Is that just for one post and one gate?? That is a lot! One of my fences in my new house blew down and I did the lot again with concrete posts - 12x 6'x6' panels, 13x 8' concrete posts, with concrete boards at the bottom cost me £1500 - done in two days, brilliant job and good value too compared to some of the other quotes I got round me (in Fleet).

Totally agree! But that's the trouble with the internet - a selection of odd people who just want to wind others up and those, who would still be moaning if we won every week and were top of the league.

Yes, you complete f**king helmet. What is it with you and prats like Glasgow Saint constantly typing such drivel. Get out of your bedsits.

There are so many faults with many of those maps, however they are entertaining all the same.

Who the hell is Vince McMahon? Can't stand anything to do with that fake wrestling crap, zzzzz

I've seen some rubbish that 7th may be enough for Europa League qualification depending on other results (i.e. Man City winning the League Cup, Arsenal the FA cup etc etc etc). Reading this; http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/fans/faqs/who-qualifies-to-play-in-europe/ - it appears that 6th would realistically be the lowest place on offer, unless the FA Cup Final is Arsenal vs Man City and they both finish in the top 4. Assuming Man City win the League Cup ... "Should the FA Cup winners, runners-up (if applicable) and the Football League Cup winners already have qualified for Europe, their place goes to the next best placed clubs in the Premier League."

Unfortunately yes. I have a senior enough position that requires me to "show my face" - also I need to keep an eye on my own team and micro-manage them to death (joking of course). However I have introduced some remote collaboration tools and am trying to drag some of them kicking and screaming in to this century. It's my choice to live in the lovely Hampshire countryside and commute in, but doesn't stop me moaning about it as you'll see on Twitter

Fleet to Waterloo, normally around 0740. 1st class. I gave in, can't stand the tiny seats and over-crowding. I get on, take a more spacious seat and read or work in more peace and with space. Additionally I can turn back up to Waterloo and dive on a train knowing I can sit down - it's well worth the additional premium. If the majority of commuters weren't so self-centered and weird, it would be a pleasure to travel. I don't know what happens to people but they get all odd when commuting, like it's only them that exist. I have told my fair share of people what I think of them and I can well imagine a pregnant woman getting a delayed and busy train and everyone being too self-centered to give up a seat. I also bet she didn't ask though and just expected to sit in 1st class. In fairness to the guards here, if they applied that rule for free 1st class to one person, then they'd have to do it for all. I actually see a large portion of pregnant women in 1st class who have upgraded - good idea, especially as the normal seats are small and they'd only get some other rude moron tutting at them for taking up too much room, after all, how dare they be pregnant and invade their seat space that is far too small in the first place. God, commuting. ARGH!

Did you put the kitchen knife down at the time?

- On the toilet at about 4am in Corvinteto in Budapest (best club in Budapest, I love that place, but no idea why I was on my phone, looking at you lot and your drivel then) - Watching a the sunset in a bar on stilts over the sea in the Maldives this summer (of all the things I could be doing, I logged in here to check the Sunderland home match in August - and it was my birthday) So neither unusual, just odd.

Likewise. I felt the questions were too directional without giving me a chance to offer more feedback. If people don't object, you'd be better off pasting the questions in this thread and letting everyone answer within the thread and maybe offer a couple of new questions aimed at getting more qualitative feedback. I was struggling to see what analysis you could garner over and above the quantitative "90% of fans felt matches were too expensive now compared to the 1970s" - you need some control measures as well, such as not only finding out their ages, but when they first experienced certain situations - I don't think I saw that? But I genuinely think it'd help you more if you asked and got people to respond directly in this thread.

I hope you are taking the **** and seeking a bite? If not, that is seriously retarded thinking. A day out (and hopefully a win at Wembley) vs finishing 1 or 2 places higher ... jesus christ.

The one that was sent off this weekend for a bit of a tussle? Hmmm. Unless he blows the the league away (after his suspension), we are well rid in the summer.

If (for example) we caved in and sold Shaw for £30m. Stoke would also cave in for £xxm for Shawcross, especially if we're targeting a higher league position next year. Market forces, any player is up for sale, any. Okay Chelsea after this weekend might take £300m for Hazard, but you know what I'm saying.

Cherno Samba? Just what we needed today I think, the original FM "wonder kid".

That is the most bizarre product review I've seen. What about if you need a poo, does it unzip at the back too?

Nah, "queen" would have been funnier. You fail at t'interweb warz. Great news though Duncan, I know it's a big win for you and all these small things (parking, book in the shop, Benali, players on loan etc.), bit by bit, indicate that the owner and new directorship really do have the best interest of the fans and club at heart - in my humble opinion anyway.

No. Just no. Love the guy, great manager in his achievements for us in getting promoted, but it would be a massive step backwards in tactics.

Adkins would have done it with Danny Ings, Steve Guppy, Lukas Jutkiewicz, Sam Vokes, Wade Elliot, Andrew Surman, Wayne Bridge, Sam Sodje and Craig Mackail-Smith. In fact, we'd be in Europe with that lot, playing 4-4-2 with wingers, if this forum were to be believed.

But it's nothing like Liverpool's. Their's is blood red and ALL red (red shirts, red shorts, red socks).

I agree, as sad as it sounds, when I see Stoke and Sunderland in their stripes with black shorts - it just looks a bit duff. Old fashioned, "messy" and naff. I actually like the all red with a splash of white - not that I ever wear the shirts, but just better to watch. I've never been a stripes fan anyway. New phrase for the marketing team; "Be smart, be Saints smart". (That's why I don't work in marketing)

Mental decision to "part company" with Laudrup ... but whatever floats their boat. However, how the hell is Gary Monk old enough to manage a club? That's the most offensive thing, that's made me feel ancient - more so than Beattie managing. B*gger.

Chav

I'm obviously alone in that I think Fulham may pull out of it. They've made a couple of astute signings and moved on some of the trouble (Berbatov). They have a manager who wants to learn and is technical and I just think they may scrape through. Cardiff look rubbish. I would have said they'd have stayed up under Malkay, but not OGS - weird team. Norwich also look rubbish and just don't seem to perform as a team 3rd sport for me ... West Ham, Fulham, Stoke, Palace, West Brom (one from that lot, in that order) We shall see!

Agree totally. This season (last 6 weeks especially) he has had some really bad matches, but he also looked like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders. Saturday, he looked a different player second half - as has been said, like a whole weight has been lifted!!
