Evo Posted 7 July, 2009 Share Posted 7 July, 2009 Lol They once produced a different version - it was called "Force-PAM". I asked my mate what the difference was, he replied (in an accent) Iss same like Vega but you get 20% extra free... took a while to work out what he meant, but the plaintiff high pitched cry of "oh no not possible" while on a work trip to Thailand (from the room of one of my employees - honest) sort of gave us a clue Meanwhile, finally proof that after all the comments of the last few years we know what this is all about - somebody wants to play with our train set Ha, brilliant! http://www.click4clinic.com/modules.php?name=Drugs&file=ShowDrug&id=5442 'Seek medical assistance if suffering? an erection for more than 4 hours after taking sildenafil - this may cause damage to the penis' Best move swiftly on, lest I get banned :-\" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkie Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 Just as I thought it couldn't get any better I thought about all the ramifications of not attending SMS and taking my anti-Lowe stance. I had issues with the Dutch dream especially after Rotherham last year. I prepared a match report for the Matchday Programme after that match and it was edited...but here it is in full.... Saints V Rotherham - a fans view. The stadium itself was a little unreal, obviously not designed to host football matches with 3-sides completely empty, which kept the ball boys very busy. Not a bad turn out for a Tuesday in Sheffield, I remember going to Sheffield Wednesday in the 1980s and there were only 25/30 of us there in the Leppins Lane end! The game itself seemed to pass me by. Saints gave away a sloppy goal from a corner in the first half, and then it was half time. The second half was no better, giving someone a shooting chance from 20-yards to make it 2-0. We huffed and puffed and tried to raise spirits with a “Oh When The Saints” but after Stern John had got us back into the game, the mix up in communications saw an easy tap in for 3-1. Thankfully the group around me resorted to singing at the Rotherham fans, which were remarkably quiet seeing they were winning 3-1. It comes to something to say the highlight of the evening where the chants aimed at the home fans. The best chant of the evening for me was the “We’ve got more points than you” or the “We can see you sneaking out” aimed at Saints fans who’d had enough after 75-mins. The Woolston Ferry song rang around The Don Valley Stadium – surreal! I used to think Saints sides were lazy, money grabbing journeymen – now with all the huff and puff of the youth we clearly aren’t good enough. Personally I’ve given my all as a fan for 40+ years, but I can’t do it any more. When at my age the game passes you by and you find singing at the home fans more entertaining than the game itself - it’s time to quit. No anti-Lowe songs, although someone did try to start “Rupert Lowe’s Red & White Army” – it never caught on! So remember folks - this change (if it happens) was brought about by people staying away from SMS and not giving money to the club. Administration was not the fans fault but the fault of the mis-management over the last 5/6 years at all levels of the club. There are no better fans. There are no "more "loyal fans. We are "Saints fans" in it together for life...good or bad! BTW my grandfather was Swiss - does that qualify me for a ST next season? "I'll be back" - let's hope people return in their hoardes. "UNITED" - oops sorry wrong club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 As posted eslewhere.. Yikes Well MB, this gives us worried about Fry paranoids even more ammunition. Was this due to delay by the "mystery group"? Old School Tie? Marketing B***S? A puppetmaster pulling the strings? Or is it really, after all we have been through FINALLY the REAL DEAL? That gossip thread looks more and more likely to last to the dangerous 150 page mark To which I would add - overseas Investment Fund - sorry - doesn't work - that means secured against assets, which means leveraged buy out , which means interest charges. Unless of course the Swiss deal involves somebody "borrowing" the money from Liebherr.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a great engineering tradition, a waterside that needs developing and Liebherr's links with the port are strong. And the town's economy needs reviving as much as the club's. Makes sense.
