I honestly couldn't care less who monitors what I do - they can listen to every breathing word I say (or type) for all I care! And if you're silly enough to slag off your employer on any forum (no matter what that forum is) then tough.

To be honest, who cares and why? If my boring life is interesting to someone sat in a bunker in deepest USA then; "Hi, hope your doughnuts and coffee are going down well. Have a nice day" Seriously ... I don't get why people really care? The majority of us are fairly boring, law-abiding people, so what's the concern.

No, you utter, utter helmet. Signings are interesting, yes, but we'll hear of them when they sign. Kit, not interesting, unless you're 11. Get on with some work and wait for the start of the season.

Shame, I was hoping you'd know that too, just to complete the picture

FAO The9; Please can I have information on whether there is a barcode, if so, what the barcode number is and also, what are the hex values of the colours used? Thank you.

To be fair though, doesn't that mirror all [modern] football fans and to a certain extent, the players and management now as well??

I'd forgotten about him ... didn't this forum tell us he's amazing?

I know ... but hey, it's "interest free" ...

Interest free plan is great. I can't make mid-week matches usually but can do weekend fixtures - so it actually makes a bit of sense to get a season ticket, interest free as the cost wouldn't really be any more. Hmmmmm.

Here is a scenario: Drunk 1: rarrr, lairy, rarrr, nice tits Drunk 2: rarrr, lairy, rarrr, your old man only plays for fakkin' Saints, should find a real man luv Girlfriend of footballer: P*ss off you drunk morons, he's signing for Arsenal for £15m and is worth much more than you Yes. I can see how rumours like that start.

Anyone got any links to newspapers from last summer? I'm always amused to see how badly they guessed - QPR being a good one as I seem to remember certain journos predicting they'd be top 6??

I thought it was Sondico? Black kit, with gold stripes, silver arms, white number panels, red shorts and yellow socks.

Oh Nic Corteseeee You're the live of my live, oh Nic Cortese I'd let you **** my wife, oh Nic Cortese

It really doesn't need to be sung, unless you're a simpleton.

Well it gave the utter helmets something to be concerned about for 5 seconds other than relegation!

Guy Whittingham, with Appy as his assistant.

There have been for years.

Human centipede? Shot gun I'm at the front.

Let's face it, he probably is a very good CxO level person, except without an unblemished track record of handling HR; there have been various people who have come and gone in the last couple of years. However it is odd that the owners/investors don't have someone else on the inside to make sure that a) their investment/money is being handled correctly and b) to report back to them on the general well being of the company. I suspect they would like someone else in one of the boardroom/CxO level jobs to act as their sanity check to everything Cortese/the CEO wants to do. Why are we doing that? Is there a cheaper way of doing that? Can we do this more quickly by spending less on this? etc etc etc.

Has no one spotted the link?? Sir Alex resigns as Man Utd manager. Sir Alex wants a Director position. Pochettino goes out of his way to butter up Sir Alex and talk about wine. Cortese considers his tenure as CEO. Therefore, Sir Alex will become our CEO. Sorted.

Don't be a helmet. We've been promoted twice in two seasons and still have some division 3 & division 2 footballers at the club. The players have learnt and are adapting, we've had a mid-season change of manager and staff ... I'd say we're doing okay. Any Saints fan who didn't expect a relegation fight this season would have been totally deluded.

Bullsh*t. Sorry, but I totally disagree with you - I know of so many people who are wanting to adopt by are stuck in the "process". I also know many people who would adopt older children rather than babies as they want to help them and bring them up as rounded as they can. These people should not be allowed to bring those poor kids up, full stop.

There is no rule of thumb what-so-ever. It all depends on your deeds. In my last house, I had responsibility for 2 sides and the bottom fence ... they ALL blew down ... almost 30 fence panels ... Moved house. New house I have the same again, except luckily one side is a very long brick wall, which is very nice.

Brilliant, now I'm reading at properly and slowly as "Value Added Tax" ... that's made me chuckle. It should be stripped back to what it really was supposed to be - a tax on luxury items. If I went and spunked £1000 on a new TV, which to be honest, who needs to do as you could get a smaller/cheaper one, pick one up for free etc., it's just keeping up with everyone else on an item we don't actually NEED. But anyway, if I were to do that, then yes, it's a luxury item and should (in my opinion) be subject to extra tax. It's like stamp duty and inheritance tax - they weren't intended to get everyone, they were taxes on the properly wealthy landowners - just that they never evolved as the cost of living and house prices increased. Which to my mind is extremely unfair. Let's face it, what does £250k get you in most of the South in terms of housing? Naff all really. Certainly not a house big enough to bring a family up and have space to work from home, but yes, even in the mid-80s, that would have got you a sizeable pad with big garden. So to pay 3% stamp for an average family house and then have your kids pay inheritance tax on it when you die and give it to them is outrageous. Anyway, moan over. As you were.
