Danish Saint

According to the article, it's 2,2m in April with the remainding 1,2m later - all to Sasha

I'll be on the imaginary one

Claus is now working as a sports commentator at Norwegian TV2. Here's him in action, actually playing for his new "club". Subtitels are avaiable.

Corp Ho is back from hiding, but a bit like Comical Ali: There's nothing really to see here!

Ladies toilet?! Everyone knows, there are no ladies in Portsmoth

That's non-Saints related

http://www.nattogdag.no/smilegift/5167/n-d-moter-claus-lundekvam?q=N&D%20møter%20Claus%20Lundekvam Also an article in the Norwegian Press about this: Google translated: Hello, Claus! What do you eat? - There is a Thai-stuff. It works if you have a lot of dressing. But I've had enough now. But there's plenty left on the plate! - It tends to be that way. I do not eat as much of the time. I eat rather frequently throughout the day. Is there anything like that low-carb plan? - No, you know what! No low-carbon in the farm. We played against you in the media tournament in football the other day. We must admit we were a little smånervøse when we saw line-up to the other side, and that we put up the strategy accordingly. But if we are to be completely honest, Claus: We do not think that you were sooo good? "Mini was very good he is! He is underrated. - I understand. I'm just a shadow of myself on the football field. But I think that's okay, I've accepted that life as a really good football is over, now I play just for fun. Thus, it has never been appropriate for me to step down with the football in lower divisions here in Norway, as some colleagues of mine have done. We are so young that the curves are still pointing upwards. How does it feel to wake up every day and be a little less football than you were the day before? Or is it just that the problem of soccer players in luck, they do not know - or want to understand - that they are over the top? - For my part, I was injured so that his career was a very sudden and natural finish. But yes, I see many examples of football players who do not realize that they are a paler version of who they once were. It is NOK an admission that sits deep in many people. My best years were aged 28-30, there is NOK rule too many stops. Attackers often burn up the powder even earlier. Yes, you have stated that Robbie Fowler is perhaps the most toxic tip you've ever met. But he stopped the to be good before he was out of their teens! - Yes, but there it was all a lot about professionalism then, or lack thereof. But to end ... where I have not seen before. It would thus have to be Thierry Henry, at the height of his career, that is, around 2002/2003. He had a combination of intelligence and speed, which was quite tricky to deal with. There are many quick tips, but they are not all that smart, and when they can not get through. I remember that you tackled Harald Martin Brattbakk at waist height, and not even bothered to wait for the referee's red card before you were half-way through a shower. Was it the combination speed / intelligence that was a little overwhelming at that time also? - Oh, that's one of my darkest moments on the court. It was the game we lost 10-0 at Lerkendal. The plan was to go out on the path to revenge 0-9 defeat two years in advance. Instead, we get 0-3 in the face for ten minutes or something. The whole team collapsed and roll the curtain went down. I managed to score the own goal as well. I can laugh about it today, but just barely. It hurts yet. The battle also had a slightly spicy side drama all the time RBK mustered some Trond Egil Soltvedt after a much debated shift from just fire. Care two elaborate? - Uh, yes, there was some drama there. But it should be noted that this particular RBK vintage was pretty unstoppable. Skammelsrud, Berg, Staurvik, Iversen, Brattbakk, Beach ... yes, and the Mini, then! Seriously!? Taking the Mini in the company there? It was certainly ... the word we are looking for ... collegiate of you. - Mini was very good he was, and also a player type we are little spoiled in this country: målfarlig wing. He scored the hat-trick in the game we're talking about. Many people underestimate the Mini today. A few months later insert from the sinking ship in Bergen and reported moving to Southampton. There you will meet the course NIGHT & DAY favorite player Matthew Le Tissier. Can you say anything about his position in the port city of Southampton? - What shall I say? He is a God there. Nothing less. He was also an illustrious player. I must be so humiliating to call myself privileged to have the opportunity to play with such a player. There is also something about the timing. As a player is Matthew a kind of luxury accessory that no longer fit in the Premier League. Now everything is much faster, proffere and more streamlined, all players must adapt to a system. With Matthew it was more the reverse: the team had to adjust to him. A little sad that there no longer room for such characters in the Premier League? We believe that Eric Cantona had not received the contract today ... - A bit sad is that. On the other hand, the level has never been higher; football as played today is a whole lot better and faster than that recorded ten years ago. Those who know him, why did not confirmands Le Tissier braces? - No, say it. But that makes two of us. My teeth are almost as bad. Another God-substitute in Southampton's alleged fellow citizen and R'n'B scene's answer to Robbie Fowler, the somewhat ruined music artist Craig David. Explain! - Very nice guy! He was involved in some training with us in the nineties, before his career took off and he was really great. We always got VIP tickets to the shows of his, so I have seen my mite Craig David concerts, to put it that way. The most famous Southampton supporter today is just the drummer from Coldplay, Will Champion. It is a bit more schwung of music and soccer links in England than in Norway, what? Oasis and Manchester City, Stone Roses and Manchester United, Elton John and Watford. Here at home it is ... what, Wig Wam and Fredrikstad? Excuse me a moment. I'll just cry a tear. - Do not forget Rod Stewart and Birmingham. I was at home with him once, in the garden, he has a football field ... ... Type of five-a-side? - No, an entire football field. Large garden. We trained there a few times, the entire team. Fun theme, where he Rod Stewart. There you will have us believe! What do you prefer on TV? - I lose myself completely in the British sense of humor, so it is not so much Norwegian television. Instead, it got me a whole bunch English channels. Top Gear is probably my favorite. I have a thing for fast, nice cars. Had at least. I lost the patch over there ... How do you deal with substance abuse problems in your day? Can you for example take a glass of beer in merry company, as they say? - No, I'm an alcoholic and must accept it. It is the tenth beer that is the problem, it is the first. There is a daily struggle, and something I still working to reconcile myself with. Sometimes I ask myself if I can have real fun again. When you grew up in Austin and in the football community, alcohol is a very natural fit and is associated with many good memories. Now I accept that I will never drink a beer again. It is something I have to rely on me to fight with the rest of your life. So when TV 2 goes on channel collection at some mountain hotel, then you will find it wiser to stay home? - No, I'm with. It is important to me, a kind of principle. I am a social creature, I refuse to miss events just because others drink alcohol there. You are far from the first football player who has landed a little late. The list is long as a bad year, and it is certainly the big unknown. It seems that English football in particular, are especially vulnerable. Thinking about it? - I was admitted to Tony Adams Clinic, so I have included talking to him about it. Paul Merson is another I have shared experiences. I met Gascoigne other day too, for that matter. All conditions turned the up a few notches in the Premier League: wages are higher, egos are bigger, the admiration of the fans are more extensive, doped is more accessible. This amount of funds, opportunity and inflated self-image is a scary combination. You have stated that you want to start a clinic for Norwegian athletes who have substance abuse problems at the end of career. This fall, fronts a new e-learning initiative with "social drugs" as a theme, a collaboration between the player organization NISO and Anti-Doping Norway. Tell! - I do not think people are properly aware of the problem this is also at home. I was tremendously positive inquiries and feedback after I stood up with my addictions, but also a cry for help. There are too many people hit the wall when playing career is over. The project of NISO and Anti-Doping Norway is about helping them. Every time we look at football broadcasts for TV 2, we are instead sitting to long rough spell of ... wait, wait, not Julie Strømsvåg, but ... skjortekragene yours! Although we have not format to pull it off, but for readers who believe they qualify: Where do you buy them? Or, maybe costume belongs to the store to the TV 2? - Hah! Well, it so happens, I come from the island Selbjørn in Austin, a real shopkeeper municipality. Some Sunnmøre, only that it lies in Hordaland. I think you know that it is the municipality in Norway with the highest density of millionaires. Why? - Fish. You'd only known how much money there is in fish. Do you know how much money there is in fish? No. - My brother is a fisherman. Okay, your parents do? - My dad is a teacher. Mom is a hairdresser. Teachers, assistant. Big shout-out to you! We think you deserve much better pay. - But back to the shirts: One of these fishermen began importing Italian shirts, so when he asked me if I could use them on TV. And it seems I was perfectly fine, I think they were fine. So he sends me new shirts all the time. You can buy them at Clover House, I know.

The greatest legend of them all slots into his own category, which explains his status. - The attacking midfielder, who doesn't defend at all, doesn't back track, but scores buttloads of fantastic goals and creates magical moments forever remembered.

Read qoute 2 from iwys - sounded very familiar! Someone did a little fancy copy/paste number on my post!

I've had a look at those other companies, according to CSI, not affected by admin. Boom! is indoor cyckling with 12 instructors - activities pr day: 3 hours 45 min. Appanrantly located in Shoreditch, but no adress anywhere on the site. Opened September 2011. (note this) DBG is a digital and online management company specialising in mobile applications, social networks and online content management. Website is currently under maintenance. GBsport.tv will launch in September 2011 and stream 1,400 hours of live coverage a year. The core sports GBsport TV will champion include Athletics, Badminton, Basketball, Boxing, Cycling, Gymnastics, Handball, Hockey, Rowing, Sailing, Swimming, Taekwondo, Tennis and Winter Sports. The coverage will be a combination of live domestic and international events - featuring strong British competition – including National, European and World championships. Website is unavailable for viewers outside the UK. GPWeek is a rally magazine - not a big money earner. Leaders - execs playing footie and networking? Whole array of different forums for this, and not needed pr. se. PPGolf - no events since March 2011 and car sponsor is SAAB. Sportspost - a forum about sports with no fees? WAC Rally has the same statement as PFC on their site Then there's PFC - not making a profit at all!!!! They're all fooked!

So this is what it looks like when the proverbial sh*t hits the fan

This thread is now a legend in it's own.. My girlfriend just looked over my shoulder and said: 899 pages on the same thread and on the same topic?! That's impossible!" Thanks to the skates; not a problem at all!

Implosion near then

This is the true Neverending Story... expect to see Limahl play at PompeyAid soon

I've just done some research and a rough calculation, if I was to watch Saints at St. Mary's. Comes out at £360 pr. game, drinks and food not included. Includes tickets to plane, bus and match plus hotel room. Sorry, but can't afford that every other weekend.

Just saw "FC Football" on Norwegian TV2 Zebra. On the show, Claus Lundekvam donated a shirt to the program. It made me cry a bit to see it was Le Tissiers shirt from Claus' own testimonial.

Allow me to enlighten you on a little know fact inside the world of archeaology. Excavations in most of the countries surrounding the Med, are funded with private money being donated to a university or institute, with a license to excavate at sites of interest. Compared to Northern European sites, which are mostly there because of new development of the land, sites in this area are all research projects. So what does the project manager do, when the choosen site doesn't reveal anything "new" or "exciting"? They make up a theory, often linked to a legend (most likely either The Illiad or The Odysse) to boost the site to potential new investors. I've worked for a Dutch professor, who wouldn't speak of anything but her theory, in order to make it more believable. As a result, she lost the license and the site in Southern Italy, to a more "professional" archeaologist..... not me BTW

I'm just happy, they havn't caught on to our central midfielders. Cork, Hammond and Spiderman doesn't get a mention, only Chappers (and that's only because Lallana was injured). Overall good read.

I must have missed something here....but I'll bite: Who's Amy?

If going to a Saints match is some sort of badge of being a Saints fan, then I really can't be a Saints fan. I've only been to St. Mary's once (3-3 vs Newcastle, 2004), but I've been cheering and supporting the Saints since 1996, buying six Saints shirts in the process and showing it, when ever Saints was on Sky at the pub over here. I've argued, debated and defended my support and dedication to Saints almost every time. I've been applauded for not "going with the flow" and supported Liverpool, Man Utd, Leeds, Chelsea, Arsenal or Spurs as many other Scandinavians have done. This whole "Plastics or not"-discussion is very tiring. A large part of me, tells me that I shouldn't be the one to comment in this argument, but then there's that tiny little voice that tells me: "Who are these people, who think they are better supporters than me, just because it's easier and cheaper for them to support the same team?"

Underrated and played out of position most of the time. Was accused of being a lightweight, but so was Le Tiss. I still believe we never really got the best of him for various reasons. Most of all because the team wasn't suited for his type of play.

Just to close this one: Bjelland has signed with Twente after New Years. One that got away, me thinks.

What ever happend to Keith?

I've looked at some of the main AGF-forums, and the general consensus is, that he's a talent yes, but still very unknown, even to their own supporters. This is most likely due to the fact, that he hasn't even made the grade to the main club itself. AGF has an extensive youth program in place with several satelite clubs and are known to bring their own youth through the ranks. The club itself had financial difficulties a few years ago, and as Saints did, made do with their own players... and with some succes.

This "top of the League bum-squeak" is a whole lot better than the "relegation battle bum-squeak", we've been used to.... COYR
