Unless they've changed the rules, that's for players moving to another country isn't it? England to England transfers can only be done once the contract expires. So players have only been available for 3 weeks.

I've tried drinking in the Bridge, but prefer to be a bit closer to the ground.

Why do I know the name David Bick? Seem to have heard it before.

Thousands of people come over the bridge from Woolston each game. Between the Itchen Bridge and the ground there's only one pub, the Chapel Arms which has gone well downhill and is always full of away fans nowadays. Also the shuttle bus over the bridge takes you straight to the ground now as well, which means you'd have to walk back 5 minutes to go to the pub. If there was somewhere decent at the ground I'd use it. I really don't like drinking in the concourse though.

If only it was that simple DD. Smoke can't be contained that easily. Did you ever sit near one of those booths they had at airports which were supposed to extract the smoke? It still stunk, and that was a pretty high tech solution. We used to have smoking rooms at work, and if you went anywhere near them you smelt it. How long has the ban been going, 3 years or so? And they haven't turned the rooms into anything else as they are ingrained with smoke.

Depending on where you sit, the renewal price is hardly any different to the normal price anyway.

Missing the rest of the Ashes series. Guess that means he won't be playing for Hampshire at all this year then.

If you are going to most of the games, a season ticket is much cheaper than paying by the game. You get something like 9 games free. And the pair prices to add a child are great, I got my 7 year old nephew a season ticket for free.

I'd take a guess that on page 18 of Private Eye issue 1241, something Illingsworth said has been printed in their Colemanballs column. Named after the sports commentator David Coleman, who used to put his foot in his mouth on a regular basis. I'm guessing it's the comment about people saying Wotte is Dutch?

That was Sundance Beast wasn't it? Not Nineteen Canteen? 19C only joined the forum in January and it was longer ago than that.

Still, at least it was 4-4-2 with two proper wide men, eh.

Ok fair enough. I always thought he had quite a good record as a youth coach. We've brought a lot of good young players through during his time at the club, that can't all be despite him. We've seen before that decent coaches can be awful as managers, but I didn't see anything on Saturday which made me think he should be sacked.

But do you know Henderson? I'm not disagreeing with what you are saying, just have a nagging suspicion that there is something else to it.

So do you think Henderson should be let go Derry? Would I be right in saying you've had dealings with him in the past?

Did we need another thread for this? Especially on the Saints board.

The 'descent stages' are the bits of the spacecraft left behind. It's not the actual 'descent' of the craft.

There wasn't a buggy on that mission.

No they weren't: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LRO/multimedia/lroimages/apollosites.html

No, then people would moan that we'd signed too many players and it would take too long for them to bed in......

Wouldn't they have needed to site it a little distance away so it didn't get knocked over/covered in dust when their spaceship took off? Also you are talking about 200 metres as if it's a 10 mile trek. That's no distance at all. Maybe that was the closest flat spot they could find?

What's that mention of Euell and his company having financial problems all about?

He works for an administrator, maybe he's just hoping to get some business.

Supposedly going to be director of football. Seems very odd, if you're going to bring him in surely you make him manager?

Would be interesting to hear what the Southend fans thought of him, as he played quite a lot of games for them last season and they were a decent league 1 team. Edit: Impression I get from this is that they rated him http://www.shrimperzone.com/vb/showthread.php?t=51102
