Blatter obviously doesn't like the English game. Might be the press, or just jealousy but he's made loads of comments before. One example was when Real Madrid came in with silly money for Ronaldo it was "let Ronaldo leave" and "modern slavery" when Utd turned down the bid. 6 months later City offered silly money for Kaka and it was "Is it morally acceptable to offer such sums of money for a single player?". Then there's the World cup farce etc.

Of course there are differences you plumb, to many people they are just both forms of entertainment though. I go to the Rose Bowl once in a blue moon, I'm still a Hampshire fan though.

But they are. The thing is the only people who give a sh!t about how great a fan you are are the self proclaimed superfans, no one else cares. It's like if you went to the theatre and the bloke in front of you turned round and said "where were you when it was sh!t?", you would think, "I didn't go because it was sh!t, what's your point?". That's how many people view football.

Glory suporters are scum, they should be dragged out into the street and executed in front of their families. by glory suppoerter I mean people who intentionally support someone good just to boast and rub real fan's noses in it. Fact is though, for many people going to football is no different to going to the cinema or theatre - it's just a day out. They might have zero interest in watching Saints in the championship or league one but might be interested in Saints v Man U. There's nothing wrong with that, they are still Saints fans.

There is an element of luck in penalties but there is just as much during the game itself. It's more about mental strength and technique. That's why England are so poor, we don't have great technique and have a feeble loser's mentality.

Agree, except the stuff about the programme is all in your head.

Not exactly saying it's a "tragedy" though is it? Just pathetic excuses for apologies. And where are we since then, still no technology. Chelsea won fair and square, yet it is somehow a tragedy. Blatter is just a c*nt.

I admire the people that didn't bother watching some of the sh!t I've wasted money on over the years. The really sad f*ckers are the ones who go week in week out, home and away. Get some balance in your life for f*cks sake.

Do you have to take 3 keepers, surely we would be better off taking another outfield player?

Has to be Man Utd, the only team other than pompey that I hate with a passion.

Hats off to Chelsea, I was happy when they won but I ****ing love it now. Sepp Blatter and that nazi c*nt Beckenbauer must have hated it when the English side took the trophy home. Blatter has such an anti English agenda, a German team loses on penalties and it's a tragedy, yet he didn't say a thing about goal=line technology when we scored that goal against the kraut c*nts.

Last time I watched Saints at Reading I saw 2 fans going into the Reading end in their Chelsea shirts. Reading is just a small time League 1 club that has been bankrolled by Majeski. In the 1980's some seasons their average attendance was 3,500.

It's time for multiball Mayhem. At the end of extra-time, if it's still a draw a new ball is thrown on the pitch every 2mins. 2 rules: no handball, no eye gauging.

So Pompey want to avoid paying their former Premier League players so they can use the Premier League parachute payments to gain an advantage over other League 1 sides. The simple solution is to liquidate the club and the Premier League pay the players the money they are entitled to. Use the parachute money for what it was meant for.

Exactly, if they had been on sale the club would already have my cash. If I get made redundant/car blows up/girlfriend gets knocked up/whatever tomorrow I won't get one, maybe won't go to SMS at all. As it stands I am actually glad they are delaying the sale because the mate I go with might not be able to get a ST (depends on babies n stuff), if he doesn't get one i wont.

It's a retarded idea, the economy is doing badly enough as it it. If people have zero job security they are not exactly likely to go out spending their cash, they will just stick it in the bank in case their boss sacks them because he's in a bad mood.

That works out better then, I always thought when we were in the Prem it worked out as just the one free. We find out soon.

That could be the case, it would mean we wold have to sell out virtually every game to make it worthwhile. We may do I suppose. Getting a ST usually works out as getting one game free. If I didn't get one I would probably miss way more due to various reasons (holiday, can't be arsed to watch Wigan etc) so the club would definitely get more cash from me with a season ticket. I can see the club's way of thinking but feel they may be losing out a very small amount. I suppose as were loaded now it doesn't matter anyway.

I've heard they are doing the gold, silver, bronze thing - but that was obvious anyway. I see no logical reason for not selling STs yet, surely the longer they are on sale the more they will sell. I can't see how the reverse could be true.

I thought the whole point was that it was the same torch, carried hundreds of miles? Not a whole bunch of people with their own torches running a few hundred metres each then getting rich at our expense by flogging the "piece of history' on ebay.

If it goes past my house I might lean forward on my couch a bit to look out my window.

I didn't say highest level you plumb, I said higher. Someone like Yakubu who got 18 goals for Blackburn last year, could be worth a shout. Fletcher got 12 for Wolves. Someone from a decent foreign league might be a better option. I wouldn't rule out Hooper or Rodreguez but think we could do with at least a couple of players who we know can do a job in the Prem.

As long as they are giving all the money to charity it's OK. If not they are c*nts.

I think West Ham going up just made it a whole lot harder to stay up. It's only guesswork as it's so early but you have to expect relegation to be between Us, Reading, West Ham, Wigan, QPR, Norwich, Swansea and West Brom. I can't see Villa having another season that bad, Fulham, Stoke and Sunderland all have too much about them to be down there.
