  1. The man who has so many taps to his name they call him Ronald "The Plumber" Koeman would be in a world of pain if they started clamping down on it.
  2. We don't "have to sell" for running costs. Which bit of Victor Wanyama saying he wants to leave have you not understood?
  3. We're not going to become an elite club.
  4. It reads like he just doesn't want to sign a contract extension. I never thought he would so that's fine. Sold next summer, I think. So no change to what kits expected to happen anyway.
  5. Is that the made up radio station he is a regular guest on?
  6. Except it looks like he doesn't.
  7. #wecarryonexplainingwhathappenedwithTobytoidiots
  8. Once Les says stuff like that, it means players must agitate for a move. He will have to put in a transfer request, which will cost him money. If he starts being a di ck then we might end up selling him. But Iets see if anyone gets close to a valuation because I'm not convinced.
  9. We'd expect £20m for him, and if it is Spurs who are interested they won't pay it. If he's going to go for £15m then that will have to be next year.
  10. All that tapping up that Koeman did looks like it is finally going to pay off then.
  11. Well the names I mentioned was the cabinet - the people who actually were the government. So was that government "Tory-lite" or not? Yes or no? And you're now saying you support David Miliband, pretty much the poster boy of next generation New Labour, a Blair protégé and centrist social democrat who also supported the war in Iraq. So you like him, so I'll assume your Tory-lite smear doesn't apply to him. So my question is, can you please name the members of the government between 1997-2005 in influential positions to the right of David Miliband that cause you to dismiss the entire administration as "Tory-lite".
  12. He's absolutely petrified of winning. A lovely little student debate he thought he was having has completely spiralled out of control.
  13. Err, okay. So yesterday you dismissed the 1997 Labour administration as "Tory-lite you might as well vote for the Tories" despite containing world famous Tories like Margaret Beckett, David Blunkett, Robin Cook, John Prescott, Frank Dobson, Claire Short, Frank Field and so on. One big old Thatcher fan club. But today you're saying Ed was the wrong choice compared to David Miliband because Ed was the choice of the unions. Bizarre.
  14. If the club thought Gallagher and Reed were good enough to be front line players then we wouldn't sign others to "push them down the pecking order". That is the entire point of the academy. It's pretty obvious that Gallagher is not good enough and probably won't ever be. Reed I thought was going to come through this season but I expect the club aren't quite seeing it yet. We're not in League One any more, and players like Shaw will continue to be the exception - he is the only one of our youngsters who has come through in the Premier League for us since Wayne Bridge. It's rare.
  15. Do tell us. The "world and his mother" thought he was the wrong choice because....?
  16. They aren't asking HNW individuals to dip into their pockets. They've got enough turnover to gamble on promotion. The "small difference" is what? I'd say one club was clearly bankrolled out of a division and the other is Pompey.
  17. Please save us Saint George like you did last season. Please save us. Saint George please save us. Please save us. Please. Save us.
  18. The point is that the Labour party of Ramsay MacDonald, Wilson, Kinnock, Brown, Blair, Milliband IS the Labour party. The idea that the "real" Labour party is the one exclusively represented by Corbyn and a cluster of hard left MPs is misguided. Corbyn has spent 30 years rebelling and fighting against the Labour party. He doesn't represent Labour any more than any of the other candidates. At least Michael Foot had the bo llocks to serve on the front benches, run government department and try and change lives. For 30 years Corbyn could have applied Labour thinking to opposition and government and he didn't.
  19. Corbyn's election will be a great story. It's mainly that you can't expect the entire party membership to vote for its chief executive in this way. Of course this is notwithstanding the idiot MPs who let him on the ballot paper, which is the fundamental flaw and led to this mess. The Conservative process worked fine - get to two candidates that the parliamentary party are ostensibly happy to lead them - Davis or Cameron - and then let the membership vote. Either candidate was different but had enough to be a credible leader. A sensibly de-risked process. Being a leader of an organisation is not like winning a talent or popularity contest. The new Labour party leader actually has to chair meetings, lead a cabinet, agree strategy, sit down and talk to foreign leaders, find compromise, speak to business and civic leaders, review different perspectives, make decisions and drive them through, driving discipline in his team and party to stick to his vision etc etc. All at the same time articulate a vision for the future that will keep MPs in constituencies and maybe gain new ones. Nothing in his past suggests Corbyn is remotely capable of that. He's a stupid choice for leader, and the vote he is going to win is more of a vote on a "who reminds you the most of Tony Benn" competition. I think I may have made my point. He's going to win, so let's buckle down for the car crash ahead.
  20. I don't think Pompey are doing that - they have gate receipts dwarfing the rest of the division and I'm not sure the HNWs have that much of a pot to pi ss in anyway. They might be gambling a bit but I don't see them being bankrolled. PS. You do realise your last sentence could easily describe the strategy of Southampton Football Club to get out of League One, right?
  21. The Conservative party is just as likely to ignore the will of the people if they think they know better, don't really understand how you can level that as a particular Labour failing when it applies to the whole political class. (and I can't remember what persuasion you are. I'm not that much of a forum nutcase. Colin I recall one thing about you and it is the greatest protest against a football kit of all time.)
  22. No idea what you're talking about. In 1997, 2001 and 2005 Labour won thumping majorities, far ahead of the last two Tory majorities twenty years either side. On a centre left social democratic platform. And the things you are getting so upset about the Tories taking away now and in the next five years were in lots of cases introduced by....now let me think...they were introduced by, hang on, who was it now, it was like in the late nineties and stuff, they were introduced by....oh now who was it....
  23. It's a political opinion piece. Of course it has bias. You do realise when you read a positive piece on Corbyn that contains bias as well? You understand that, right?
