Maybe we could merge with the Portsmouth bid, we supply the World class stadia, 5 star hotels and airport, they provide a location for the Romanian and Irish fans to park their caravans.

Why would Bristol want a 40,000 seater stadium? Bristol City average 14,413 in the Championship, Rovers average 7,426. Merge them together to form Bristol United and they be the size of us in League 1. Unless they have a really popular Rugby team a 40K stadium in Bristol would be pointless. As for Plymouth, thats a joke.

I can't decide if this is good or bad news, considering what he's had to work with Hart couldn't have done alot more, there's a chance he's been working miracles just to get to 7 points and they will now capitulate. Looks like a panic decision to me, they don't have anything to lose by giving somone else a go because at the moment they look doomed. I can't see anyone decent touching that job with a barge pole.

Whilst I think his views on the science is complete nonsense, I fear he is depressingly accurate about the attitude of the politicians. They can't even agree on a target let alone meet a target. If the scientists are right then we, as a country, should focus on adapting to whatever changes will happen, thanks mainly to the US and China. Lord Lawson makes me want to puke when he mentions winners and losers, he knows full well that if what is predicted does happen then millions of people in Africa and Asia who rely on subsistence farming will probably die.

I find the new Waitrose Xmas ad particularly distasteful, the one that aligns their products with the happiness of a soldier relative returning home from a war zone just in time for the perfect Christmas. Yeah nice one you heartless ****s, that must make great viewing for those thousands of people who will spend this Xmas without their loved ones who returned home in a coffin.

Maybe you should give the World's Scientific community a call and let them know about ice ages and stuff?

I reckon Saturday's game would be a good opportunity to give that Jacob Mellis guy a run out.

I would have thought we would have learned by now, if a young player has a few dodgy games it doesn't mean they are ****e. On the whole Trotman has been excellent for Saints this season.

I would rest Davis, Jaidi, Harding, Trotman, Scheiderlin, Hammond, James, Lallana, Connolly and Lambert. We can't win the FA Cup so might as well concentrate on the JPT and league.

I think the Brighton performance put to bed any lingering hopes of play-offs, today just confirmed it. We're still 4 points adrift, we need to get out of the relegation zone quick, I don't want another squeaky bum run in.

Britain.

Don't blame me, I wasn't even alive when we invaded Ireland. My point was that technically the British Isles is the islands which includes your country. To quote Wiki... The British Isles are a group of islands off the northwest coast of continental Europe that include Great Britain, Ireland and over six-thousand smaller islands.[7] There are two sovereign states located on the islands: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and Ireland.[8] The British Isles also include the Crown Dependencies of the Isle of Man and, by tradition, the Channel Islands, although the latter are not geographically part of the island group.

Exactly.

If the England bid includes an extended Fratton Park with 8,000 temporary seats on scaffolding complete with portaloos and burger vans, then we don't stand a chance. Even South Africa have managed to build enough decent stadia.

My guess is that Gaydamak knows that it is inevitable that PFC will go into admin at some point, even if they stay up this year they are just buying time. Without serious investment by someone willing to chuck millions down a black hole or a footballing miracle it will only end in administration in the Championship. By keeping fartton park or just the land around it he keeps the only thing that will have any value, if a Leibherr type wants to pick them up for a snip after admin they will want to buy the land of Gaydamack.

It's all just a storm in a tea cup, these skeptics have got hold of OVER 10 YEARS worth of emails and all they can come up with is a couple of scientists making a joke about someone who's died and a bit of selective statistics. Without seeing the full emails in context it is impossible to draw conclusions from them except that a handfull of scientists have been a bit unprofessional in their personal emails. When you consider what they are up against, like some of the graphs you've posted on here, that look like they've been done in Coral Draw by some redneck on an oil rig in Texas, you can't blame them for massaging the figures for certain uses to get a point across to some Sun readers. If there was some massive, worldwide conspiracy like you suggest any hackers would have unearthed a hell of alot more than they did. It really is nothing.

It is because we own Northern Ireland which is on the same island as Ireland.

Southampton would easily get it if they got their act together, the only competitors in the southern area are portsmouth (bid floundering - like the club), Bristol (nowhere near enough demand for a 40k stadium) and Plymouth (LOL). All Marcus has to do is get an architect draw up some imaginative plans for the SMS extension, get the council on board it would be in the bag.

What a load of ******, it's just a few emails from some geeks in East Anglia ****ed off about nobheads like Saint George. Not exactly important.

I saw at least two Robbie Keane handballs in the second half - that is all that needs to be said really.

Am I right in thinking this tart hasn't been elected by anyone?

This thread reminds me of an away trip to Everton years ago. We ended up in a home fans pub and we got chatting to these scousers and among them was this old codger who was probably about 80. Every game he would turn up a the boozer completely skint, and these guys would buy him a few beers and club together and get him a ticket for the game. He was probably loaded and on fiddle but fair play to the scousers who were not that well off but all chipped in for the old geezer.

Romance is part or the appeal that generates the money though. If a competition is perceived as sterile, dull, predictable and corrupt people will soon turn off their TV. I'm not against seeding but the group stages were already seeded, once you get to the play-off stage and team loses their right to be seeded because they have already been given an advantage and proved to be not good enough to go through automatically - they should be considered equal at that stage.

Complete nonsense, the FA Cup is way way more interesting because it's not seeded, that's the whole appeal of it, the romance of the cup (even though recently it's just ended up as Man U v Chelsea anyway). The World Cup is already too heavily seeded, unseeded teams in Europe often have a near impossible task of qualifying even if they are a better team than half the seeded ones.
