Gloucester Saint

There were a lot of unanswered questions from that ‘reverse takeover’ in 1996. Guy gets some Saints folklore for being the one who took the contract out to Hamburg for Keegan to sign but the club went downhill under his leadership (if you can call it that), losing the sense of ambition under Lawrie which arguably it hasn’t got back since. As for appointing Ian Branfoot and then giving him a 3 year contract extension….

Quite possible that. The only note of caution with any elimination diet - I speak from experience - is to make sure that you take it on under supervision and check-ins with your GP. To identify my lactose intolerance took first an endoscopy to ensure there was nothing structurally wrong inside (I did it without sedation…) and then a week wired up to a computer which monitored acid levels and inflammation after each meal.

They used to con Karen Carney to come into the dressing room.

Growing rumours that Marco Rubio might be about to jack it in over Trump and Vance’s position on Ukraine.

Although we are politically polar opposites, (me being a Lib Dem remainer), I partly get where you are coming from on this point. Lowe at least tries to engage with the Parliamentary system with some organisation, which probably stems from his experiences at the FA and better times at Saints 2000-2004. Anderson ditto. Farage and Tice are Boris talking heads, Farage is strong presentationally but very little substance and would never be across the detail properly.

What amazes me is that there are 1400 plastic Nazis who loved Musk’s tweet, and 202 who actually re-tweeted it. What kind of a cunt do you need to be to think that’s a healthy thing to do?

I can just imagine Farage in old fashioned aviation goggles getting ready to fly over Yarmouth with that.

If he hadn’t been successful for us as a younger player first time around, we wouldn’t be discussing him even. He will still want big wages for the Champ and unless the club grow a pair, Ross Stewart has had his towel over the physio’s bed for the striker’s spot since arriving from Sunderland.

Negligence shouldn’t be pensioners having to search every single square cm of their trailers and vehicles for stowaways. The ferry companies I’m happy to be fined and prosecuted for running reasonable quick checks before sailing but it ought to be the border forces really.

Sounds like a collision in poor visibility, albeit a nasty one https://news.sky.com/story/coastguard-helicopter-scrambled-over-report-tanker-and-cargo-ship-have-collided-in-north-sea-13325739 Hopefully a better outcome than the Pacific Gem one was in the Solent 1970.

That’s absolutely absurd, got to be over-turned/very reduced and there’s a precedent they can draw on legally below so it should be. If they’d known about it before departure they wouldn’t be informing the authorities. I have to deal with the Home Office for work sometimes and they are dreadful. Not a one-off either, at least Rayner was their MP and had it massively reduced. There should be an inspection by cross-border forces and the ferry companies before sailings commence https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j0dxek3kro

Nigel is a man of the people - unless he has to meet with them face to face about their problems rather than staged photo ops at off-licences or hair salons https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgx9nyep7vo and https://www.essexlive.news/news/essex-news/nigel-farage-insists-its-too-9700306 Is at least doing Zoom meetings by now for triaged priorities which is an improvement. Most MPs have caseworkers. Clacton will re-elect him in 2029, I’d wager a big lump of money in that. Wayne the plumber and Sharon the hairdresser see him as having raised their town’s profile. Which is true. Yarmouth and Lowe, and the other non-entities they select as candidates - Lord knows?

Can’t see SR appointing him or him wanting to leave Celtic again but can’t deny that would be a high quality appointment.

Ings is out of contract in the summer https://www.capology.com/player/danny-ings-33808/ and https://www.claretandhugh.info/counting-down-the-days-on-his-west-ham-career-rivals-await-return/

A minority of the fanbase, including a few on here, will end up with encrusted carpets and be very sore after Monday Night Football tonight.

Surprised Tice or Farage haven’t had a pop yet about how many people Rupert fell out with as SFC Chair - Wiseman, Trant, Crouch, numerous managers, Lawrie, Mary Corbett - and plenty more. Mind you, Nigel Farage has just as a big a list, probably more than Rupert. Never going to end happily was it?

PSR/FFP. Ipswich haven’t had that issue yet having come up two divisions and hence more headroom than Saints or Leicester had to invest last summer. Made some good signings - Delap especially - but some that haven’t worked in midfield and central defence which isn’t surprising over so many transactions. Hopefully Saints can finally sign some of the spine this time that might make the transition in future as well as some players purely to go up. Hoping Charles and Edwards mature into two players who can make it.

No chance they make the play-offs this season, none. They could next season, probably Hampshire plod’s worst nightmare if Saints met them in the semi-finals. But there’s plenty of clubs more likely to, and they’d have to improve their wretched form away from the toothless, stinking ‘Old Girl’ they call home.

Fixed it for you

https://www.hammers.news/transfer-news/good-riddance-as-12-million-west-ham-man-is-reportedly-open-to-joining-his-former-club/ From the player’s end I suspect. Unless BBD is signed by the Blades when they go up, we will have him, AA coming back, Onachu, Sulemana and Stewart, unless we are going to finally enforce retirement on the one striker with a worse injury record than Danny. Danny is washed up at top flight level, could do a good job for a season below that I’m sure, but at least 2 or more need to move on first.
