Barely bring myself to type it, but....Steve Foster

Probably.In which case we have to allow them Jimmy Dickinson c50years ago. Alan Knight ? Or wasn't he released by Arsenal ?

I thought Moscow were keen on speaking with him.

Hilaire started at Palace.

Sat in the car behind Peter Osgood's Cortina in a traffic jam going up the Avenue after a match once.

Now thats just name dropping for the sake of it.Probably worthy of a thread of its own on The Lounge.

Saw Terry Paine leaving a pub in Southampton once.Probably about November 1970.He was wearing a sheepskin coat.

Isn't this the role Chris Lines plays at Bristol Rovers ? As we've recently been linked with him as well.

Should this not be turned into a January HCDAJFU thread,or is that a little early ?

I too shared your suffering that morning,assuming it to be the same game.c 1979/80 from recollection. Hungover,freezing bloody cold for ctwo hours on the terrace.Pretty crap game and losing to a single goal scored by Willie Young. On a similar topic,The only game I've willingly forgone after buying a ticket was the Boxing Day fixture v Watford (c1983) as I was too hungover,or probably p!ssed still, to consider sitting behind the wheel of a car and driving there.

I don't agree with the winter break,largely because of tradition.Christmas,New Year fixtures are part of the football calender and should remain so. A late Jan-early February break just seems pointless to disrupt the momentum of the season. Anyway give the Prem big 4or5 a break and they would probably fly to Qatar,Australia,or somewhere for a prestige big money tournament.

Simeon Jackson linked to QPR for £1.5m on BBC rumours,although this has only been lifted from the Daily Mirror.

Just seen this: Can't see many shirts being sold with his name on the back

There would be one poster to tell us that it would not have been necessary to replace the light bulb at all if we had appointed Hoddle in 2004.

Just hope he does not play a blinder against us in the cup and put his value up. Craddock though is a striker,whereas Rooney is from what I've read above a midfielder.

One to refer to score on Championship Manager or such like for light bulb changing.

Despite the veiled references I'm uncertain as to who Oxlade-Chamberlain is actually playing for, us presumably ? As for double barrelled names do David F'kin-McGoldrick, or Callum Bastard-Davenport count ?

But wouldn't it be good to see the word 'Dell' emblazoned across the shirt rather than some sponsors name with no Saints connection ?

If he is a habitual offender and has charged onto the pitch two or three times before as suggested then that does put it in a different context.If true,then the kid and parents should be on a warning as to future conduct.

A familiar feeling that we know about.What sweet joy when we are the beneficiaries of the 93rd minute goal.

For anyone at the match, how old would you estimate him to be ? Could have been well past his bedtime and a serious case of bad parenting.Call in Social Services blah,blah... Actually it sounds an honest and spontaneous bit of fun by a child and both Waigo and AP can take some credit for their response.

She might have 'Van aerial' disease.

or the Southend match when we and ML celebrate a play off place ?

Thinking about in again,if he was a REAL centre forward,like Big Ron, or those before him in the 1950's ,he'd have shouldered both the ball and goalkeeper over the line.No messing,and no poncing about trying to worry about hooking the loose ball into the net from an impossible angle. Sort it Pardew we don't want a team of pussies out there. only a p!sstake,before anyone thinks I'm slating AP or RL

Deinitely MLTesque freekick. (f'in definitely).
