Do we have communities where these are as prevalent as illegal immigration?

A friend's father received a more then generous pay-off from Ford for taking early retirement. I'm sure the staff will be fine. Totally unlike the collapse of MG Rover in 2005, the factory I worked in at the time supplied window regulators for the R3 (Rover 25, MG ZR.) Thankfully they also supplied into many more stable firms. The contractors and suppliers are an entirely different matter to the closing factory itself.

Albeit at the other extreme.

What fear tactic? It's just a reminder that if you live here illegally you can face arrest. That's just common sense.

Perception is important but if they are here legally then they have nothing to worry about. The tone is factual, not oppressive and makes no reference to race, just legality. It just shows how stupid this nation is when something which is simply stating the law and repercussions of unlawful behaviour can be considered racist simply due to perceived 'tone.'

Fantastic, not just about the academy being recognised but also the work of Saints foundation in helping local youngsters. Proud to support a club that is working well within it's home community and showing genuine social responsibility. We truly are the complete opposite of our rivals.

Bet he goes for Loic Remy.

Far be it for me to agree with Alpine, but he's right. The message isn't: "Foreigners, Go Home!" As it says on the billboard, "Are you in the UK illegally? If yes, go home or you face arrest." It's not racist, it's common sense.

Good League 1 player, out of his depth in the Championship. Still can't believe we wasted that Coca Cola prize money on him.... even if he was considered a coup at the time. Remember the away game at Coventry when he could have been given all day and still wouldn't have converted a one-on-one if it came.

I was worried we had thrown Shaw in too early last season but he was exceptional. If the staff think Chambers is ready, I am happy to trust their judgement. Thankfully, with Clyne more then good enough he will be able to find his feet without the same pressure we had when Shaw was brought in for Fox.

What time in the hour is this feature broadcasting?

Born in Ashford, Kent, moved to the Winchester area when I was 10. Came to Cov for University in 2002 and have stayed but now looking to return south. I followed Saints when living in the area but only really became totally fanatical when I moved away. Maybe I will mellow again when I do get back to the area..... unlikely I feel.

Celtic will still win the SPL at a canter next year. But if their best two players go to a lower premier league side (as we currently stand) and a championship club what does that really say about them? I really don't believe that Hooper will do that well for QPR. Will score 15+ but will not be the championship's top scorer.

Yes, soft training practices will help them when behind enemy lines. Madness. Any loss of life is tragic but there are always going to be risks in this type of thing.

Or he is doing a double bluff and baiting for his own amusement.

Had that Penalty been given and Rickie not missed a sitter that would have been a very different result. Just nice to see some football again to be fair!

They do look sharp. I'm more then happy to put it down to them being further along their pre-season prep then us for now. We really faded in the second half..... I'm sure I read somewhere that Poch was essentially sending the team into the game a little tired in an effort to work them hard to ensure they are as fit as possible for the new season, so this cannot be a surprise on that basis.

Should have been a penalty there. The overhead kick was blocked by a hand.

Naughton would be utterly perfect for us. Good enough in his own right to step into the first team while also capable of covering either full back position. Supplements and supports our two youngsters without undermining them.

Uchida looked good in the confederations cup too.

If it is Trippier.... well, I would be livid as a Burnley fan... first Fox, then Jay.....

Issues with the medical apparently.

Gino Peruzzi is being mentioned in the HCDAJFU thread.

Still feel it a bit early to Judge on Mayuka, he showed signs of playing his way into the team towards the end of the season. Sharp I do agree with. Damiao... he is someone who I feel would offer the immediate improvement required over the existing first eleven and covers all our usual bases. Vydra.... No.

Oh, as a business deal there is no argument.... Damiao or similar would be a better prospect. Sadly (?!?), the world of football doesn't work purely on cash. The reputation of the clubs concerned will also be a massive factor for most players. If Quagliarella wants to come here and a Damiao doesn't, the argument about figures because a little redundant.
