Is that better than a Pole dancer?

No kidding. It all sounds very premeditated and prearranged to me, which means that the normally reliable police sources let them down. Milwall have been utter sh*t for years but you know the Football League - let your fans run riot and we'll look the other way but get your finances wrong and we'll crucify you.

You should. It's a classic.

Surely you haven't forgotten: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=16147 There could be argy-bargy - golf clubs at ten paces - between St Will and Kadeem.

Any mention of trouble in block 35, row FF, somewhere near seat 928?

What's wrong with saving our (ML's) money for later? Loans are great, low-risk solutions in wall-to-wall problem situations. If the loans do the trick, the cheque book will come out in January. Sounds like a smart plan to me.

If he is, it's a free agent signing rather than a loan, isn't it?

Isn't that where we came in? So, after this protracted and extremely entertaining circumnavigation, we are now destined to disappear back up our own arses.

That bad, eh?

But football consumes a lot of real estate considering how infrequently the stadia are used! Perhaps we could build social housing just inside the touchlines at SMS, 'cos those bits are NEVER used.

Oh, boll*cks. Fits right in with the rest of the thread. Might even give it a second (even more tasteless) wind. If this thread doesn't make it to Golden Posts I'm withdrawing my membership.

Last year we heard on the news that ambulances were heading to Edmonton airport to meet a plane flying back from Mexico. Most of the passengers had been stricken in mid-flight by what was so quaintly described as "explosive diarrhea". This thread is what the inside of that plane must have looked like.

Oh, sh*t. Here we go.

I am entering this discussion simply to say it may well be the (inadvertently) funniest thread I've ever read on here. It has everything - golf, politics, religion, social housing, dress sense, homophobia, and even a whiff of pedophilia (not sure how that got in there). It was good before Kadeem reached the inexplicable decision to confess guilt, but even better after.

I may well regret asking this , but why do you refer to her as "equestrian"?

It's a bigger handicap down here because it's the best stadium most of our opponents have played in, and I'm sure they lift their game as a result.

While I think these are early days and that things will turn out okay, here's the magnitude of the challenge: It took 49 points to stay up in this division last year, so we still need at least 57 points from the remaining 42 games - an average of 1.36 points per game. It took 76 points to make the play-offs - 84 more than we have, so we'd need at least 2.00 ppg to get there. We don't have long to get our sh*t together.

Thanks for your perspectives nickh and Marco. I suspect we're going to be like the stock market - a U-shaped bottom rather than a V-shaped bottom! As you said, Marco, "that does not change over night".

Thanks, Dave. That's good enough for me - but disappointing to read. For the life of me I don't understand why these managers don't see the value and importance of width. Even going back to Strachan we were far too quick to sacrifice our width. Every time we played Fabrice Fernandes on the right and watched him cut inside and get lost I wanted to punch myself in the nuts. Any good signs? Have we made good signings? Is this going to come good in the end?

I think I'll take the word of someone who was there rather than the knee-jerk reactions of people who weren't. This was always going to take time.

I thought they'd closed all the schools where that stuff went on.

Ouch! But then we're hockey country!

Wouldn't it be ironic if Jaidi failed the medical because he had something wrong with his colon. Sorry. I've just slapped myself.

Im imprest. It looks like it's crumbling badly so 300 for 4 would have been a great springboard for an innings sh*t-kicking of the Aussies. Now I'm not so sure, but at least we picked an established spinner. (BTW I can't talk like that with Canadians - they've embraced "soccer" but cricket is out of the question! ) Thank you, Mr. Wightman. Apologies for my part in taking things off track! I don't know what came over me. Probably watching the cricket is what did it.

LOL What the hell was this thread about in the first place? God, we're like a fart in a thunderstorm.
