Aha, a sopcast thread (amongst others): good, they're normally pretty reliable.

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.

Plus if they went for the German model of lower ticket prices I reckon they could get those sorts of figures regularly.

Not where I am...

Ah yes, I remember... a classic..

bloomin' 'eck, you're a bit slow!

Say it again!

Weren't we complaining about Lallana's inability to shoot at the start of the season???

Pretty please!! Same Skype name n'all!

"****ing windy up here. Wind against second half " from t'other thread, so lets keep it on the ground then..

Ta.

My question of the day is: when is Spiderman going to score for us? About time, eh?

Link? Ta

BTW - any idea of the crowd?

Superb timing.. do it again!

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...

Lambert appeared to be struggling, a bit under the weather, although that might have been my internet stream freezing.... I had a horrible feeling beforehand that me watching Saints live would continue a 3 year tradition of not seeing them win. James' crossing is accurate enough but from far too deep, our defence was generally slow both mentally and physically. Lallana and Schneiderlin were OK, but I wish the latter could shoot. Antonio still seems to be an impact sub as he was definitely hiding before he got taken off (rightly IMHO). Oh well, let's hope they've got it out of their system and AP will make sure they learn from the experience.

b******s, seized

Just watching the pre-match stuff at home in the Alps: good ol' technology! Shall I have the Adnams Broadside, Marstons Pedigree or Fullers ESB: best go down to the cellar and get some of all of them! Please let me see them win....

Ooh guys, let's do it again!!
