    Shame your knowledge of great English literary figures doesn't match your splendid use of the language. I suppose you'll be claiming that Chaucer came from Fratton, next? <laugh>

    By the way, is "au fait" classed as Queen's English? <whistle>

    No, but I believe Benny Hill was born in Southampton, brecon <ok>

    Shame he is dead really, as he would have done a great job running down the flanks at St Marys, with his signature tune playing over the tannoy. As long as he had a scantily clad nurse to chase of course. Perhaps Fraulein Liebherr could have dressed up, or Ronnie Koeman in drag.........<laugh>

    That would have brought the fans in.

    Your right Woops, everything is worth a try, I mean
    Your 11 clowns that run around on match day has brought in a good size crowd.

    Spot on, Possum.

    You must be referring to our '11 clowns' who have picked up 7 points out of a possible 9 this season, currently unbeaten, have got us to 4th place in the table, and hardly cost us more than a few quid to sign ?

    Correct Woops, you can't beat a good cheap show.

    My local Sunday League team have won 4 out of 4 and there's no charge to watch them -this must make me happier than you? (the fact that they are in the Cynon Valley League is, of course, totally irrelevant). <cheers>

    Missed the point, Wooperts! How's the Shakespeare statue outside your ground coming along - is SB3 in support of it?<whistle>

    So does "plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose".....still not English. I'll allow you "loan words" but "Queen's English" ? Then again, she's German, I suppose?

    Isn't that the statue of Milan Mandaric (should have been Ted Bates) erected outside St Fairys Stadium? <laugh>

    Well, in fairness the suit and the trousers are not bad really. If it was a statue to Hepworths, it would have been fine. It would have also been fine as a statue of Al Mirage. I mean, who was going to say that it was a poor likeness?

    It's not only a bad likeness of Ted, but it's so incredibly out of proportion.

    No matter how many places above us you may be, you'll still always be in our shadow
