@bigadamsport: #saintsfc start day without 6 senior players - likely to be 7 by kick-off with Tadic struggling & Bertrand may need a fitness test!

Sounds like a good party trick

No, missing a debt reduction target is not a "catastrophic failure... Not bothering to try would have been though.....

I'm confused (easily done)....of course, until the "deficit" is eliminated, "debt" will continue to increase. That's simple economics/mathematics. But, surely, endeavours to eliminate the "deficit" is desirable? The alternative being that borrowing (aka "the debt") increases forever more....

Curiously, different shorts and socks in the photo shoot....

4.5 years......roughly the same time it took to turnaround a certain bankrupt south coast football team....

"Only"? Did you not see the size of the hole that Labour left behind to climb out of?

Thread closed. Thanks to everyone for their participation. I'll start another one up in 5 years or so once Labour have buggered things up again. http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/jan/16/imf-chief-hails-uk-economic-recovery

Good point. I hadn't considered that. I guess that means that Sky will foot the bill for it then.

Having lost 4 nil, Maybe the newcastle players complained about it? Dunno, just a guess.

Nice

Sticking my neck out here somewhat but I can only see a 0-0 draw for this one. Decent away point.

Get those two chaps on the first flight to Newcastle please Mr Koeman

Seager misses a sitter!!!! (Great build up play from Sims and Flanagan)

Ref gives the foul where Sims landed not where the foul was committed (i.e. in the box)

Gooooooaaaaalllllll!!!!! Great initial shot from Seager

Great play by McQueen there

Earlobe scanner has come back with "possible match"

Agreed. I'm not getting the "we weren't that great" perspective from some. IMO it was a masterclass in how a premier league team should have dealt with the opposition and conditions for a mid-week away cup replay that is sandwiched between two tricky long distance away games in the league. Ok, so we might have won by two or three if we'd been more ruthless in and around their box, but when we're playing in 2nd gear (no doubt under instruction from RK) we're never going to be over committed or clinical in attack. A professional job done.
