Both sopcast and tvants haven't been working but I suspect it's more a problem here: just had a bried glimpse of what looked like Waigo walking back after a goal.... and Saintsweb confirmed it for me. I'm going to close everything except p2p down again but I'll no doubt be back for actual information....
Great stuff Tim, good photo and great to see Ron's smile. I _would_ recognise him in the street. We've got to get him over just so we can all do the old fart's thing... nudge nudge to the youngsters - "Bl***y hell, do you know who that is, it's Ron Davies!"
Thanks Phil.. an even more interesting and lengthy reply than I expected and it sounds like you were getting something off your chest! Never been there but even from the little bits I saw in the press it wasn't a place I would have put any money (or at least not for very long!). So I won't look for an English teaching gig there then... besides Italy's a nice place to live even if I'll never be vulgarly loaded.:-)
Been at footie training some coming down slowly by internet browsing. Any comments on the latest crisis in Dubai... Even I knew there's been a bubble there, but I wonder if the latest crisis will have any impact on any other footie club's finances??
Oh come on Art, it was you who warned us about Saga before he arrived, and IMO you've been proved right. You said the pattern we've now seen (good, interested, committed start then tailing off) was seen at every club he'd been at.
Hmmm, as I live in northern Italy, how about a few training games here (the altitude helps the lung power) plus a few games here and in Switzerland (for Marcus) and Austria. If they did I might even jump in my car and be a desperate Saints fan...
Go to St Denys.. The Junction, South-Western and Dolphin all serve ggod beer and the clientele are intelligent enough to get really ****ed off with people who get upset with somebody supporting another team... you might get a bit of informed banter, though...
