A blogger called Broker Man Daniel has come out with it good and proper. So anyone who doesn't already know, its there. I won't link it but "downing street affair" in twitter will get you there. Great story, will be in the Guardian/Telegraph by the weekend at the latest.

That's easily in the top sixteen things I have ever seen on the internet. Just brilliant. Needless to say Pap, I'm now convinced. I hope they give Drummer Rigby's widow a gig on Holby or something when this dies down. Or maybe an honourary BAFTA. What an actress.

Face on stamp on the back of being the first major black player (ie more famous/exciting than Viv Anderson).

Hedgehog Gutter Brush breaking South America I see.

He was good when he came off the bench v Argies in 1986. Other than that pretty appalling for England.

But he would have been in some of the meetings, though? Because to organise the mass murder of hundreds of New Yorkers there would have been, what, six or seven meetings? And even as a blundering moron, you'd think he would use his position as a figurehead to express a reservation or two. But ultimately the Neo Cons won the day. High fives all round. The Pres is okay with it. Let's start laying the explosives in the WTC.

It aint rock and roll.

And, just to be clear - you're saying the president didn't and doesn't know? Junior BBC reporters deftly ignoring your emails are in on it but the President of the USA wasn't?

I apologise. There were no plan Bs. Just crack on with the planes into skyscraper thing. Sorry about that.

Convincing the newly inaugaurated president to sign on to not only mass genocide, but mass genocide at very heart of the greatest financial and business centre of the entire western world..well it is certainly Neo, and I suppose is Conservative in a way. But well done for the Neo-cons for driving it through. I'm really looking forward to the day the whistle is blown on this whole thing. Because, sure as I am now that the administration was signed on to this, I can't help feeling the President must have had one or two reservations about the plan. I mean, sure, he wanted to change foriegn policy. But the mass-murder-of-US-citizens bit must have stuck in the craw somewhat. All for the greater good as you say, but they must have knocked about a couple of plan Bs before they plumped for crippling New York City and murdering hundreds and hundreds of people. I think its a real shame the US government couldn't come up with a more innovative idea to enact foriegn policy change than slaughtering hundreds of innocent civilians. A real pity.

Hang on. You've proved it. You've spent two months in a skyscraper, making you so clued up about structural engineering and the demolition industry that you can indentify exactly how the US secret service slathered explosives all over the world trade centre to kill hundreds of civilians. Fragments of fact stitched together to make a whole. Conspiracy.You've done it. All proven. I can't believe the US government would mass murder hundreds of civilians for no obvious reason but they did. Thanks for opening my eyes. I've emailed the BBC. But I bet they ignore me - as you yourself have already said: they're in on it, man. They're in on it.

Well, this proves conclusively that the US government planned and executed a staged mass genocide of its own people. Well done Pap. Brilliantly played.

Thedelldays said it last season.

Easily the funniest paragraph on the thread so far. Keep em coming.

If thousands of people weren't involved in the 9/11 conspiracy, just a handful as you suggest, then surely that stops it being a conspiracy? You can't have a conspiracy if no one knows about it. You need people to, like, conspire.

And in this case, they did, did they? Killed a soldier, in the street, in broad daylight.

If we sign Dexter Blackstock, Leon Best, Simon Gillet and Andrew Surman this summer then I will have little doubt over our top six ambitions next season.

Worth noting, though, they were a hell of a lot closer to the Champions League when they were spunking untold millions on transfer fees and wages. Funny that.

Don't Ajax have the advantage of being, well, effing Ajax? And using Barcelona as a comparator to Saints is barely worth dignifying with a **** take.

Of course.

Of course, in all the points we did get, not one single point was due to our good fortune, getting the rub of the green, other teams gifting us goals, us cheating/diving to get penalties and so on. Every single point completely deserved.

Okay then. Not decapitated but murdered in cold blood in broad daylight with a eff-off big knife (don't tell us, the knife was superimposed by ITV News). What does your razor sharp not-actually-decapitated revelation tell us? That he isn't a murderer after all and is in fact a political prisoner of the evil UK government? The whole thing is made up? None of it happened? Do tell.

The point is it isn't a choice between top six and we're doomed. I fully expect us to do lots of the things you say above which will see us carve out a little spot between 12th and 7th for the next few years. That would be simply brilliant for me, and a tremendous success for the club, too. Its a shame that so many sneer and belittle that level of achievement as if it is all somehow beneath the European Megagiant that is Southampton FC.

That'll be your couple of hundred million spent, then.

Walcott made his debut, what, six seasons before Shaw? It's the idea that all these top six standard players are going to hang around at Saints for season after season on the off chance they'll be joined by half a teams worth of kids at a similar standard. That's the point. We'll be lucky to keep Shaw longer than one more season.
