Indeed.
I am not a betting man but 9/2 in a 2 horse race iat home in a league like this is generous anyway.
The only bacon our boys brought home was in their descending colon from breakfast that morning. |

Feeling the dark cloud from yesterday's result still hovering above me this morning I sought comfort from history.
Since I attended my first game at the Dell in 1960 , Saints have played 2061 away fixtures. The records show..
Won 451
Drawn 545
Lost..1065
So I figure we only ever had a 22 percent chance of winning yesterday. If you are easily deluded, as we Saints fans have to be, then 22 is close enough to zero for all practical purposes.
I therefore concluded that we had no f*cking chance yesterday and suddenly I felt positively chipper...  |

I noted that John Inman who played Mr Humphries in Are you Being Served was born in Preston. I'm assuming the ancient few will recall the show.
In honour of that I hope any of our boys finding themselves in space tomorrow should raise their hand, adopt a mincing walk and shout " I'm free " in a high pitched voice.
Sorry...I'll go and get whippet out of scullery and tek it for a trot. |

If a length of coaxial cable with a small camera on the end appears out of your left nostrils you can assume the endoscopist took a wrong turning along the way. |

Parker has had a charisma bypass operation.
It only took Club Brugge about 10 games to work out he was even more boring than them....that's a high bar to jump. |

Geno still ripping it up at 82 y.o.
Playing the Half Moon in Putney this Friday...just down the road....I think I'll swerve it.
When Hendrix first came over Chas Chandler picked him up and got him pick-up gigs with some of his (Chandler's) pop' tastic acts like Unit 4 plus 2.
Might only be the geriatrics on here that can name their only hit. |

Great stuff right there.
Loved the ads...Toomers was the only game in town for Slazenger tennis and squash rackets
Wasn't old man Toomer on our Board at some point.
Loved the drawings of the Plant Hire equipment. |

They do..
And we won 4-1 so relax.
The issue is that the ref is perfectly within his rights to overule the lino BUT he must not be allowed to perform the role of a human VAR system involving a 10 minute chat with him.
Old school says...immediately overule...blow for free kick and run towards the centre circle...any player running after him chirping wins the prize of a yellow card. |

You beat me to that post.
Bragg is young, enthusiastic and talented. He also offers role flexibility in midfield.
And the key thing...Eckert clearly rates the kid and will smooth his rough edges.
Right this minute, if Eckert says it's so, I'm all in. |

Met my cousin for a catch-up last night and mentioned this thread.
He reminded me that our Mums had been skating the week before it got the living shit bombed out of it in 1940.
He recalled that after 2 G and T's that story put them there the day before the bombing and after 2 more G and T's she claimed they were doing their nifty manoeuvres on the ice when the bomb actually hit.
Clear evidence of the direct correlation between alcohol and bullshit. |

That is so evocative...thanks.
I was a budding bike nerd and was interested to know data like the bikes were 500cc single cylinder 4 strokes with no brakes.
Being young was good. |

You're gonna have to be old because it shut in 1963.
If memory serves it was in a complex with the Ice Rink and a dog stadium.
Speedway was really popular back then and the Southampton Saints won the National League in the very early 60's with legendary riders like Barry Briggs and Bjorn Knutsen on the team.
A bit niche but someone on here might have gone. |

That's how I recall it.
Memories fade but I still remember the excitement back in the 60" being ferried over now and again to take a dip.Would probably gave been less hassle to just jump off Hythe Pier.
A crafty Google tells me there were Turkish baths there but I don't recall them. |
