] Please read what I posted. I didn`t say that you used "disappointing" but that these words were being used in a number of posts. Seems like misconcostruing is a two-way street.

Yours was the last of a number of posts that used the words "underwhelming", "disappointing" etc. I just annoys me that some people on here seem to have forgotten where we were a year ago and where we are now. I know that football is all about opinions, but let`s at least see the lad play before dismissing him.

We are in League One!!! We have a manager from above this level who hasn`t put a foot wrong (yet!). We have signed players like Lambert, Hammomd, Jaidi, Fonte etc. We have spent more than anyone else in this division. We have just signed a player who played for Liverpool and was rated by a lot of Scousers and has had a couple of good seasons in divisions above ours and you`re underwhelmed! I hope that the powers-that-be don`t take too much notice of the whingers on here who condemn players before they have even kicked a ball for us!!

Yes all 450 of them!

Radio 5Live just said that they were expecting to hear from the PL re: the embargo later today.

Spot on!

People have moaned for years about the OS - "no real news" etc. Now that they are trying to break things first on there, people are still moaning!!

I know what you are saying about "RotK" but the whole film trilogy was an absolutely amazing interpetation of the books. It is easy to pick holes but Peter Jackson did as good a job as anyone could do, cinematically speaking. These will always be amongst my favourite pieces of cinema.

I know that it probably won`t go down well on here, but have just watched "Young Victoria". Absolutely superb film! Co-produced by Martin Scorsese! If you have any interest in our history it is well worth a look. Please don`t dismiss this as a "chickflick". A really good piece of film-making.

Now, they`re really good!!

I use this word quite a lot - even used it in a few posts on here. I picked it up many, many years ago from some "natives" of the New Forest where it seemed to be in general use.

Never heard of him. Is he any good??

.......he is so dominant!

Isn`t that Harry Hills "Knitted Character"??

Raising money for wages by selling naming rights for FP? I wonder how much Lidl or Aldi can come up with??

Mushy Peas??

I am Southampton born and bred and when I grew up in the 50`s and 60`s it was used both as a term of friendship - "Alright, Mush??" - (in fact my dad still uses it in that way) and in the same way as the word "bloke" i.e."these two Mushes were walking along the road", but as far as the origin of the word, I was told it was from the Romany meaning " man ".

...and the difference is....?

An educated guess is that it`s not Pericard!

Laying tarmac??

The Chap with the Bell?

I did hear these. You are right, they are excellent. A few weeksago I also listened to the re-runs of the "Paul Temple" series. I just about remember these from when I was a nipper. Boy have they dated!! Listening to Radio 7, it quite staggering how attitudes have changed in a PC way over the years. Listening to some of the "Han****s" and even "The Goons" from the 50`s made me realise that they wouldn`t get away with certain things nowadays!

Love "TNL". Listen to BBC 7 a lot and it`s on there quite a lot. I am currently working my way through series 1 to 7 of "Old Harrys Game" (Christmas present) with Andy Hamilton. My favourite "modern" sit-com.

Very good article in todays Daily Mail:- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1240634/As-British-Muslim-Im-appalled-callous-attempt-insult-brave-troops.html

Oh yes! I forgot that!
