Re: More than one owl? Count me in! SWFC away 12/1

Big Bad Bazzer Siddall and his performing tash! He was my boyhood hero.. I was only small though so I suspect he may have been bobbins He was my first keeper too, Norm. Anyone remember Charlie Wright int' nets? I believe he wasn't very good. Read also Dennis Peacock and Mike Salmon. Charlie was in ...

Steve Banks... Sadly no relation or resemblance to Gordon
Gavin Ward looked the part until kick off then he looked more like Rachel..

Re: More than one owl? Count me in! SWFC away 12/1

Am I the only one who thinks Amos "could have done better" with the first? It was a good hit but relatively straight? It didn't curl around his reach? He is susceptible to the odd long-ranger and is gradually being found out. I don't think he's up to it. I said "should have done better" earlier. Ma...

Re: More than one owl? Count me in! SWFC away 12/1

Not sure what Wheater could have done different on the 3rd.. ? He got done. More than arguably a foul for high foot. 'Play the whistle', is all very well but The striker was gone There wasn't an earthly of Big Dave turning getting back into position to make a tackle and succeeding. At the very best ...

Re: I'm buying a ticket for the $900m jackpot.

Is it true that they're only paying it out as $45m per year for 30 years or something? Nice wage, but not sure you'd have much left over after our running costs!! You can do that, or you can take a lower total amount in a lump sum. That works out to a paltry $806 million. Before taxes, of course. T...

If it really was $1.3 billion then it would be £839,744,702,409 That said 1300 million would probably keep the floodlights on for a couple of weeks! Pah! It wouldn't keep the wags in Prosecco.

Re: Can we Marc Bolton down for Solid Gold Eastleigh Action?

they had some right chances. Everyone is saying this but Amos made one save of note.. and Wheater cleared a scrambled mess off the line when there was a fan on the pitch... Dervite was their only other shot on target their keeper made three top class saves, the one from Prattleys curler was an abso...

Bit harsh..
I think we were worth our draw on a Sunday league pitch.. On a different day we'd have won quite confortably but their keeper made three super saves.
They look decent in possession and played some nice football but didn't create much..
