East Kent Saint

Not in those days , as my bank says “ you seem to be having trouble in anticipating your salary so you can’t have a bank guarantee card “ 😃

I admit that my memory may be hazy ! We were at my parents on a visit so it could have been watching live , highlights in the evening and then replay/highlights on Sunday ! So 3 times but maybe no Betamax or VHS involved . There was a lot more to the game than Stokes goal and we did get engaged in the general euphoria ha ha (too much information)

I remember it well ! I think I managed to watch the final live and then another 2 times that weekend having taped it . I feel the FA Cup had more status back then , I remember ManU withdrawing from the FA Cup as they were in the world club comp and were holders of the FA Cup at the time. On reflection it would be good to do it again 🙂

So FA Cup doesn’t count ? I would like Saints to be near the top of the prem very year , cups like exams don’t mean anything once you get them so silverware is not the best test of success.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/58984823 we do it our way in Folkestone! The Saints band is good as well !

It was a pleasure to watch MOTD for once , Saints won , had loads of chances and scored a great goal ! Also ManU got stuffed by a totally rejuvenated Leicester (sans Vest) and I hate to say it Liverpool seem in a different (higher) league …..

Fantastic 3 points and Man U got stuffed by ex Saints ha ha !

Ings scores , oh for Villa ……

Reminds me of the Doors song “This is the end , my beautiful friend, the end ……

12 shots 2 on target so far

At least you have the correct rhyming slang user name for Saintsweb !

Yes £20m to HRMC.

I see the govt refuse to say what advice they gave the Prem re Saudi takeover of Newcastle ? I wonder why ?

There’s reading between the lines and just making it up a la Boris Ha Ha ! I can’t remember anyone on here supporting the Saudi take over only wishing someone would take Saints over. It was inevitable since Brexit , Truss said at the Tory campaign rally this week that now we’ve given the Europeans the 2 fingers we need to suck up to dodgy Arab regimes . I see Boris vetoed the head of armed forces and put in a navy man so we can rule the waves again , might be good for our friends down the road !

I expect that is exactly what he told her , before his financial position came clear !

The property company that has a 10% stake in NUFC owns plenty of land in the city , unfortunately they seem to be hell bent on building office blocks rather than homes ordinary people could afford to buy . I expect the redevelopment will be similar to central London ie any historical building will be dwarfed by high rises .

Depends on the criteria! It’s not a bigger club at the moment, It may have been a big club in the past attracting such top football men such as Keegan and Shearer but only after they were developed by Southampton Ha Ha !

No not a striker but a goal scorer

He’s out on bail pending investigation.

Population comparison: Southampton City 246000 , Newcastle City 192000 Southampton Urban area 936000 , Newcastle Urban area 814000 . So not population ! Could be tradition ie the main industry in Newcastle upon Tyne was coal mining plus ship building so traditionally more likely to go to football ? Also St James is close to city centre .

BTW Jankers spent another match on the bench on Tuesday .

Yes but it what National teams do , esp after Fergie kept preventing Man U players turning out for their National teams !

Just because he’s named in the squad it doesn’t mean he’s fit to play or he will join up for the match preliminarys !
