In some respects GM I agree with you in that this thread's run its course at the present moment in time. With regards to this whole issue I hope things work out as optimistically as you suggest. Even as a remainer (you'll notice not 'remoaner') I don't wish economic ill on anyone whether they voted in or out. Only one thing really bothers me and it is this; how come with your ability to foresee the economic future so accurately I am unable to access any of your published work, for published work there surely must be from one with such a clarity to see where it will all end up. Or is this just the triumphalist sheite rantings of a 'kipper'?

Enlighten me where did the lovely tem of endearment 'snowflake' originate from? Not really heard of it until I was saddled with it by LDH for having the temerity to suggest that Brexit was a really s-h-i-t-e idea on here.

Both days have similarities, for me perhaps being 35 years older makes all the difference to how I feel about it. Plus I was at Highbury and not at Wembley on Sunday. Feelings also probably ran higher because it was 1984 and the atmosphere was pretty toxic as it was in those less sanitised days. That said three days later we played Everton at The Dell and beat them 3-1 so some sort of revenge was almost immediate. Saints were brilliant that evening btw.

According to Talksport he's signing for Liverpool, along with VVD and Bertrand. Joking aside, at least I hope I am, this is a correct observation.

When I was a kid in Baddesley it was all Saints. Oh and an Evertonian family that lived opposite and the Bedes Lea was brand new.

Slack there Saints.

Hmmm an academic snob, that's all we need.

This made me laugh. Asking advice on washing your pongy helmet is just plain funny. Seriously though if it smells that bad, get rid! I started off with cheaper lids and found that even when pads were removable they quickly deteriorated with constantly being taken out and washed. With this in mind I went a bit up-market and got a Giro Synthe which was a great helmet, let down unfortunately by a dodgy ratchet. I replaced this with a Kask Protone which is incredibly comfortable. I wash it pretty much every time use it. Take it in bath or shower so sweat/odours don't stick around and it dries happily by next day

Something was odd about last season. More 'fishy' than the eastern end of the M27.

Dilly Ding! Dilly Dong! Actually quite shameful the way that some players (The Pikey, Drinkwater and Mahrez) have under-performed this season. In some ways bound to happen as they have reached the high point and realistically have been left with nowhere to go beyond that motivation wise, as they were never going to defend the title successfully. Leicester have themselves to blame as they did not freshen up the successful side. Kante's loss needn't have been so crucial had they invested prudently in his replacement(s).

My next door neighbour (Liverpool fan) just refers to him as the Road Runner, says it all really. He reckons we will win next Sunday with Gabbiadini giving their defence all sorts of grief and with Long coming on to stretch them in the last 15-20 mins

Reading, just to rub loads of people's noses in it.

Such comments always brighten the day LDH.

I lived with the rust on my 105 pedals and took them off and re-greased them on a regular basis. I tried various ways of removing the rust from wire-wool to Coke until thoughts and plans of a new bike took over, and I abandoned the regular maintenance and attempts at cleaning. Fast forward to around this time last year and the Ridley hadn't been used for around six months and the pedals not maintained for a while beforehand. The result was they were well and truly rusted in and even the LBS struggled to get them out. They cleaned them up and reattached them and all seemed fine until I took it out for a ride. The LBS had got them in and tightened them up OK but the right crank thread was obviously too badly mangled. A couple of miles in and I noticed a clicking coming through my right foot which got worse. A little further on I stopped to investigate the clicking and as I clipped out I ended up with a pedal still attached to the cleat but not to the crank. Couldn't get it back in, cue one-legged ride home and new Campag chainset. Just a though also, make sure you was the pedals down with water, just enough to get ride of road salt/sweat and spray with a water dispersal spray like Bike Spray.

Fair enough WSS. Look upon your 14mph as valuable endurance time. I was chatting with my neighbour who will be going to the Alps with me in June. He reckons that with the turbos and shorter rides we can pretty much imitate at our respective levels what the pros do, what we always can't do is go AWOL for 5 or 6 hours and just ride endurance.

Should have gone that route in the summer.

Isn't there a saying about being "normal for Norfolk"

Neil McCann't anyone?

Sums it up to me. No connection from day 1. A poor fit even though probably a good coach. When he speaks I just glaze over and think of the 'possibilities and opportunities' he has missed.

What Henry? Dum de dum, de dum de dum de dum, daah de dah de dah dah. Thought he died a few years back!

Top trolling, now **** off

And replaced with who?

Ran out of steam at Charlton, same thing happening?

Good to see you back at it WSS. Just a thought but this thread is kind of dying a death, so if you've got FB join us on Cycling Saints Fans. VFFT, me, Washsaint and a few others who I don't recognise from here chew the fat over there, football as well as cycling without having to put up with the self-entitled muppetry that pervades this place.

Is it fear of losing, or fear of losing heavily so that your non- Saints supporting acquaintances rip the slash out of you that makes you post garbage.
