Probably partially responsible for Branfoot getting sacked was Moody. When that idiot started picking him ahead of Le Tiss Branfoot's spell was basically over |

They might not have encouraged you on the last game (i don't count the brighton game as the last game) but plenty of us did.
I pulled mine up in the archers and used it to scoop some of the turf up when everyone went on the pitch, the turf was planted in my mum's garden (i was living in a flat at the time and didn't have a garden) and i donated my seat to the Wagon when Jason re-did it so it's up on the wall there now (along with my copy of the infamous "hope you die soon" branfoot OTM).
We also broke into the Dell well after they'd shut it - with the help of a friendly security guard who caught us trying to rip the milton road road sign off the side of it and just let us in instead).
Plus one drunken night out we removed the massive wrought iron gate that used to close the rat run from the archers to the milton road, think we got about 20foot down the road with it before giving up because it was too heavy and we were too drunk |

Similar to others I guess
1. Wolves, worst ground in the league for away fans as your on a low tier at the side and it’s shit to drink to
2. West Ham, because the stadium is sh*t but on the plus side there’s some great pubs
3. Bournemouth, their desperate attempts to create a rivalry annoy me to the extent I don’t bother going now
4. Newcastle, what’s the point? We never win there
5. Fulham, mainly cause I’m bored of it and it costs a fortune for a pint
Saying that I’ll probably end up doing them all because what else are you going to do on a Saturday? |

Kachloul was a good player for us at the time, though the general standard of that side wasn't great, which was proven by how annoyed people were when he left |

And still so many missing, players like Stig Johanson (i think i spelt that right?), Scott Hiley, Van Gobbel, and i'm sure there's more lurking in brain somewhere too |

i can't remember Chala ever getting a game other than pe-season, think he was mostly there to keep Delgado company.
Talking of which Delgado has been waiting a very long time to come back and celebrate with us in the streets when we win the league (which he promised he'd do when he left) |

Lee Todd is the single worst footballer i've seen play for Saints (and i include Ali Dia in that too).
I'd also argue for Paul Wotton who had the footballing ability of a breeze block, and as controversial as this is i'd probably also include Franny (despite him being a great bloke he really wasn't a great footballer).
Funnily enough the hardest position for me is probably keeper, Kelvin would be a good shout there (in the time i've been going), and despite what Nick says Gav is definitely thereabouts
Strikers is somewhere we have an abudance of shitnesss, Dixon, Speedie, Paul Moody, Neil Bartlett (remember him?) and Frankie Bennet spring to mind for me [Post edited 6 Jun 13:44]

Not sure which game you went to but they definitely didn't sit in silence the times i've been, probably one of the loudest grounds i've been to in the country and the chip butty song is one of the best chants any club has.
I personally like old fashioned football grounds (not stadiums) and Brammal Lane still feels tight to the pitch and the fact it has proper "ends" makes it feel more intimidating.
Plus of course Sheffield is a cracking day out for the beer |

Not really too fussed about any of them as i've done them all multiple times but if i had to choose
1. Ipswich because it's a good away day for pubs and i've got some mates there
2. Manchester United, better than City for pubs as you have places like the briton's protection & Peveril of the Peak near oxford road
3. Everton/Liverpool, again more for the day out than the ground/game
4. Brighton because it's always a great day out and an alright ground
5. Forest, the city ground is a cracking ground and Notts is a great city to drink in |

I used to love London Road when it was a proper covered terrace but i think it's now seating sadly. |

Least favourite for is one of Wembley, The Emirates or Spurs new grounds.
Brammal Lane, The New Den and Home Park probably my favourites (although i also really liked the New York Stadium) |

I'm on 58 of the 92 now, all done with Saints. One of the annoying things about promotion is i'm going to struggle to add new ones next season |

Yeah it's funny how often the players that make it aren't the "best" players, i used to play football with Lukas Jutkiewicz as he grew up near me (his sister was in the same year at school with the sister of one of my best mates).
He was definitely not the most naturally gifted or "best" player out of our group, but he was definitely the most serious about playing and hardest working.
The best player i played with never got further than playing for Totton occasionally as he enjoyed going on out on the piss more than training |

Blimey spend a few days away from this place and come back to find it's gone full f*cking mental, though I have to say thanks to St Ripper, not laughed so much from a thread on here since Turkish left |
