But they do have Eugene Bopp now... I'm sure that'll put an extra couple of thousand on their gates LOL

Keedy, Croft?

Lol, good thread. Like the subject, too.

The FULL 16,000 eh Corp? You're really hitting it with the big boys. I just bet you wish you could fit more in now you've (almost) signed Eugene Bopp

Nobody has mentioned the importance of mental fitness - something that is integral should you wish to squeeze that extra 5-10% out of your performance like we did under Strachan. Late goals being conceded and none being scored in our favour can also be attributed to the mental strain/tiredness of the players just as much as physical fitness. This is exactly what Pardew may have been referring to when he was telling us about regaining that winning mentality. That's it, a mentality. We could very well be the fittest group of players in the league (and I wouldn't be surprised, we returned earlier than everyone else) but if we're not in the right shape mentally it could go all to pot. Hence why Pardew is probably happy with the physical fitness and has alluded to the mental shortcomings. In fact, I'm sure identified that problem as soon as he saw the team train for the first time.

Probably not enough to cover Eugene Bopp's wages.

Lol, they'll be back to 6,000 average gates in no time at all.

This thread was facking amusing!!!

I friggin' hated Giles as a "bowler."

Dell. Dell. Dell. Especially if you want 'pink'... but they are reasonably priced for laptops with good specs. Plus there are plenty of online voucher codes to make your purchase even more reasonable.

LOL Ormondroyd.

Go on... I'm always interested to know other methods, please!

Stevo, 'teh legend' Muchas Gracias Amigo! Want to get you 'WW-ing' as soon as we get an investor.

Hello all Big problemo... i have been tasked with creating a DVD slideshow with 12 pictures that will loop continuously... problem is, I don't know how or where to start. Creating the slideshow and then having to transfer it so that it is compatable with a standard DVD player is the problem I'm having. Does anyone know a program out there where I can do this? Or does anyone on here have facilities or expertise to make this DVD? I have the Ulead DVD workshop trial version, but it will only let me make something which is 10 images long. Have to have this done very soon so time is of the essence... can anyone help!?!? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

Storrie and Redknapp are culpable, IMO. Redknapp giving the nudges, Storrie the winks and between them a few brown paper bags...

Wouldn't say he's been 'crap', TDD... He's been ok, underperformed a little maybe but like you said, it doesn't help with the team disintegrating around him. He's been awesome of England though, and he really is a worthy international footballer.

Lol, now Utaka and Belhadj on their way too. And Corp? Where are you? I still see no response to my post above? I'd love to see you try wriggle out that one...

I work with two very famous swedes, fact. They are prob on the Skatesmouth shortlist of potential signings.

My heart skipped a beat after seeing that! Bloody hell, imagine Thomson, Lancashire, Molyneux and Bart in the same defence Of that team, there are probably only two or three who could step up and provide adequate cover... and that's not alot over a 46 game season (exc cups) The real difference between CCC and L1 is not the quality, its the size of the clubs in the divisions IMO.

I would agree with you there... thing is... we may have a decent first 11 if all our fit... but we have no depth to cover if we have a spate of injuries. Yes, it is another rung down the footballing ladder but I don't think there is a massive gap between the CCC and L1. See recent promotions/relegations as statistical evidence.

I miss you Ashley. :-(

"Ian Bell still owes me a day of my life back for batting like a woman in Chester-le-Sreet a couple of years ago. He is the slowest run maker I have ever seen." From 606 Boards.. LOL, this is so true. Always felt that about Ian Bell, soooooooo frustratingly slow.

Maybe the footage was deliberate and unfair, but I saw very little footballing ability Still, I am sure it will be amusing watching him kick lumps out of the playboys next season

Let's face it, Bell is a never will be, Carberry is a quite possibly. Why don't we give an unproven yet hungry player a chance at this level instead of letting them knock around in what is effectively our 'B' team for a few years until they go stale (or ripe enough for the first squad, according to the selectors.) Big case in point is probably Dimi... I think the selectors certainly missed his prime by about 2 years or so... Still, he's there or thereabouts now, but England fudged around for along time with crap like Solanki etc instead of picking players on their performance. Y'know, I never understand all this 'developmental squad' crap... just more positions for ECB overlords to justify theirs and their mates jobs.

Surely some of the psycho's on here who would have stalked him for the past couple of months would have seen him talking to a Saints representative, somewhere? My reckoning is we probably approached but were rebuffed. Doesn't the statement come from Exeter, and not from Tisdale anyway?
