the colonel

against anyone!

No he's not he is only 62 FFS!

Link? I don't remember him saying anything of the kind?

link?

Where are our fishy friends I've not seen them on here for a while? Is it that things aren't going so good for them and they are scared to put their scaly heads above water? Surely not.

Met Paul Merson this afternoon. Asked him to dish the dirt on MLT but as I already new, he said he is one of the best and one of the good guys, nothing to tell. I don't rate PM much on his commentry on Sky but he thought Saints are doing really well and that we would get automatic prmotion this season. He never said much about 'arry other than when he first spoke to him 'arry said that pompey are **** and he needs to replace the whole squad.....which then as we know lead to their promotion!!!

no way don't want that freak anywhere near red n white.

they just told me that they are unlikely to be receiving any more.

B*ll*cks ticket office just told me they have sold out and unlikely to get anymore!!!

Met one of the blue few tonight near Oxford. Quiet amusing. Q. Asked him whether the necessary monies were through to prevent admin'. A. errrr didn't know. errrrr what money.....errrr ain't 'eard we gone outta business Q. could be hard times or good? A. errrr but we won the FA Cup last year Q. that wasn't the question, but was it worth jeopardising your club? A. errrr well we won the FA Cup that what matters Q. so the FA Cup more important than your club? A. yeah we won the cup. Others laughed at him (no not Saints Fans) while he looked confused as to why? We left him to it.

In the late 70's - early 80's I used to work in the newsagent on Bevois Valley and had to stay open an extra hour during the footie season waiting for the 'the pink' to arrive. Lots of foootie chat with the regulars who would be waiting in the shop for it to turn up. Used to always sell out, but keeping one back to take home for my dad to check the pools coupon. Will be a real shame for it to go.

MLG you are correct. NG if you want to go into 6th place you have to do better than the existing 6th place not 7th!!!!

is anyone else having problems with saintsplayer? it's saying not available yet, check later!!

That's easy, all he has to say is 'recession and what a fantastic club they have for looking after the fans in these difficult times' and as usual he will deflect the question or no answer at all. He's been doing it for years on this website (inc previous versions) sad little man that he is.

Just back from the game.....lots of work to be done. Very weak at the back not much showing up front. But totally agree things aren't going to improve over night it is going to be a long road back. We all need to be patient.

another saddo here. been going on my own for 8 years

Whoopee pompey are the biggest club the provincial has ever seen, hooray for pompey. I see you quote you're 44 on a later post.....but surely that should read 4 year old. You really are sad case. Oh I bet my dad is bigger that your dad.......nah nah

Yes but if they had a bigger stadium they would have been getting at least 35k average because they are so massively supported. Thats why they now have their 45k seater stadium..............ooops spot the mistake(s).

Just paid for 2 tickets. Asked how many sold, reply 'not an awful lot'.

How can YOU possibly talk about the ‘history of the raid’, there were three dams targeted: Möhne, Sorpe and Eder dams not two as you state. Both the Möhne and Eder were breached. The Sorpe was always known to be the most difficult because it was an earth mound rather than a concrete structure. Other reserve targets were the Ennepe Dam, which was attacked but not breached, the Lister and Schwelm Dams that weren't reached or attacked. So please get your facts right before having a dig at others. It is easy to say with hindsight that, and I quote you, ‘the raid in real life was a disaster that achieved nothing other than the pointless deaths of our best bomber crews and a lot of forced labourers’. The MOD could only act on information and intelligence available at the time. Also you can’t isolate the attack as a complete failure, the raid had other affects including: 1. Showing Stalin that Britain was able to mount such a raid on enemy territory and that showing him that we were a worthy ally. And yes we did need him as an ally at the time. 2. There was an effect on production of electricity and water output but for only a short time of a couple of months. Admittedly this was the main reason for the attack, expecting much more disruption to electricity supplies and manufacturing. 3. The biggest advantage, which wasn’t known at the time, was the effect on food production with farm animals being killed and arable land flooded and unusable. 4. There was a morale boost at home, showing people that the fight was now being taken to Germany. 5. German resources were being used to defend such raids that could have been used against the allies on the front lines. So the raid may not have been the success in the way that was intended and around 40% casualty rate was a massive price to pay, but you cannot look at these things in isolation. This was a war not a single battle and no one will get it right every time. There ends today’s in brief history lesson.

I work in London and most 'true' footie fans (of various clubs) can't understand why Saints haven't been snapped up. They see us as a good solid club with a sound fan base, a good modern ground and facilities, one of the best acadamys in the country and very little spending required on the infrastructure. That's why. Take out the in fighting over the last few years and I can't find any reason not to agree with them.

If only he would turn up we might find out some of the truth behind all this!

GM have you receive any further correspondence from TL as away of an apology? Will he have the grace to? As you did.

No no no you got it wrong she's living there with her other brother. Since they married they had to do a runner from North London and find a save haven of incest and inbreeding, so the slum to the east side of Hampshire was the obvious place.
