^This. What do people take this forum for? Some kind of socialist benevolent fund? Pay yer money and join in the capitalist crusade. Supply and demand. (FFS)

Ok, ok....calm down ... FFS ;-)

There was a BBC documentary about 6 months ago - a Robert Peston effort IIRC - where he attempted to trace back the uncontrollable rise of capitalism and the conclusion was that it all started with the communists in China (late 60s / early 70s I think) and their insatiable desire to out manoeuvre western economies via an extortionately cheap labour market. I've probably paraphrased that badly but, it was an interesting view on the whole "how did it come about" debate.

So, on that logic, you'll be buying a Reading season ticket instead of a Saints one then...? They are cheaper after all and you'll get to see a similar quality of football...or maybe some choices are just down to good old fashioned subjective human preference rather than science or logic... ;-)

Ryanair or a decent airline....?

I've an iPad and it's above average at worst. Good game. INext...

Keep up people FFS....that smart Trousers chap spotted the Beeb had updated their tables 4 days ago and posted it here: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showpost.php?p=1383915 As you were...

The great British public love nothing more than a good old moan about stuff so this will no doubt satisfy our collective craving for something to vent our spleen over...

Indeed. But whichever party had been in opposition at the time you can bet they would have endeavoured to have laid a portion of the blame the other party....

What are those figures as a percentage of the existing numbers? Cheers

Are people suggesting that if this had happened on the Tory's watch then Labourites wouldn't be banging on about how badly they had handled the situation? Both 'sides' are as bad as eachother IMO.

Indeed. The very same inflated debt that is now being challenged under CVA 2 in order to reduce HMRC's stake even further...funny old game

I guess we'd revert to a Saints vs Arsenal 90 min game in a worst case scenario?

Vince Cable

And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is why Labour gave Fred Goodwin a knighthood...

@TomCoull: @MrSimonWilliams (left) and @JFBLucas (right) are in a top secret conference call. Discussing what? http://t.co/lHZQAUOY @MrSimonWilliams: @JFBLucas @TomCoull it's a secret.. sshh.. shut up #stonecutters

Keep your inconvenient truths to yourself FFS! ;-)

Twizzlers

As you say, strange that such a potentially important manoeuvre is tucked away at the end of a 'football round-up' column. Here it is loud and clear for anyone who hasn't clicked on the link: "Meanwhile, administration-hit Portsmouth are believed to have applied to join the Blue Square set-up in case their rescue proposals fail." I think many of us had assumed they would have been working on a 'plan B' behind the scenes but this is the first time I've seen it mooted in the national press.

@pn_neil_allen: RT @TheRealSulaiman: I beleive the administrator of #pompey should call for a meeting between the PST, Chinrai and all other creditors to work for the PST Bid

It's OK.... He's pretending to use the spelling skills of your average Pompey supporter for comical effect :-)

P.s. and where's my percentage for badgering them on Twitter and Facebook for you...? ;-))

Nice one, but why only a partial settlement (thus far)? Either the car was damaged or it wasn't. Shirley?
