What the buggery **** does this have to do with Saints?

Just tick "Disable Smileys In Text" option in Advanced Reply. (18)

Now that would have been a plan. Far too good of a plan for me to have pulled off on a Friday afternoon, mind.

I bet those West Ham fans do.

So, reporting then? damn those reporters reporting on things!

One of the first thoughts that jumped into my head too.

****.

IIRC, it's something to do with the need for a signature - so it has to be a letter or a fax, an email wont do. same for Transfer Requests I believe.

Sibley tweeting that Jason has joined QPR, subject to PL approval.

Well, Im not buying that. 2 mins? ********. If it really was 120 seconds late, then the FA would have OKed it. QPR being bull****ters.

Some kid called Oxon-Chamberpot or summit like that.

Sorry, tired today.

Meh, dont get confused between Romany Gypsies who move freely and at will with Travellers who take up temporary residency someone (where temporary can mean any length of time you want)

As I live not too far away, i can answer some of Andy's questions. 1) Nuisance? Not really, in the typical "here some the gypos!" way. They have been there a long time, and the locals in Crays Hills are used to them and they dont disturb them. The areas further afield (Billericay, Brentwood etc) have seen some trouble that is linked to new arrivals, but nothing to get excited about. Nusisance as it "they have ruined the land", then yes there is a point here. The "builders" that are based on the farm are known in the area and do a lot of work on the old 50s garages that proliferate that bit of Essex. These nearly always have asbestos problems, but rather than having the roof properly disposed off, they are dumped on the farm land. Also, as was the case last summer, a large number of large, long burning bonfires have caused problems on the local main roads and residential areas. Also, other travellers have been attracted to thee area due to the high profile of the farm, and this has caused issues to land-grabbing and squatting on farm land and the local parks. These were nipped in the bud quickly. 2) Local Infrastructure. Again, this seems to be fine. The main way to get to the farm in on a side road off the A127, which can be a pretty major route and turning off at the turning can be, shall we say, an experience sometimes. As for other inf, such as power and water, I believe all the land is powered and watered from a main inlet which is all 100% paid and above board. Another item of note is that there have been a lot of reports of the travellers racing their horses and traps up and down the A127 - Ive seen it myself enough times. There have been a few crashes, injuries and traffic problems relating to this. The general feeling is that there are no problems with them exercising the animals on lesser roads, but not on the A127, A12 and the trunk roads. 3) Legality. The original farm is IIRC brown belt and they own it and have permission to constrained development. The problem is the growth of the site onto green belt land (which they purchased) and the illegal building on this without planning permission. The "excess" population have been offered over 50 alternative sites in the general area (ranging from Southend to Thurrock, and from Chelmsford to Romford) but they steadfastly refuse to move. Remove the fact of the "ethnicity" of the group and ask yourself if you would condone someone building hundreds of buildings on green belt land they owned, contravening planning permission. I would hope that most people would want any development removed in that case, so why not this case?

Ethnic cleansing? Do people actually know the meaning of terms that they use on here, or are they so caught up in their own hyperbole that they actually believe these things.

Yeah, coz every transfer of every player for every club always comes off.

+1 for the Bose. Aftersales is excellent with them too.

Failed medical I bet.

This. And this. What the very ****ery ****?

Looks more like Danny Murphy TBH Mattio.

TBF, they should know 1) what to expect from a football forum and 2) what to expect when you put yourself up as a "object of desire" on a national TV show. If they dont have the balls to take comments on here, then why go on TV and promote yourself via the classic "sex sells".
