FFS, hypo. If you cannot see from the photos that the players were really into it, there's no helping you. You are one of the worst trolls on this site.

Great news that she's come out again, both times. Hope everything is OK now.

Sod the heart-warming, I'm sitting here with very damp eyes and a runny nose. Those three with the little babies..dammit going again, very strange looks in the office. Well done lads. And I hope those kids get better real soon.

And our thoughts on NC now, seeing as he hasnt simply knee-jerked and given him the boot ??
-
Sounds a reasonable estimate.
-
Well done, Saints. Couple more good results, we can look forward to Xmas. And the January window isnt so far away now.
-
Will be Le Fondre. Guarnteed.

If Arsene Wenger breaks wind, they report it immediately. Its a persistent bug-bear I have.

Go do one, Hypo.

Up to 15th as it stands ?

Another one of these Saints goals the BBC doesnt lower itself to report..

I seem to recall from past incidents he seems to be gifted with remakrable recuperational (sp?) powers

OMG, looks like they are re-booting Khan, according to the Daily Mail: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2243897/Benedict-Cumberbatch-embraces-evil-new-trailer-Star-Trek-Into-Darkness-unveiled.html

Oh dear Mr Vettel might not be champion after all.

How does this defence fit with Luca Di Montezemolo's abuse of Bernie Ecclestone today in the Press ? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/20579360 Ahhhh. Poor Luca. Someone said "no" to Ferrari... -
Reading and Sunderland are pivotal to our season

I'd rather we were pivotal to our season, if you get my meaning. -
Really loved TNG on first viewing, but now I find Picards pomposity irritating. Rick Berman taking over from Roddenberry definitely perked the series up, but ultimately resulted in bad films, except First Contact which almost had me wetting myself during the battle with the Borg at the beginning. DS9 did get much, much better, once the Dominon War kicked off and Defiant turned up. It was too slow-burning before, though not bad script-writing. Voyager has never settled well on me. I found the "Chakotay and Neelix wandering round the corridors" stuff tedious. But again, there was some great script-writing in there - the stories with Species 8472 and the episode "Scorpion", for example. Then came Seven of Nine - the scifi geeks perfect w*nking material. Could not stand Enterprise at all. Too high a profile actor for Captain, kept thinking of Quantum Leap. Also found the Vulcan woman utterly irritating in a way even Tuvok in voyager couldnt manage (though both completely bereft of the humour Nimoy brought to Spock) Original series was ground-breaking, and the latest DVD release with all the effects shots re-worked adds something to the story pace but diminishes the cheesyness. Of the original 6 films the three-film arc mentioned above was superb, though I dont think Wrath of Khan stands out as much as some claim. Voyage Home was superb, silly and serious at the same time. Still get goosebumps when they fly over Excelsior to see their new post, the Enterprise A. Final Frontier was the worst of the series by a long way until Nemesis came out (which could have been so much better, even as a re-write of Wrath of Khan), Undiscovered Country was a great story with great casting of Christopher Plummer as Chang, but the film was a little degraded by poor script writing. Not sure what to think about the re-boot films, especially if the plot rumours for the next one are true.

Dont worry, TMA2/Zagadka/Halman will destroy it before it lands.

Yep. Would just like to point that Grotzinger is not some "bloke" working on the mission, he's the chief scientist, who clearly should be senior enough to keep his gob shut until certain. His earlier comments were almost similar to SaintsWeb trolling, it seems - attention seeking...

Yep. He's a big tw*t. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2242398/Curiosity-completes-analysis-Martian-soil--fails-ingredients-life.html

Seeing as this was a game we were expected to lose, at a place where we ave never had much joy, 1-0 doesnt seem such a disaster. We havent done further damage to our GD, at least. But I have to say NAs substitution strategy bothers me. Its too late, and its not the substitutions I would intuitively choose for chasing a game.

Hmmm. Not what the plot teaser is inferring, I thought. Sounds to me like Mitchell has already changed. But WTF, its all sheer speculation at the moment.
-
Hard to argue they dont deserve it after that last day singles round. Would have been easy to argue for Poulter's inclusion in the individual award nominations.
-
I dont have a problem with the usual sci-fi plot devices for bringing her back, of course. But she tried killing Mitchell before he killed her, so why should they suddently be buddies again ?

You know the really bizarre thing ? Didnt Ferrari break the seal on Massa's gearbox so that he got put back to the grid, pushing Alonso up one grid position closer to Vettel ? If that isnt f**king cheating, I dont know what is. Its like when the Italian national team wore those really stretchy kit tops in one tournament, to show up shirt pulling, when actually they are the biggest culprits and it takes the mindset of a perpetrator to come up with a solution..
