I have never met 'Staurt' McManus. Hope this helps.

Just blow a load of pepper through the air vents. One sneeze and there'll be a tidal wave of sh*te. A poo-nami if you will.

TBF he wasn't exactly comparing it to Malawian children dying of A.I.D.S. On a slight tangent, we went to Disneyland Paris last year and they've basically just plastered a bunch of Star Wars posters, stickers and music over Space Mountain. The ride itself was still decent but that part of it was pretty naff.

If MLG was any character, I'd say the ARP warden fits best. Perhaps a better thread would be Simpson's characters as there's more variety to choose from Whitey Grandad - Grandpa SOG - Hans Moleman Turkish - Krusty Shurlock and Fry - Patty and Selma MLG - Skinner The9 - Comic book guy Sour Mash - Moe Heisenberg - Lionel Hutz Lord Duck - Texas billionaire

Just going to repost what I said in another thread:

Katie Price seems to be making a bit of a thing about internet trolls. I guess it's a great way of keeping her irrelevant life in the tabloids, whilst simultaneous distracting attention from what an awful person she is and making her look like the victim. Having said that, those tweets are abhorrent and idiots like that deserve to be named and shamed.

We have a squad featuring McC, Bertrand, Cedric, Hoedt, Hojbjerg, Romeu, Lemina, Tadic, Gabbi, Yoshida and JWP and we're in the relegation zone. The rest may be average at best but f**k me, that squad should be top half.
-
Given that we already had a cup final last season, if we got relegated AND lost to Wigan, would you still be happy overall?
-
In which case relegation is of no consequence, so I'll say Cup win. I agree, more trophies would be great but it's not really an embarrassment. When I meet fans of other clubs, be it at games or otherwise, I tend to chat about recent games, recently players, current form etc. The only fans I hear talking about stuff they won 20+ years ago are Scousers and they just bore me TBH.
-
Recently though, we're not much different from most clubs our size. Taking the 'big six' aside for a second, Swansea, Boro, Blackburn, Leicester, Wigan and P*mpey have won a cup in the last 20 years and only 3 of those in the last decade. Everton, Villa, Derby, Forest, Wolves, Newcastle, Sunderland, West Ham, Stoke, Brum, Bolton, Norwich, Fulham, Wednesday, Sheff Utd, Leeds, QPR, Reading... nothing in the last 2 decades.

I think that's the most optimistic post I've seen in a long time. Firstly, who is this young, passionate, English, Premier League quality (I assume you don't intend to sack him when we get promoted) manager, willing to come to a relegated Saints with half a squad? Secondly Austin will likely be injured (if he stays), JWP and Hojbjerg will almost certainly leave. Thirdly, you're going to mix our youth team with a a bunch of other kids and somehow get promoted again? I don't take issue with people wanting a trophy but let's not pretend the Championship will be some swashbuckling adventure straight back to the Premier League. I would chose survival, not because the Prem excites me in itself but because I'm worried about years of 2005-2009 era football if we do go down.

Bring back four Saints players and a manager to save our season.

McC Cedric - SVENSSON - Yoshida - Bertrand Lemina - Hojbjerg JWP - LE TISS - PAHARS BEATTIE A no nonsense CB, 2 creative/scoring AM and an aerial threat/finisher. -
Literally nobody has said that.
-
Wigan were a team high on confidence, playing at home against 10 men. 3 key elements in their favour we wouldn't have had at the Etihad. Not saying we couldn't beat City in the quarters but I think it would have been less likely personally.
-
Part of me thinks 'would Kane score with the service from our sh*t midfield?' Part of me thinks 'is there any point in Hazard or De Bruyne scything defences in half with a millimeter perfect pass, only for an offside Shane Long to hammer it into the car park?' Tricky one, I'd probably go with Salah because he can pretty much do it on his own anyway.
-
Winner should get the 4th Champs League spot IMO. The only way to get people to take it seriously.

Wow! We're definitely going to lose now.

Would Puel still have been sacked if we'd won the Cup?
Lighthouse replied to Bad Wolf's topic in The Saints
You missed the part about 'when it mattered'. HBS had the game bought and paid for, the fact that they fell asleep when 1-0 up in injury time and only needing a draw is no great reflection on our performance. The fact is we were playing for a 0-0 and showed little sign of anything for 90 minutes. Austin and Boufal may be poor replacements for Pelle and Mané but they, Tadic, Redmond, Sims, Long, Jay Rod and JWP are capable of more than 5 blanks in 6 games, given better tactics and leadership. -

Lighthouse replied to Bad Wolf's topic in The Saints
Fact is we failed to score in all three away games and, when it mattered at least, Be'er Sheva at home. After the first game against Sparta, Virgil was the only player who scored for us in the other 5 games. That's pretty poor, however many ifs and buts you dress it up with. -
Apparently we didn’t need a replacement for Virgil.

Scores a decent goal, then gives the ball away stupidly for them to score. What a finish though.
-
Great composure there.

He’s not great but capital punishment seems a bit harsh.

H00T!!! That marking though.
