Nineteen Canteen

Are you alleging I am quondam? Stop your barking and give it a hug.

Thanks for correcting me, I meant the West Coast or the one on the left, Huntingdon Beach and a whole new meaning to the 'beautiful game'.

How do I do that?

Don't believe the press ESB there is no confusing Manic Depression with Schizophrenia and in this case your suggestion would result in a seriously ill schoziod person that would most probably and regrettably require sectioning. Anyway, in me there is basically a good person trying to get out so abstract or not it defeats your theory but hey at least we have something in common. Back to start looking for the forum book entitled 'Minority Rules'.

John with the greatest of respect I responded to Pilchards thread as I hoped things would be in the future by ditching the things that have distressed me in our recent past. Thereafter, it was reduced to farce but sometimes you just feel like giving a little back.

Since when do we believe newspaper stories. I have no proof? Has Fry ever acknowledged the fact and if Crouch did contribute under what restrictions if any was the money contributed? We can't treat newspaper stories as gospel when it suits us and dismiss them when it doesn't and that is why I am very hopeful about the Swiss but wouldn't wager a single penny on the outcome because I simply don't have any evidence or proof other than newspaper articles. That said if that evidence could be produced officially by the club and the the terms under which any donation was made then those who have generously supported the club deserve the thanks of all fans and staff. Hopefully, the accounts will be published post takeover and revenue streams and payments highlighted so that everyone who help support the club can be thanked eventually.

Unfortunatley I made the mistake of deciding it was time to remove all those from my ignore list to see how the mood had changed and got sucked right back into it. I'll go back over the past 24 hours and update my list and put those on my ignore list who have caused me offence and created my desire to bite back. By tonight i will be back to simple blogging based on what've read on the Echo site unable to view a single post unless Tijuana Tim gives us all some East Coast love later.

Exactly, total transparency with me Mike as always.

Language is bad on here today shows this country's declining respect for the Sabbath and education.

Hello, I am Nineteen Canteen and a long time Saints fan and ST holder and in the minority who believe the club shafted itself by removing Lowe in 2006. What threads do you suggest I take part in assuming this is an all inclusive forum for all Saints fans.

How did you that with the upside down ?? ? Just turned my keyboard around and no luck.

oooh I know, dreadful isn't i

Don't think Stanley is up yet.

I have genuinely no idea how the club has funded itself nor how generous and in which form contribution's if any have been made. i.e. Loan, donation or a seat on the board. Lots of rumour but has there been any facts to support the widely differing views over the past weeks? Hopefully the Swiss will arrive and all that glitters will be gold and we can forget the past 3 years I know I can - trouble remembering the past 3 days.

Fair enough, have no problem with that but I was responding to Scally post's not yours. Ae you in the same room?

I don't know you telled me

'keep it shut if I were you' Is there some form of protection racket going on? Shut up those who refuse to play to your rules?

Bully boy tactics to stop people voicing their opinions. Do you ever read editorials, comment or critics in Newspapers. How do you respond to them if you don't agree with their view?

Doesn't surprise me but the integrity of Derry and one of his friends certainly did. Go ahead, I know a thing or two about prejudice and tradegy and what's important in the overall scheme of things and certainly happy to have it's nest as well as it's clock at SMS. Helped me survive.

Do you? Just a bit banter and if you are prepared to stand up (no pun intended) and give it then you have to expect a little gentle ribbing in return, don't you? Every audience has it's hecklers.

Maybe not but he showed what could be achieved on a part-time basis and with no money because of the recklessness of other alleged football experts, allegedly working full time on returning the club to it's rightful place.

Prove it.

Loyal customer and season ticket holder of many years, for me and my family and therefore have spent thousands for more seasons than I would like to mention (12 in fact - just for Toomey). I am someone who may have disagreed vehemently with the likes of Wilde, Crouch, Corbett and McMenemy over recent years but has never deserted this club although it got quite close when your brother was put given the MC's mic. Did his caterwauling annoy you whilst you were growing up? When did you have an inkling he would become a comedian?

Sponsors? Please keep up, even your knowledge is second hand.

I think he is more than capable of drawing his own conclusions from the last 3 years of SFC and if he makes any decision based on that then it is unlikely to be popular with the majority on this forum. This means that thankfully we are unlikely to see a return of incompetence and self-interest as key drivers for appointments under the guise of fans and legends. I suspect out of their 32,600 strong workforce they have one or two candidates who could sort us out in their lunch hour. The greatest draw the Swiss can bring is a massive line to draw under the past and concentrate solely on the future. Hopefully, the likes of Crouch, McMenemy and Osman will never be allowed near a microphone again and certainly not on the pitch at SMS. As for MLT? Well he was always the best contributor to Soccer Saturday and I hope he continues the banter with Jeff Stelling on that and Countdown.
