I take this is an old thread, Lambert was shocking today.

Have to agree, it's not right that people stand by and do nothing while education and vital public services get arse raped while the banks hand out billions in bonuses to each other. The bankers are predicted to are handing themselves £7billion this year, just a percentage of the cash the banks have sucked out of the economy this year.

Just because Cortese says someone was milking the club doesn't make it fact. If someone is being paid for 'ambassadorial services' they obviously are doing a job and adding value, just because Cortese disagrees with the previous chairman about the value doesn't mean he's right because it's obviously quite hard to quantify. If money was being wasted the blame lies solely with the employer.

The police's aggressive kettling is a big problem IMO. I think they like to do because it keeps everyone one place and simplifies their job but I reckon violence increases as a result. The problem is some people who have no intention of causing trouble end up getting provoked. After the Millwall match last season we ended up being penned in by the cops purely because we happened to be stood next to some "potential trouble makers". It's not fun and one by one the odd lad who'd had a few too many would lose it, and you can't blame them because you are having your rights ****ed on just because of the type of sport you chose to watch. Plus alot of the cops in the Met are just dicks who enjoy a ruck.

Delldays, I'm pretty sure that submarine that you ponce about all day in at tax-payers expense would have been designed by someone who was once part of "the great unwashed", same goes for the radar that stops you ass getting sunk by the Russians, and the missiles you might maybe actually get to use one day. You don't have to go to university to be rich or successful, you've obviously proved that because you earn a living pushing a few buttons on a machine that some clever person has managed to create - society benefits from the furthering of knowledge, that's why people should be encouraged to study and learn. You never know, one of those stone throwers at yesterday's demo might end up developing a wepeons system that stops you becoming fish food some time in the future.

Licence/tax no difference.

Whilst I don't agree with the policy that has just been passed I think the student protests are way way over the top. I think alot of people think it's unjust that the goverment appears to tread on eggshells around the banks but don't think twice about a 200% odd increase in taxing education.

I don't see anything wrong with the Echo getting stories off the BBC as their taxes, like ours, pay for it.

A snooker ball to the nose would be appropriate, he was an ass hole.

Why would I want him to die you nob?

Hopefully the rozzer in hospital is the same one who pushed me whilst saying "I ****ing hate football fans" at Millwall away last year.

To be fair, the Met can be a bunch of c*nts as well.

The problem with these fees is no matter how they plan to get students to pay it back, the idea of getting in over 50K of debt is way way more off-putting to someone from a deprived background. I'm not from a deprived background but my parents were not hugely well off and when I went to uni I was terrified of getting into debt and worked/saved instead of getting loans. Under this current system there is no way I would go to university. The argument that "you will get a high paid job at the end of it so should pay" is right in some cases but most of the really highly paid people I know didn't go to uni - why get 50K in debt to study something worthwhile when you can earn more selling mortgages and have no debt? Surely it's important for the country that the brightest people better themselves and are not put off, I would just raise the tax level for the very rich to pay for it because if you work along the rationalle that graduates get the highly paid jobs then they would be paying for it anyway.

Bit of an understatement, we are a right bunch of miserable ****s. Another trait is being woefully unambitious, on the whole Southampton people are like a bunch of small minded, unhappy hobbits. When Cortese talks of getting into Europe and extending St Mary's the average Saints fan thinks he's off his nut. We forget what a two-bob outfit Chelsea were before their money turned up.

That's daft, he was the only one with any sort of inside info. is this England or ****ing China?

It doesn't look like it's for sale. Leftback clearly had a grudge with Cortese, doesn't mean he wants to damage the club though. Where is Leftback now anyway?

It's all about money, players will play for anyone if you pay them enough.

What a load of ******, why would a group of people try and damage the club? I expect it's more a case of people disagreeing with Cortese and voicing their opinion.

Cracking interview - liking the comparisons to Barca.

Agree, these latest leaks are just pointless and reckless and serve no purpose except to aid terrorism. This Wikileaks bloke needs to watch his ass.

Like I said, the only important thing is what the Leibherrs say. Cortese is an employee of the club.

The Club's spokesman was just saying what he had to say, it was in no one's interest to say anything else. The only important thing is what the Leibherrs say.

As it's only a line in the gossip column it could just be bull****, but I wouldn't be surprised if they try to offload he club if we don't get promotion. Fact is no one on here had a scooby that they were trying to buy the club so it will be the same if they are selling. If it happens I expect the first we will hear about it is when it is done and dusted. I think it's naive to think the situation wouldn't change after Markus died.

But that's my point, it is. If someone is pointing an old WW2 pistol at your head you don't want to find out if it works or not.

I see Qatar has also been named in the latest Wikileak about sponsoring terrorism... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-11923176 maybe the Yanks have done a search for "Qatar" in the Wikileaks files after they got beat in last weeks bid?
