The Cat

Meat from Owtons, fruit and veg from either Pickwells or the other farm shop on Hamble Lane. I work part time in Co op so get quite a lot of stuff cheap in there. If we need anything else then it's Sainsbury's in Bitterne as it's next to the gym. Despite the fact the closest supermarket to us is the hideously huge Bursledon Tesco I hardly ever go in there and when I do it makes me feel dirty.

They don't need the 3 digit number on the back of his card. If they want to make another transaction for the extra £50 all they need to do it type Bridgey's card details (the 12 digit number and expiry date) into their till. The problem for the shop is that this second payment wouldn't have been authorised and they can't proceed without a signature. If they want to they can contact you to arrange further payment. I'm pretty sure they are also legally entitled to persue this through the small claims court, but it would be pretty ridiculous to bother doing that for £50. Because you have 2 receipts (and so do they) it can be proved you knew how much the goods were worth. I really don't think they'll be after the extra money though. Also I very much doubt the shop assistant would have to pay the money back themselves. That would be harsh if it was a genuine mistake. I've worked in a few shops and never known that to happen.

Or buy the Football League Paper on a Sunday.

Journalist: "So Steve, you've got a couple of players out injured and have said you're looking to get in one or two players on loan. How far would you say you are from a good side?" Steve: "About 20 Miles."

He wouldn't get in our current back 4 and I'd imagine would be on a pretty big wage. Doesn't really seem worth it if Hooiveld signs or has his loan extended in January.

We once convinced a friend of ours that Friday had been cancelled that week. She completely believed it and was still going on about it in the pub the next day.

That's what I used to do. Always stay until after the final whistle though, I like to clap the players at the end. In that respect I'm most definitely a happy clapper.

The only time he takes them off is when he's rucking with the away fans outside the ground.

I couldn't support England if that **** was in charge. Mind you I haven't been to see them play for about 10 years so it's not like I really support them now anyway.

Completely agree with the hoodies thing. I was always under the impression your t shirt goes under your jumper. What next? Legions of saints fans wearing SFC boxers over the top of their jeans? As for foam hands, I get slightly irritated with mine because I have to keep taking them off to bang on the backboards when we all sing that genius song about Cortese. Keeping the hands on muffles the sound too much and the song doesn't sound so good.

I've stopped drinking at half time this season. The lager is either horrible or way too expensive and Saints Ale is just dull.

Good to read, shows just how much goes into preparing the teams fitness nowdays.

No way will it sell out. I'd imagine you could even buy on the day if you wanted to.

I'm liking the fact that these tickets look like they about to be sold to sold to the man at the bar.

I kind of agree with MLG. We only have to sell another 6000 tickets a game to have the place sold out. If we got promoted I think this would easily happen for most matches in our first season. Just look at the amount of people in around Southampton that don't go anymore. Most companies I've worked for had a bunch of season tickets when we were in the top flight, now only one has some and they reduced this by half. Not sure we could regularly sell +40k unless we were consistantly near the top of the Premier League and I can't really see that happening.

All the players that have sadly died on the pitch have had the worst injuries.

Maybe, until now, Saints have never had enough money to build a +40k stadium. To be fair I have no idea how much more it would have cost us to knock up an extra tier at St Mary's so my point could be completely invalid. But it sounds plausible so I'll run with it.

They should be used to just show footage of wobbly breasts. Both male and female in case anyone accuses me of being sexist.

Bizarre article in the News today. A reporter goes up to the London offices to meet Dubov yet doesn't provide any quotes from him in the article. Interesting to know that CSI claim to collect all postings relevant to CSI on twitter and facebook. Wonder if they've worked out which ones are from Saints fans yet? http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/great-matches/pompey_owners_london_hq_1_3113422

What we should do is have more music. Music for corners, music for throw-ins, music for penalties. Music for goal kicks is a no brainer, we could fit in most of the live version of Dazed & Confused in the time Kelvin takes in deciding not to pass it short. Actually I'd like to hear jingles instead of music. Imagine how much revenue we could create if the tannoy was to announce the name of the sponsor every time a set piece was being taken. This could be the crucial difference between finishing in the top 2 or having to negotiate the minefield of the play offs. Companies would pay a fortune to have their name announced like that over the tannoy and we could plough that money back into the squad. If we took this one step further, how about sponsored chants from the crowd?? I'd be bang up for organising a few tunes in Block 36 for that. Could pay for our season tickets if we sing loud enough. Who wouldn't want free football for just helping to promote a brand? The brands could even have competitions for fans to come up with the best songs. The winning songs get an airing at the ground and the winning composer gets to be a brand ambassador. Why has no one thought of this before? The future of football is here.

Has anyone else heard this? It's completely wrong, yet (in my opinion) also very funny. What was Wyngarde thinking? Yeah, I know I'll cash in on being Jason King by releasing a completely bizarre album featuring a song about rape. Mental. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDfnkm3WN9k&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PL11F9087C3B0A8F19

OUCH. And £25 Under 16, what a joke. That just confirms how much of a to$$er Ken Bates is.

It's a long commute from Winchester.

Just watched the highlights of their game against Leeds. Did they have any fans up at Elland Road? Granted the camera didn't scan to the top of the away end but I couldn't see anyone there at all.

The moment in the first half when Lallana instantly controlled Davis' long kick was exquisite.
