  1. They've got some top, top players etc etc
  2. Postpones WW3 for another four years.
  3. This. I would go to his first game in charge just to let him know how I felt, but after that, no chance.
  4. Thought I would bring it to your attention, after beating Sholing in the previous round thanks to help from ex-Saint Kevin Gibbens, they play Hastings Utd of the Ryman League this Saturday for a place in the 1st round proper of the FA Cup. For a team that plays in the Wessex league and is based at Gang Warily in near Fawley, I will be hoping for a miracle especially as someone initally from West Common. Portsmouth at home to be played at SMS?
  5. They seem to harbour so much resentment from last season on that KNUB board. Weird.
  6. Having seen them twice on Tv (Bolton, Arsenal) they seem to be playing some much better stuff then last year. Would happily take a point there, and if by a miracle Ramirez is fit, then we could take all three.
  7. Do we not need to distinguish between 'Football: the organisation' and 'Football: the culture'? In organisations such as the FA, Football Clubs etc then James is probably right, racism probably is not a factor by any stretch of the imagination. However, 'Football: the culture' I would argue still has its racist elements. I can remember one tool years ago for example at The Dell who when playing Everton decided that the best thing to do to cheer on his team was to constantly remind Earl Barrat that he was black. We then have those ****s at Millwall last week vesus Bolton. As one poster mentioned above, thankfully these morons are a minority, but to say that football is totally free of racism is wide of the mark.
  8. They used to call it a 'grandad' back in my day - God knows why.
  9. I would say this is pretty conclusive.
  10. Anti-saints bias from ESPN innit.
  11. I'm assuming that those ST holders invited to chat to the chairman will be asking this question straight away?
  12. It has gone pretty much how I thought, except I thought we would beat Wigan at home.
  13. Right here is one of the reasons we should be thankful for our League 1 and Championship experience, it knocked the chip off our shoulder about our Premier Leauge 'mainstay' status.
  14. Agreed, as long as the government announces this sooner rather than later.
  15. I don't think anyone will argue with making exams harder. However, what was disgusting and typically Tory in its under-hand nature, was the moving of the grade boundaries between the January and August results. Make them harder by all means, but don't stitch the pupils up in the process who, despite the depiction in the national media, still work extremely hard to get these grades. It will never happen, but I would dearly love for some of the old guard in this country who cream themselves over O-Levels to sit a current GCSE history paper. Having studied O-Levels for my MA, there isn't a lot of difference and despite claims to the contary, the O-level questions are far more open-ended.
  16. Rugby: both codes are awful.
  17. Last tme they beat us 6-1 we finished eighth and got to the FA Cup final. I'll take that.
  18. Cheers - footballgroundguide.com makes it sound like something that should only be undertaken by olympians.
  19. Those that have been before, is it really that much of a pig to walk from Lime Street? I really cannot be bothered with connections once in Liverpool.
  20. Arrogant bastards.
  21. I'm amazed people are not going to bother Kings Cross or Angel
  22. Fantastic news, what a player we have here.
  23. "No one shoots like Gaston, no one plays Gaston, no one runs around those ****s like Gaston" Something like that?
  24. People don't learn though do they? The TO is ****e so it's worth your while trying to buy them when you're not allowed too.
  25. We will get beaten comfortably, but as people have already alluded too, these games are freebies. If we are still bottom with zero points come mid October then I will begin panicking?
