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?

Just keep them in the old sub, they will be OK. Don't matter if they work or not, we will never find out without destroying the planet anyway.

Only if you over complicate things, it would work.

Exactly, that's my argument for not renewing Trident. Just keep the old one, it might be old, rusty and not work but it would still be a deterrent because no one would want to find out.

It would just be the usual Yanks beating the crap out of a bunch of Arabs, as a War it wouldn't be a contest unless Iran has any sizable allies.

I don't see how Iran wanting Israel off the map is any different to Israel wanting Palestine of the map, except Israel actually acts on it's wishes.

You don't need a decent one, a crap nuclear weapon is still a deterrent. I don't see what all the fuss is about, there is no reason why Iran would nuke Israel because it knows it would get flattened if it did. The US needs to keep it's nose out of other people's affairs and chill the **** out.

Or deter a conflict - isn't that the point of Nuclear weapons?

Nothing wrong with that, they are as entitled to have Nuclear weapons as any other country.

The only talent on that show is the people who make the programme. It is genius how they have made a fortune by getting half the British public to give a **** about a bunch of talentless mongs. I do enjoy watching it though, not for the music, I just love watching them having their hopes crushed.

Saints fans, Arsenal fans, the media. If you get in the World cup squad aged 17 then don't make a weaker one aged 21 you havn't developed as well as thought. I still think he will go on to be a top player. All youngsters go through a dodgy patch (like Bale did) but I think Theo has suffered through the weight of expectation at Arsenal and lack of first team action.

Neither selection was well thought out, Sven should never had taken Theo to Germany. But it illustrates perfectly how he has not developed as well as he was expected to, my Arsenal supporting mates agree - he can be frustrating.

The article also said they have still not aid any charity, including that cancer one. Also the Fulham players donated their fee for the Primus friendly but the Skates just pocketed it. Filthy cheating scum.

The fact that Theo made the England team for Germany 2006 and not for a weaker side in South Africa shows how little he has progressed.

Totally unworkable, if you had a two week break in January you could very well get two weeks of severe snow the following weeks and up with a month of no football.

Im sorry, but to say it's easier playing against better players is nonsense. Oxo looks class but Theo was outstanding at a younger age and higher level than him. I think many Saints fans forget the utter garbage we play against week in week out in League 1.

I think he might have developed better playing more first team football.

Walcott has not fulfilled his potential, would have been better off with a season or two more at Siants before being stuck in Arsenal reserves. Might have even made the plane to the last World Cup if he had IMO, instead we had one of England's most talented players sat at home watching the World Cup on TV.

You can guarantee the Israeli supporters will be there in numbers if they do qualify - could be fun.

If you're a football fan going to Qatar for the World Cup for four weeks what exactly is there to do between games? From their website it appears to be just a bunch of expensive hotels and shopping centres in a desert. You can't even sit on the beach with a beer FFS. I suppose you could pop into Saudi Arabia for some duty free, or nip over to Iraq for some sight seeing. You could charter a Yacht, might be fun playing cat n mouse with the local pirates or Iranian navy. There is probably only a handful of countries on the planet less suited to host a major football tournament.

I guess the reason Milton Keynes, Bristol and Plymouth were included was because FIFA obviously like shiny new stadiums and put alot of value on the "legacy". The bid team would have wanted some flash architects plans to show. FIFA also seem to like white elephants - Russia's top league has an average attendance of about 12,500, there no demand there at all for twelve 40,000 seater stadiums. As for Qatar...
