There is still plenty of time to sign players so it is not worth worrying about anything yet, we will know by the end of the transfer window how serious the club are. If I hear a rumour about the club being sold am I allowed to post it or will that make me an attention seeking twot?

I don't see the harm in letting someone reserve a seat next to their friends, inflexible ticket policies like this are counter-productive. The problem is you end up speaking to one jobsworth after another.

Disagree. Mid-table at best.

I suppose it's what is deemed 'necessary" that is the issue. Your first example of the burglar leaving the house - he could quite easily be just loading stuff into a car and come back and shoot/stab you. I would say it's reasonable to be fearful of that scenario. Obviously if you chase them down the road it's wrong but if they are on your property they are threatening you IMO. Also if you carry on stabbing someone who's on the floor - unless they are unconscious they are still capable of shooting/stabbing you - you could argue that whilst there is that chance you are also acting in self defense.

Yeah, good guess.

Yeah, that's why I went to college and Uni and now work in the profession I chose when I was 16.

At my school it was more like the other way round.

Get back to your homework, you don't want to get into trouble do you.

Wouldn't take long.

The sort of attitude I would expect from the public sector, that's why not alot of people are "welling up" whilst the tories cut your pensions.

Too early to say, even if we do spend a decent amount mid-table wouldn't be failure. There are plenty of other teams with cash in this league.

Blaming the government is a cop out. If the teachers wanted it changed they could get it done, they are quick to get together and do something when it's their pensions being changed. We were a man down at work last month because of a teacher training day, it's not just the kids it effects but businesses that have to make money and can't just take days off for training.

Do it as homework then, you c*nts love homework.

Just do it when the kids are off, it's not rocket science.

No such thing as "working hours" in what I do. I have to get projects completed or my company doesn't get paid and I'm out of a job. My clients don't have to wait for anything because I'm training. Teachers' clients are their pupils, the service they receive shouldn't be effected by the teachers lack of training.

I thought they worked during non-school days (marking etc), if they don't and get 10weeks+ holiday a year then yes, they should give up holiday to learn how to do their job. My training at work doesn't effect my clients, I work around them.

Still no reason why training days couldn't take place during non-term days, there are plenty.

Isn't it 6 weeks at summer, two at Xmas, one at Easter plus 2 lots of half terms, plus the usual bank holidays?

It is amazing that they cannot fit a training day into their massive holidays. Or maybe even, god forbid, at the weekend. Just ingrained laziness IMO.

Surely if someone is in your house you are under attack? The way I see it if someone breaks into your house you cannot just assume they are unarmed just because you cannot see their weapon, your best way to be totally sure of your safety is to knock them unconscious or kill them. The important thing is you are stopping them being a threat, their death is irrelevant.

I think that is where you are wrong, the demographics of football have changed, it's now all about middle class families with money to blow (plenty of them round here) not working class males looking for a fight. And over the last few decades much of that open countryside has had things called houses built on round here, again filled with middle class families with plenty of disposable income. looking at stats history is not that relevant IMO.

I wonder how many people delighted at "winning" tickets will be sat there next year bored out of their skull after paying a fortune to watch something they wouldn't usually cross the road to watch? I mean athletics FFS, what is the usual sort of attendance for this boring sh!te?

We bought our way out of League 1, for a club the size of Saints with billionaire backers that is a piece of p!ss regardless of how well the chairman got on with agents. We are now competing for players with clubs who have similar budgets, it is possible that having a bad relationship with agents might mean we miss out on players. I'm not saying it is the case, just that ass kissing Cortese because he has annoyed some agents is a bit daft.

Writing a long list of names is as meaningless as the original Twitter comment. Unless you have a list of which players (if any) have walked away from negotiations because their agent has the hump.

Unless one of the people we are actually interested in has an agent who won't deal with us?
