SaintsWeb Forum Match 2010 at St Mary's - 6.45pm kickoff TONIGHT - free entry!

[dubai_phil]

Thanks for the tips, you've just given your opposition striker plenty of ideas on how to be fully prepared for the match. Cheers mate.

 

Don't worry, having the techie guys in the away team you shouuld of course have realised that we managed to install web cams in all your bedrooms and we actually sold the movie rights to a Chinese Dodgy DVD Company. Which of course means that we have sponsorship for the After Party

Only the away team would wish to view such things. If you have any contacts with webcams in bible readings my team with high moral standing will be happy to watch those.

I have of course been practising my moaning,I just have been watching Avram Grants greatest moans and am sharpening myself up with them

I am more than happy to have my "Nocturnal Activities" sold in the name of alcohol! Taking one for the team, my missus on the other hand......

[hamster]

Have you lot agreed a post match venue yet? I need to know what threads to iron and which scent to wear.

surely he learnt it all from you?

Funnily enough, that's what she said last time we met, @oh well then I suppose I'll have to take one for the team"..... Or did I say that, darned if I can remember must have been the Bullfrogs.

 

Anyway get the webcam feeds coming in, it may be something we can send to Avram to teach him how to moan effectively.

 

Hamster. Let's be honest here how the Feck do you expect me to help select the after party venue? If it were up to me it would be Rock Bottom followed by Media.Com home karaoke until the pubs open for Brunch on Friday, unfortunately don't think Matt Le Tiss would make it that far. (The Flybe plane not the legend of course)

 

Dock Gate 5,976 seemed a really good starting point, my only real input is PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE anywhere except that 80's bar. (Unless everywhere else is shut of course)

 

Oh bugger, just remembered need to start work on blagging a complimentary hotel room for the night

[hamster]

DG4 is I am afraid not on my list of places to be seen. There simply must be somewhere that sells proper beer fopr the proper fans! Even their Guinness is the plastic stuff.

 

I'll probably just saunter off home and maybe nip in The waggoners for a swift half. You lot enjoy yourselves.

Dear Hamster

 

I live a reclusive life, my days of battling with red tape are brightened by my occassional trips back to Dear Old Blighty and the chance for me to quaff many pints of Wadworth's 6X, Fullers London Pride or Courage Directors. DG4 as a chill out lounge was humming, simply becuaee we were there. Coming such a distance for such a high profile event, SURELY there must be SOMEWHERE that we can drink real beer if just for one night, heck if one of the suites could be persuaded to open I'd even order a mini-barrel (not for sharing of course)

 

Come on you trendy in -crowd types Get with the ideas dudes!

 

Bottle of Duty Free Jagermeister for the winning suggestion

Good idea Gaffer.

 

Avtually, why not get SWF to rent one out and make it the venue of the SWF end of season bash.

 

Incorporate a 'Player of The Season' presentation; we're bound to have a vote thread coming up in a couple of weeks anyway, so why not make it official?

 

Nicola has said that he is gonna deal with the 'beer' issue and what better way of soing it than by getting a few local breweries to donate a barrel and we vote for the winner; winner being given a one season contract.

 

'Coast' could do a set for free and we could even have a charity auction with proceeds going to an adopted charity.

 

It would be immense imho.

 

It'll never happen of course!

Believe young Master Luke, the force is strong with this one.

 

Don't just sit there get on it. Nick - ties in with that idea we had

My god a SWF get together , it would look like the bar in Star Wars mixed with One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest.

If somebody wants to orgasnise it then great. One thing make sure money to cover the room is taken in advance, I wouldnt trust the lot on here LOl.

Any good ideas I would welcome them, the player of the season thing would be good, as Im sure the recipient would love to pick up an award from us lot!!

Can get the newly refurbished function room at the Saints Pub for free, beers £2.35 a pint, seating for 100, capacity 200 and before anyone suggest its a hole, I will emphasise the 'newly refurbished', I know its Millbrook but the new owners really have turnt it around, its now the busiest pub outside of the city centre.

Well that seems good to me, who is going to nick a tank from Bovington to get us in and out safely.Lol

It does seem an apt venue, the pints of beer at 2.35 doesnt interest me, could you get the price of Pina Colada's, and does it come with an umbrella and all the trimmings.

If this is true about the function roomnlets have a vote of interest.

Im a yes man........oops not in the Phil Neale type of way

My two inputs -

1) It's Granty's gig so has to be his call

2) It's a long old drag across town for those of us without wheels crashing in hotels that night.

 

Otherwise sounds like the start of a plan. What time do they close? and would EoA's nruse (from the last away day theme thread be there?)

 

Ouch, no dear, that was a joke no ouch honestly no I would ouch never no good night

[JustMike]

training update gaffer!

 

have run 3.5 miles this week and have stayed off the beer for 1 week too. Plan to have no beer until our after match victory party and will up the running to 6 miles a week. :-)

Training Update.

I was on Fire yesterday.

 

No literally.

 

38C and as humid as a Turkish Wrestlers Jock Strap, our Golf Society had a day out on the companion to the "Race to Dubai's" Earth Course - Fire by Greg Norman a whopping 7,062 yards long.

 

Nothing really interesting in that (apart from the fact I was completely krap).

 

What WAS interesting is that one of the guys had been having a row with his missus about Exercise and Keeping Healthy. She claimed that driving a buggy and whacking balls with a stick wasn't exercise.

 

The row became serious and as such the bloke was forced to wear a Pedometer to prove how much (or little) exercise he got. Astonishingly, at the end of the 18 holes the device (set up by a neutral), showed that he had completed 14,632 steps.

 

If you take and average pace at being 0.6m, that works out at a whopping 8.8kms.

 

Now I could understand the jibes if that had been my figure (I played military golf - left, right, left, right, oh sh1t! backwards, forwards), but the bloke actually won the competition.

 

Anyway 8.8kms in 38C is a fecking good workout twice a week. Should ensure I am capable of standing up in the technical area for 90 minutes (Magners permitting)

 

All I have to do now is cut out the 6 beers to re-hydrate after each round and I may even have the strength to make it out for the warm up again this year!

you are taking this a tad seriously. Upping it to 6 miles FFS. Most of my team are training to make the long walk up the tunel.

A bit of fatherly advice, like Phils golf when you have no idea where the ball is going after you strike it, you need to be able to run 6 miles.I suggest a few hours getting to know the basics of passing the ball and in the correct diction

Could take your own advice there regarding some of your posts as well

 

Still, easy typo to make with your whole Mars Bars/Shower theme.

 

Still strangely enough thanks for the chance to expand on my golf yesterday.....

 

I did have one long walk after hitting a ball yesterday on a 595 yard Par 5.. it was measured out at 345 yards and sat dead centre of the actual fairway it was supposed to be on. And not even a sprinkler head bounce to go that far! That one's in the record books for D_P.

 

Mind you, the other 117 shots were utter garbage :mad: and OF COURSE that hole wasn't in the longest drive competition (I manged 142 yards sideways on that one and only because it hit a rock in the middle of the lake off the tee!)

 

Ho hum

haha no amount of training is going to help me pass the ball in the correct direction but at least i will be fitter by the time the game has past, and i will still carry on running too. Aim to do the marathon...one day;)

My team eat Marathons (now Snickers of course) Im not sure 26 miles is enough for you to run and retrieve the balls, Foxy puts a lot of power into his shots and one of the balls in the last game was last seen heading towards Chilworth

Training really hard boss .sat on the beach in Malaga sipping a budwiser

Why are you stealing my teams training regime?

Typical of Phils teams underhand tactics

[hamster]

The Saints pub would be great, especially as nick has an improved chance of pulling something other than nhis calf muscle in Millbrook.

 

I think it would be too long a trek from the stadium, and let's not forget that some of the s****ier players are poshing it up in 5* hotels. A suite in the stadium would be too formal I'd say but what about the Chapel Arms? Anyone want to give them a bell and see what they could offer.

 

mrs h wants to know how you lot intend making sure that little old me is going to get home safely? Bless her, but she does have a point. How exactly will I be getting home, I have a little history re. sleeping out of doors.

I think most of my teams wives are asking the same question of how their loved ones are going to get home safely after your late tackles.In fact as you ran about like a rabid dog kicking all that moved during the last game, or even if it wasn't moving I suspect your own team are renewing their insurance policies.

The game is fast approaching, exciting aint it?

Seems so long ago now Nick, can you remind me what the score was mate?

 

While you're at it could you also remind me who owes me beer too please? I did have a list but it got put in the washing machine, I'm sure that you were on it nick.

[ooohTerryHurlock]

scud

 

what info do you need for the programme again... and when by??

 

cheers

Before the cheating was in full swing 3-1 to my side. Duckworth Lewis calculations showed it as a 5-1 victory to us, the stewards enquiry showd a 3-1 victory to us but the ref (Phils uncle) a 4-3 victory to the Pompey impersonators.

I have had a couple of coomplaints form former players in my team who are most distraught to have to play in your side. Another injustice.

As for the drink after the game, I would be more than happy to buy you one, come and see me after all your teammates manager and friends have bought you one and I'll see what I can do.

[The9]

There you go again discussing Hamsters Tackle.

 

I haven't quite felt the same since he inserted it half way up my body in the first few seconds...

[maddog]

What time is everyone getting to the stadium?

[dubai_phil]

It's not an event you want to be late for so I'm getting there on the Sunday morning nice and early just in case the traffic is bad on the way down from Salisbury......

[Um Bongo]

Apparently the pitch is being relaid again this year, so can we take some home with us?

[dubai_phil]

gor blimey.

 

Life is Sooo hard when you're a global superstar. You guys have no real idea how big this event is going to be on the World Stage..

 

I mean there I was this evening just sitting down to watch Simon Pegg in "How to Lose Friends & Alienate people" (I was looking for some tips), when the boys rang up and asked if they could come round.

 

They'd heard I took training seriously and wanted to get in shape for the Big event tomorrow night.

 

So of course I had to let them round to use the Karaoke to brush up ready for the Big Concert - Rod Stewart supported by Spandau Ballet tomorrow night - True..

 

They managed to get Through the Barricades outside the front door.

 

Tony was fine (if a little over weight these days) but I'm sorry, it got out of hand when Rod called up.

 

I didn't think it was wrong to say - "Look Rod I don't mind you coming round for a blast on the Bagpipes and all that, but I'm sorry mate, there really is NO WAY I can get you into the Away Team no matter how much you chip in for the after party. How can I let my boysh down?"

 

Was that wrong? I mean as one global superstar to another he must understand it's not all plain Sailing.

 

Like I said, just because you've spent the last 30 years hoping that Maggie May doesn't mean all your dreams come true.

 

He wore it well and promised to sing a song he wrote about me for me tomorrow night. Something about If I'm Sexy, no idea, sounded a bit ghey.

 

Jeez, the things some people will try on to get into the Away Team. Anyway you're all safe chaps.

Now children if this is not enough to teach you not to go out into the sun without suncream and a hat on, I don't know what is.

[lee_saint]

Went to the doctors today, signed off work for a week with strained achilles tendon. Looks like I may be out of this one.....

[Um Bongo]

Any update Steve?

[SaintDonkey]

Is the home side actually cursed - or has Phil had his agents out nobbling the opposition? And if he has should I be insulted that he hasn't gottten around to crippling me yet

Im starting to take this personally, if we are not careful Ill be putting my boots on!!!

Looks like Fordy will have the pleasure of being managed by the 'Chosen One'...oh my wife has said I misheard her and she said I was the 'The Cloven one'

[B Rabbit]

Maddogs younger, more handsome and physically fit brother expressed an interest in playing if the oppotunity arose. He plays in goal....maybe he could slot in there and Spades out on the pitch should Lee not be able to play due to him injuring his ovaries.....

[lee_saint]

I'm going to give it to the end of the week anyway, I'll play in goal happily, if I do what the doc said then there is a chance i'll be fit....xXxXx

[Sfc90]

Just to let you guys know. I'm playing in one of these games on the 19th I think it is and we've been informed that the home dressing room is being refurbished, so we wouldn't have access to the players benches and that we would have to get changed in the physio area. Might be worth getting in touch with someone at the stadium to find out.

[fos1]

Have not had the call yet from the chosen one !!!

[Spades]

As iv said to Lee on facebook, im more than happy to hand the gloves over to Lee and play in RB if he isnt fit enough. Im actualy not a bad defender if i put my mind to it!

[JustMike]

something has come up and i may have to pull out. :-(

 

if it comes to it, any standbys want my left back, 90 min away team spot?

[lee_saint]

I'll jump in goal Spades, even if I'm fit I'm not going to get much match practice in....just make sure Steve swaps the numbers around.

[dubai_phil]

Now children if this is not enough to teach you not to go out into the sun without suncream and a hat on, I don't know what is.

 

Tony was great, came round with the Limo and the beer. Down side was it had the name of his Scaffolding Company on it. (Oops sorry I didn't intend for you to think it was THAT Tony)> Picked up Rod on the way (he owns the company here that supplies the al important Portaloos at these events

 

Everyone who is anyone was at the gig, although didn't see anyone there who was under the age of about 400 - even Mrs EoA was allowed out apparently.

 

Spandau were superb - shouldn't have been but they really rocked - all us wrinkies singing along with that inane - half cut/happy memories grin on our faces. (Shame about their new stuff though)

 

And as for Rod, oh yes, up there in the legend status, big show, big act and if my hangover wasn't so bad I'd notice I'd lost my voice singing too much.

 

Meanwhile, I just want to point out that I have NOTHING to do with the Series of Unfortunate Events that is befalling the Home Team. I am of course (as you will all know) a Sun God, not a Witch. (Douglas Adams wrote about my brother the Rain God in one of his 5 Hitchhiker trilogy books)

 

We all know which Manager has already admitted to having a Witch in their household. Perhaps someone doesn't want their better half having a big night out in Southampton and is taking measures.... Eye of Newt and Hair of the Dog and all that.
