  1. The way I see it, players who cast some doubts in League 1 aren't going to be anywhere near the quality we need to push for the Prem. Gobern and Seaborne are two such players. I'd be happy to see him move on TBH. I know he may come back and bite us in the backside, but that's football. We can't just hang on to everyone in the fear that they will come back and haunt us.
  2. What are the best laptop processors around? Use mine for a reasonable amount of multi-tasking, although nothing extreme and gaming.
  3. And yet we had a squad of 40 odd players. It's about quality, not quantity. When I say quality, we're not just talking about skills. I include fitness and proneness to injury in that criteria too. That defence was a disaster waiting to happen. We failed to address the fact that Killer had a serious injury and sold Fitz Hall. Then we continued to rely on players like Dodd, Le Saux and Claus who had aged well beyond the pace of the Premier League. Dodd, Telfer, Jakobsson, Lundekvam, Svensson, Higginbottham, Kenton, Nilsson, Le Saux, Bernard, Davenport, Van Damme. That's 12 defenders we had on the books in that season and not one of them was up to it. 8 half decent, fit defenders would have kept us up. Let's not make those mistakes again.
  4. Anyone else going to this? I'm planning on giving it a go in a tent, but it's looking fairly likely I'll be all on me tod. If anyone else is around for the weekend it would be good to have a Saints fans meet up.
  5. Either Brizzle club or maybe Yeovil away. Don't really give a flying feck about the Worthington Cup, so something local would be more tempting. Not Swindon, been there twice, lost 1-0 twice. Sh*t hole.
  6. If only Sheffield and Bristol didn't have two clubs, I reckon they could both be Prem regulars. I'm not so sure about Lincoln being 1/4 of a million. I grew up there and from my vague recollection of geography lessons it barely troubled the 80k mark. (It's 88k according to wiki). Should be in the FL for sure, but hardly a big place. Same size as Bath, which doesn't have a League club either, although they are fairly close to Brizzle and Swindon and do have egg chasing.
  7. I'm pretty sure this race wont go ahead, but if it does we could have something similar to the 2005 USA GP where all the competitors just pull into the pits after the parade lap. This would of course be highly embarassing for all the arseholes running F1, so the teams have a fair bit of clout in that respect. I hope F1 never returns to Bahrain, on moral and boring the sh*t out of me grounds.
  8. 1-1 draw at home to Leeds.
  9. If you can burn the songs on to a CD, I think you can then play them on WMP. Can't remember how exactly I did it, but it worked when I had an iriver, which apparently doesn't work with itunes.
  10. That was deliberate, but thanks anyway.
  11. I'm sure there's loads of cool stuff out there for those with the patience to look for it. Main stream music is, in general, sh*te. - Black people desperate to be a cliche - White people desperate to be black people - Soulless pop records by bland reality TV "winners" - Utterly pointless cover versions which massacre classic hits. - Blokes in skinny jeans and a hat who use hair straighteners, who think they're new and unique because their band is called 'Mongolian super marmalade and they have sampled an idling lawnmower on their latest single. - Laddy Gaga
  12. I'm still waiting for the club to tell us Safri is leaving, so I wouldn't hold your breath.
  13. He has a point though. Vokes is ****.
  14. Going to **** it down tomorrow. Should freshen things up a tad.
  15. That was an pretty poor penalty too. Crap game really.
  16. I don't think it's a question of idiocy. I think it's about people being highly suggestible and afraid of death. People don't want to believe that this is it, so they cling to ideas like religion and clairvoyancy.
  17. If you want proof of its bullsh*ttiness, just make up a dead relative you want to communicate with. Before you know it, they will be telling you ficticious uncle Ray is at peace and he wants you not to worry about money. I think South Park did a very funny spoof of an American 'medium' called John Edward.
  18. We need a new CB and if we're going to keep Jaidi then we need to lose Seaborne or Martin. Having 5 CBs on the books is just a waste and a drain on resources.
  19. What's odd is that Deppo actually knew that. He just thinks it's funny to pretend otherwise for some reason.
  20. My life is sad and completely meaningless. As such I found myself watching Dave late one night and they were showing a very average comedy called 'Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire'. There was one highlight however. Miss India De Beaufort
  21. A woman with 6 tits would just look like a big fat b*tch. It's completely unethical.
  22. The 80s were sh*te. We had Chernobyl, The Challenger exploding and Spandau Ballet.
  23. I saw in Primary school, so I don't remember a lot. Goldeneye on the Nintendo 64 was pretty good. There was Matt Le Tiss and his inexplicable exclusion from the England squad. Jurrasic Park was released. So were the Home Alone films. Damon Hill, he was good too. Simon Cowell hadn't been invented, altough we couldn't actually appreciate that at the time. Then on the downside we had Babylon Zoo. Not bad overall.
  24. It is your responsibility as a parent (with help from schools) to make your kids aware of the consequences. I'm not being personal, it's the same for every parent. If I have kids one day, I will consider it my duty to warn my kids of the effects of drugs. What I absolute would not being doing is saying to myself, "it's okay, drugs are illegal, there is no way my kids would take them" What about tabacco and alcohol. Do your kids lie awake at night dreaming of the day they're old enough to go out and get hammered and smoke 40 a day? How do you feel about that? They could sniff glue or paint thinners to get high. Are you kept awake at night wondering if your kids have been on the airfix, yet you sleep soundly knowing they will never try weed because it's illegal? The vibe I'm getting from you is fear. I think it's the whole problem. People are so afraid of drugs that they are blinkered to any change, not to mention the current problem we have with the legal system.
  25. Because alcohol was under very short supply under prohibition. It was so much harder to hide that a couple of ecstacy pills. You can't shove a pint of lager up your arse in a condom. Nowadays you can pick up drugs at any high school party or behind a night club.
