Whitey Grandad

We're up the Baltic on Aurora. I would make the Thursday and the final though. Still, if you're trying to win a race you mustn't look over your shoulder.

Should that have been prosecution or persecution?

He's bigger than me.

Of course match fixing goes on in our top leagues, there are too many unexplained actions for it not to be true. Apart from Grobbelar there was that match at Everton that they won 3-2. Their third goal went under the keeper who takes his hand away at the last minute. Of course I can't prove it, but I was at Coventry when Bruce punched the ball into his own net. I have only seen the 'highlights' of the West Ham - Brighton game but one team wasn't trying very hard.

At the end of the dock past Ocean Terminal: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/district/southampton/9408620.__2m_Spitfire_monument_is_on_launch_pad/

I prefer the orange/yellow flame one.

I know it's hard to believe but there are people who couldn't give a toss about the next few results. I'm not sure if I envy them, or not. Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise.

I knew that but I thought I'd point it out before some pedant did.

Only if it's 4 points for a win.

Did anything happen with that proposal for a giant sculpture on top of a hill, near Rownhams I think? It would have been a spitfire standing on its tail, rather like the Angel of the North.

Correct, usually the following Saturday and then the Tue/Wed after that.

Cork was the spectator for that goal. Whether Morgan would have picked up ALF is anybody's guess.

Absolutely. I have been critical of him but that wasn't his fault. Fox for the vanity pass that picked out the only Reading player amongst four of ours, Fox for not getting in Kebe's face for the cross and Fonte for getting sucked under the cross and not blocking Roberts's run and header. You also have to criticise all the missed chances from Lallana and Lambert in particular whilst you're at it.

Staplewood would normally be amortised over a long period and would appear on the balance sheet. With crowds near 30,000 the financial situation must be a lot healthier than the figures from a season ago would lead you to believe.

Agreed. Must be worth a knighthood at least.

Is that cheese for the smile or cheese for the cheesiness?

I'm more concerned about his finishing, which I suppose you could call his 'final ball'. That header he contrived to put wide at 1-1 might well come back to haunt us.

Good grief, that was quick! And it bears out what I have always suspected. Now how about Reading? West Ham?

You're quite right but I have been saying for some time that we need a better keeper.

I suppose that's the way that I feel about it. I'm desperate for promotion but the thought of actually being in the premiership isn't very attractive.

This is not the world cup, a single playoff game I think you'll find.

More than that now that there are four years of parachute payments.

I know it shouldn't make a difference, but I don't think that's helped. Perhaps some kind soul can look at our results at 3:00pm kickoffs compared with the silly times.
