They have to get past Stevenage first!

Maybe you could make it look cool for younger folk! I do kind of think at the moment anyone under the age of 50 smokng a pipe would look a bit odd.

I guess one for the older generation!! Has anyone on here smoked a pipe? I used to love the smell of the smoke from my granddads pipe when he was alive. Think it was cherry/Vanilla? A bit of an art isn't it, getting them to stay alight and all that. I'd like to see pipe smoking become fashionable again. Just to keep mods happy - Saintsweb does of course not condone smoking

what a joke!

Does anyone have the picture of Nelson Muntz from the Simpsons pointing at the pompey badge with ‘haha’ next to it to hand?

Was supposed to be working away tomorrow but can work from home now. Happy days!!!!

I really used to laugh during the whole of my lunch breaks on the old Saintsforever forum, there really were some great posters and everyone used to have a laugh and be able to mock each other, with it all being taken in good spirit. Sadly things are not the same now, but it has to be questioned as to why that is? What did Keith do that was different from the approach on this forum? I would suggest that the approach taken wasn’t much different (if at all). So if that’s the case, then what is different? My opinion (for what it’s worth) is that we are currently in a situation where a small group of posters have become the main contributors to the forum. I don’t know the stats, but I bet that only maybe 5% of posters make up 70% of the posts? It’s clear there are another group of posters that used to post on a regular basis but can’t be bothered now for various reasons. I would also suggest that there are another group of members that have never bothered to contribute much for some of the same reasons that previous regular posters don’t post any more. The main problem as I see it, is what happens once you start your new forum? Does it become for a select group only, where membership is limited? Or is it open to anyone, in which case I’d guess that you would eventually end up with exactly the same situation as we currently have on here where the same people would join up to either contribute or to stir. A key problem on this forum is a lack of respect. We can’t expect the mods to just ban people for expressing their opinions in the way they do, as the point of the forum is that everyone can have their opinion and it will often be different to that of many other posters. In my opinion I don't think we need another forum, but we do need a few things to happen. Key posters We need some of the key posters on this site to take a good look at themselves and think a bit more about the things they post and the way in which they respond to each other posts. In society generally respect seems to be disappearing and that’s reflected on here as well at the moment. Maybe it’s time that people thought a little more about what they say and how they say it. Old posters that can no longer be bothered to post If all these ‘good posters’ started making an effort to post again, then we start to get back to where we want to be don’t we? New contributors Likewise we need some of the people that don’t usually get involved for fear of getting abused to take that leap and start contributing a bit more. Hopefully if everyone makes an effort we can get back on track. This is a great forum and it’s up to us all to ensure it doesn’t go down the pan like Saintsforever eventually did.

That is exacty why there are tv highlights, so you don't have to remember what happened and who scored!

+1 indeed

Looking forward to Saturday, shame it's an earlier kick off, but less drinking before the game, just means more drinking after the game so no big deal

Every cloud!!!

I am going to post more on the internet this season (apart from when I am at the games obviously!)

Look on the bright side, at least we have had a pre-season this year!

Imagine how little there would have been to talk about over the past couple of months if no rumour or speculation was put forward on this forum! The lack of meaningful information that has come from the club over the summer would have left us with very little of real interest to discuss!

Thought it was a bit harsh when they were dragging a woman along on her back when she had a baby strapped to it! You'd have thought even the most heavy handed police oficer would have thought to remove the baby first, then drag her off!

Thanks for confirming

:lol: classic, I think one of my favourite posts ever.

Surely they won't need that many based on their squad!

-Fall out with the local paper & ban them from St Mary's -Make digs at ex players / board members within a statement he makes Two examples where I'd say he does play stupid games (in my opinion)

Been looking and can't find it either. Maybe it was pulled after Cortese heard it had been reported on here

I thought it had already been confirmed that there is an initial period where people can park for free if they are just popping to the megastore, picking up tickets, etc? Can't recall where I saw this though!

Not in my childish head it's not!

Rather dissapointed I have to work away tomorrow so will have to wait until the evening to find out the news!
