Saint in Paradise

Perhaps Les and Ralph are not the main problem, perhaps it's that Chinese owner who is dithering about? Perhaps he doesn't want/is able to spend money on Saints as he wants any spare to use to expand his Chinese football business? At the end of the day us nobody customers ( mushrooms? ) of a small club are not important enough to be told until the owner can be bothered. .

Ah but is he unemployed at the moment as that is also very important?

"The Long Journey Home" by Flora Leipman. IN THE 1930s Flora Leipman left the Glasgow of her childhood for Leningrad, expecting to help build a socialist paradise: instead, her whole family fell victim to Stalin's purges. Very harsh life and she was unable to return to the U.K. until freed by top-level talks between Geoffrey Howe and Andrei Gromyko in 1984. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/obituary-flora-leipman-1098829.html

Well sorry but I am not totally convinced that Reed will be let go as in that article it says:- "So far, the Gaos have had complete faith in the existing executive team to drive the club’s direction and transfer strategy" Also as for getting the 3 or 4 players in part in that article they seem to have left the words "on the last day of the transfer window and only if they are cheap" bit out.

You can include me and a couple of others, whom I won't name, in this as well

With this present lot in charge ( and to me they are sounding like secret Portsmouth fans ) I can only fear that within the next 10 years Saints will no longer be in any of the present 4 Leagues. They will have become bankrupt and cease to exist.

Did Saints even offer to match that offer? Did they agree to make funds available to get him the players he wanted so that Saints could continue to improve? Do owners realise that they have to spend even to stand still let alone progress these days and if they don't why didn't someone tell them? I think the answers are, No, No and No.

Well I am sorry to say this but yet again it seems to me that Ralph is just trying to B.S. fans and alas some are still falling for this nonsense. Trust is earned Ralph its not a given just because of a job title so don't forget that Actions, Ralph, speak a lot louder than your management mumbo jumbo. If the virtually anonymous owner and you don't act soon Mark Hughes will have no option but to walk away from this small club (your words Ralph) clusterf**k. He,or indeed any decent manager,won't put up with such nonsense like C.P. and then M.P. appeared too. Indeed some fans haven't forgotten that R.K. left because of the Boards head in the sand actions.

How about "Fratton Park - West" ? Ralph did say it needed some paint and others on here have said it's looking a bit sad in places.

It doesn't matter one jot what Saints fans say that they would like It's what that Gao person wants to do. It's his train-set to do with as he wants as he doesn't have to answer to anyone else especially not mere customers of, quoting Ralph, a small club. Judging by Gao's complete silence perhaps he just doesn't care about Saints very much? However it's at his peril because there are countless instances of companies who have gone down the tubes simply because they ignored reasonable requests from their customers. Fans who want him to spend 100's of millions of Pounds are not included by me as they are being totally stupid. .

The Mods can't do that as what will "Trousers" do if it's closed? He has posted 6,790 times on here!!! No I haven't manually counted them.

Or is this person just being utterly stupid? Having said that I am afraid to say that weirdo attitudes like this persons seem to be spreading faster that the Black Death did in the Middle Ages.I also feel that carp like this is just as deadly as the Black Death was towards humanity. A so-called Australian sexuality expert has been ridiculed after saying parents should ask for their baby's permission before changing their nappy. Deanne Carson was being interviewed by ABC News when she said teaching a "culture of consent" should begin from birth. She said to tell babies, "I'm going to change your nappy now - is that okay?" and then wait for a response. "Of course a baby's not going to respond, 'Yes mum, that's awesome - I'd love to have my nappy changed.' But if you leave a space and wait for body language and wait to make eye contact, then you're letting that child know that their response matters." :mcinnes::mcinnes: https://www.msn.com/en-nz/lifestyle/familyandrelationships/call-for-parents-to-ask-babys-consent-before-changing-nappy-ridiculed/ar-AAx5qbO?li=BBqdg4K

I was going to donate blood until they started asking awkward questions such as:- "Hang on a moment whose blood is this?" and "Where did you get it?"

No sane person could put up an factual argument that would totally destroy Nordics post. As for the "Complete and Utter Tosh" reply ---well just look at who posted that.:lol:

Do you understand that your comment makes you look like you are very P.C.? Football fans websites should be one of the last bastions against the P.C. disease that is causing so much damage to society.

Yes and as far as I am concerned the word bastards isn't strong enough when applied to that lot.

Well this is a very interesting website which talks about the attack. Anyone else remember "D Notices" ? https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/ However I doubt that us mere peasants will ever be told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Sounds to me a bit like the crowd who took over Coventry and look what happened there. Dark days ahead I feel even if Saints stay up this year.

But that is what people who follow most religious cults ( Christianity, Islam and Hindu to name just 3 ) do and have done so for centuries.

What date will they be released on and which games will you really look forward to seeing?

I read in the Daily Echo that quote "The Saints players trudge off the pitch and there are some very concerned looks from Les Reed and Ralph Krueger in the directors' box. Finally at last they appear to realise what a pair of out of their depth idiots they have been for the past couple of years.

Agree 100% with this.

Harry Redknapp Roy Keane Katie Price Theresa May Vlad Putin Bad as he appears to be for Saints Les Reed is a nobody compared with the above 5 IMHO

A North Carolina craft brewery is pushing the boundaries of what is considered edible, proudly offering customers the chance to eat a tarantula burger. The 'Tarantula Challenge' is part of Bull City Burger and Brewery's 'Exotic Meat Month', and has proven so popular customers need to enter a ballot for the chance to eat one. If their name is called the customer will be given the $30 burger, which is made with pasture-raised beef, spicy chili sauce and topped with an oven roasted tarantula. Should they finish the burger and their side of fries they win a limited edition T-shirt and have their picture taken for "social media fame and glory". Alongside the tarantula several other exotic meats are on offer, including camel, turtle, reindeer, rabbit, bugs and elk. According to 7 News the tarantula is not cooked on site, but they are killed before the oven roasting process begins. At least three people have managed to successfully eat the burger and go home with the free T-shirt. .
