"Glad to be Gay" by TRB was mid 70s as I recall. Also this from Wiki would suggest "gay" was a term in use for homosexuality long before that: "Gay News was a pioneering fortnightly newspaper in the United Kingdom founded in June 1972 in a collaboration between former members of the Gay Liberation Front and members of the Campaign for Homosexual Equality (CHE)."

Supporting anybody at rugby is weird.

Good grief..........

I have it on good authority that we are going to finish 17th. So I've put my house on it.

Of course! He's quite regularly a complete cvnt.

You're happy with "sweet" then?

Yes, will people please please refrain from posting hypothetical discussion topics on an internet chat forum!? Good grief, what is the world coming to?

Or Golf: "In the hole!"

Interesting to see how the odds for promotion have tightened since the season started - averaging about 5 to 1 on the opening day, and now ranging between 2 to 1 and 6 to 4. http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/championship/promotion/bet-history/southampton

That actually makes sense! A rare thing in this world - an answer to a question that enlightens! Thank you.

Why oh why do we always hear goalkeepers shouting, "Away!" at the top of their voices as soon as a ball comes anywhere near the penalty area? Where else are the defenders going to aim it? Maybe without this vital piece of advice a centre back might get confused and accidentally kick it into the goal?

So to sum up: He's 5'9" and 5'11" and 6'1"; Bristol City fans think he's their best defender and wouldn't mind seeing him go. He's good in the air and also not so good in the air, needing to play alongside an aerial giant. He's potentiallly Premiership standard and is a died in the wool Championship quality player. That's nice and clear now, thanks.

"Better" as in more, or as in quantity? Surely the first is subjective and the second is just plain wrong?

Yes, we're much much bigger and better supported than Liverpool, Everton, Aston Villa, Newcastle and Sunderland aren't we?

Spot on. I think you'll need to use fewer syllables to convince some of the conspiracy boneheads though.

Well I reckon that as you say there are indeed plenty of people who go to every game or at least get their ticket used. Equally, I know of people who buy a ticket each year and easily miss up to half a dozen or so matches during the season (work, family commitments etc.). Anyway my main point was why not simply raise the season ticket price rather than this alleged "cloak and dagger" anti- season ticket scam? People are then free to take it or leave it.

Makes no sense at all. Rather than not sell any season tickets at all why not simply hike the price of them? I reckon a good proportion of season ticket holders miss a few games each season - these games would produce no revenue at all from these people if they paid as they went. If the price is right (from the club's point of view) it would be utterly senseless to discourage (or withdraw) the season ticket option. I smell conspiracy theory here.

You really should get out more - unbefurkingbelievable.

I was born in the home dressing room at the Dell. Now since Saints moved to St Mary's I'm forced to support King Edward VI School 1st Eleven! Life's a bummer huh?

I really don't get where you lot are coming from - what exactly has NickG done wrong here? Personally I think that the (predictable) overreaction to the Walsall defeat, coupled with the incredible run subsequently, is an interesting observation to share. I didn't sense any "sniping" - perhaps the miserable doom-mongers (yes you and your ilk Alpine) have had certain nerves touched?

God forbid that anybody should discuss rumours on an internet forum FFS.

er...... it's like.... Oldham related - not United. The clue is in the title?

Is that "Ouanker" (Fr) ("Mastabatter" (Ger), Coccafidlia" (Ital)) Alpine actually going to come on here and explain his bizarre "bogey team" comments, or sheepishly melt away into the background?

Exactly what I said! The first second....... of the first year which is the year ONE - not the Year Zero! How could you get that soooo wrong?
