buctootim Posted 5 May, 2012 Posted 5 May, 2012 How much you reckon one of these Vegas trips cost the club? £100k? Its okay coz Cortese will put next years parachute payment on black.
Genk Posted 5 May, 2012 Posted 5 May, 2012 If it is such a big deal to them then I'm sure they can all get their wallets out and pay for a lads holiday themselves. It's not like the overpaid bunch don't have enough money to go if they really want to.

It's not like the overpaid bunch don't have enough money to go if they really want to. Says a man who is clearly not married with kids....... Picture the two conversations in your own home.... "Honey - me and the lads are heading off to Vegas for a long weekend and a right massive party." vs "Oh wow, the Boss is paying for ALL the lads to go to Vegas for a long weekend and a right massive party, sorry babe I HAVE to go, it's work". Trust me The first line NEVER works when you are married with kids (insert ANY City name btw). But the second line worked all the time
liquidsnake Posted 5 May, 2012 Posted 5 May, 2012 Richard chaplow @Rchap04 Devastated that I'm not in Vegas to watch the mayweather fight!! Had my heart set on that one #ohwell

sambosa75 Posted 6 May, 2012 Posted 6 May, 2012 The fun you could have in Vegas on a professional footballers wage... Chucking $1000 chips around, a load of brasses on the go, VIP tables, all the booze you can drink and all the gear you can sniff. No better way to celebrate. Sign me up.
kpturner Posted 6 May, 2012 Posted 6 May, 2012 Richard chaplow @Rchap04 Devastated that I'm not in Vegas to watch the mayweather fight!! Had my heart set on that one #ohwellThat is because he has to attend the promotion party at St Mary's tonight.

dubai_phil Posted 6 May, 2012 Posted 6 May, 2012 Hint. The Limo bookings were made some time ago. They took account of the fact that there may be some play-off games coming up. HTH
lordswoodsaints Posted 6 May, 2012 Posted 6 May, 2012 Spoke to a player today and the trip has definately been cancelled because one of the players blabbed to the echo,he wouldn't say which player it was and I won't say which player I spoke to.

And how has that been received amongst the squad ? Wasn't it also "blabbed" to the Echo last season as well ?
beatlesaint Posted 6 May, 2012 Posted 6 May, 2012 Spoke to a player today and the trip has definately been cancelled because one of the players blabbed to the echo,he wouldn't say which player it was and I won't say which player I spoke to. To be honest that is ridiculous. So what if they told the Echo ? Anyone who watched the dressing room celebrations put up on the OS or follows any of the players on Twitter knew about it. Still if they really want to go its not like they cant afford it is it ? Perhaps out of the bonus they would have got for getting promoted
Bearsy Posted 6 May, 2012 Posted 6 May, 2012 I don't get why it needs to be secrets? Is they worried about security issues? Is they worried that given advance warnings the echo will send along a reporter and do tabloid scoops on the players being all drunk and doing roastings?
Thedelldays Posted 6 May, 2012 Posted 6 May, 2012 they probably are going...just putting some mis-information out there so the saddos, don't stalk vegas airport
Turkish Posted 6 May, 2012 Posted 6 May, 2012 they probably are going...just putting some mis-information out there so the saddos, don't stalk vegas airport You just know its going to happen. You'll have helmets hanging around the airport in their saints shirts just waiting to greet the players off the plane in their fake American accent which retains a hampshire twang "oi Rickie mush, can I 'ave a picture for me nipper"
natty_noodles Posted 6 May, 2012 Posted 6 May, 2012 Player on our table last night said it was cancelled due to Echo leak and so did a lot of other players so no secret - as everyone has has said they were chanting in the video and putting it on twitter. Player then got a call from the club telling him not to talk about the trip and saying we couldn't say anything - all very very odd

Bit odd regardless.
djharvey Posted 6 May, 2012 Author Posted 6 May, 2012 Sounds like they're still going, but don't want any coverage of it. Bit odd regardless. You really can't see it can you, the players are just d*cking around with any chump that will listen! They must be p*ssing themselves reading some of this.

They must be p*ssing themselves reading some of this. They will probably be laughing the loudest at your insightful contributions. Like the players haven't got anything better to do than collude in some some of joint "fan wind-up"! Get real FFS. Edited 6 May, 2012 by kpturner

kpturner Posted 6 May, 2012 Posted 6 May, 2012 Can't see what?Can't you see? It is plainly obvious to DJ that despite winning promotion and attending award dinners and promotion parties etc, the players have decided that they are bored, and therefore have colluded into fabricating some "the vegas trip is off" story to wind up the fans that they happen to speak to at one of the dinners. They have done this because it will be so hilariously funny - clearly. Come on SM - if you cannot see this then there must be something wrong with you. I was at the awards dinner, and I did wonder why they kept s n i g g e ring behind their hands every time they said something like "it has all gone quiet with regard to Vegas". Now that DJ has set me straight, it has all become clear. I feel so foolish.

He wouldn't say who the chump he told to was and i wont say which player i spoke to either!
kpturner Posted 6 May, 2012 Posted 6 May, 2012 Don't be so hard on yourself, youre not the only chump to be suckered into it, really! It must be fun in your world. How many of the players have you actually spoken to about it btw? Personally I have no idea if this fabled trip is happening or not (nor do I care that much)- but I am pretty sure your "player wind-up" theory is a tad far fetched.

You'll have helmets hanging around the airport in their saints shirts just waiting to greet the players off the plane in their fake American accent which retains a hampshire twang "oi Rickie mush, can I 'ave a picture for me nipper" I dunno. I'd say you were the bigger bellend getting your knickers in a twist over contemplating it so bitterly really.
SaintNeil90 Posted 7 May, 2012 Posted 7 May, 2012 Doesnt look very cancelled to me by Jos Hooiveld & Lallanas recent tweets. Looks like they go today.
Turkish Posted 7 May, 2012 Posted 7 May, 2012 I dunno. I'd say you were the bigger bellend getting your knickers in a twist over contemplating it so bitterly really. I hope you get your picture.
beatlesaint Posted 7 May, 2012 Posted 7 May, 2012 Doesnt look very cancelled to me by Jos Hooiveld & Lallanas recent tweets. Looks like they go today. I was thinking that....if they aint going to Vegas they sure as hell are going somewhere......or they all booked their holidays convinced we wouldnt need the play-offs
trousers Posted 7 May, 2012 Posted 7 May, 2012 Doesnt look very cancelled to me by Jos Hooiveld & Lallanas recent tweets. Looks like they go today. Could be a double-bluff wind up of course.... ;-)
B Rabbit Posted 7 May, 2012 Posted 7 May, 2012 I hope you get your picture. You're not a very nice man...but you are funny. Wanna come to the airport and get photos with me?

Thedelldays Posted 7 May, 2012 Posted 7 May, 2012 I still reckon they ate going. Just don't want people following them
Window Cleaner Posted 7 May, 2012 Posted 7 May, 2012 I still reckon they ate going. Just don't want people following them think they had a few people to greet them at the airport last year, LV Saint perhaps ? Remember seeing some photos on here at the time.
Sour Mash Posted 7 May, 2012 Posted 7 May, 2012 I still reckon they ate going. Just don't want people following them This. Can you imagine how many autographs have been signed and photos been posed for by some of the players in the last week? Would test the patience of even the nicest of blokes.
paris Posted 7 May, 2012 Posted 7 May, 2012 Was thinking this morning , the squad are already winding down some two weeks before the other teams in the prem could this be an advantage when the new season get's underway..me thinks yes ....

If anything you could argue it'd have a negative affect - 4 months of no competitive football is a very long time.

All the players on twitter seem to be excited about packing though, maybe they're just going on a jaunt of their own. (Not that they couldnt afford to go to Vegas if they really wanted to though, right?)

All the players on twitter seem to be excited about packing though, maybe they're just going on a jaunt of their own. (Not that they couldnt afford to go to Vegas if they really wanted to though, right?) As they went to Vegas last year perhaps there were some who didn't want to go there again this year.Had a vote on it perhaps. I mean if you don't gamble and you're not into tired old crooners like Tom Jones and what have you how much fun is Las Vegas? Can't see many of the lads being into loose pussy and hooker either :rolleyes:
CityRanger Posted 7 May, 2012 Posted 7 May, 2012 Haha yeah, Tadanari obviously doesn't understand the code of omerta!
