Nobody does until 9am tomorrow!

Well you sort of need to know in order to log in Also it says this on the login page, which sort of gives the game away: Assumed that it would class me as having used the site before - thought it was a simple redesign before noticing the domain change/full new system.

Yeah, aside from the fact that they've reset everyone's password to their postcode. Top security nous there! Given that the only details required to access an account are now your email address and postcode, I'd suggest logging in and updating it quick-sharp.

Nope. JWP scored for us in the FA Cup, 2012. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/16371777.stm Do I get a MLG point?

Very little. In fact they probably get as much revenue from allowing Youtube ads before our vids. Player was invaluable whilst we were in the Football League but doesn't offer much you can't get elsewhere these days.

Wasn't there last night, but at Bournemouth both the 'Lallana'/Sloop John B chant and the FC Twente ones were sung - the latter more often, as it should ideally be.

So who's calling this the 'Ronald Revolution' then? Never seen that term used on here!

So how many of you are really washing your hands of saints?
ant replied to doddisalegend's topic in The Saints
Exactly my philosophy. I generally try to be balanced and pragmatic but hold my hands up as having become too wrapped up in the minutiae of modern football. Sometimes you've got to step back and recall why we do this. What got us into football in the first place? Not the politics, that's for sure. Sod giving up my season ticket (or the away games I can afford to go to); the chance to watch Saints - in whatever state - is too important to miss. -
Blimey, we have a lot of left footers. I'm a left midfielder, in the process of being transferred to a CAM role. Proponent of playing a high line (but only if my teammates put the same effort in). Best utilised in a squad that plays one-touch football but enjoy running at opposition full backs and can swing a cross in. Decent enough tackler from my time at left back. Gradually losing pace, not strong enough and I'm far too prone to crumbling under opposition pressure. Also have something of a temper... Special ability: people seem to assume I'm younger than I am. Also, reading this back I realise I've had similar positional transitions to Gareth Bale. Sadly that's where the comparisons end.
-
Not a chance. It's actually quite a funny idea - given the number of variables involved, any expected attendance from the club's end will no doubt be plucked from the air. A drop-in-the-ocean 'protest' is going to have zero impact.
-
May do just that, ta for the advice. Assumed people would've been heading off on holiday Wednesday/yesterday as schools broke up midweek.
-
I work in Chilworth and the M27 heading west from here doesn't look too clever either. Leaving work at 3.30pm so hopefully there won't be so many New Forest/beach day trippers to contend with by then. Google Maps gives a traffic-adjusted journey time of 1 hour rather than 40 minutes so it shouldn't be too traumatic. Be good to see our lot given a proper workout. Also interested to see whether Bournemouth fans still have delusions over being our rivals.

My office has been collecting these and we still need the following: 10, 23, 30, 32, 38, 42 113, 118, 119, 126, 132, 141, 144, 145, 176, 180 235, 256, 276 338, 341, 371, 385, 394, 395 402, 409, 410, 413, 438, 439, 443, 451, 458 517, 546, 548, 581, 587 624, 628, 630, 638 Throw me a PM if you've got any we need - happy to either swap (got an obscene pile of doubles) or lob a bit of money your way. (For my record - ones I'm being sent by Saints Web people): 84, 172, 318, 357, 369, 457, 461, 468, 512, 527, 595, 599, 622)

TICKETS: Bayer Leverkusen (H) - Saturday the 9th of August - 17:00 BST
ant replied to Saint-Armstrong's topic in The Saints
Yes and no. The cheap ticket prices will mean it'll sell pretty well, but neither the corners of the ground nor the Chapel Stand will be open which reduces potential capacity somewhat. I'd just avoid Northam Blocks 40-42, where the rabble such as myself reside Being so close to the start of the season (and the only home friendly) there ought to be a fun atmosphere - a decent opportunity to get the kids hooked. Just noticed I was too slow in replying... Enjoy! -
TICKETS: Bayer Leverkusen (H) - Saturday the 9th of August - 17:00 BST
ant replied to Saint-Armstrong's topic in The Saints
According to the ticket line staff they don't have the ability to override the booking fees (make your own mind up on whether that's true). I argued the toss but as I only needed two tickets did relent. Would've cost me more in petrol to get down to the ticket office although that's not really the point. Still, decent opposition and we should be approaching a full strength squad by then. Hopefully will be played at less of a canter than the early friendlies. -
Likewise! Steve seems a top bloke (albeit purely based on a few tweets exchanged). However when it comes down to a choice between the 10,000 mAh Anker E3 at £21.99 and the 3,000 mAh Veho Pebble at £19.99, you'd have to be desperate for the smaller dimensions to chose the device with less than a third of the storage capacity. Charged my phone each night at Sonisphere (so 4 times) and still came away with 25% battery in the E3.

I'm not sure there's a massive discrepancy with last year's sizes. In 2013-14 I wore a Small home shirt and was gifted the away in a Medium (Megastore staff apparently advised it came up a size smaller). I picked up a Medium 2014-15 shirt today and that seems to fit OK, just similar to last season's away in that it's a pretty skinny cut. Sort of expected as there's always slight variations when moving from one manufacturer to another. For those that care, this is the lot that the club's sourcing the kit from, albeit 'white label'. http://lbjsportsapparel.co.uk

Oh, hell no. Nightmare visions of a 'fan on the board' voting to sell 2020's version of Morgan Schneiderlin so that we can persist with 2020's version of Paul Wotton.
-
For those interested, the latest article on the OS states that season ticket discount IS available from tomorrow. Power to the people!
-
Expiration seems to be at an indeterminate point after a season's end - also asked for clarification on this as none of this info is included in the season ticket sales pack nor the club's T&Cs for ticket sales. Certainly when I bought the 2013/14 shirt last July I tried to use my 2013/14 ST to get the 10% discount and was told it wasn't active yet, with the 2012/13 one supposedly having expired. At the end of the day it's only a fiver but it's the principle that rankles. Bit of an unnecessary money grab, especially when the discount is listed as a front-and-centre perk of being a ST holder. Also a bit bloody cheeky for the new ST not to be 'active' upon receipt when they've had our lump sums as far back as 29th April.
-
You can get the 10% discount with a season ticket, but only from 1st August - conveniently long enough after many will have bought the new kit. I asked the club why that policy exists and they're currently "investigating".
-
Been meaning to check out the definitive pronunciation - guess I'm a bit too young to remember it from his playing career. This link certainly seems to support the OP - http://www.forvo.com/word/ronald_koeman.

A mid table finish would do very nicely. I've been saying for a couple of weeks that we'll be fine; the situation's only getting more exciting. Short of Reed and Koeman telling barefaced lies we were always going to replace the departures with quality. You'd also have to ask why the hell RK would've come here if Liebherr's intention was a 'fire sale' (ha - at tens of millions a pop!) or asset strip. Granted it's one thing to claim we're out to sign decent players and another to deliver it, but the board deserved more of the benefit of the doubt than they received. Here's to the team continuing to deliver across the required positions.
-
Awful quality video been doing the rounds. You can't even see Lallana, but you get the gist.
-
Yep, I imagine we'll need it in time for the Swindon and Bournemouth friendlies, unless they're going to play in their away kits.
