The thought of players like Terry, Lumpard and Rooney representing our country at the Euros again is just depressing. I think I will actually enjoy watching them get d!cked this time around, at least then there is a good chance of the next manager giving them the bullet.

The aim of the academy is to make good players to make a good team. It bugs me that some fans still think like Rupert Lowe. Cortese himself said he was gutted when we sold Chambo, so was I. It annoyed me reading the mongs on here celebrating getting the money.

Hope the fat chav c*nt gets a 3 game ban.

He will be better than Walcott.

Of course they have to draw a line, that's my point. Making money from a shopping plaza is no different to making money from drilling for oil. You either take into account just football income or you dont.

Exactly, Man City will say the same when their oil drilling department finances some big signings. Basically every single club can pay whatever they want rendering the whole idea pointless.

Surely the fair play rules must just include football income, otherwise all Man City have to do is put one of their oil companies under their name and carry on as usual.

He's a c*nt but I think he would make a good England boss.

I think it would. The British public are generally quite stupid, the AV was clearly a fairer option, a couple of flash ads with race horses in - bingo, game over. Apart from the Clegg factor the reason AV lost was because of the self serving @rseholes of the Tory and Labour party desperately in fear of their safe seats, the public just went along with what their favourite @rsehole said.

I'm usually up for getting out of the EU but I think if we opted out now it would send the whole thing into a tailspin which wouldn't be good for us.

Pompey have had 15 more yellow cards than goals scored.

Or as in the AV vote, if Clegg says yes, the British public says no.

The dross we watched under Gray and Wigley was part of the Sky years but that's irrelevant, I wasn't talking about a particular managers style more the matchday experience.

Still not as good as the previous lot. That fat guy in the Northam used to be lightning quick.

Handjobs, tenner a go

It probably wasn't but you get my point. Football today is cr@p, expensive and boring in comparison to the pre-Sky years.

Hopefully all the pubs that have been fined over the last decade or so can now sue Sky for compo and lost earnings etc. Personally I think Sky have ruined football, I couldn't give a toss about shiny new stadia or 100K a week foreign t@ssers. I preferred it when as a kid I could get into the Dell for £2 and watch Matt le Tiss take the p!ss out of the European Champions and be 2 yards away from the action. You could stand where you liked, smoke a fag and have a laff. By comparison, football today is just expensive, sterile and dull - all for the benefit of w@nker glory supporters who want to watch Man Utd on the box.

I would say with the right investment 40K would be about right, it depends on the investment/timescales tho. I think people look too much at history, the demographics of football has changed considerably and Saints have never had investment.

I'm already dreading September 2058.

Just illustrating the potential. SFC has NEVER had the opportunity to fulfill it's full potential, it's either been limited by the Dell or by having owners who invested nothing - the potential is a bit of an unknown quantity. I remember when Chelsea were a scutty little level 2 club. The problem with most Saints fans is that they are stuck with Dell-sized brains. Thank god someone like Cortese is running the show - he wont be looking backwards.

I think the Chelsea home game in 2003 sold out in 6 and a half hours - and that was with players like Bret Ormerod up front. Saints don't have the biggest hardcore support but there are shed loads of people in the area who want to and can afford to watch the big Prem teams.

I dunno how you figure that out, it's up to the TV companies what logos they show and music they play.

SMS is built, I have my seat so don't give a sh!te. Anyway, I preferred watching football at the Dell.

Would be great if the Sky bubble bursts but I doubt it will. It will be interesting to see how going pan European will change things. I doubt many boozers in Greece will be wiling to stump up what the UK pubs have to, I expect all that will happen is that coverage outside the UK will practically vanish.

I agree in principle it's wrong but as long as they are acting on evidence/intelligence and are doing it because he is genuinely perceived a threat I don't have a problem with it. If Clinton had the balls to do the same to Bin Laden he would have saved a lot of lives.
