That'll be McInnes and his cronies

2-2 draw v the mighty Wycombe ! Still equal top, 6 points behind with 4 teams above

So true, they will have to compete with 'massive' clubs like Fleetwood, Burton Albion, Bury and Shrewsbury ! But let's not deny them their dreams and aspirations, eh ? :)

Your opening line in this thread is : "Gonna be in big trouble in January", stated as a 'fact'. The fact that there is no done deal means that you are speculating ! For the rest of my post I'll accept that I am a pathetic little scrote

This is how it works : 1. Alps starts a thread with a provocative statement based on nothing factual and always negative ! 2. Forum members respond (predictably!) with personal attacks ! 3. Alps takes umbrage and calls for people to be banned ! 4. We win the next few matches and we don't see him for a while ! Quite simple really. (ps. Eric, my tongue is as much in cheek as yours was )

I have a good friend who is Egyptian and a very well educated Arabic speaker. I asked him if there ever could be a solution to this problem and his answer was : "only if they rewrite the Quran" - he has been a scholar in his time and assures me that the words are explicit in a way which is seriously antagonistic to 'infidels' ! Obviously the extremists exploit this but a huge number of Muslims also believe this to be a fact, so hoping for support from the average 'peace loving' majority may well be a pipe dream !

I dozed through the 1st half then turned over to watch the Grand Prix, did I miss anything ??

Might actually watch it for a laugh, not much else to do in this lousy weather

Aren't they the 2nd biggest 'fan owned' club in the country ? :)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34811963 Seems that Cardiff and Newport have a problem with the rebranding of the 'Football League' which will become the 'English Football League' ! One quote is : "It's a little bit insulting that both Welsh clubs will be classed as English," Tim Hartley said. Personally I don't see why they can't just remain as Welsh clubs playing in the English league (which is the reality of the situation and has been for years) and can't see why umbrage should be taken, anyway at least they haven't cried racism so far :)

Definitely one of those articles that will come back and bite him in the arse

Dream scenario, St Mary's welcomes the Skates for their big day in the sun, bring it on...........

For all the abuse he gets, I thought that Yoshida had a solid game ! Still prefer Cedric but clearly 'the end justifies the means' !

Anybody who does buy one, in the mistaken belief that they are getting more than is stated on the advertising bumph, is a fool to himself ! Read the terms and make your mind up, should be pretty easy for most I imagine ! I assume that you haven't bought one ?

QPR are owned by Asians (Fernandez, Mittal etc..) and have a black director of football (Ferdinand) and they appointed a black manager (Ramsey). As soon as they sack their manager it becomes an issue of race (in some minds!) - bizarre !!

A fair view on where he fits in the Saints team today and personally I detect very good potential in him ! He will be a 'water carrier' rather than a flair player so will take more time to win over the fans than a goalscorer or a tricky winger for example ! Ronald clearly rates him and seems inclined to give him a run in the first team which should enable him to settle into his role sooner rather than later ! Certainly, negative comments after only 3 games seems very short sighted to me and serve no useful purpose !

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3289486/England-footballer-Luke-Shaw-denies-gay-growing-internet-rumours-sexuality-reported-two-players-come-out.html One to cross off the list then ?

She said: "I, as an ethnic minority woman, cannot be racist or sexist towards white men, because racism and sexism describe structures of privilege based on race and gender. Certainly a bit concerning if someone in a 'diversity' position at a university holds this view, it's an outright admission that racism only applies one way !

Golden thread Pity the original subject got completely sidelined by childish behaviour !

I totally agree with these statements in bold, yes it's going to take some brave souls to do it and yes, there is an issue but I am convinced that it'll settle very quickly after it happens !

Meanwhile... Any news on gay footballers about to come out and is it the right thing to do ??

The difference between the two teams was quality, in terms of passion, workrate, energy and enthusiasm they matched us but we get the 3 points because we had that extra edge in the 1st half ! Strange game but hey, a win is a win !!

Classic game of 2 halves but have no idea why we stopped playing the same way after the break but fair do's we are up to 7th !!

Not only the bestest, they are now the 'toppest'

Lost at Notts County today but at least they remain top of the league 7 points behind Plymouth and 2 behind Oxford
