Seeing as no one on here is under the age of 32 except BG, it seemed like a much needed thread, a safe space for those of us in the club to discuss such woes.
My opening question: Why do some bald men wet shave their heads? Clipper shave it by all means, but sporting the ‘turtle’s head’ wet...
Like The Clamp, I can’t have any crap in the house. I’ve gone through those custard cream or bourbon 36 double family packs in minutes and am still looking around for more. 200g bar of chocolate goes in equally quick time. I literally have to be on the point of feeling sick before I’ll stop...
As has been suggested before, have a £2.75 ‘late entry’ ticket to the stadium for those happy to wait on the concourse until the early exodus starts, those punters then take the early leavers seats as they start vacating. A win-win all round and it doesn’t look quite so embarrassing on TV, as...
For those that can this option is a no-brainer for me. You’re immediately free of the whole exodus neurosis and are your own boss, cycling past the black masses queuing at the train station, or those stuck in traffic trying to exit the car parks. 100% appreciate it’s not feasible for a lot of...
It's funny what people latch onto. To me too there was something about them, in the 80s I guess, having no black players at a time when they were a feature of pretty much every other top flight team.
SaintsWeb has never had much traffic compared to most clubs of a similar stature, which is somewhat bizarre, unless there’s a bigger SFC forum out there that I’ve not yet stumbled across.
An interesting, and somewhat surprising read seeing as GP always reiterates in interviews that he doesn’t like singling any particular player out. At least any regrets on Stephens’ part that he didn’t get the Burnley move are, I imagine, long forgotten, him now playing under a manager like GP...
Red is definitely the colour you don’t want for your stadium seats (or your car for that matter), as they always end up a sun-bleached pale red/pinkish colour after a year or two. The empty ones at Southampton wouldn’t look out of place at Selhurst, even though the two stadiums were...
100% this, I’ve never understood the love-in with him and the pedestal some people put him on. You’d think he was a footballing intellectual the way some people gush about him when really he’s (imho) not the sharpest tool. He’s also inherited two decent and costly squads at both Derby and...
100% was and has been rightly criticised as such. Eastwood as director/producer, as he was with that flick, seems to have a penchant for schmaltzy film making, his relatively recent effort The Mule was a shocker in that department, and I haven’t seen Million Dollar Baby, but can again imagine...
Have never, before or since, ever seen a packed cinema audience (we saw it in central London) completely break down almost as one at that scene, it was unreal, sobbing, the sound of dry heaving, and outside afterwards people honestly sat on the kerb red-eyed, smoking, still in absolute pieces, a...
Unlike you, some of us only support one football team so it's less of an issue for you BHA losing, I get that. For the rest of us, another 3 points hypothetically dropped is not something to be (hypothetically) entertained. Stick with Spurs and rugby.
I think you meant to post Linda Henry's classic line to a scruffy, washed-up Daniel Dyer at the end of The Business:
"I used to really bloody fancy you"
It’s not your fault that you posted that clip David in Southampton, it’s not your fault. Only watched it again last week coincidentally, and that (“It’s not your fault”) scene in Williams’ office still has me welling up each time.
