  1. EXACTLY! Stupid useless glassfaced arseweasel. Jussi Jaaskelinen stepped in, and I can't even bloody spell his name!
  2. Came in handy. Effing Craig Gordon. I'm in, WinningIsNot4Losers will not win. I make this statement now, to get the embarrassment out of the way.
  3. When I've seen them live, Seaborne and Martin have looked assured, it's Jaidi I've always thought of as the liability given his age. He does play well at times Jaidi but perhaps a step up may prove too much for him. People don't rate Seaborne, and he's not ever going to be Premiership quality, but he's still our best option to partner Fonte. Martin will be good, but I'd rather give him time to ease into Championship life. All in all it seems we are a centre back short, a top quality, Premiership quality (or Premiership potential) rock. (I also think we're a decent right back short but the two we have can do a job in the short term.)
  4. Could keep Barny company on the pitch and in the nick.
  5. I'm disinterested with England games too, I've always stated that I'm a Saints fan first and an England fan a distant second. (I think the majority of this country are club over country too tbf, without knowing the statistics.) I follow England games because they usually occur when no club football is on and because of a small amount of patriotism. If Saints lose, I'm gutted. If England lose? Meh. (And yes, I realise celebrating if England win the World Cup or Euros makes me a hypocrite, but I tend to get swept up in fads.)
  6. I occassionally have a jokey dig at my fiancee, but to be fair she keeps me very well. I'll get my dinner done for me (although I do chip in every now again), I get my tea and coffees made without asking, and I get my washing done. (Although I do the ironing). She also cleans the house (she has undiagnosed OCD) and gives me loving without much fuss. She has also started pulling out the few grey hairs that are appearing, and I get a massage or back scratch just by asking with little to no complaint. I'm a terrible partner too, even I wouldn't want to live with me. I'm sure that when we have kids, I'll have very little to do with their nurturing. :-) Which got me thinking, what does your missus (or man) do for you that makes her/him special in your eyes?

    I thought it was a forum about sewing machines. :-(
  8. Thanks. On the upside, i'll be skint after the wedding, so if I divorce the dozy mare she can't take me for every penny! (I have saved enough back for the odd trip to SMS though!)
  9. You beat me to the punch. I get married next year and this is what we're doing. We don't need material things, as we've lived together for four years and have what we need so aren't having a wedding list, but as I'm funding the whole wedding myself due to neither parental unit having any spare cash, we won't be able to afford a honeymoon. I don't earn much but have saved well, but any extra help to get us on a honeymoon would be much appreciated. Thus we're giving people the chance to buy us holiday vouchers. As much as people want to give. We won't kick up a stink if we don't end up in the Maldives, even a weekend in Bognor Regis would be something! We won't look down on friends and family that give us nothing, that's their choice. We're not showy people anyway, I've noticed an upturn in Americanisation of weddings, a "look at me" culture where the bride and gloom choreograph their own first dance. I'd be embarrassed as sin. I watched that Big Fat Gypsy Wedding and it nearly made me sick.
  10. Sausage and Egg Mcmuffin and five hash browns. I bloody love their hash browns. My record in one sitting was eight. I aim to one day beat it.
  11. I met Michael Poke's uncle the other day. Use this tidbit of useless info as you will.
  12. It's better than last season's pre-season - I was sure we hadn't had enough of a test then. As long as the players are fit and ready to go (you'd think an ex-phsio would be top notch at this), then we will have succeeded with the pre-season preparations.
  13. We need to carry last season's tail end form into this season, how sweet it would be if we didn't start slowly like every other bloody season. Banging Leeds 6-0 and topping the table after one game would be lovely.
  14. So we need to plan the kidnapping of Mark Chamberlain for a fortnight. You get the net, I'll get the roofies. We need Oxo out until the 1st September, but I still get the feeling he'll see at least half a season more with us. The January window will be interesting though. If we're pushing for promotion at that stage, maybe we can get him to stay, and tie him up with a fat new 5 year contract....
  15. Oi! My missus is a Nor-witch-gian. (actually I agree with you. :-D)
  16. The Chaplow goal. For a few minutes, sat in the company of a Man U fan, I was gloating my effing arse off. For the mk Dons game I'd given up listening at half time, had it on in the background as I did the ironing. With each Forte goal I was keeping my concentration, when Barnard scored I was jumping round the room and nearly scorched my pants.
  17. From what I've seen of both Seaborne and Martin, both are competent enough to do a job in that position, and just because we're in a higher league doesn't mean Jaidi won't see his fair share of action. If it were up to me, I'd keep what we have, see how they get on, and re-evaluate the spot in the January window. If there's a gap that needs plugging, that'd be the time to sort it. That said I do think we'll see a first choice CB come in before the end of August, the No 5 spot has been left vacant for a reason. Don't forget though, that there's still over a month until the window shuts. It may also be that we're waiting to see if anyone matches Oxo's valuation, which will then leave us with a shed load more dosh to invest that we have now. (I still hope Oxo stays though...)
  18. I'm actually guilty of using Australianisms. I very regularly say "No Worries" instead of "Your Welcome" at work when a customer says Thank-you. Lord knows where or how I adopted that, I reckon it's because I am a cockle.
  19. Someone commented that the stylized aap3 logo looks like it reads "crap". Imagine how much fun the Skates would have if we named it the Crap Stadium.
  20. Is aap3 the first name in the abbreviation dictionary?
  21. Lulu Twiggy How about over 60's?
  22. Finishing his career with us then. I wonder if he'll get a coaching role at the end of it...
  23. If they're in financial plop, there's no way they'll be spending £8 million on players. Money from the sales will go towards balancing the books and paying existing wages, and free transfers and loans will replace outgoing players.
  24. I wonder if he'd use that terminology though? "Morning Nigel, I want your man Puncheon and I'm willing to give you £500k and Gorkss in exchange." "Who's Gorkss?" "My centre back. Trust me, Aitch Cee Dee A Jay Eff Yoo!" "Bugger off Neil, that's OUR word."
  25. Time to change that then. I thought we would win our first game last season, but didn't know about the unrest in the camp or the pathetic attempt at a pre-season. This time around, we have a manager that is being backed and who is an ex-physio so knows better than anyone how to get his players into shape, we have just been promoted and are on a high, we have strenghthened an already good squad, and are at home and on Sky to boot. Oh, and Leeds have a striker shortage. For me, and I'm probably wrong, all the signs seem to point to us winning.
