  1. We got mini bus for 16 from Poole plus driver for £400 , got the mini bus company from a Boscombe supporter who uses them, ****ing unbelievable price really . £25 a head Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Great , the more we hear from him on this subject the better Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. I'd be amazed if he plays ahead of Stephens on Sunday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. We'd normally be ok on the trains because as coming from Poole we'd already be and seated before the rush. However there's ****ing engineering works, buses to parkway . **** that , we've hired a mini bus with driver. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. No chance of him staying if Barcelona come calling. He's wanted that job his whole managerial career. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. You can be critical about not counting away games and allowing memberships to be purchased after we got to a cup final, but to moan about the way they've staged the allocations is just pathetic whinging for the sake of it. There's been no website crash, no last minute panic to send tickets out. It's all been pretty orderly and calm so far. Now they've "hooked" new members they'll probably come out and set a cut off point for memberships next season. Will people risk calling their bluff and not renew,hoping they'll do what they've done this year or risk missing out on future big games. The club aren't stupid (even if people think they are), they're clearly trying to manufacture a future situation where you have to be a member to get a ticket for any game. They've now got 30+ thousand members & S/T holders, they'll be trying their hardest to limit the drop offs in the summer. Cheaper tickets, & big game priority are a couple of ways of doing it. The club maybe cleverer than we think. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Personally I'm glad we have a break. The last thing we need is another game that OR , Yoshida, Gabbi or Cedric could get injured or suspended in. It's going to be tough, but without one of them we've no chance Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Exactly. Valentine's Day , what a load of pony. I've been to football on the snap dragons birthday, our anniversary and even made the second half of a game the day my daughter was born. I'd probably draw the line at an away day on her birthday or our anniversary, but a home game, not a chance of me not going. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Fulham. ****ing great **** up. Norwich. The coach & horses is a great pub. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Not if Fonte's behaviour was having a detrimental effect of the squad & Puels authority. How do you know that Puel took the decision that he'd rather not have Fonte round the place, had no intention of playing him and would rather get by without him. It makes me laugh the "Reed screwed up" line. It's said with so much certainty and belief, but is based on absolutely nothing. We don't know Puels thoughts, we don't know the budgetary constraints, we don't know how much other centre halves wanted or how much their selling clubs wanted. We don't know who was available & whether any were realistically going to come to Saints. I seem to recall some experts claiming Benteke was an ideal signing we should of got , how's that one working out for Palace. One thing for sure is that once VvD got injured dozens of agents will have been on the phone offering us centre halves. The fact we didn't get one could be down to a number of reasons , not just Les ****ed up. It's perfectly conceivable that Puel wanted Fonte out at all costs, that Reed didn't want to get in an auction with Palace over Sakho. That Reed & Puel didn't feel others available were worth spending mega dough on( because the price would have gone up once VvD got injured). What if Kat's budget only stretched to Gabbi & a cheaper option that fell through. Puel & Les may have decided that with Stephens, Yoshida & Gardos a striker was priority ( and who knows Martin may have been on the radar by the end of the window)Somebody once said, and I think it was Tony Pullis, that we're well run and one of the reasons is around who we don't buy, just as much as who we do buy. Throwing money around like a sailor on shore leave is not the answer to a set back. Walking away from a bad deal, sometimes is. Les Reed has done enough good over the years, so I intend to give him the benefit of the doubt, rather than just assume ( without knowing any details) that he'd ****ed up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. We're not bothering and have hired a mini bus. They'll be queues outside Central & I dread to think what Parkway will be like because there's buses to there from Poole, Bmth direction as there's no trains until Brock . Add in an England Rugby match and it's not going to be pretty, particularly trying to get home. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. He's had a pretty decent run, particularly at the start of the season. I'm just hoping that he's the type of player who will shine in a big game like a final . His performance against Man c last season was sublime, hopefully he'll repeat against Utd Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Who is Barcelona's dof, he must be a right mug. Fancy ****ing up the transfer window , he should have got a CB in Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. If he's signed, as some have claimed, & we're just waiting for a work permit, then surely it's too late. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Don't be stupid, there's no chance of a no fault defeat on here . It'll be Les, Puel or Blacks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Jose won't give Tadic the space Sunderland did. When space is at a premium he's better coming off the wing IMO Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Beat Liverpool Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. I'd bring Clasie in for JWP. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. What does he want, to play when there's better options, or for us to let him go & leave ourselves short. The simple fact is he's had 10 times the playing time of Gabbi & has blown it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Today ,West Ham & Boscombe are 3 away performances every bit as good as anything Koeman did. I've said all along that given the loss of Mane,Pelle & Vic Puels doing a better job than people make out. Today was proof of that. Stephens played well because of the faith Puel has shown in him, ditto JWP & Redmond. OR is playing far better than he ever did under Koeman. Now he's been given a striker who can score and more importantly make intelligent runs, we've got the makings of a decent little side. If he can get more consistency out of Tadic, we really will be in business. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Mane? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Classie should be in ahead of both of them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Pony It's time we won something. Lose today & we still won't go down. Lose at Wembley it maybe another 10 years before we get the chance again Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. All that matters today is that we don't get any injuries or a sending off Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. You're right,the whole thing stinks. I'm lucky enough to have a S/T but can still see the unfairness of it. Allowing people to become members just because we got to a cup final is just a short term money making scheme. If they really wanted to drive the membership scheme & make it a long term alternative to having a S/T then they should have just gone S/T holders, followed by members ( but closed entry in sept)as I'm pretty sure there weren't that many members come the start of the season. They could have sold the memberships on the back of "priority" for tickets after S/T holders, so nobody could complain. It would mean that next season and subsequent seasons memberships would have become popular.What they've done now is killed it stone dead. Who is going to shell out £25 at the start of the season, when they can just pay £25 when we get to a cup final. FFS surely that makes more business sense. The problem you've got is so many people will get tickets, and the people who get them won't be complaining. If they had thousands of complaints, then they may realise the cock up this is. But as they wont get many, and people with a genuine grievance like yours, will also get mixed up with other non deserving sob stories, that they'll just ignore it. I know it's a forlorn plea, but I hope everybody who thinks this system unfair writes in to the club, even if they did get a ticket. I certainly will be. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
