Free Falling Foxes

I must be old, I remember when it was a shilling (5p) I still can hear the call of, 'Bob's gone' when the lights went out. Someone would then fumble around in the dark to put a shilling in the meter. I also recall the meter man coming to empty the meter. He would sit at the bottom of our stairs with a bag absolutely loaded with 1/- coins from his round.

He does. This image doesn't even show the machine gun posts and mine field.

Why the hell can't a player who just strolls around the training pitch - as referred to in the Daily Mail article - get sacked? The (Football/LCFC) world's gone mad.

Indeed. Far fewer media comments of fans feeling 'Entitled' and now a realisation that those who saw this coming 3 or 4 years ago, were bang on.

An whole new set of supporters we can sing 'Champions of England, you'll never sing that' to. Can't wait.

I'm concerned about how Saturday's 15:01 kick-off time might affect the players. After all, they're not used to starting that early.

I'm calling it Division One - makes me feel better anyway.

Ffs, we were crying out for some HB pencils and what do we get? HH. To make matters worse, we bought them second hand from Southampton. Their fans can't believe we've taken yet more of their cast offs. You couldn't make it up.

This may have already been asked but this thread is too long now to trawl through. What is the nearest end of season points deduction that's been made so far? With this saga going on for so long, could our lawyers argue something along the lines of this drawn-out process is bordering on a 'Restaint of trade' and/or 'A cruel and unusual punishment'? Dramatic perhaps, but the consequences are we, nor our competitors, know how this will affect our futures and thereby have consequences for decisions already made or about to be made. Lots of possible ramifications I think. Imagine, if come the final whistle at the end of the season, there is some doubt as to final play-off places and/or relegation spots.

I can't weigh some judges up. This one is reported as acknowledging he was upset standing in the dock today and added, "I understand why you were upset earlier. I will sentence you on Friday. "It will be a very tough day in your life and it will be a very long day." Ahhh, poor thing. I do hope they go easy on him. The judge probably sits next to Mandelson in the House of Lords.

Gumtree. Against my better judgement, I've placed an ad on that site As per my previous handful of times used it, the results are exactly the same. *Within a few hours, someone messages to ask if the item is still available. I reply it is and then? Nothing. *Or, you may get as far as arranging for the item to be collected, but no one turns up. *You put 'collection only', and folk ask if I'll post it. *You are giving something away and they ask, will you deliver - even if its 50 miles away! I'm convinced that there are some people who spend their days on Gumtree looking for newly placed ads and think, Snigger, I'll going to have some fun here.

Taken from BBCs HYS: Saints fan. Russell Martin rated him but problem is he can't turn and move the ball forward. He always tries to fumble the ball through the legs of his marker and invariably loses possession, No loss to us. Should slot straight in......

Yeah , forgot that one.

The way things are panning-out for us currently, I'm expecting at least one of the following to happen within 2 or 3 matches with this signing. Sent off. Injury that effectively ends his season. Gives away a penalty.

Leicester's lost railway line.

Not too sure we'll make the recovery position.

Credit to the Charlton boss. He's the first victorious manager that hasn't said he's really pleased with the 3 points because, 'Leicester have quality all over the pitch'. Even he realises how s4it we are.

Going down at least gives me a chance to tick off some new grounds - will come from someone on here.

You might like to add a comma to that.

Can imagine King saying to Winks can you at least try.

It is dodgy. I clicked on it, now it transpires I'm in the starting 11 today.

That's alright. They'll be three chances at matching what we did and none will come close

Don't they chop off the hands of thieves over there? I mean, he's been stealing a living here so he better be careful.

Failed to explode, thank goodness. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-27/man-charged-making-explosives-after-perth-invasion-day-rally/106272888
