Yeh, my Grandad was stationed there after the war, so my mum went to the Naval school there. My eldest lad was originally going there on his current world tour on the PoW, but that has changed to Gibralter now I think [Post edited 28 May 20:53]

Cheers matey. I can't be doing with having to dress up for dinner etc, but I have promised I'll do it one night. And I can't be doing with small talk about cars or mortgages if I have to share a table with someone. But I am looking forward to it!
I really should go to Malta. Fantastic WWII history where the island as a whole faced unbelievable pressure to survive before a ship eventually got through. My mum grew up there so I will get there one day. |

That's what I'm doing. It's our 25th wedding anniversary and the wife used to work on cruise ships so wants to go as a passenger. I chose Norway as the thought of sitting on my balcony watching us pass the fjords with a whisky appeals to me, but I'm not sure the whole cruise experience does [Post edited 28 May 7:40]

On the plus side, ignoring the vermin who did this, the locals are arranging lifts for people, offering rooms and helping towards hotels for people who have become stranded because of what has happened. Good on them. |

I'll miss Lineker. I think he has done a great job presenting MOTD and seems a decent fella. His 3 replacements are good as well. I won't miss Micah Richards' screeching if he leaves though.
I've never thought the Prem was corrupt, I think it has been more a case of the officials just not being that good, but it's hard to keep arguing that. They'd help themselves more if they admitted mistakes |

As I didn't check dates, I am taking my wife to Bramall Lane instead of Fortress St Mary's. My lad is taking his mate instead |

1. The crowd singing There She Goes before the game was fantastic. And that Spirit of the Blues song is really catchy. Oh, and that young girl playing Z Cars in the violin. Wow.
2. Town after was ace as well. Really good atmosphere in all the pubs. Great to spend some time with Solent Toffee
3. Felt a bit for Aaron Ramsdale. He came over to applaud us and everyone just clapped Charlie Alcaraz. I'm sure he knew it ws nothing personal
4. Pat Nevin took the time out to applaud all the Saints fans when walking round. Top man. Adrian Heath and John Bailey didn't. Understandable.
5. I don't blame the Scouse Liverpool fans, but the accents in the pubs afterwards were 99% local, or Wool at least. Liverpool will never have that again. Also, well done Saints fans for not squinnying or grassing on the few Everton fans in our bit [Post edited 20 May 15:16]

Yeh, The Wombats would be most likely. They seem pretty sound lads as well |

My first visit was around Xmas 93. We put in a pretty awful performance against a terrible Everton side and lost 1-0. Got back to Dennis' coach and as we left, the radio announced news of a managerial change coming after the match. We all waited to hear the news of Branfoot leaving, but it was Howard Kendall quitting again.
I saw the win last time in the league up there and a few draws, but that's it |

I have to pick mine up pre match up there. Not an issue. Unless I then get attacked |

I have season tickets at Saints and Winchester City. Work means I can't go to every game but I have been to all but 2 Saints homes, loads of aways, and about 10 Winchester City games. My record is 2 relegations and no wins at all.
Wouldn't swap that day at Wembley for anything though |

I went to the semi final with some colleagues who are Shots fans. It was quite a day! The sending off was harsh but the Woking captain stamping on a Shots fans was a new one for me.
Been to a few Shots games with them, and there is a decent atmosphere. That barrel roof helps |

Interesting interview with RM on Gary Lineker's podcast. I know some don't like him (or Lineker) but I am a fan of them both as people and this gives a chance for RM to get his views across. He says that Dibling's asset was he was so carefree. That certainly seemed to change under Juric.
He does admit to some mistakes that he would learn from, but also wouldn't change too much (in fact, he says he changed formation too much) |

Just you try and stop me. Actually looking forward to it. This will obviously change once I leave the pub and get to the ground. |
