I started my career as an apprentice for one of the big 4 retail banks in 1986, and part of our training was how to program punched cards. I distinctly remember people pushing trollies of punched cards up and down the corridor to load up into the mainframe... We did a bit of COBOL too, which was ultra modern at the time One thing that pisses me off is I can't remember the first website I ever visited when using the internet for the first time. You'd have thought such a monumental event would have stuck in my memory banks! I do remember the first time I went "online" though... Home telephone handset inserted awkwardly into two conjoined rubber cups... Et voila... Prestel!

A strong looking squad too...

Still, looking on the bright side... One of the benefits of the "cost of living crisis" is there's not so many riff-raff cluttering up my local Waitrose supermarket these days... #everycloud

I'll see your 25% and raise you a 60% increase for my domestic heating oil... Why the f*** does the government regulate one source of household energy but not another...?

Anyone else thinking that a disproportionate ban might not work against us as much as some fans probably think it will..? It could well heighten the seige mentally at the club and galvanise the players to "get promoted for Tonda" whilst sticking two fingers up at the footballing authorities... I'm obviously not suggesting that a lengthy ban is in anyway desirable, over something more proportional, but just pondering whether it might not be as harmful to our promotion chances as we might initially think...?

Jander is back out on the grass....! Well, sort of...

In today's training footage, Tonda's not looking like a man with the cloud of a lengthy ban hanging over him... That said, looks can obviously be deceptive...

By the way, I can't remember the exact wording, but whatever happened to the Saints offer to assist with the setting up of a 'commision' to investigate all the other spying activities that we were alluding to in our initial statement? You'd have thought the EFL would have been as keen as mustard to weed out any such other cases, as would we....?
