I suggest taking a hot lunch to calm yourself down.

I've still got loads to do. Haven't even touched expansions yet. Anyone got em?

This. Seriously Frank - I want to read your posts, but they're fkn hard going mate. This small change would make a huge difference.

Don't go to any extra effort on my account. Your usual "brave Sir Robin" act is just fine. If you wanted to finesse it a little, you could make like your chicken power animal and cluck off.

You replied to it, mucker. Your one-liner fooled no-one. Fair dos, though. You get to maintain the delusion of being right. Everyone else gets a free picture of the forum bully running away from himself.

Well, I'm still bitter enough to hope you're right.

I'm on mainstream media sites all the time; I just don't trust them as a sole source of news. It's good to see the skeptical side of Complete Bollócks though. Run along and give this a proper reply. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?51659-September-One-Judgement-Day&p=2045053#post2045053 We're all waiting for further evidence of your intellectual superiority. Your chicken-shít act on the Judgement Day thread was therefore a disappointment.

Just making the point that while you may struggle to spot the intellectual point of the comparison, others, including broadsheet newspapers, have done precisely that. Now some might see that as evidence of something else. I'm choosing to use it as representative of your intellectual superiority over the rest of your species. Once again, well done. Coming on here must be like a broadband router doing a stint as a 9600 baud modem. We all live in awe, y'know.

20% is a big decline; ask any business owner if he'd like to lose 20% of his or her customers in a year. The decline at Wembley is even bigger; more like a 35% drop in attendance. When Hodgson announced Rooney as captain, he heralded four more years of more of the same. Rooney, the player that probably needs to be dropped most, is now virtually undroppable. That'll make England virtually unwatchable, borne out by last night's viewing figures and the actual experience of watching the game.

I still think Spurs will lay waste to many of the smaller teams, but it will be interesting to see whether Poch is truly found out this year, especially now that he isn't our manager

I expect this is one of those incidents that bletch mentioned, in which you are simply cleverer than everyone else on the planet. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/sep/04/great-british-bake-off-bbc-ratings-itv-england-norway http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/england/11074627/Great-British-Bake-Off-thrashes-England-v-Norway-in-ratings-battle-after-Wembley-friendly-turns-off-viewers.html http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/england-vs-norway-audience-figures-well-beaten-by-great-british-bakeoff-9711086.html https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/pitchside-europe/tv-cookery-fans-dish-out-ultimate-insult-for-england-team-093006527.html http://www.theweek.co.uk/football/60261/desperate-england-cant-even-beat-the-great-british-bake-off Well done, again.

Think that was the main frustration of many Saints fans with Poch. The pass-to-pass meta-game was spot-on, but never really felt there was a solid route to scoring. Tactically great, but strategically rudderless at times.

In fairness, they've tracked his movements to come up with that assessment, Rickie was known for dropping deeper and it's still early days.

I was just quoting Nirvana lyrics. I never expected the follow-up grilling. In many ways, this reflects the plight of the soon-to-be-caught fish.

Nah, comparing TV ratings, which is a fair comparison. I personally reckon this England team is going to be a ratings disaster until Hodgson, Rooney or both are moved on.

Good article from the Premier League's website. http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/news/features/talking-tactics-ronald-koeman-gives-southampton-fans-reasons-to-be-cheerful.html An early-bird assessment of life under Ronald Koeman.

It's ok to eat fish 'cos they don't have any feelings.

So, the nation that invented association football would rather spend time watching its citizens bake stuff than watch their national team, to the tune of about 4m people. Thought that was worth mentioning. I draw the line at doing your research for you. You're sure anyway, right? Unqualified certainty is surprisingly ok in 2014

Great British Bakeoff had 4m more viewers than England national team.

Man Utd are a very poor example of a club doing regular transfer business. Van Persie was the last truly effective signing they made, and while they landed some huge names this window, their policy doesn't seem especially coherent.

Two options:- LIAR = The whole knowing Muslims part. GULLIBLE = Painting the worst possible picture of Muslims, despite only knowing moderates yourself.

Only one person inventing stuff here, I'm afraid. Let's recap. You've listed a series of horror stories gathered from the hysterical front pages of the media. You know "90% more Muslims than anyone else on here", yet you don't know any extremists. Even so, you're still making the case that extremists are here and very dangerous. The only time you mentioned moderates is when your experience was challenged. Your general position is incongruent with your claimed experience, making you either a liar or someone gullible enough to let sensationalist newspaper stories trump your own personal experience. Pick whatever cap fits.

You are making the case about the dangers of Islamic extremism. You say you know more Muslims than "90% of the people on here". You describe Muslims as "international jihadists, paedophile rings, bombings and beheadings in the UK, Trojan Horse take over". There are two problems here. First, you've omitted your own day-to-day experience in these claims. Difficult to tell, but it sounds like you're saying that you don't know any Islamic extremists, meaning that every Muslim you know is a moderate. Please correct me if I'm wrong on that. Which leads to the second problem. Why would someone with your stated level of interaction with Muslims, and has never met any extremists, start banging the extremist drum? Surely you're doing all the moderate Muslims you've met a massive disservice with your ill-considered comments? You're either being dishonest about your experience or worse, have met loads of moderate Muslims and have decided to paint them all as extremists anyhow.

So basically, in order to make your big scary points, you avoided mentioning the moderates that you know? Out of all the Muslims you know, how many are moderates and how many are extremists?
