I've caved in and done exactly that. I was worried about missing the dulcet tones and incisive analysis of Merrington, and the occasional lyrical waxing of the commentator dude. Oh, God, we're at the Alamo now.

The way Saints Player is going, updates would also be appreciated by those of us WITH commentary. :confused:

Yeah, it was pretty dire for the Norwich highlights, wasn't it? The guy sounded like he was commentating of the gradual onset of rigor mortis. He took what was, by all accounts, a ton of excitement and turned it into a Merrington-like drone. And God knows what he was doing with Bart's name.

I saw one all the way out here a couple of months ago. My wife thought I'd reverted completely to my childhood (instead of just partially) when I got irrationally excited about a crane. I could have saved myself with a smart comment about erection but chose not to go there.

Thanks. I now have a link to the urban dictionary on my home page - to save myself the embarrassment of asking these questions.

I'm still trying to figure out what you've just said. You're not calling any individual a mongtard but you're calling all of them together mongtards. Oh, well. Works for me, mate. I liked your post. Now all I need to do is figure out WTF a mongtard is.

Hard to make love without a hot dog.

So I guess you would be in the group trying to look clever/funny, then. Looking through this thread that didn't work out so well. I actually have an over-developed sense of humour but it doesn't stretch to taking the p*ss out of our own players. Still, it could have been worse. I could have done a Deanovski and called you a mongtard, whatever that is. :smt008

A fricking central defender beats our guys to a ball on the deck inside our penalty area. It makes you want to scream.

Fricking set pieces.

Oh, boy - we left the UK in 1981 and I'd forgotten about that. Thanks. It's only been 17 years then.

1979 was our last time there, wasn't it? Thank God we didn't know our next visit would be thirty-one years away - and that's if we get there.

They have the same problem in Rugby.

He comes from Senegal He's magic on the ball He cannot be denied Unless he goes offside Papa Waigo

Is Connolly injured or is he just incapable at this point of playing two big games in four days?

Pleeeeeaaase Adam, have a really good game, keep your width and track back. That's key to A) a win, and B) Harding not getting booked. Lallana's a very big player tonight.

I'm very frigging happy for you.

Sorry, but I can't help laughing. We shattered a longstanding record on Sunday night with a bone- and willy-chilling -46 celsius at the airport - over 10 degrees lower than the old record. That, over here, is what we call a "cold snap", presumably because important things can break off when it gets that low. Global warming, my arse. Leeds sounds almost tropical.

"Amazing frigidity" doesn't seem to do it justice but apparently it's leaving soon and heading - sorry to say it - eastward. I hope it smartens up before it gets anywhere near you. Have a good one, Hamilton.

Anyone called Grandad will surely remember how convinced we all were that some "powers that be" didn't want to see us promoted out of the Third Division (South). The more things change, the more they remain the same, eh? However, one of the reasons I love seeing Markus Liebherr at the games is that it means he isn't just in it for the money. He's also a fan, and fans just love success on the pitch.

Yes, but Kieber's German and most of the tax-evaders in that case are European. Your statement was "An employee of the Royal Bank of Canada in B.C. has been caught helping hundreds of people establish tax-havens with secretive Lichenstein banks", which - at least for now - is hyperbole. My point wasn't about the number of people fiddling their taxes in Canada, but about the use of exaggeration to make points in the endless pro/anti-union debate. I've actually watched it from both sides of the bargaining table and it frustrates me no end. Meantime, Hamilton, we actually managed to obliterate a longstanding temperature record this week. On Sunday night it dropped to -46 at the airport, beating the old record by a stunning 10 degrees. No hyperbole in that sentence - not even the underlined bits!

Hamilton, you accused someone of being "Slightly hyperbolic" earlier in this thread and I'm going to do the same to you. Although this could grow bigger, the very latest news still indicates that it was several advisors in one or two offices, but not even Canada Revenue Agency is suggesting at this point that there are "hundreds of people" benefiting from their actions. This is part of the problem - people on both sides of the union/anti-union debate resort to overstatement in an attempt to make their point, and that carries over to the negotiating table.

For sure these are bigger savings than the mortgage interest (which probably only amounted to half a million or so). We are much healthier in so many ways but January should give us a really good insight into their business plan.

What's the goal here - A) to support the team or B) for some fans to make themselves sound clever/funny? Hopefully someone can tell us exactly how the song contributes to A).

Right. As I said in my first post a lot of it depends how the club is handled within the broader Liebherr business structure. Regardless, though, they're likely in this as a longer term investment which would pay off in the Prem, although it's great to see that they're still smart enough to see the vital importance of the Academy. But Marcus's presence at games makes it pretty clear that the club is more to him than just a business investment.
