I think putting Joe Hart in goal now would be a complete disaster, if James is not fit I would stick with Green. In my opinion people underestimate the importance of experience in these games. Green didn't mess up because of lack of talent, it was because he was under the sort of pressure he had never experienced before and lost his concentration. Sticking Hart into that environment would be suicide.

David James should play as experience counts alot in these pressure games.

You're right, acountancyage should be a more reliable source than some redtop. http://www.accountancyage.com/accountancyage/news/2264288/hmrc-set-veto-cva I suppose they will reject the CVA then contest the football creditors rule when the first parachute payment gets directed straight to the football creditors. Anything that drags it out is good news, makes the -17 more likely.

No, but if the value of the pension drops it just means you get less when you are old no? Anyway if BP goes bust then all the other oil companies will benefit from it, thus increasing pensions linked to those.

Instead of a number can you get one with a big backslash on the back, thus completing the Mrs World sash?

Not really, just a bunch of old people wont be able to spend as much.

Do we know that HRMC will not support the CVA? I've been on Hols and can't be arsed to trawl through half a million posts.

I thought they were not British - some on here seem to think so?

I agree, I hope Obama throws the book at them, and I think he will. This will cost BP 10s of billions.

We go skins - and it will still look less gay than that sash.

Get in! That shut those horn blowing ****s up.

Just because a company has foreign shareholders doesn't mean it's foreign. Every PLC in the country will have shareholders who don't live in Britain.

That's just branding/marketing ******, everyone knows why it's called BP.

The away kit will have a sponsor - FACT.

To be fair BP does stand for British Petrolium.

The top looks OK on its own but with white shorts and black socks the kit as a whole doesn't look great. The retro idea is sound but if we wore white shirts, white shorts and black socks 125 years ago it was probably because it's all they could get hold of, not because it looked good. I take it we're gonna have to sing "come on you whites" now?

That's because the news was already out in the public domain, Cortese threw a girly strop which is fair enough but banning them was pathetic. Even Rupert Lowe didn't stoop that low after all the **** the Echo threw at him (much much worse than anything Cortese has). Though he did sometimes release info after their print deadline. I would hate to have a local press under the control of the club, I think it's in everyone's interests if they are free to publish stories that Cortese might not like.

I'm pretty sure that's Cortese's attitude. He doesn't give a flying **** that many Saints fans like to read up to date info on the club in their local paper. In fact it doesn't appear that Cortese gives a **** about the fans at all.

I'm sure this happens at other clubs yet they seem capable of offering a payment plan. If the STs were released on time they would be more or less paid for by the time they were sent out anyway so a few chavs pulling a fast one wouldn't matter. There is no glossing over it, the way this ST thing has been handled has been a complete disaster. They would have had my cash in the bank long ago if t hey had done a March Madness, now with a recent change in my job security and the fact that they want £400 quid up front just as I get back from holiday they can go jump. Lowe managed to get me to part with my cash every year for a decade despite being a complete ****.

Mr Luker is not very good at explaining things is he.

If the club are worried about defaulters (I dont know why as they could have set it up so most money comes out before a ball is kicked) they could easily have just given renewals a chance to use the payment plan. Face it, now the club have a sugar daddy they don't need to give a **** about the fans. That's why they can chuck 15 grands worth of programmes in a skip on a whim and ban the local paper (some fans only source of news on the club) when the Chairman has a girly strop.

A credit card lending someone £400 is completely different to a football club sending a out a booklet and them paying for it in installments. One has risk the other has none.

I fail to see how buying on installments is being subsidised, if anything it gives the club the opportunity to make more money, it doesn't have to be interest free. Comparing installments to a credit card is ******, credit card companies take a risk in lending money. All the club are doing is sending out a booklet worth next to nothing, there is no risk. Whoever has organized these season tickets has made a complete mess of it, if they had done a March Madness they would already have the cash in the bank earning interest.

Take your heads out the sand, Dune has a point. If Cortese's PR is this bad when things are going well imagine what they will be like when things are going bad. Luckily PR is not that important, as long as things are right on the pitch nothing else matters at a football club, hopefully Cortese is better than Lowe in this dept.
