  1. "A house divided against itself, cannot stand." Abraham Lincoln Probably from, “And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.“ Matthew 12:25
  2. My copy of “Fowler’s Modern English Usage” has a section on this sort of thing. It refers the reader by saying, See ‘Meaningless Words’
  3. Would this be the first season that no promoted team got relegated? I don’t have the records or the memory.
  4. Well said. There is a saying about a captain running ‘a tight ship’ and that’s what we need now.
  5. Isn’t that Conchita with his hair dyed?
  6. The trouble with trying to identify anyone who is ‘upcoming’ is that they are unproven until they’ve proved themselves.
  7. Many years ago I sold and installed some scoreboards at Strasbourg’s ground. They have concrete moats patrolled by dogs and the away supporters are caged up in a corner with a wire fence the same height as one around a tennis court. We don’t want to see that here.
  8. Please God, no. He’s a terrible footballer. Even if he did get an assist for their first goal yesterday.
  9. The one thing we certainly didn’t want was someone who needed a learning curve.
  10. Not important to him.
  11. He’d probably do well at Eastleigh.
  12. I’ve tried that. It didn’t work. Prick. Go and pick on somebody else.
  13. If you call than success I would hate to see failure. Oh. I just have.
  14. Let’s wait and see. I don’t think I will renew if the prices stay the same. Since we were ejected from our central seats and displaced from the neighbours that we had known for decades I have no special affiliation with where we are now. There’s always a few games that we can’t go to over the season and We will always be able to get tickets should we fancy going but to be honest. I can’t be arsed.
  15. Someone who knows what he is doing.
  16. And so am I but that doesn't mean that I could do a good job of managing Southampton. It's survivability bias of course. We never hear about the inexperienced ones who never make it.
  17. For the first time in a long while I just don't care.
  18. Your wish is granted.
  19. We have to win all three games to have even a glimmer of a hope. Not a chance. If we don't win today we shall be down before 5 o'clock. Relax and accept the inevitable.
  20. What has Bree done to upset Selles? I think we should play him so that we can begin to prepare for next season.
  21. To me, “inexperienced” means “don’t know what they’re doing”
  22. The latest arrangements with the north car park closed off we’re introduced after the perceived problems during the game against Man United last season (?).
  23. Some of us are old enough to remember when there was no segregation.
  24. You’re right! it is crazy.
