  1. Stills lives as probably my best day watching Saints, inc Cup final 1976
  2. Not having the coms keep saying Bellingham is like a Rolls Royce was good. Thought Tino was a bit ineffective but generally the team did really well and enjoyed the flair and flow of the team. I wonder if Jude is a bad influence and may not be missed
  3. Long term planning perhaps, as the population grows there may be more call, I remember the naysayers when we were leaving the Dell that it would be too big. A few years managing to stay up would help, if the goons who bought the club had not truly messed up the first season and we had stayed up, the following seasons we would have been comfortable in the PL
  4. I thought that there was a suggestion last season that if we sold a certain amount of season tickets the club would look to increase the capacity? Obviously that was before relegation!!!
  5. I asked my wife who knows everything about anything, and she said we failed to get a big muscular striker, our kit looks nice, and why didnt I put the shelf up she asked me to...ohhh and we will finish top 6
  6. Brave or stupid of him!! I doubt many of ours would go kitted up to pubs in Pompey.I assume he had some of his mates with him
  7. Tell them Flynn Downes cooked you dinner on Saturday night, and so too ill to turn up. That will get your boy out of it as well
  8. David Armstrong for his cross to Moran, and Biley for his miss lol
  9. Bin your sons football, if hes a Saint he will understand. There must be somebody who will give him a lift
  10. When Aribo joined I thought he came as a forward, I wonder if he was treid there, I recall he was quite a decent finisher in the box early on
  11. OldNick

    old songs

    Hit them on the head with a baseball bat
  12. When I saw him play for QPR I thught he had great promise, surprised he hasnt kicked on
  13. I dont believe that is correct, it was high under Labour in the 70's. I was a remainer and wouldnt vote reform,, but I do feel the days were better in the 70's and 80' only because I was young and didnt have the responsibilities I do have now.
  14. Is this a parody, as I may be missing something here? Those old age pensioners who are parasites in the system now IYO, were working to pay for your education and all the other services whilst you were growing up and wet behind the ears. Providing taxes so that you could get your degrees and comfy state copper bottomed pension. They paid taxes in their working lives to get in a position to now deserve help and ther rightfully earned pension. When I first started working at 16 ( I didnt go to Uni or further education, you wont be surprised to know) we then paid National Insurance and Pension contributions, in time the gov conveniently dropped the wording Pension contribution. We paid our tax in knowledge that woman/wives would get the state pension at 55 ( ithink thats correct), in the decades that followed the goal posts were moved so that now it is 66 to get a pension soon to be 67. I doubt I will be here to see you whining about the state pension start being 70 -75 when you reach the pension age, you may then be thinking that you have the right to a pension, and may not then think that you are one of those parasites.
  15. I saw on X they weresaying that when we were in League 1 that our attendances were so poor we had to close one side of the stadium!!
  16. Dont think anybody stole her food
  17. A few goons on here doesnt mean everybody, as I never stated that. Goingto Saudi is a massive payday and so he may well decide to go there
  18. A big shame is that the Rwanda scheme was stopped as soon as they came to power. It was not a case we had to send 10s of thousands of people there, but it would have been a deterrent for them to travel here in the forst place. If you actually look at Rwanda, it is a modern country where these people would have been welcomed and they have a young population who wanted them. Having 1000 arriven on saturday is incredible, the money we give France just does not seem to work and why we keep sending back the dinghys and life jackets is incredible (if indeed this is the case) When or how can we stop this flow? I wonder if Agenda 30 really is going to come to fruition ( if you dont know about it look it up, it is scary)
  19. I dont care who did what, but ifByrne and his note and if you say about NI was done to hurt the economy is correct both acts were disgusting as they hurt us all. Politicians treat it as a game when really it is our lives they are toying with
  20. wow just goes to show how poor the standard is!!!!
  21. A mamouth task to check each company, civil servants are stretched as it is, let alone the resources needed to check every business. We needed it then not 3 weeks later after checking at a time of emergency
  22. The thousands of compnies who were in the supply of this had multiple options where to sell, the Gov needed it and so had to a degree waix=ve it through. The gowns and PPE for the front line were runnning out (the news were constantly telling us that doctors and nurses hadnt the kit) , what was worse, the nurses potentiallycatching the disease or us paying too much? The Gov of any color would have had to make the same decision. It was obvious that some would benifit eg Mone. It must be eyewatering what each gown that should havebeen a fraction of a penny cost, but needs must. I would love her and the others to be convicted but I suggest there is little chance of getting the money back
  23. what, that the Gov had to buy the PPE whatever the price as the world was trying to get hold of it?
  24. Yes Constantin Eckner
  25. Listening to the bit on Solent from somebody who knows about him, Scienza may be trouble!!!
