The problem is that if/when the Conservatives get in, it will make very little difference. This country swings between Red and Blue on a regular basis. Surely we all remember 1997 when people were sick to death of the Tories and New Labour were going to be the answer? The only difference is this time it`s Red to Blue when last time it was Blue to Red. Its a cycle that we can`t, for many reasons, get out of. All of the "major" parties are full of self seeking MP`s who only priorities are feathering their nests and doing and saying whatever they need to do to hold on to power. I am heartily sick to death of the "Yah-Boo" politics that we have to put up with in this country, where the well being of the ordinary people seems to be at the bottom of the list of priorities. Something needs to be done to break the mould. I don`t pretend to know how this is going to happen or who is going to do it. Turning to extremism, either left or right isn`t the answer (but could be a result) but a return to the values of common sense, coupled with fair-play for all may be a start. I won`t hold my breath waiting though.

I believe that I read somewhere that no negotiations took place between Pearson and Lowe and that the first inkling that he had that he wasn`t being kept on was when his agent phoned him and told him. From that it would appear that Lowe had no intention of keeping Pearson on board regardless of monetary considerstion as his mind was set on going ahead with the "Total Football" experiment.

A skate??

Isn`t that what most good exciting wingers do??:confused:

Not quite ALL of our fans!

So Pardew is wrong then??

Nice to read some common sense comments for a change.

It was just a hypothetical question - an interesting (I thought) subject for a debate, not a "dig up the past" post. Bloody Hell!!:confused:

It always seems strange to me that the "PC" brigade always preach "tolerance" but are never tolerant of any views opposed to theirs!

I do hope that you have a tin hat ready for the incoming, you racist, Daily Mail reading Nazi bastard!

With Leicester gaining promotion at the first attempt last season and top of the Championship this morning, it makes you wonder what would have happened if Rupert HAD stuck with Nigel Pearson. Would the old regime still be here?? Whilst I am extremely happy with our current situation, this must make one or two people on here think about eating their words!!

Is that Helpmerhonda???

Thanks for that. I did press "Translate" on my Google toolbar but it didn`t help much.

TBH no.

I didn`t realised that he worked in a shipyard before he turned professional.

We have had a "Memory Foam" mattress (not a topper) for over a year and it is excellent. It is worth trying various types in the shop but the trouble is that they all take a few nights to get used to. See this thread:- http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=16982

Does this mean that the food there will be vegetarian from now on? Oh...........................................McCarthey!! Sorry.

Tee-Hee!!!

Saw this at The New London Theatre last night. A staggering peice of theatre, brilliantly staged. The full sized horse puppets are brilliant. It is by turns exhilarating and heart breaking. The WW1 battle scenes are very well done. can`t recommend this highly enough. http://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/warhorse

Come on! I think it`s quite cute!

Sir Clive Woodard anyone?

Innocent until proved guilty surely??
