Errr just as a matter of interst (to me only!) whats the weather like, I'm off to Peschiera on Tuesday for a bit of a break.

Not 'arf - especially after he's lost a game, he'd luv it, luv it...!

Well the timings appear perfect for me - off on holiday to Lake Garda on Tuesday, by then we should be in the know and it will be the perfect start to the holiday.

You're a laaff....!

I know, MLG made the FAME = BOS connection, and while I agree it will initially - ultimatley seats will only remain full if results are good. FAME alone will not fill stadiums. I agree with you, certain managers will attract certain types of players - some managers will have better contacts than others as well. At the end of the day though - results will be the key.

Noodles - if it helps, I honestly think that you are going to struggle to get both the new owner and manager into a nutshell....!

Exactly - you can play the fame card only so far. I hope that Alan Shearer doesn't find that out too early at Newcastle next season as that looks likely to be his first managerial position. Would hate to see him fail at his first attempt as a manager.

I think if you read St Louis' 'one liner', it was said (posted) very much 'tongue in cheek' - the quotes, use of the word unbelievably and exclamation mark are the clues - I think.

Agreed MLG - but those bums on seats will fast disappear should the 'Famous One' fail to add SUCCESS (WINS) to his portfolio. Remember we are fickle, and at the first sign of trouble I fear 'the bums' will vacate their seats. Fame will, admittedly, get you off to a flyer, but ultimately everybody will be judged on the results.

...and WGS...!

Yeah I know - but it was nothing to get steamed up about really though...!

In that case it is patently obvious that they are not on gardening leave as the ground is still totally overgrown, there is no sign of gardening whatsoever. Perhaps then, they have just been put out to grass...!!!

Go on - you know you want to.....!

Ahhhh Jim Ratcliffe - that all fits in perfectly with the last CD clue - clear as mud now.... oohhhh...!

Listen, I don't care who or what he is - there is absolutely no way that I want a cross dresser running SFC - period...!

Any use...???

Cheers trousers - I did actually manage to google it myself in the end though. Isn't this old ground though - haven't we discussed this elsewhere on this board or am I going senile...!

Who are fansonline ? Link, anybody...???

Doooh - sad but probably true - at least my confession allows you now to revert to your normal, sub-standard bollux...!!! Post away - first one to 20,000 wins....!

Perhaps some posters should be charged 'by the post' as opposed to the 'bog standard' five quid...! Nice milestone though Nick, any chance that you could throw in at least one sensible post during the next 10,000 though...!

Nope - and he won't get to see sixty bloody six if he pulls more shyte like that either...!!!

Errr you (we've) been had... The post we have all been waiting for (NOT)..... SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT Are we all sitting comfortably...some on here already know the ins and outs of this, they are the ITKers.. But for those waiting to celebrate a special day...a very special day! It's Southampton related ..Arthur Rd., Shirley, in fact, on the 10th June 1944. Just 4 days after D-Day, I was born As I said, I've seen the documents, and the actual signatures on it, so it is true, it is my 65th birthday and now we can all celebrate the fact that I am an old age pensioner. My birth certificate was witnessed by my Aunt, who, fortunately is still with us and she confirmed quite catorgorically that it is my 65th birthday today I am in retirement offically , as from MIDNIGHT..confirmed by the DWP thank you all those on facebook for the e-cards and best wishes But I lost my bet..I couldn't get the Echo to bite, however the Saintsweb did run a thread on my post, and some speculated, as was anticipated. Some of the more sensible ones urged caution. Some are probably even waiting up to read this..if so... What i want to know is ' will you still love me now I'm 65?'

Busy here tonight - 165 users logged on still...!!!

You and me both Ponty - would somebody please 'lead me by the hand' to the thread that this thread is meant to be about - if you see what I mean...!!! Edit - ahhh right, found my way now - ummm lot of effort for well, not a lot really...!!!

Ahhh yet more 'pearls of wisdom' from that well known poster who gave his his last prediction in the now infamous 'Wotte will keep us up' thread. I hope your latest look into your crystal ball is closer the mark than that last one TDD...!
