Love reading this thread. As someone else said, it's the reason I don't pay my £5, if I did I'd have been wasting hours on it. For my contribution MLG and Trousers talking total sense about 50 other posters are ridiculing them with what I'd like to call total ******** but is in reality more likely a total inability to accept any level of reasoning outside of a pre-conceived idea illogically formed in their own tiny minds. Then again they could all be just taking the **** with friendly banter http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/never-argue-with-stupid-people.jpg[/img

This has always been my argument. EU laws cover employment so no restriction can be put on the number of EU citizens employed. But a competition can state than x number of players on the field at any one time must be home grown/of a certain age/whatever rules it likes. This, by it's nature, would result in clubs employing more home grown players whilst not restricting the number of or discriminating against players from other EU countries. They'd be free to employ as many as they like but as most would be unavailable to take part on match days then they wouldn't bother.

Felt physically sick just watching that. my first reaction when watching any of these videos is "Why?" I understand enjoying an adrenalin rush and all that, but that is just ignoring every safety precaution going. Do these guys have a total disregard to their own survival? Having said that, I've yet to see a report of anyone falling from any of these climbs

Hope someone is keeping score. Did anyone have Shirley Temple? (had no idea she was still alive)

Look closer. They're not ice cream vans. That's the transport fleet of the Pompey Travel Club

Does it say they both have to be scored in the same game?

He is democratically elected.

The latest issue of FourFourTwo has an article about terrace chants. It gives us a mention. ... "Also around this time (1895) fans of some clubs developed chants known as 'whispers'- although they were more like war cries. One of the most famous was the Southampton Whisper, an ear-splitting yell of 'Yi! Yi! Yi!' " Anyone ever heard of this? And who wants to be first to resurrect it on Saturday?

I am surprised by that. Can't say I'm not pleased though

He's made the common mistake of assuming that they would have been planning that far ahead. 3 years? Anything beyond the next 3 games is just a bonus.

Good but not so thumbs-uppy. 20/1 squad, 66/1 starts first game on SkyBet NOW.

Good point, but to be fair, at the time we were for sale I doubt any financial institution would have lent 14p let alone £14m to buy a 3rd division football club. His only option was to find someone with the readies available.

Going slightly off thread but if the club can make £25 on a £35 cover price suggesting you only charge them £10 for it, why aren't you selling them yourselves on Amazon at say £19.99 and make yourselves a tenner a copy (less amazon expenses) more than if it sold in club shop. At that price I'd have clicked the buy with one click button without hesitating, when I saw one in Waterstones at £35 I didn't even look inside.I doubt I'm the only one.

How come MLT hasn't linked to THIS STORY from only a week ago to back up his claim.? Having said that, they have shown a bit more interest in the Woolston site than that story makes out. And Dalian Wanda are into football, they sponsor the Chinese league. And they are investing heavily in the UK. Who knows, maybe MLT got it right accidentally

What he said last May made sense then, he hadn't been here long and was to be fair still finding his feet both on and off the pitch. Now he's settled why would he want to go now?

Oi - he follows my daughter

Should .... but looks like they'll have to be quick off the mark. If I understand it right a cyclist turning right off the bridge towards the stadium has to wait in the blue box at 7o'clock position? Then proceed when lights are green from Saltmarsh Rd and - unless it's 4 way lights which is going to cause massive tailbacks again - Albert Rd North. Any dawdling and they're in the way of right turning green light traffic. Same applies for any right turn from all 4 directions. Maybe there will be a green cyclist light for a few seconds before the cars get a green, safe but again extending delays. And what are the 4 white rectangles?

Here's what they are doing. Scroll down to the "How the junction will work" description. Someone tell me how that isn't a recipe for disaster !

Just finished reading Rollover - on kindle for those who were waiting - great read, decent plot with some good twists. A book I'd recommend reading, the many local references make it very easy to picture certain scenes in your mind and add an extra element of interest.

Interesting article. I've read GLS's view on this before but not in that much detail. it must have been hell for him to deal with, but I think it was the fact that everyone knew he WASN'T gay and it annoyed him that he got so much stick for it. It was clear that it riled him and in a dressing room situation team-mates will always look for the chink in the armour for their ****-taking and opponents will look for it for winding up purposes. I'd hazard a guess that instead of getting angry he'd thrown it back at them by turning up for training in a dress one day for a joke that would have been the end of it. Most people - even footballers know where to draw the line and I'm sure if he - or any other player - had been openly gay - he wouldn't have got a fraction of the stick that he did get. Interesting that he says the abuse generally dropped off after the Fowler incident, probably because most - players and fans alike - could see that that was a step too far.

Perfect description, that's the one. Not Dodd at all then. And seeing that annoyingly edited Swindon game video above pretty sure that was the right game.

You could well be right there, Dodd and Kenna not Benali. Pretty sure it was an evening game as well.

Anyone remember a funny little dance routine between Dodd and (I think) Benali performed after a goal at The Dell. Can't remember match. Seemed to involve some mutual finger dancing. Any video of it out there?
