What he's basically saying is don't listen to the green, doom-mongerers because development doesn't have to hurt the environment as long as we invest in green technologies (i.e. do what the green, doom-mongerers are saying).

To be fair we stayed up for years buying players from the league below. The season we went down we probably had more players brought from the Prem than ever before.

We will flog him and everyone will get into a right old flap. Then Targett will seamlessly take his place next season and we will be £30mill better off, a new young star in the side and an academy with an even better reputation.

I think you're losing your marbles grandad. I had a season ticket for over 10 years before this season and there wasn't one cup game at St Marys I couldn't get a ticket for. Away games is obviously a different story because it depends on the size of the allocation.

They should give all the money to the kid the heart-string tugging c*nts.

Weird that because sceptics always used to show the correlation between solar irradiance (or amount of sunspots) and temperature to try and prove that man made climate change was all nonsense (as if the greenhouse effect wouldn't be linked to the solar output anyway). That was until recently when solar irradiance has remained low and temperature high. Would be interesting to see the graphs of high-energy solar output against temperatures.

That is an interesting thought, the greed of our capitalist way of life does fly in the face of Christian values. I'm not religious in the slightest but do find the churches views on today's obscene lifestyles refreshing.

Nothing wrong with having babies.

Bottom line is Moyes took over a team that won the Premier League easily, spent a fortune, and left them one place above Southampton. Moyes did OK at Everton, but that's all. His Everton sides never played great football and never won a trophy. Man Utd was never an appropriate job for him.

Just Cameron pandering to the UKIP voters again.

Moyes is way out of his depth at Man Utd. Everton are a pretty big club, his record there was OK but he won naff all. 6th or 7th in the Prem is about where they should be really. Martinez is showing Moyes up big time.

You're guaranteed a cup ticket if it's at St Marys if you have a ST. What part of what I said wasn't accurate?

I definitely remember getting an FA Cup final and semi final ticket on the back of my ST. I'm not sure what cup games you miss out on?

You clearly have some sort of mental block when it comes to this. There are plenty of Saints fans with a purchase history that will want Man Utd tickets - the club are rewarding their loyalty. Your mate obviously has little loyalty so is no rewarded with the chance to get a ticket. It's not rocket science. As a ST holder you already get a discount, first dibs on cup games and away tickets, plus don't have to bother trying to phone up and get tickets every 2 weeks - that's more than enough incentive.

Leibherr could still bankroll us if she wanted, there are a million ways around those rules - if not Man City and Chelsea are ****ed.

The club are not out of sync, they, like the majority of Saints supporters, don't got a toss wether your plastic/manc mate goes to the game or not. They would rather a saints fan with a purchase history went. The policy makes sense because it rewards the loyalty of the fans that turn up to the less glamorous games and it encourages plastics like your mate to get off their ass and buy a ticket for lesser games instead of just phoning a mate with a ST when Man Utd come to town.

You could do that for your plastic mate as well if you wanted. I don't see the issue.

It's one ticket per qualifying customer number, no one can buy tickets for multiple guests.

I'd take it, can't see us getting a better offer.

Excellent! It's funny because it's true.

But fans who have been to 4 or more home games are supporting the club more than whoever you are buying the ticket for. Like you say - loyalty needs rewarding - your mate should think about that if he wants to watch Man Utd.

If someone chooses to live miles away that is their problem, I still think someone who has been to 4+ games deserves a ticket more than someone who has been to none, regardless of who they know. That said, it would be a nice idea to give supporters groups from abroad priority as well, purely because of their situation - it should be nothing to do with who they know.

The club have got it right, better off having casual Saints fans have the tickets over w*nker plastic Mancs who just happen to know a ST holder.

Yeah, like the link on there showing how humans are not effecting the climate its due to solar activity - their graph conveniently doesn't go further than 1998 so it doesn't show the fact that the last decade was the warmest ever recorded whilst solar activity at very low levels.

That article is spot on IMO.
