St.Patrik Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 (edited) Bloody Hell what a view - hard to focus on football with that nice suroundings.... Edited 16 July, 2012 by St.Patrik spelling of course....
Matthew Le God Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Cortese should pay to get a view like that shipped to Staplewood.
Noodles34 Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Bloody Hell what a view - hard to focus on football with that nice suroundings.... have you never looked across the Solent?
alpine_saint Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 I love the area round Geneva and Neuchatel. Very pretty.
alpine_saint Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 have you never looked across the Solent? Well I miss looking across at Fawley from Vicky Park, especially in the dark when the lights are on, but thats because I am a Sotonian; I doubt it would appeal to third parties (my wife thinks its hideous).
alpine_saint Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Actually, if you look down at Weston Shore when playing a round from the Dibden Golf club, it looks a bit like that. A bit. I wouldnt stretch the analogy too far.
St.Patrik Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Sadly no - must perhaps try that next time I´m in town? have you never looked across the Solent?
buctootim Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Sadly no - must perhaps try that next time I´m in town? From the Eastern Docks across to Fawley is particularly striking, especially with the sun setting behind Marchwood incinerator.
The9 Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 They must have a hell of a baggage allowance on the plane to get those "Saints" banners which have been hung around the perimeter on board.
stanthemanfairoak Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Is that our Tommy in goal?great freebe for are tommy 3 post ,hol`s in the sun ,and £1500 a week spenders, where the f**k did i go wrong in life?
alpine_saint Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 I fret that our back-up goalie is STILL Tommy Forecast.
Saints67 Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 great freebe for are tommy 3 post ,hol`s in the sun ,and £1500 a week spenders, where the f**k did i go wrong in life? Well if your face looks like your avatar then I'd start there
Badger Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Is that our Tommy in goal? No, its our £6.5m 'triallist' in goal. It was meant to be kept under wraps but yet another camera happy hotel employee has blown it open. Forecast is the one cycling off in the background having taken the lad's morning orders for woodbines, pies ,and Special Brew to scupper the curfew.
PhilippineSaint Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 I fret that our back-up goalie is STILL Tommy Forecast. Is that some sort of wood working Class?? Can you make us a new goalkeeper or just board the goal up?
alpine_saint Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Is that some sort of wood working Class?? Can you make us a new goalkeeper or just board the goal up? Well, a few lengths of 2x4 and a few sheets of MDF would be more effective. Not sure Man City will be too chuffed about the nail holes in their goal posts though.
Minty Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 I fret that our back-up goalie is STILL Tommy Forecast. Nige said they would be bringing in a goalkeeper. There's nowt any of us can do in the mean time, so I really wouldn't worry your pretty little head about it Alps. Life is too short. There are more important things to worry about in life.
krissyboy31 Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 What's the blue stuff at the top of the picture? Don't recognise that!
VectisSaint Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 No, its our £6.5m 'triallist' in goal. It was meant to be kept under wraps but yet another camera happy hotel employee has blown it open. Forecast is the one cycling off in the background having taken the lad's morning orders for woodbines, pies ,and Special Brew to scupper the curfew. Do you think Tommy Fourpast can ride a bike?. I suspect he dropped it just after the photo was taken.
beavis17 Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 calum chambers @Chambo_321 Hardest training session so far this pre-season #blowing
amsterdam Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Southampton FC @officialsaints Here's a shot of the #SaintsFC lads in training with Lake Geneva in the background: http://pic.twitter.com/MByVCIJx Could be a completely pedantic g*t and say that it is Lake Leman in the background rather than Lake Geneva, but I won't....
stanthemanfairoak Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Well if your face looks like your avatar then I'd start there thats not me its tommys dad.
buctootim Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Could be a completely pedantic g*t and say that it is Lake Leman in the background rather than Lake Geneva, but I won't.... Is that a joke, or do you not know that its a different name for the same lake?
hutch Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Could be a completely pedantic g*t and say that it is Lake Leman in the background rather than Lake Geneva, but I won't.... Pathetic effort. Proper pedants know full well it's actually Lac Léman.
amsterdam Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 No - some Vaudois are very sensitive about it - Lake Geneva is a small part around (ironically) Geneva. The lake is Lac Leman... If you fancy a beer anytime in Lausanne, then let me know and I'll invite along some anally-retentive people who will be happy to bore you for hours about this!!
Lighthouse Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 They should have just gone to Windermere, then we'd have none of this nonesense.
trousers Posted 16 July, 2012 Author Posted 16 July, 2012 They should have just gone to Windermere, then we'd have none of this nonesense. And, of course, we all know that Lake Windemere isn't actually a lake...
Badger Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 They should have just gone to Windermere, then we'd have none of this nonesense. The Tale of Tom Forecast. It does have the ring of Beatrix Potter about it.
Lighthouse Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 And, of course, we all know that Lake Windemere isn't actually a lake... Yep it's a mere, hence the name. I think Winder was a viking, can't remember.
buctootim Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Yep it's a mere, hence the name. I think Winder was a viking, can't remember. Yes its a mere, which means 'lake'.

Graffito Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Tommy's there to fetch the ball when it gets booted in the lake. What a backdrop. Beats being fking stuck here.
Pilchards Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 Tommy to Davis, "Make sure you get your body behind it." Davis "You taking the ****?"
Doctoroncall Posted 16 July, 2012 Posted 16 July, 2012 What's that blue stuff in the sky It's the light which due to Rayleigh scattering, makes the sky blue. (I believe, I'm not a pedant!)
