as much scope for a reserve league. And modern science, training method and perhaps players own attitude to health and fitness means it’s a little less important for them to get a regular 90 minutes running in their legs.
  13. The main Saints page is zipping along now for me, but I can’t get on the Lounge. As it seems the last post there was 16 hours ago I guess it’s a common problem. To the concerned posts about all this, I’d just say have a bit of patience and maybe give Steve Grant a bit of a break, while it’s a minor inconvenience I’m sure he’s working hard to resolve it. I use another football site that Steve administers that switched to this format of forum about a month before we did, and it is now really slick. There were teething troubles initially on that one for a week or two but after that it’s been grand, so hoping for the same here. Personally I much prefer this format to the old one, I thought tapatalk was crap. This one displays better on all devices. Keep the faith; and it’s not as if there’s much footy to talk about right now anyway!

    20/21 Kit

    Don't mind that kit. The sponsor is clearly awful, mind. But at least the colour scheme is in keeping with the rest of the kit. I might perhaps have preferred the colours of the shirt and shorts to be switched, so that it goes light blue / dark blue / light blue. But we'll see. Overall, apart from the hideous logo it looks pretty smart, and the light/dark blue is the tiniest of hints to the Rank Xerox away.
  15. I think his mum died when he was there too, which he said affected him a lot. As has been said on here, I can see him ending up at West Ham or Palace. Will be very interesting seeing what happens to that Bournemouth team, lots of tales around that quite a few of them are on really high wages.
  16. 😂 good rant, I enjoyed that!
  17. And Berni Inn.
  18. DIY is subject to whatever conditions you sign up to when you book. flights: you can buy a flex ticket that does refunds etc, but most don’t. They go for the cheaper option. And right.y so in most cases. Accommodation: varied, but in my experience a lot of accom has a decent refund policy, booking.com certainly do. hire car: again you can buy flexible options but lots don’t, often mostly rightly so. I haven’t bought a package holiday for quite some time, but DIY is a bit more complicated and has a little more risk associated, I think it would be daft to say otherwise. But always worth doing IMO.
  19. I didn’t lose anything fella. I’ve already said earlier that I got full refunds for my flights. It was pretty clear, or so I thought,
  20. 😂 just doesn’t understand it 😂
  21. Well, there were a few. And they referred to you and your partner, so I guess the true answers would have to come from you and how you feel about her/him. I can’t answer for you, all I could do is provide my own answers based on my own situation. I’m just saying I’d find it fairly easy to ask the questions (shown below), especially when one is a yes/no answer. But again, you obviously find them too taxing to answer, which is fair enough if you struggle to come up with any answers. For your feeling of love what tests and evidence did you set to prove it? What was the threshold for evidence you set to your girlfriend for her to prove her love for you and you for her? Was there an algorithm you used or a series of tests?
  22. Which one? He asked a few.
  23. Irrelevant. Turkish’s questions seemed quite easy to answer to me. To you, I guess you found it a lot more difficult. NVM.
  24. You could just say you can’t answer them, it’s fine.
  25. Responding to the original question by asking a question of your own is not answering it. A casual observer might be led to think that you’re trying to obfuscate the issue because you can’t provide an answer that you’re confident with.
