JPTCount

Started on it a cpl of weeks ago, and it's basically done now. Just waiting for an internal usb adapter for the front panel and some Tron lights for a real 80s futuristic feel

I'm only for someone new if hes better than those 3, and bot jus more competition. freidel or Gomes plz

nice to see the BBC have used a photo of two saints Santa's as thier picture for boxing day football on the news app :-D

uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/football-soccer-zambia-retain-faith-winning-squad-162020867.html hopefully he can find his form out there and bring it back on his return :-)

not been following this thread, but from the club surgeon, "at least 4 weeks"

condition were awful yesterday but he still looked the best player on the pitch. the one touch flick over a player bought back memories of le tiss. I dont think we'll lose any money on him either, even if we get relegated. alot of our signings, maybe except j rod, can all be resold at the price we bought them pretty easily imo.

other people in good time shocker!

**** football = **** atmosphere

no one played well today really, most has been said already, but i felt mayuka didnt get the service today. so many times we had thier defense up on the half way and he was starting his run and no1 released him. i think nigel picked him for the potential zip on the srface and the hope that a cpl lofty balls over the top and he'd be clean through

money is here to stay, if its that big an issue cant u just follow totten? or eastlegh? or does the tribalism run too deep. you see i love my club despite the fans i dont like, and i put up with the **** they do, but some of the stuff i've seen in the last two years at sms is actually disgusting. season ticket waving, the sly comments about leaving early, and some of the verbal abuse handed out to families with very small kids, and i was appauled at the abuse patrick bamford got last season, a 17yo wonderkid who played a blinder, scored a stunning goal and another 3. banter is part of the game, but ppl take it too far, i'm all for chanting "robbie savage, what a ******" but ppl just take it too far. and there are 32000 ppl at the stadium most matchdays atm, to think they are all gonna be like you and share your beliefs and dress sense is just beyond stupid. at least when the plastics come to a game they actually come to watch the football.

i speak french, and studied latin too, which means i can just about understand most spanish and italian, but can't reply back. i also know a bit of german for lolz. one of my favorite quotes is from chales V of spain, "i speak spanish to god, french to men, italian to women, and german to my horse." i'd love to learn arabic or one of the chineses tho

and i also added that i couldn't think of a club in the area between chelsea, reading and saints. yes, there's a small part of surrey south of croydon, but most of it is either side the a3 going south, from kingston to liphook. charlton is nowhere near surrey anyway. actual location and location based on connectivity are two very different things, having spent alot of the past 6 years living in and around kingston and wimbledon i can tell you that chelsea definitely feels like the closest club. croydon is a **** to get to as you have to go to clapham to go back on urself, or get a 2 hour bus, chelsea is quicker to get to. and the valley is east london, it takes for ****ing ever to get to east london. going on experience, i have travelled to four grounds from sw london, the bridge, SMS, WHL and wembley, and that is the order of convenience respectively, both travelling to and from. we can not all travel like as the crow does, and perception is also added in to time. Exact proximity is not the only factor to how close someone is to something. we live in an age where transport is incredible, not only day to day but families are much more widespread too, and alot of ppl have historic connections to places, or even newer ones. my missus is a spurs fan, but she was born and raised in the midlands, but because her mums side of the family are all spurs, and still all live in norf. these links are also pushed upon us, even if it is sub conscious. for me chelsea are my second team as my unlce is a season ticket holder at the bridge, and used to always see a few games a year, whenever his mate couldn't make it. (actually going full circle here as he grew up in woking while chelsea were the closest, top performing club to him) wimbledon is now actually closer to surrey as they play in norbiton, but they are still only in league 2. this brings me to my next point, and that alot of ppl support their local premiership team, some take it to the extreme and support a current champion, classic 'glory hunting' even if they may support a local team but its hard to follow lower leagues, especially if football isn't your life. it also makes following the season more exciting for even for those who do take it that seriously, and enjoy entertainment over commitment. and why cant you follow your two local sides, especially if they don't compete. I know a guy who is from fleetwood and has season tickets for both them and blackpool, and has supported both clubs his whole lifetime. and finally there is the non conformist among us, many ppl support a team just to be different, and just because some ppl are like that. as you can see, there are so many more reasons to supporting a football club than just where you live, or were brought up. the tribalism and thuggery that goes with this actually interests me quite alot, especially as in anything else as our allegiances and preferences are based on real judgement and opinion and not just a matter of proximity. football is family entertainment now, yet the 80s hooliganism mentality still lingers. we also live in a largely classless society through capitalism, even if you are middle class, or working class we all live in the same areas, drink in the same bars, buy the same phones, you can't tell from looking at someone what they do or how much they earn anymore. and ultimately why the **** should it matter to you how 'plastic' anyone is, a good mate of mine, whos from surrey, and supports saints first, then reading second, actually wanted us to draw last weekend, of course i ripped him for it but i'm not gonna fight over it, or think any less of him because he has an affinity for both teams. let's kick neanderthalism out of football

palace and charlton are both SE postcodes, and east of a direct line between shouthampton and fulham, so they are not between reading, chelsea and southampton. AFC wimbledon are not a stable and consistent club, they play at someone else's non-league ground, i've been there, it's ****, you have to stand.

so who should ppl in Surrey support? I cant think of a stable and consistent league club between Chelsea/Fulham, reading and saints....

im all for standing areas, means I can sit in peace without ppl telling me I have to stand to support my team properly. and might segregate the nutters from the norms & families and stop the fan on fan hate. the newer German grounds seem to have done this well, on both counts.

taking form from the last 6 games into consideration, those 7 teams are the worst performing teams in the league, and we are 7th best http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/premier-league/2012-2013/form-table/full

i've clapped opposition goals before, remember rooney having a blinder and scoring two at sms when he was still at everton. same trolls trolling, 'why do you clap...' this **** is boring, i thought the perma ban stick had been raised... ****ing grow up the lot of you and go and find something productive to do rather than sitting on the interwrbz all day

but most weed dealers won't carry a multitude of other substances these days, and i've never been offered tabs from a weed dealer. been offered them by mates but never wanted to take it, i'm not into hallucination. it's all choice anyway, and imo ket is a bigger gateway drug currently.

not the best CB ever, but him and fonte make a good pairing. jos plays like he's wearing rollerskates.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_the_Saints_Go_Marching_In can't find one mention of catholics in there, but i'm sure u'll edit it shortly

he played well yesterday but his goal was given to him in a plate, and he shoots to much. if he'd laid off a cpl of those balls we wud have won 5-1. but in response to op, I'm glad he was given a 2nd chance and clearly the players n staff do not gold grudges. does he only play well in l1 and prem? on another point someone at a party recently told me he stabbed some one in ayia napa a few years back, any one heard bout this?

this made me chuckle tbh, reminds me of the "we've still got our prostitutes" @ Norwich & Ipswich a few years back. admittedly it's not the that good or funny, but I think it's meant to be a humorous take on a current issue, rather than a racist chant. still amazes me that ppl are bothered about a correctly used adjective, and dont care about the c word. in my books this is the same as calling someone a fat/ugly/ginger c*nt. it is observational discrimination intended to get a reaction, rather than a deep rooted hatred of all black/fat/ugly/ginger ppl.

if the rumours behind his departure are true then he deserves to be booed imo, bit no1 knows the full story. hopefully fonte is up for it :-)

once had a tomato and mozzarella stack at Stamford bridge, was very tasty. doesnt beat the free ice cream machine and pick n mix at WHL though. true story

more faux journalism, everyone's heard rumours but no one's named a source. it's just look at me tactics on twitter.
