What's with the lapel pin? It looks like a flower his kid cut out. Or an 8 with a little crown. Royal 8.

That is a poppy which are worn up to Rememberance day, which is today, 11/11. Everybody wears them everywhere for about two weeks prior...

We observed a two minute moment of silence in Tesco today. It was weird because the store was really busy and then everyone just stood still for 2 minutes.

Pretty much. All of those who were killed in wars, basically.

been a good year so far, hoping the rest of the season goes as well :D

you can download our 45 seconds of fame here, worth it for the tubbs goal alone 8)

draw at 4.10 uk time, fingers crossed for a good tie (one where we can win / one where we can have a party day out)

holy fuck.

we got a home tie against nottingham forest. nottingham "former european champions, premiership club,currently top of division 1" forest.

:shock:

i hope i can get a ticket for this one. might get moved to st mary's (southampton's ground) as they're playing away that weekend - capacity 32000 compared to 4000 - but it would be more of a leveller to play the game here.

*starts queuing for tickets*

This was originally Armistice Day (11am 11/11/1918), forever popularizing the phrase "the eleventh hour."

I watched the game last night. your boys made forest look like chumps in the second half. and I don't think I've ever heard so many "fucks" from the crowd on a broadcast. Great result. Do you know if they next game will be broadcast here?
