I think that you have been pretty realistic, sure some be be a bit more, some a bit less but your bottom line looks about right to me !

TBF these groups have been at each others throats for centuries, the tribal culture in the middle east is the main reason why it will (at least in my lifetime!) always be a hotbed of hatred and violence ! Add in the undemocratic nature of most (maybe even all?) of their governments and it's easy to see why it's a volatile, unpredictable and often dangerous part of the world ! I have travelled extensively but mostly flew over the middle east, I reckon that this is good advice for most of us !!

As a Saints fan I enjoy going to matches and supporting my team ! With the expectation that 17th would be achieved with great difficulty, I have been encouraged by many of the performances under both managers so far ! We have chucked points away by making elementary, individual mistakes too often but the quality of play has generally been very good ! Pochettino clearly believes in style and panache and I think that given time to adapt to a new situation he might well prove a shrewd appointment (I was unimpressed when NA was sacked!).

Next two games are Man U and Arsenal, both away, so whoever takes over has a job on his hands even before they play us in 3 weeks time !!

I met Tony on a few occasions (my daughter was his daughter Libby's best friend at school!) and he was a good lad ! Easy to speak to, loved his football and many other sports ! RIP

They're on a roll now, just watch them go.......

Got sick, I hear !

I'd like a summary too, am sitting by the pool in the sunshine !

It looks to me like another advert for those watches ! I would assume that he will become a goalkeeping coach and be emergency back up but not necessarily considered for the first team ?

It might help I suppose if he was able to kick the ball with his left foot ? Not a good idea IMHO !

But surely their competitors will see this as an unfair subsidy which they don't get ??

Where is the evidence of this 'extra' £4mil of PP's ??

A Skate : "Yeah but, yeah but, yeah but.... If we get hit with another -10 next season we will be penalised 4 times for the same offence, innit ? You call us the deludedest but that's just not fair, eh ?

A wander around Lymington then a day return to Yarmouth on the ferry (remind them to turn their watches back by 50 years!). They'll get a bit of fresh air, maybe lunch in the Kings Head, a stroll along the pier, a look around the shops and then home ! I'm sure that some will take the p!ss but on a nice day it will be a bit different !!

It'll be part of the next CVA !

Is Cropper crapper than Gazza ? That is the (almost alliterative) question !

Lallanna is still adjusting to the local culture ! Ramirez is an injury prone, show pony ! Get rid !

I find it hard to believe that they have gotten an extra £4 million in PP's ! If they had, then surely there would be an outcry from other clubs in their league and also that the PFA would refuse to further reduce the outstanding payments to their members ? I'm also pretty sure that this would have been mentioned in the press already ??

If you really want to witness 'pillock mentality' - follow the match day thread when we are losing ! It truly is a non-joy to behold ! Fair enough that these guys are not at the game (location etc..) but they bring a whole new dimension to negativity ! Fortunately, when at home I go to the stadium but at the moment I'm in Africa so had the misfortune to need updates through the SWF thread ! Grrrrr.....

"Too good to go down" is a nonsense expression ! Generally speaking, teams that play better football will get better results over a season, however, three teams will be relegated come what may and they will be less good than the others ! Effective football comes in different guises, some (WHU, Stoke?) play direct, others (Swansea, WBA ?) a neat passing game, but eventually those who are least effective will go down ! Not rocket science !!

It's a dangerous game this Skate bashing lark ! Best just to stick to p!sstaking rather than full blown liable and slander methinks !

I'd be supporting my team like I always do, then again I'm not a keyboard warrior who can only sit on his arse and criticise every time something goes against us ! We'll have ups and downs, that's the way it is but I prefer to get behind the team especially when they need it most !

I wasn't talking about the team, I was referring to arseholes like you !

Am normally at the matches so don't have to follow this thread and thank God for that ! Such a load of whingers, we will lose some and win some but you lot are the fecking pits, you don't deserve a team to support !!

And the prize for the prat of the year award goes to ......
