  1. We will have to wait for alpine to turn up in order to find out.
  2. Tha's just unlucky really.
  3. Gastoooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  4. Playing like a jellyfish at the moment.
  5. I would offer them £3m plus Davis. They haven't got a pot to p*ss in and would probably take half the £6m they're banging on about in the media.
  6. Thank f**k for that!
  7. That just means he hasn't been suspended yet, pending a hearing. Doesn't mean they have been succesful.
  8. Because they beat West Ham 1-0 at home? I don't buy that.
  9. I think you could put Hughes in that bracket and Redknapp is carrying on with his work so far. McDermott should be doing better with that Reading squad too, although it is possibly the weakest in the league.
  10. I'd take wins for Swansea, Spuds, Norwich and Utd. That Fulham win is a bummer.
  11. 4 Prem Grounds 14 in Champ 9 in League 1 6 in League 2 and Wembley
  12. In the Northam, row GG, £30. Can't make it today, my boss wont let me come and play (it's my ST). Collect outside the ground from my mate who sits next to me. Happy new year.
  13. It is possible this accident is similar to the MD80 which crashed in Little Rock, Arkansas. The crew failed to arm the speed brake during the landing checks and failed to notice it hadn't deployed upon landing. That accident was largely attributed to stress, overload and fatigue however. The pilots were at the end of a long shift and trying to land in a severe thunderstorm in which weather conditions, including wind, were changing rapidly. It would take a high level of incompetance for that to happen in normal circumstances. Arming the speed brake is part of the landing checklist in most airlines and at least one of the pilots is supposed to confirm it has indeed deployed upon landing. I think we can rule out a reverse thrust problem too. On a 3000m uncontaminated runway it shouldn't be needed at all.
  14. Would have loved to have spent NYE in Dubai this year but my plans to move out there haven't materialised yet. Instead it's a quietish night at a friends house, not drinking because I'm on call for work at 5am tomorrow. I'm not really massive on NYE although it is as good excuse as any to have a few cheerful drinks with friends and be optimistic for the new year. Even if it is just a sequencial number assigned to some random point on the Earths orbit of the Sun.
  15. If only someone had started this thread for Delgado. He'd have got fit, scored 30 goals a season, we'd have stayed up and would now be playing in the Champions League with Lowe, Poortvliet, Clifford, Walcott, Bale, Wotte and Forecast.
  16. Vnukovo has a 3000m runway, which is plenty long enough to stop a Tu204 under normal conditions. Looking at that video it wasn't really snowing so the runway was also probably clear of any serious contamination. The aircraft went off the end at considerable speed too so it wasn't even close to stopping. My guess would be he either missed the touch down markers by about 1500m (incredibly unlikely) or some serious brake or spoiler failure which the pilots failed to go around from.
  17. This one is pretty unusual even for Russia.
  18. On a scale of 1 to 10, how old are you?
  19. Pompey coming to St Mary's was memorable, if not one of the most gutting ends to a match I've ever witnessed. When Norris' goal went in I felt like all my insides had just vanished in an instant and I was completely empty. Went mental for Billy's second goal though. Weird to think 8 months later we are in the Premier League with a realistic chance of staying up, whilst they're dangling by a thread over the League 2 trap door. Millwall away was another fantastic result. To turn around that game in the last 2 minutes after such a sh*t performance was brilliant. I was on the train home thinking 'that was our MK Dons moment'. Listening to Saints beat Coventry on 5 live, whilst at work was another brilliant moment. I was gutted I couldn't be there.
  20. I want to date more supermodels Well actually, I just want to date A supermodel Well actually, I just want to find a girlfriend Well actually, I just want to stop crying whilst I masturbate
  21. Good point, forgot about him.
  22. Anyone else noticed this? It seems quite strange given the number of players who've come through and made an impact on our team, not to mention those who've left and made a name for themselves elsewhere. I can't think of one decent CB we've brought through in the last 20 years or so. There was Lancashire a couple of years ago but he was awful and ended up at Aldershot. Maybe our scouting network is more interested in attacking players who generally seem to sell for more money.
  23. Appart from a Premier League squad from last season and as much money as we spent on Gaston to buy Adam Johnson plus an extra £15m to buy Fletcher from Wolves? But appart from that, they're a shoe string outfit.
  24. 5,000 hangovers and a sh*t game in sh*t weather don't make for a great atmosphere. Was like a library in there today.
