  1. You forget that this is not unique to Skates. A lot of small grounds are known for their noisy atmosphere. Typical example was the Dell. The media were always going on about the Dell, the atmosphere and the affect it had on the big clubs, our record against the top clubs was quite good. It was often quoted in the media that one of the reasons for our longevity in the top league was down to the Dell. Also speak to players of that era and many hated coming to the Dell because of the intense atmosphere and closeness of the fans. So don't get excited by your own hype.
  2. Friday - travel Uluru to Port Douglas, night on the lash with some locals Saturday - 4x4 up into the Daintree Rainforest Sunday - day out on the Great Barrier Reef Just your average weeekend.
  3. What league title win i the 1920s? or are you referring to their back to back title wins of 1948 and 1949. Need to get these facts right as well. or they will shiitte over you. You could quote Saints Southern league Champions for 1897 1898 1899 1901 1903 1904 Pompey won it 1902 and 1920. So when things were all even there was only one obvious club on the south coast. plus we made two FACup finals in 1900 and 1902. The Southern League is over looked by history but it was an important league and Saints had signed players for the football league and were the top southern league team. The football league only consisted of the northern clubs plus arsenal. So you could argue we have 6 titles against their 4 !?! Or am I clutching at straws.
  4. Touchy! As a kid I walked under it when it was being built. Had a look round the yard before leaving school because I was thinking of going into naval architecture. But I didn't work it on so who cares.
  5. 4:45am Sunday. Just got in, I live in London. Had to avoid the M40 aswell
  6. Back to business as usual then!
  7. And you love coming here to read it....sad very sad....I don't go on your skate boards but I suspect there is nothing on this board that isn't reciprocated.
  8. Considering you have to resort to name calling you are not so convinced of your (ooops someone else's) argument!!

  10. In what way is it a 'magnificent piece of architecture'? It looks ok? But it will hardly go down in the annuals of architectural history. How does it stand out from many other modern stadia? What is original that hasn't been done before? You're the one mouthing off how great it is, now put some substance behind what you are claiming. And before you say 'Maginficent architecture is in the eye of the beholder' it is not. I agree compared with what you had it is magnificent.
  11. Did we score in the 1st half? Over heard a group of Brighton fans talking amongst themselves in the bus queue thought the ball was over the line.
  12. qwirkle
  13. Ho stop please.......not sure I can keep laughing so much.....actually I did after the first paragraph when the boredom set in.....thankfully you won't be at school so your inane drivel will come to an end for a couple of weeks.
  14. The only real 'din' on here is you...sad fuuucckker that you are and can't stay away.
  15. the desperation in your tone is the biggest laugh
  16. shame your own fans couldn't turn out to help save you....blue few role on for another month.
  17. Johan Elmader up at 44%?!?!?! **** knows why. good goal but nowhere near the best
  18. yawn. ask a stupid question get a ?!?!??!
  19. Doh! So in other words you were wrong. Goal difference counts not goals scored unless difference is equal. Don't worry it has only been this way since the beginning Association Football. Sometimes 148 years just isn't long enough
  20. No he hasn't. He has only resigned as chairman so that he can concentrate on football matters and the transfer window.
  21. Excellent summary....to be honest if Ho wasn't such a joke I'd say ban him but **** don't ever do it, to have a such a loser and misguided fool in one person is just too funny.
  22. Anyone know why Ho has not been on recently? lol lol lol
  23. never to be a republic
  24. Corphomo come out from under your stone......in what way are you pikies bigger than SAINTS at this point in time...just encase you aren't aware (and I'm sure you are but here it is anyhow): Saints double the points than skates Saints 1 goal off double the goals scored than skates Saints have won more than double the number of games skates have. Saints have only lost (nearly) a quarter of the games the skates have Saints more than double the home attendances than skates Saints more than double the away attendance than skates All Saints away games have been amongst the best attended for the clubs we visited. Oh yeah you win, skates have let in more goals. With skates maths and logic that must mean you are bigger and better.
  25. usually frazier for me but after today butterfield was great..glad i dont have to choose
