    Several people (or perhaps the same person several times?) has questioned Long's value at the price paid....don't get that. I know he cost 3 Charlie Austins, but even Charlie Austin is worth more than one Charlie Austin. I bet there are a few teams struggling at the moment who would pay 12 million for Shane (not that he's for sale).

    But isn't allowed any because he has been naughty. Also been sent to Coventry whilst the others are in Dubai. :)

    Sunderland and Stoke have gone to Dubai. According to Sky, we are staying at home but team have been given time off.

    You're quite right, I'm being a bit harsh. Mostly I remember it was the £ we paid as raising a few eyebrows, mine included.

    All players do have flaws, it actually makes me appreciate them more on the whole*. Proof I guess as Benali remains my favorite Saints LB, his effort and passion did it for me. Oh and that header.

    * excepting Tommy Forcast.

    What's all this Victor likes spaghetti thing? OK, no big deal, most people do, but why am I reading that VW likes spaghetti in particular. Is it a rumour being experimentally launched to see how long it floats?

    Like Liverpool apparently :) Their name pops up as a knee-jerk response.

    The Vic likes likes spaghetti link comes from a tweet from the man himself....

    I've always wanted to try this. I reckon if enough people were to 'credit' it we could start a rumour on here n get it in the press <laugh>

    Unless of course you're American, in which case there is no 's' at all! Do the math, as they say!

    Plus don't want you to get injured during international duty, so hope you keep these to Saints only. You may come down with whatever DTLW's got.

    All the Italian restaurants I ever gone to, and ordered spaghetti, have made it badly. Sometimes appallingly so. Then again, I look at the efforts of celebrity chefs, when they say, this is my/the authentic spaghetti, and you find yourself shouting, no No NO! :)

    They put herbs with it, or leave it too wet or do loads of other rubbish, like woefully under cooking it like that's how the locals eat it. No they don't. :rolleyes:

    Spaghetti is really dead simple. Yet they still **** it up. :)

    Being ½ Italian, Bolgnese is a bit of a favourite with me. The nearest recipe I have seen to "how my mamma made it" is Gino D'Acampo's recipe in his 'Taste of the Sun' book.

    NewsNow will have it up within the hour, unless their bots are fooled by the random crashing of the site.

    We should do it in the Summer, how funny would it be if we could get it in one of the nationals <laugh> I'm pretty sure one of the north east teams done something similar before on the old 606. Not 100% though.

    We've spoken about doing this before. Thing is it requires commitment from people to spread the word. People are too laid back on here to bother. But, by all means have a go.

    Someone who looked suspiciously like Fraser turned into the Staplewood car park at 9:15 this morning.
