Is that not a requirement? Same reason they often needlessly publish someone's age. It's so they can be seen to have done as much as possible to prevent any other confusion with any other person of the same name, who could then possibly sue for libel. (In this case though I'm sure Saints footballer would have sufficed)

You forgot the nuns (or would it be sexy female barristers this time)

Foam hands Pah so last year Deely boppers in team colours are the way forward

That's always been my way of thinking Club and International management are two entirely different jobs (no day to day involvement, no transfers, etc) Pick a national manager BEFORE he has already become engrained with a club manager mentality .

Heard it snap. It sounded like to broom handles being whacked together. Not nice

As a courtesy to the paying customers could the players not be persuaded to forego their usual goal celebrations and re-enact all goals in slow motion instead ?

Hmmm, effective word filter. Win(00nton ?

Unfortunately this is a disease that permeates all of society. I blame Murdoch. Only this morning I heard Sky advertising a channel called At the Racists, they said they would be hearing from Newton Abbo, Win*****on and the Market Asian.

Can one of the stattos amongst us work out the probability that any of those attending are actually posters on here.? Pretty slim I'd guess

More to the point, none of the other top ten have had to play us yet .

You obviously never went to an England Schoolboys game at the old Wembley

I reckon that you need look no further than that sentence to work out why certain potential transfer targets ended up not being signed.

Now I've seen the picture I realise he's not kissing the badge at all. He's using the shirt as a comfort blanket. It was an evening game remember. He's just doing what most toddlers do when they get tired.

Wouldn't be the first time. As for kissing the badge I always think that's a bit weird anyway. A thumping of the left chest with right hand, maybe with an additional thumbs up, would to me indicate that you are proud to be wearing the shirt / proud of the club. But kissing a badge - unless you are a one club wonder like MLT - just makes a player look like a slapper who'll **** anyone for the right money.

Never noticed it before, but how come the shadow/reflection is taking a **** ?

Was in the Under West Stand / Archers corner for that game and it really did seem like their fans spent the whole game doing nothing but make holes in the newly erected fence. Plenty of booted legs made it through but thankfully no bodies followed, it would have been a bit lively if they'd managed to breach the defences. Never saw Archers end so packed! (excluding Channon's testimonial ) , must have been a lot without tickets in there. Although to be fair there was nothing going on on the pitch to distract them - no-one will ever convince me that both sides didn't agree to play out a draw that guaranteed we both went up. Love the first b&w photo from a bygone day before political correctness. Group of girls on the pitch with an advert over their heads declaring "Bet she's shopping at Carrefour now"

And the award for the biggest "Wooosh" of 2011/12 season goes to .....................

This has been our best "start" to a season for 103 years. But how long is a "start" ? It seems to be that from the 3rd game onwards statistics of best start/worst start /most goals scored/conceded at the start etc for x years are attached to any club they cabn be found relevant to . So when does a "start" just become "the season" ?

Photo 15 is the give-away. If you are tripped the natural instinct would be to get your hands to the ground asap to prevent your face smashing into the ground. Anyone who "falls" with hands in the air and looking for the referee is in control of their body and faking it.

If someone then clicks the link from fb would they need to register to read it (this forum ) or would it be a "logged in" link ?

I did see on his twitter feed "#saintsfc approached me to sign for them. If only they'd asked last year I loved that sash shirt. Had to tell them, sorry don't do stripes"

Don't really think you can make any comparisons between goal scoring records in different leagues or even different clubs for that matter unless the player is playing exactly the same role in the same formation/playing style. I'd be far more interested in a goals per scoring opportunity ratio as a mark of a striker's true quality. Does OPTA or anyone else keep those stats?

Does the OP not realise that all such stories are to be treated as total bull**** unless a verifiable ear-lobe comparison is provided ?

The order of the post title would be the order I'd put them in - although there's several I can think of would be ahead of Davis

LoL If I had a pound for every ITK-but-can't-reveal-any-details-hint that subsequently comes to nothing that I've heard from Pilchards over the last 5 years I'd do the decent thing and buy the Ginger Tosser some hair dye;)
