Can we end this foul practice now we're top-end-of-the-table big time Premier League boys?

It'll take Labour's vote too. You're forgetting about people like Gillian Duffy, who make a lie out of the Labour fantasy that their voters won't vote UKIP. I live in one of the safest Labour areas in the country, yet plenty of people here are concerned about EU migration. Historical support is no guarantee of current alignment, and the Millbank crowd would do well to remember why working class people vote for Labour in the first place; because they're the party that is seen to look after the common man. UKIP have moved into that space, and yes - it may be cheap populism, it may even be demagoguery but none of their messages would take root if the fundamental issue of an in/out EU referendum were promised by a major party. The major political parties have left many Eurosceptics with no choice. UKIP will eat Labour votes too.

Hands up anyone that thinks UKIP will be a party of government. Now let's see those who think it might be an effective protest party.

Quite agree, but...

I see the forum's resident apologist for the establishment has decided to give us a piece of his wisdom, or more accurately a little bit of everyone else's. This is like a Frankenstein'ed version of the various little hit pieces that are out there, except nowhere near as well expressed. I thought Farage's defence of his expenses situation was considerably more honest than any of the other pigs caught in the trough. I very much enjoyed the Guardianista's banging on about an anti-EU politician not using his discretionary budget for EU purposes. I bet all those who put him in his seat are spitting feathers "You mean Nigel is not spending his money on advancing EU interests!" Fancy that.

This is a concerted and cynical attempt to smear UKIP, largely because they're doing well. All the usual tricks are in play; dragging up stories from the past, associating Farage with some of his fruitier members. The problem is that people tend to do the exact opposite of what you're telling them to. Almost every media outlet is telling their consumers "don't vote for UKIP", in some way or another.

John Denham has already asked for the racist comparisons to stop. Says it'll backfire, which I agree with.

See, you do have something in common. Marriages have survived on less.

So have we ignored all the trolls yet?

Couldn't do that, but I can't resist a good pun.

Now that this thread is open again, I'm expecting to see some top quality stuff from the freedom fighters on this thread. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?50064-st-chalet#.U2c96_ldXcg "You are the witness of change and to counter-act. Yo, we gotta take the power back" Have at it, lads.

This is an excellent comparison for anyone still looking to buy new hardware. http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinions/xbox-one-vs-sony-ps4 I did very much enjoy the top 5 reasons to get an XBox One though, even if none of them actually convinced me.

I never once said that everybody was consigning him to the scrapheap. I'd have thought it would have been incredibly obvious, given that I was actually replying to someone who shares a similar view to me. What point are you arguing here? That I think everyone is writing him off? Here's what I wrote. How on earth do you justify your little rant based on that? Get a grip, man.

stedje reckons he's ordinary, S-Clarke reckons he's championship, Saint_Tony reckons he's destined for League One. There are other opinions on his present readiness to be had too. I'll admit; no-one's suggesting he should be sent to the knacker's yard, but relatively speaking, he's being rated as much worse than our other youngsters with very little game time to form those opinions on.

I too find it somewhat amusing that people are able to consign him to the scrapheap so readily. It's just setting yourself up for a massive fail down the line. While there is no guarantee that Sam is going to be the next superstar, he's ahead of all the other academy kids for a reason and hasn't done himself any harm through his performances so far. Most sensible fans realise how young he is, know he's lacking a bit of composure but understand that he's got a long time to work on it. Whatever next? Travelling down to the under-9s games and hurling abuse at the nippers? "Your shít and you're short!" "I agree mate. Toure would bulldoze the little bastard."

I presume that when he's finally caught, arrested and convicted he'll be placed into a special wing in nick fitting the heinous nature of the crime.

I wasn't there, and only followed the game on radio. I have now watched the highlights. If Gallagher can stop fluffing his lines, he's going to be special. We're moaning, but at least he's in the right place to miss them, and he's got a huge amount of time to improve. The goal was bizarre, but again, couldn't have happened if Rickie hadn't been sniffing around the box. I see Garry Monk is bigging himself up for the task again. Bloke deserves credit for not getting them relegated, but chances for permanent manager?

I would be gutted if trousers dropped down to 3 posts a day, such is the esteem I hold the honourable gentleman on the right. I hope that all those that have announced they're leaving will get the mods the chance to nip specific shít in the bud, and reconsider if things improve.

I'm coming down for this one. It has the potential to be a superb season ender. United apparently weren't at the races today. I'd say it could be another big team upset, but they are only one place above us. Certainly a chance to inflict a bit of misery and look some Manc fans in the eye while doing it.
