Jack, I hope you and your father have peace during this difficult time.
I just joined this site after reading for a week. And your posts just have this ring of truth. It explains things that havenāt made sense. Keep writing as you can. Itās been really interesting
And I think Iām probably the only Saints fan in Illinois. But Iām a die-hard fan, since 1987. COYS
Cherts - Elmbridge Arms? - any good? Think it was revamped fairly recently-ish.
I know the old incarnation was a bit of a dump
Yep me tooā¦canāt really add any more to thatā¦Iām sure many of us understand what youāre going through.
I third this. This place is starting to show a lot of togetherness again, after a few weeks ago, when it seemed like everyone wanted to kill each other. Great to see. 
Err, is this for realā¦?

ffsā¦I think we can do better.
Good skills for beating Optimus to spreading the gossip.
That doesnāt sound like the kind of manager that they chosen in the past. It does sound like an agent trying to get some press for his client.
That has hallmarks ofā¦
agentās futile attempt touting no-hoper client who doesnāt remotely tick any of Les Reedās criteria
bookie using press to get public to back no-hoper and manipulate the market (conflict of interests with Murdochās Sun and Murdochās Skybet)
clickbait
Some or all of the above
Just from his wiki page, it would be an extremely odd choice. A huge series of very short tenures generally cut short by poor performance. I just donāt see it. Like Illinisaint says, agent talk.

TBF I also think Jack chats shit.
But perhaps there is the difference between The Other Place and here (at the moment).
I donāt _ know _ whether Jack is ITK, a total fantasist, someone who has plans to destabilise Sotonians or somewhere in between.
But I trust everyone on here to come to their own view.
Jack isnāt getting ripped to pieces here - but Iām sure it doesnāt mean everyone believes him.
As youāve shown, youāve got doubts but youāre not spending your time arguing, name calling or generally berating him.
We have the downvote system that allows the membership to express negative feelings towards a post, posts or a poster.
I havenāt seen anyone here applying that to Ralph, sorry that should be Jack, and his āfriendā.
It was, the Percy (Rickie) Lambert. Think itās pretty good now from what Iāve heard. Of course, if you work in town we can stop anywhere along the Surbiton line pretty easily.
I reckon this is bollocks.
if it is true, then Les has taken leave of his senses.

What happened in 1987? Was it anything to do with Colin āSkatebasherā Clarke?
The Sun! I will not even open it, gotta be bollox though!
Chertsey Saint - Oh yeah, the Lambert , thatās the fella. Currently have the joy of a bit of gardening leave but will be working in town come the start of the season. As you say, somewhere on the Surbiton line probably better (or in town?)
I will also be there. What time?
If this is trueā¦ 
Permission requested to piss in my PJs requested from the board.

Early September, about 7pm. Pick a gameā¦ Mineās a pint of Shere Drop - Cheers!
Did you live in Surbiton when Mick and Keith had the shop?
