ART

I've put a new video together of the performance of my two good mates from Base Berlin, Remy Martin & Eike von Stuckenbrok. Without doubt these guys are amongst the best Street Art acts in Europe. At 25 and 21years respectively they are going to be around for a long while. I couldn't hope for better friends. Hoping you find their act are exciting and motivating as myself

What can be expected from players who don't have the pressure of Reserve team players competing for places. The abolishing of the normal Reserve team play has left a big hole that I fear isn't going to be filled in time to compete for promotion. It's a very sad state of affairs and from a personal point of view I've never in 58 years following Saints felt so depressed about the situation. Marcus's sad parting seems to have taken all hope for the future away with him. Whatever reason Pardew was fired appears to have been the same as shooting ourselves in the foot. We've killed the goose who was laying the golden egg. All we have left is a slowly rotting cracked egg stuck together with sticky tape.

As the Scots Bard Rabbie Burns would have said had he been around today: "A wins a win fae all that?

Eike von Stuckenbrok's latest venture starting in December 2010 with URBANATIX, involves the best Street Art Performing Group in Europe/ It combines not only the amazing talent of Eike, of Remi Martin Lenz but also includes Breakdance, BMX Cycling, Acrobatics, Martial Arts, Gymnastics, Freerunning, Skating and Tricking Here is the pre tour rehearsals recorded recently

ARTZLINE YOUTUBE was asked by Base Berlin recently to promote an ARTE television interview with Eike von Stuckenbrok where he performs and gives his thoughts on his talent. Sadly it's in German but still well worth watching for the extracts of his work http://www.youtube.com/user/ArtzLine#p/u/4/8WXVmPYgxkA

There is an old saying that you can't teach old dogs new tricks. I believe this is very true in football with players. This is a major reason clubs have to go out and spend big money to get the type of player who fits into the mold a manager wants. This is a team built by Pardew, as the previous one was built by Burley, and so on. We spent a lot of money to get players who'd play the Pardew way. We now have to either play that way, and tinker about in small ways. Or, take the players who'll play the Adkins way and ship out the others. Looks to me from afar as if we're going to see a lot of unhappy bunnies, despite was Deano tells us on Saints Player. Harry failed because Lowe wouldn't let him build his own team, now I fear Adkins is going to be up against the same thing with Cortese.

This is the same crap Kevin Phillips came out with when Steve Wrigley was appointed. Look where it got us. The only one I'd like to hear from is Nicola Cortese explaining all that has transpired. We've a right to know. Players need to do there talking with their feet, heads and whatever it takes to play winning football.

Have you forgotten that we played games under Dean Wilkins since Pardew got the team winning 4-0 at Bristol?

The deal was, you win, you get to pick the team, you lose, I (NC) get to pick the team. Simple!

We're lacking Alan Pardew. He was the catalyst and got HIS players playing. I can't see any change until we bring in new blood and sadly ship out Pardew's men. You can say what you like they are loyal to their benefactor.

Rather ask, at hat point in time did ART manage to convince certain people he was mental, or lead believe some to believe what he was posting was serious. You don't honestly think that I've ever taken the majority on this forum seriously? I drew that conclusion a long time ago and reacted accordingly. Read John Howard Griffin's novel called " BLACK LIKE ME" and perhaps you'll understand the experiment you've been a part of. I read it many years ago when I was 25 years old. I've lived out what I learned across living and working in over 20 countries.

I never told you I have been a member of parliament. What I told you was that I stood for election as a county Councillor, and was elected. As with all that you post, get your facts right and don't let your dreams turn into reality.

As always you let your memory down. I have never told you I'd been a member of parliament! And, I've been around on these forums long before you were out of nappies, so you wouldn't remember that far back. Phil only confirms that I do a hell of a job of letting my real self hidden. I have many personas, we all keep in touch with one another, and discuss which of us is best for which occasion. I've used proxies for more that 10 years so no one knows where the original entity lives or could be found. Whereas, you dear T, get banned, reinvent yourself and can be stopped within 5 minutes with your new handle.

Lol! I just knew if I gave you an inch you'd take a mile. There's one thing about you. You never fail to do encores and take a bow whenever I provide you with a forum. Haha

No, darling, just thinking about keeping you happy! Wait till you see what I've got lined up next. Just tailor made for you!

Reading some of the comments I fail to see what people are going to do about giving the Saints chants an uplift. They bleat on to the club about buying players but when it comes to the 12th man doing his part........nada, rien, nothing. We didn't need forums in my days to convert Yellow Submarine, and all the top hits of the day. We had lads with mighty loud voices who's spontaneously belt out new chants on the terraces, within minutes everyone was joining in. There are one or two mentions that think maybe a bit of rap in the following style is what they're looking for. Anything is possible where they are concerned. How's about this little dittY :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdOaP68cgaA

Let's face it, the Skates managed to do a near miracle to that Do you know the way to Amarillo or what ever it was called. I reckon a full stand rendition of We're the Saints with everyone doing the Wo hoo ohoo would really go down well

Merci, I've have to open a bottle of the French tap water in case you decide to pop by. To tell you the truth I was on the verge of singing and adding multi voice effect. Just I'm a lazy sod these days, and couldn't be arsed to get the microphone fixed up. Baj, I was delighted to read that you still consider yourself a musician. In the old days I used to follow your creations but like so often you changed websites. I spend most of my time these days promoting and tweeting prospective musicians, singers on Twitter. Let me know if you have anything you want promoted. Check out Sam Tsui, he's had 26 million hits thanks to all the retweeting.,

That reply was one of the best Simon Cowell impersonations I've ever come across Baj. It comes to something when it's the Old Codgers who have to try and inspire something new in the Stands. We need badly something of class to replace the majority of mish mash we get 75% of the time. We lag sadly behind other clubs.

Todat Art was very inspired and came up with what I think could be a very inspirational, motivational chant during games. There is also a certain provocative tone to get the opposition supporters worked up I've taken the Chorus from John Farnham's "You're the Voice" and changed to "We're the Saints" I've even done my very first Saints Fanvid with the song with words, failing miserably to replace voice with Saints. I decided to stop before I did any damage. Hope you like the idea. Here's my video Here are the simple lyrics We're the Saints, try and understand it Make a noise and make it clear Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o! We're not gonna sit in silence, we're not gonna live in fear Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o!

I'm sure he was the Crosby in Crosby, Stiffs and Naffs/ and didn't he used to be in the Byrds too, flying Eight Miles High with his Tambourine Man mate.

Condolences to you and all your family Darren. Nothing hurts more than the loss of a mother. Yet the memories are so profound that she will be with you forever. Rest in Peace Valerie.

Three years should be enough time for him to get all his coaching badges I suppose. José Mourino went from tea boy to the best manager in the world of football, so why can't a physio who's always had his thumb at the heart of things do the same. I've passed caring since Marcus passed away and all that has taken place since. I only hope someone can rekindle the fires that have sadly died and left me numb all over. For Marcus's sake I hope for better days. God rest his soul.

What's the point buying star players who respected Alan Pardew only to employ a physio come manager to replace him. This is Luggygate Mark II. Can we never get anything right. At the rate things are going Cortese will have Pardew back and fire all those who escaped the purge first time round. Crazier things have happened and with Saints it will be something that will make us the laughing stock of the country, not to mention the footballing world worldwide.
