I can barely be arsed to recycle newspapers! Sad that, whilst I thought of it myself, there's no such thing as original thought in the the age of the internet.

Let me be the first tos ay that "I can't believe it's not Büttner"

Like FC said, mistakes happen - especially with new processes. I renewed two, no problems. As for the valid NUS card they have a bit of a problem. The card expires in August for every Student that left this year. Should they be entitled to a concession even though they might have a job? As someone said. Write / ring / explain = resolve.

MLT's loyalty is overstated. Convenience rather than loyalty IMHO

Some people have no idea as to what a contract is. To terminate there : a) has to be a reason (and being 'rubbish' isn't one of them), b) you reach an agreement with the player (and TF is unlikely to do that) Otherwise it costs you what it would have cost anyway (in fact more as you have to find that money in one lump, rather than pay monthly). We've bought plenty of pups with less return than TF in the last decade (no doubt Lowe personally selected each of them - :rolleyes . Regardless, I suspect TF has cost us less than £500K total in wages AND helped sweeten a Bale deal when we didn't have a pot to **** in. In short, TF helped save the club.

Fair enough be pedantic, but everyone understood what BristolSaint meant so it's your own time your wasting. Personally I am celebrating our recent promotion from the second division - and I don't give a flyigg fudge what you fink!.

Rasiak song reworked... Na na na na na na na Schneiderlin, Morgan Schneiderlin. Simples.

When I was growing up I always liked West Ham but I am so glad that we got the automatic place ahead of them. For the following reasons: 1) Porn dollars shouldn't buy promotion. They've spent so much money this season, whilst in so much debt. 2) Their insistence that Sharp dived when Taylor grabbed him round the throat - the laughable thread on their forum claiming the picture of a hand around his neck was Photoshop'd. And they're still going on about it now. Remind me about how the appeal went on that one guys? 3) Their feeling of entitlement (reminds me a bit of the 'we will walk this league' mentality on here when we went down). 4) The use of parachute payments as a means to spend your way back to the premiership rather than break the fall (not uniquely a West Ham approach though) 5) Sam Allardick. Loves himself. 6) The fact that they perpetrated the biggest fraud of recent years by staying up with illegal players and then just got fined thanks to Sir Trev and others in the FA (pile it on the debt boys, no worries). So, in the words of Big Kev, "I will love it, love it, if they lose in the playoffs".

Something to do with a pro-Nazi rant...

Arguing about a flare being class or rubbish is a bit lame tbh.

Why is this "obvious"? My guess is loaning/buying players is like buying a car, until you've run it in you don't know whether it is right for you (no matter how good it was in the advert/showroom or testdrive.

Nothing is certain except the fact we won't finish 17th. For me West Ham playing on Monday is all upside for them. If we win, then they concentrate on the playoffs, if we lose, game on.

circa 1982 I spent £5 I was given for Christmas on 50 packs of stickers (a waste maybe but at 8 years old I couldn't reach the jazz mags.....) I did get the Derby Country badge which was always one of the better shiny ones.

If you want conspiracy it ain't here and to other fans it will (and should) look like straw clutching. However.... I am surprised that more hasn't been made of the West Ham / Reading loans of Mullins and Henderson. Especially given the 'significant' fees involved keep Pompey in the game and points on the board for our rivals. But, at the end of the day, it is nothing illegal - and Mullins has played a part - but I am certain for them it was a happy by-product of their signings. I do think the emergency loans window is a bit of a joke though (not that we haven't benefited in the past from it) - there's less emergency, more convenience.

Get a grip. It was a balls up. Get over it. Kelvin has saved us many more points than he has lost us this season. Accept the fact we got done by a team who took their chances and move on. Blame won't get us three points. Unless you want Bart in goal for the next match?

I am seriously regretting my Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain full back tattoo....

I've considered this carefully and ranked it with other issues that are bothering me: 1) Escalation of hostilities in North Korea 2) The state of the world economy 3) What I am having for dinner ... Everything else 1905636839210) This.

More to the point, what defines a donkey derby?

Tsssk. Football is a game of opinions but, having said that, mine is the only valid one. Guly is a great player who isn't in great form at the moment. He isn't helped by looking laidback, but he also isn't helped by people getting on his back. Personally if Nigel picks him that is good enough for me. If you look at some of the players that some Saints fans have taken to and others they have turned on, I know who'd I trust. Remember when Kelvin Was the worst player to ever pull on a Saints shirts? Or when that over-rated right back (Polish, longhair, tatts - jesus) was celebrated. Guly was great in the early part of the season. Form is temporary, ability is permanent.

I think this is easy to achieve. All the club need to do is fence off an area at a door in each concourse. This could be paid for by offering smokers season tickets at say a +£50 per season surcharge. This way the sad ******s who can't live for 105minutes without a cigarette can find yet another way to waste their money.

Lock this thread - what are you trying to do man?

I will donate this years shirt, or the anniversary shirt. Surely we could get 11 of them.

Bart isn't as good as Kelvin as has been proven by multiple appearances, not just his one league game this year. Experience makes a big difference to a GK and maybe Bart will mature - granted he needs game time to get that. Every goalkeeper makes (usually very obvious) rickets but if you look at the number of points KD has saved us this year (Leeds alone is a great example) I'd have him over most keepers in the bottom half of the premiership. The one thing that worries me (across the defence as a whole) is overplaying the ball through unnecessary short passes. Many a time we get caught when we 'fanny around' in defence and that kind of thing will be punished at a higher level (if we get there / usual caveats apply). That's not to say it isn't sometimes the right play, just that at times a sensible hoof might be a better option.
