We have an 18 year old - the England under 19 captain...

Stop it Turkish! It is hard to find myself agreeing with you!

The reasons you stated...

They don't have to be English to count as "home grown", they can be any nationality.

Saints will have to pay players more than £30k p/w to move up a level. They already have players on more than that anyway.

This forum is for Saints news, the Pompey thread in the lounge forum is for us to laugh at the Skates. That doesn't mean it is seen as a "bad thing", just that these forums are organised so they don't become a mess and have all subjects in the same forum. It is better if topics are separated so you can find them more easily.

That is a bizarre way to look at it. A superb cross knocked down by a player and then someone else has a shot that goes in wouldn't could as an assist for the original crosser of the ball. Nor would a superb cross that leads to an effort on goal or a chance for an effort on goal. Judge their crossing on its own merit of being a good cross or not, not on if someone puts the ball in the net afterwards. Shaw and Clyne have both put in some superb crosses this season on numerous occasions.

Really? Shaw in particular is a great crosser of the ball.

The article tells you.

Lallana has still scored more league goals this season than Danny Welbeck. If your basis for international recognition for attacking players is solely goals, what about Jay Rodriguez and Jason Puncheon? They have outscored Welbeck and are both close to Sturridge.

Jack Cork? Adam Lallana?

Don't mock it... Exhibit A Exhibit B http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Everton-using-Football-Manager-computer-game-article33798.html Plus numerous other examples of the professional game using it.

I wasn't arguing, just adding to what you said.

His "race" is also a human created concept that has no clear boundaries in genetics.

Says "Mr Gimp"... Maybe not the right thread for it, but it is an interesting discussion to have.

I think you have misunderstood what I've said. You won't find many geneticists that disagree with me. What genetic "race" for example is Ryan Giggs? His paternal Grandfather was from Sierra Leone. Is Giggs "mixed race", "caucasian" or "black" genetically then? What if it was his great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather etc etc that was from Sierra Leone, how far back to you need to go for it no longer to be "mixed race"? Where do you draw the line for each race? 1/4th, 1/8th, 1/16th, 1/32nd, 1/64th, 1/128th etc etc? Ask a geneticist and they will tell you the same, "race" is a human created concept and labelling of people it has no connection to genetics as the lines between peoples genetic background are so blurred. I even quoted one earlier...

So where do you draw the line for each race? Everyone in the world is of mixed heritage and we all share common ancestors. Race is a human created concept as Dr Alan R. Templeton, professor of biology at Washington University explains... "Race is a real cultural, political and economic concept in society, but it is not a biological concept, and that unfortunately is what many people wrongfully consider to be the essence of race in humans -- genetic differences"

Genetically there is no such thing as "race".

Their big problem is they don't own it, where as Southampton whilst in admin had St Mary's, Staplewood training ground, the academy and Jackson's farm making them more attractive for an owner like Liebherr.

Discussing a statement a previous poster made in a thread is joining in a discussion isn't it?

Saints didn't try using a "trick", Southampton's holding company was set up 7 years before the Football League's rules on points deductions for insolvency events were written. You can't set out to use a trick for something that won't exist for 7 years into the future. The Football League left a loophole open which Southampton should have been left without a deduction, however the Football League acted as they wished. - Legally Southampton football club has never been in admin and Mark Fry wasn't the administrator for the football club, nor did the football club need a CVA as it was never in admin. - Pompey on the other hand had BOTH the holding company and football club legally in administration and they are planning to dilute a failed CVA with a new CVA.

I'm not saying it isn't true, I think he probably is on that kind of money. Just it is still a rumour as we don't actually have anything concrete as to what his wage is.

It is, unless you have a copy of his payslip.
