The balance between nostalgia and common sense.
To those of us who spent years at the Goldstone, there is always the temptation to look back with rose-tinted specs. The reality is that we have moved forward and are able to offer facilities that compete with the top 10-12 clubs in the country...
I saw the ' lamb stew + roll ' on special at £5 but I didn't see any takers.
There is absolutely no point complaining about catering prices. If they were lower and demand increased, that extra demand would not be served. They can barely cope now!
Well I'm a dullard and saddo then, as I consider the Ipswich game far more important. Championship survival is massively more vital than a one-off game in the FAC.
Don't get fooled by this interest in the Arsenal fixture. If you know anything about football you should know that loads of people...
Quite.
It always puzzles me why fans expect players to be just like them. Fans fill a lot of waking hours thinking about nothing but their club. Players need to switch off and get away from their job, like the rest of us.
Do you think that chefs go home and dive straight into the kitchen and...
Always gets injured. Similar in style to CMS...shoulder of the last man, running into space etc. Decent striker in his time but injuries have taken their toll and not the answer.
With the Vicente signing it was pure shock that a player of that quality should come to us. With CMS, there were signings like Hoskins and Harley, who had excelled against us in Div1 and there was every reason to expect them to do well in the Championship. The feelgood factor about moving into...
Well said that man.
I always belonged to that group of men that had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the doctor. Too stoical for my own good. ..." its nothing...it'll pass...I'm too busy...waiting rooms are full of time wasters etc "
Not any more. Months of chemotherapy have cured that...
They repeated the pricing that Saints adopted for the first tie, namely £10 for adults and £5 for juniors. Result...nearly 60,000 watched both games. Methinks a lesson to be learnt by other clubs when looking out over empty seats for cup games.
Look..we all know in our heart of hearts that we are likely to be shat upon from a great height but inside us all there is that tiny scintilla of hope that there might be a surprise...and if there is, I, for one, want to be inside the stadium.
Agreed.
Spoke to an experienced and highly regarded scout ( very good ex-player ) recently and he was talking about CMS. He talked about what a clever player he was, the running off the ball and how its common knowledge that defenders do not like playing against him. He also said it was...
The virus is called smugitis. It catches you unawares, when you least expect it. It usually follows a period of good health and success. The only cure is rest and realism.
You wouldn't have to support him. His calculating and scheming other half has already ensured that team Blair are set up for life.
( Why do you think we had an open door immigration policy under his tenure? )
