I went to the technical rehearsal on Wednesday and thought it was excellent - far better than what I was expecting although I am not sure how it will come across on TV. It did a pretty good job of celebrating Britain imo.
Ah Bob Beech, I remember that Barry from Eastenders lookalike being interviewed on Sky just before we played those DSB's in the cup when they were Premier League and we were in "little" League One. The interviewer mentioned the "big" game and with great arrogance Beech said something along the lines of "its not a big game for us but its is for them". Now Bob didn't seem quite so cocky when I saw him again on Sky recently putting up some pathetic plaque about the death of P***ey and practically blubbing - how things change Bob, WTFILN?
We should have a competition, how many songs can you remember from the medley? We need something to get the crowd pumped up - other clubs seem to do it a lot better than us.
It seems to me to be crap irrespective of whether the stadium is full or empty - the pre-recorded interviews are a waste of time although in fairness you can see them on saintsplayer anyway. I hope they change the pre-match music, that bloody awful medley that includes "recent" classics such as "my Sharona" hardly gets the fans going pre-match. Needs updating.
Le Tiss last goal against Arsenal at the Dell, Crouch's last minute pen against the skates in the cup and Camara in the last minute 4-3 against Norwich, I had it at 100-1.
I seem to recall a couple of wingers in the mid 90's that played a handful of times, seemed to have some kind of potential, but then completely disappeared - Russ Watkinson was one, was the other Andy/Andrew Williams?
