I think they should put a an extra tax on the private schools to help bring the rest of the education up to scratch. At the moment the gap is way to big. It would also help the country as the best people would get the best jobs, not just a bunch of posh f@ckwits on daddy's gravy train.

Firstly, they are not going to come out an say we're ****ed, even if we are. Secondly, in football things rarely go to plan.

About right, I would say: Man U Asenal Liverpool Man City Newcastle Leeds Tottenham Chelsea Villa Everton Sunderland Derby Nottingham Forest Norwich Leicester or Sheff Weds then us

Obviously the important thing is to pay your respects and my thoughts go out to Marcus' family and friends. But this could have very serious consequences on SFC, there's nothing wrong with discussing it.

RIP Marcus, we will always be grateful for saving the club.

This is a classic SaintsWebForum quote. Some bloke slagging off the manager from the other side of Europe about a "****ing mess" he is not even watching that turns out to be a victory.

What a load of nonsense, Pompey won the FA Cup training on a field in Eastleigh.

****ing genius idea, annoy the Sun when the single largest contributer of money to football in England is Sky TV. I wonder how many pics SFC will have to sell to make up for not being shown live on Sky again?

We will get much less now. Screen grabs in the Echo, none in the Plymouth papers. I expect our rare appearance in a national will not happen at all. It can only have a negative effect.

So what, if there had been a Swedish company on floor 97 they might have lost most. We're out there because it's a security issue for the planet, not for an eye for an eye.

Do you think having close to zero pictures in the national press will increase or decrease the amount the club will get for sponsorship?

That was just an example, people from many countries died in 9/11. It's either a Worldwide problem or it's not. If Cortese was in charge of our armed forces he would have pulled out immediately and sent the rest of Europe an invoice for work undertaken on their behalf.

10,000 or 19,000, it's still more than many other country's. Islamic terrorism is a Worldwide problem, it's Sweden's as much as ours. You are right it is 10K, France can only muster 3,750, Belgium 575, and the good old Irish can only manage to get hold of a mighty 6. Sounds fair to me.

I don't suggest everyone pull out, just us. NATO can replace our troops with other country's. For example, according to Wikipedia we have 19,500 there, Sweden have 530. It's time to even things out a bit.

Colonial or not, we seem to stick our noses in where it's not wanted more than most countries. Afganistan is a problem but it is a World problem, not ours. We should withdraw ALL our forces immediately and just let someone else do it, we have more than played our part for a country of our size. It's complete lunacy talking about defense cuts while we're over there shooting millions of pounds worth of stuff at a bunch of shepherds. Cut 1 should be cut and run - then start doing the maths.

It is weird how some managers do really well then just turn cr@p.

Iraq and Afganistan must have cost a fortune and they are countries on the other side of the planet that should not concern us. I agree with the afgan war in principle but we should only have a token force there like many countries.

We obviously spend way too much on defence, we've got to get over this old colonial attitude where we feel the need to **** about in other people's countries. We are just a small skint island of the northern coast of Europe. So what if Iran and Korea have nukes - it's none of our business.

I'm not bothered about the press, it's more what dumb decisions like this say about our chairman.

The problem is nowadays if you throw a bog roll on the pitch you will be caught n CCTV throwing a "missile" arrested, thrown in Jail and be crucified by the nerds on here.

It seems pretty clear how it works from that article... "As a media team, we do our best to make journalists, broadcasters, photographers and officials from visiting clubs welcome." Makes more sense than each club banning other photographers then making them pay for pics. Any money the club makes it will have to spend for pics any way.

"The official stance is that the club are unhappy with external organisations using images of their players. Open up today's match programme and you will find pictures of Peter Reid, Carl Fletcher and Bondz N'Gala, pictures taken by Disco Dave and used by Southampton without our permission." Ban other photographers then use their photography in your own matchday programme - nice one Nicola.

Unless they take into account luck, lack of effort and standard of performance and still think it's worth booing?

I'm booing this thread right now

We desperately missed Antonio and Papa IMO. Not enough pace up front. If we are serious about promotion we will have to bring some players in. At the moment the squad is weaker than last year.
