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?

Lol is an over-used phrase but that genuinely made me lol.

do not feed

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.

His lack of involvement yesterday suggest he is surplus to requirements.

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?

Uli Van Gobbel - great fun watching other players bounce off him. I didn't think he was too bad but meh.

Excellent, any inside info on Buttner - on or off?

Surprisingly not in most cases (under Clyne thread): http://www.holmesdale.net/page.php?id=105&fid=1

They appear to rate Clyne really really highly and are not happy with the £1.5 million being quoted, were hoping for £3 million.

Sha la la la la la la la. If Carlsberg did karma.....

Was in the home end when we lost 7-2 at Tottenham - couldn't help celebrating when we went 1-0 and then 2-1 up and got a truckload of verbals both times. By half time we were 4-2 down and the second half was the longest 45 minutes of my life. I would have left at 5-2 but I was there with a Tottenham supporting customer so had to sit through it. One thing that did stick in my mind was their fans still moaning when they were winning 6-2.

When he took over I was just happy to still have a team to support let alone even dream we would be in the Premier League 3 years later. As Turkish said, tinged with sadness that Markus is not here to see it - "thanks" doesn't even begin to cover it.

It's not my fault Trousers edited his post and shamelessly stole my hilarious one liner

Probably some guy with a thermos of hot water and a pot noodle for the trip!

Lol - if you picked any match thread from the past 3 years where we go a goal down then Alpine is doing his " the end of world is nigh" performance. Normally followed by a disappearing act from the post match thread.

It has been markedly worse since David Luker departed. The new online system is no improvement on the last one i.e. it doesn't work properly either.

An excellent mock up no egg on face

Actually you are right.

It is the closest mock up to the actual kit.

I don't see the issue if it's legal. It is all very well Cameron bleating about the morality of it but perhaps he should be criticising HMRC for not closing the loophole in the first place. Frankly after the MP's expenses scandal it is a bit ironic for any politician to moralise over other's financial affairs.

Looks like a conference centre, the shape of it suggests it has been designed to maximise acoustics. Maybe for use as a concert venue etc?
