Lefty Guy Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Well, although not one of the names you mention, I am still here & a Brit to boot. Been a bit busy recently with my other "interest" football (or soccer as you guys call it) as my team, Southampton, has been fighting to get promoted to the top league over here. I'm delighted to report that this weekend they succeeded & will be playing the likes of Man Utd & Arsenal next season! Now I can relax & get back concentrating on my guitar playing as I really need to practice some Bluegrass stuff ahead of my trip to Tennessee in June for Kaufman Kamp. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2136527/Southampton-4-Coventry-0-Saints-promoted.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefty Guy Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Saints in the premier league..Wow! Yup, the last 2 seasons have been amazing with back to back promotions. I'm just hoping we don't embarrass ourselves next season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarlKicken Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Saints in the premier league..Wow! A nice six easy six points to be had there. When the likes of United, Arsenal and Spurs have lapped up the talent from your squad it'll be like stealing a Bale from a small club...oh. Spurs even stole your song :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarlKicken Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I'm from England, which is near London. How about them Blues? Where is best to go to in the States? I ain't never done a plane over there before...'sitlike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruffchris Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Which "Blues" is that? Chelsea or City? They both done great. Hope southhampton do as well as the guys that came up last time, from all of the 3, i would have said QPR were the most likely to have stayed up.................shows what I know, lol. @willy, I think there's a few brits on here bud, maybe not the names you called, but there's folks around.

Spurs even stole your song :D Now there's a "red rag" if ever I saw one! I think you'll find that the days of the big boys "lapping up" our young talent are over. In case you hadn't noticed we were bought 3 years ago by a Swiss-based German billionaire & have not sold one player we didn't want to since then. The Liebherr family Investment in our club so far is well over £30m with more to come in the 5 year plan. As for "six easy points" I would point to Swansea & Norwich this season - not the pushovers you guys expected? Finally, Spurs may use our song but somehow it doesn't really work without the original word "Saints" does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroAussie Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Actually we gotta get outta this place could be a goer ... but it would have to the version by one of my favourite Aussie bands, The Angels ...

AC/DC's little cousins who never made it off the island .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mx212Pk__g Not bad, but how you think this version is better than The Animals is beyond me. Eric Burdon was about as down and dirty as you get, and those Newcastle roots gave them a grittiness that is hard to beat. Every time I listen to The Animals, I feel like I'm in some small underground club somewhere that stinks of stale beer, old cigarettes, and too many people crammed too close together for comfort. I'm always lookin' for the exit, just in case......we gotta get out of this place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
