  1. Apologies for any duplicates. Terry Butcher Gordon Banks Chris Waddle Ron Flowers Nicky Butt Markus Babbel Roger Hunt Gareth Bale Kevin Bond And of course.... Bobby Stokes
  2. I think last season was very tough. Wasn't it the highest points total for the fourth team in the playoffs?
  3. My (later) wife and I visited Amsterdam in 1969 and had a great time. We went on the Amstel Brewery tour which I can strongly recommend. One young Swedish lad there, who was obviously an old hand at this sort of thing, reckoned that the Heineken tour was better, but that was over 40 years ago. We didn't sober up until later in the afternoon at the zoo. I have absolutely no idea how we got there. http://madeinatlantis.com/amsterdam/brewery_amsterdam.htm Times have changed.... we went by train from Enfield Town to Amsterdam Central via Hook of Holland. My dad got me a free pass but my wife's ticket was just over £9 return.
  4. Makes yer proud to be a Saint.
  5. I'd laugh if it weren't so sad. Well, I laughed anyway.
  6. Spots could be anything but the bleeding is a concern. Don't hang around, get him straight down to the Quack and don't let him be fobbed off.
  7. Our games in hand are against Charlton so does that make them 12-pointers?
  8. They normally jump over land, not water. The chef in our local lives next to the bridge and he has seen loads of them.
  9. What do you call 'playing well' if it's not winning?
  10. Don't underestimate Bournemouth. They beat Brighton a couple of weeks ago.
  11. It's also obvious that Fonte never heard anything.
  12. I miss his avatar for which I shall be eternally grateful. I share your concerns.
  13. Painfully slow over his goal kicks in the first half. He took at least 10 seconds to take it even after all our players were in position. It stifles any momentum that we might have built up. He was much quicker second half, maybe Adkins had a word with him at half time?
  14. Yes, many congratulations. I didn't know he had it in him!
  15. That's what I voted, not because I wish for it but because I fear that we shall just miss out on second place and I have usually found that winning the playoffs does not go to the most deserving team. One shirt-pull or a fluked own-goal and it's all over until next season. When you look at the current top teams, two from Brighton, Bournemouth, Huddersfield, Saints, Charlton will probably go up automatically with the others involved in the playoffs. Peterborough, Colchester, MK Dons might also get a look in. I think it will all be down to our away results against Brighton and Bournemouth and our two games against Charlton.
  16. That was then: this is now.
  17. You'd think that they could dream upsomething more imaginative for a trap on a golf course in the desert, wouldn't you? How about a carpet of fresh camel turds? As for our neighbours, I just hope that I'm still around when retribution and justice wield their axes.
  18. He seems to have a lot of trouble hitting that ball with all that sand around. I suppose that serves them right for trying to play golf in the middle of the desert.
  19. Is that each, or for the pair?
  20. A word of warning..... On average a British woman owns 27 pairs of shoes.
  21. I'm pretty sure that I did. Which game was it?
  22. Especially when you consider that we bought him for £1m and replaced Maik Taylor who we sold for £500k.
  23. It says he was shot Nothing about near misses.
  24. True, but the Premier League has an awful lot of strange kick-off times.
