Secret Site Agent

Converted, or influenced, my Daughter at 7 by taken her. The whole atmosphere and the 'Pie and a pint' (of Hot chocolate and sausage Roll) was an experience for her. She still speaks now about never seeing so many people in one place all singing together, going on the pitch at the last game of the season, how friendly everyone was and when she lost her scarf, she was crying on the walk back to the car and when we were asked, by total strangers what was the matter, she was given three scarfs and a top. By fellow saints fans. She has converted a couple of her friends and a few have come with us, and she regularly argues wiuth the boys at her school about being glory hunters. She even questioned her Teacher about giving loyalty to your local team, and not to look for success,'.....by always following the winners. If you do that, then you will always be changing who you support, and you miss out on the feeling of winning when he have been losing for a while, and the winning when your not supposed to.' My lad was a bit of a Manure fan until i got him on the straight and norrow and back to Saints. He only followed Manure because all his friend did, and saints were crap. I'm working on the Construction industry as we speak, I have a few Brighton, Some Skates, Leyton Orient, Manure and Liverpool, Hartlepool, S****horpe, Liverpool, Tranmere and Port Vale. I'll let you know how I succeed. I can always sack them, but being in Tunbridge Wells, they are a bit more difficult to replace.

Well, they have to invent a new type of pink for the way I am tickled at the moment. I must confess that I have a little faith and understanding in what NA had done with his signings......But still would have liked a forward, but understand it has to be a certain someone of a certain type, not just anyone. Impressed with most of the team so far, AL has come on leaps and bounds, Rickie doing well, Old Man Conelly seems to have got a second wind, Kelv the super goalie, Danny Fox, Morgan, Hammond who has impressed. The whole team seems to have gone up a gear and has improved. The only one I am questioning at the mo is Hooiveld. As someone who listens to a lot of games as well as attending them, he seems to have been quite anonymous so far. Can't remember him getting a mention. Still, in NA we trust and i'm sure him and Steve De Ridder will only improve. Did I mention I am tickled pink?

This Hasn't really got anything to do with Brighton, but asks the question if there is a yard stick to measure teams, and if so, what is it. At least you answered, gave you opinion, job done.

Just Listening to the Leicester v Brighton game and the fans follow up, etc. One comment is that they lost to only one goal so it proves they are a better team than us as we let in 3 goals. BUT, we did score two past them. Can't personally see the correleation, but which theory do you think has legs? Taking this a bit further, which is the decideder if not the above? Who finishes higher? Who beats who in a head-to-head? Are Leicester the bench mark team? Or should it be Middlesborough? Am I bored with no football today?Should I just carry on replacing the floorboards in my toilet and shut the fark up? Red or Black, You decide.

Does anyone have a phone number for the people who run Saintsplayer? I have got a 6 month voucher as a birthday present and I have paid through paypal but no voucher has been sent. The Birthday is on Tuesday and they seem to be either ignoring my e-mails, or very incompetant. Or both. Many thanks.

At uni, my regular Squeeze was reading the paper when she said to me, 'What's a mowpd?' I said ' Eh, what do you mean?' and she says to me 'here in the paper - MOWPD For sale' It said Moped. They teach em well at Rodean. I was at a Public meeting for the works to the A31, and someone asked when we were doing the work. I said mostly at night. He said angrily why couldn't we do it at a time when peopel wouldn't be using the road instad, like when they were asleep. When they first came in, a Highways Agency Traffic Officer instructed me to move one of those metal barriers you see during roadworks, as it was causing 'conjunction'.

SSA - Official Club Sandwitch Also Official Club Foot (by Puncheon.) Official Club Nation Official Club Window Licker.

Yes like this; NW: Listen here, Nicol Arse, you're gonna give us 3.5 million, now you sold Oxy, and Punchbag for free. You can pay the agent 200k as well. THAT is how it's always been done, and you're do it. NC: Sorry, that is bad business. Fargov. We leave now. Oh, yes. He knows better how football transfers go. But not how to do business, i think.

I have been reading Alan Sugers Autobiography and have read about his time at Spurs. He makes reference to the Old Boys Club, dodgy dealings, sweeties being offered, money in drawers etc and the way that, in a business, they all behaved in a non-business way and it confounded him. Being as his background is not one of the old traditionalists, i.e. the superfans with money, I can only assume that Cortese is the same. It's not to give whats asked for ther player, plus a bit for the agent, plus the inflated price because we have just sold Walcott, (I know it was Chamberlain, but I put this in as support for Manji and this is what he maent). Cortese is no fool to be ripped off with overblown assesments based on the fact we have a few quid. How would you feel if you went to SMS and they said: 'Right, the price for a ticket is: unemployed £10.00, Student £15.00, Labour and service industry £ 20.00, Tradesman £ 30.00, Middle management £ 45.00, Upper Management live in the centre of town, Another £40.00, Shirley to Sholing Another £ 30.00, To southampton border Another £25.00, Eastleigh another £20.00 Outside Eastleigh, Nothing.' ****, I think i've given out the business model for ticketing next season.

I think Parker Merchanting in Totton do a printing service on Hi-Viz, Greenhams next to the ground do one as well. Mostly for companies but could probably do one for a price.

And another thing. I don't believe he goes out and looks at a player and says 'He's great at this leve. Just buy him.' I believe he comes up with some targets, a fair view are gievn to him, then they look at the ancillaries, 'Is he a mercenary just after the money, will he use us as a spring board to get into another team, is he settled, has he got a temper on him, is he level headed, can he work alongside xx,yy and zz, will he compliment them..........' . Once they have a full view of if he will compliment the team rather than disrupt it, then the push is on. Some will fit the mold, but wont like the way things are, some will want things we are ready to give them, so are advised by agents who like to give them detrimental advice because they want to screw us. We or they walk away, no hard feelings, like a couple who had been on a few dates, they fancied each other in the beginning, but she don't like his friends, or he don't like her family, She don't like his sense of humour, he can't stand her politics, She don't like that he wants to go to 'bum island', he don't like that she wont let him go to 'bum island'. So they part on fair terms, and so they look elsewhere. Don't you find it strange that a team like us and Brighton, with almost the same team from a lower league, are doing well, and yet West Ham and Liecester are a little behind, at the start of the season. Perhaps it's just beginners luck. Or their total dominance will start Saturday.

At the moment we have a winning team, one that has learned to work with each other, where they know each others strengths and weakness and what makes each other tick. Replace that with 11 strangers who know nothing about each other????????? No, Nigel knows that he has a winning team, stength in depth, cover where we need it, and is looking to strengthen areas, not the spend millions on players and you're bound to win methodology. After all, we spent seven million doing this and we did very well. Oh, hang on, we didn't.

I'd take them if nothing else.

I have just appealed against CP Plus for being parked in Cherwell Services for 9 hours when I visited there on my way to Birmingham and on my way home. In between I gave a presentation and won an Environmental Award and could have 250 eye witness statements to prove I wasn't parked there. I have appealed and am awaiting their answer, (only sent it on Monday). I beleive they are cowboy ****s trying to rip us off. Just to give you all another update. As they wanted a break down of costs, I issued an invoice for preparation of information refuting their invoice and billed them for £207.00, for which I included the costs of preparing a break down. Last Monday at 9.07 am I recieved a letter from them refusing to pay and stating that they do not have to meet an invoiced claim as it is down to me and at my expense to refute the claim. At 12.22 pm I issued a letter to them telling them I was issuing legal action against them for non-payment. Yesterday I filled in a form N1 for the small claims court and sent them a copy asking for payment in full plus additional costs. Watch this space.

Rudi Skacel

I was listening to the groaning of the Ipswich 'taters when they scored the first one, and switched over just in time for the second to go in. So I take full responsibility. If I had kept with Dave 'What we don't want to do now, Laurence' Merrington, we would have won 5-0. Mea Culpa.

Good work, fast work too.

I'm not saying this isn't true but.................... We never find out about a deal with a player until it's done, more or less............... And we never find out how much it was for..................... So unless he signs in the next 24 hours......... Got to be sceptical.

Did anybody eles do what I did and not start viewing until halfway through, forgetting that we had gone up and would be on BEFORE the midnight change to league one?

I'm up for that. I'll be out with my power plane and some course and smooth sand-paper. Remember people, you must plane a riot WITH the grain, not against the grain.

I used to **** on my tie. Now I walk around with my tie thrown over my tie.

You know, considering NC's business nouce, and the Five year plan, and the Estate of ML, and the target to be playing champions league, we could always buy him back in a couple of years when he hasn't played a decent game, is warming the bench, and enjoyed his time here more than there. But not at 12 m + 3m. Lower than that.

We need someone like that De Ridder Feller that everyone on here was talking about recently.

Thing is that after his head has been turned I believe it would have caused him great difficulty to get back to the day to day grind of the championship. If he goes it would be best all round as I don't believe he would preform, or would end up with a nice gentleman from an opposing team giving him the 'Billy Sharp' treatment at some stage. Lets take the money and use it to progress ourselves with a few signings of people who WANT to be here. Now, if we were talking about Adam..........................

Yes but Cortese says not to share them with you, as you haven't been nice.
