Once you've paid your Lady Goddiver, I'll be happy to answer a few questions on this. This book will be good for research: Steaming In - Colin Ward. Easily the best book of it's time. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Steaming-Colin-Ward/dp/0743495500 Also, as you're probably a pup. Watch this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/I-D-DVD-Reece-Dinsdale/dp/B00004W4H5/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1302881265&sr=8-2 Whilst it won't help with your dissertation, it is a decent film on the subject.

'And man, I got a double-super buzz. Here I was a huffing a-airplane glue in a sandwich bag. Y'know just breathing it all into to my lungs and gettin' high, and then I'd take me a hit of that gas, right after a huge hit - man, you talkin' 'bout a warped mind? I got one.'

Signed up for this. Really hope it goes ahead!

Adele? (Meant to quote this before..)

Adele?

I've heard Attilio Lombardo owns a Kindle. True story.

Almost as good as behind us. Imbecile 1: Fooks sake Hammond, you're crap Imbecile 2: I think that's Seabourne Imbecile 1: Where's Martin? Imbecile 2: Dunno. Imbecile 1: He should be playing. D'oh. Also, the other week it was: Imbecile 1: Who's the right back? Imbecile 2: Butterfield. Imbecile 3: Oh yeah, Danny Butterfield, he's only a young nipper, 19/20, he's doing well. Quality fans.

Nope. N'Dululu = 8pts Funk = 11pts :-)

Almost as funny as someone buying shares in an obvious dead-duck.

If there's a better fans site than that, I'd like to see it! Quality style and content. Well worth a look if you want to see how it should be done. If only more people paid their fiver subscription, the owners of this site might be able to come up with something similar - FFS.

HMV can only blame themselves for their downfall. They have failed to recognise the direction of the market, which started changing 10 years ago as Amazon and other online companies like CD Wow grew in prominence. As soon as these companies started taking their market share they should have joined the online market - properly. Their own online version is pants, and isn't advertised nearly enough. Factor in as mentioned above, the price of CD's - which are a joke, unless it's the most recent X-Factor album. They also should have thought about the digital market a lot more, and have been overtaken by Apple in this respect. I would really hate HMV to go, as like many others, it's a symbol of my youth, growing up and my adult life. It would feel like a little erosion of your life, more than Woolies but less than Fosters :-) (which funnily enough was where HMV is now!). BUT, it really is their own fault. Woeful attention shown to how the market was moving, and now it's probably too late.

Thing is, even if we were in the Prem we'd be losing our best players. If teams like Villa & Everton can't hold onto their players because they want to be paid more and have the 'prospect' of European football, what chance would we realistically have? Even when we were an established side in the Prem, finished 8th and got to the Cup Final - we still lost Bridge to Chelsea. It is just the order of the food-chain. We are just even lower down than we used to be. As an a-side point. These 'Top Predictions for the Future' rarely turn out that way. I remember years ago a lad called Steven Schumacher who was an Everton youngster was going to be running England's midfield - he's currently playing for Bury, having made most of his appearances for Bradford City. There must be countless other examples..

The Apprentice 2010 Smash-o-meter: 1) Liz: By quite a clear margin. 2) Laura: Very nice and looked even better with teeth sorted out. 3) Stella: Bet she takes it up the garry. 4) Joanna: Definitely worth a squirt. 5) Paloma: Looks like she could suck a golfball through a garden hose. 6) Sandeesh: Amazing eyes. 7) Melissa: Filth, would take it in the gob for fives. Joy: Mousse.

Why the fook has the Guly thread moved into here? Have some sense Mods. It's a current player. I don't want to have to trawl through a thread of crap on the off-chance there might be something of interest...

Why would Newcastle want an untried P'ship target man, when they have Carroll who's doing a fantastic job, Amoebi as back-up and even Best who has played at a higher level? Lallana is the one most likely to go. Pardew's personal opinion was that he could play in the P'ship. So if anyone is to go, it would be him (depending whether he wants to or not..).

I have been made aware that these t-shirts will be going to a number of schools in Kenya, as dictated to by the Saints Foundation. Maybe the OP should know apologise, or would he rather that geunine needy kids go without? Honestly, it's a joke. Kids get free tickets and people still moan. Just buy your kid a t-shirt FFS and stop bothering the forum with petty, self-indulgent gripes.

You bunch of puffs. Why can't you go bare chested, like those proper hard nuts from the Toon?

I really really hope everyone has street parties. I was too young to appreciate what was going on in 1981. I tell you one thing, Revolution Saint will be having the biggest party in Soton. There'll be more bunting than you can shake a stick at! I bet he's planning it as I speak... Oh, where and when can I start buying some commemorative tat? I'm sure the NOTW magazine will start selling some tacky plates - they'll be worth a fortune in years to come.

Whilst it is good news they are free. They were absolutely fookin' stupid or mental to be where they were. It has been well documented for years how bad it is there. Mental.

Agreed. This is nonsense made up by bitter failees...

I can confirm that Dewsbury is full of nutters. My brother lives in Huddersfield and is a paramedic, he had a brick thrown at his ambulance windscreen while 'blue lighting' at 60 mph in Dewsbury. You will all also remember the Shannon Matthews debacle, well she lived there. I have another story from a copper, but I'm not going to repeat it, as I'm likely to get banned... Northern Monkeys* * I hope no primates are offended by my post

Lit up a dour game yesterday. Hope we get to see him play for at least a few seasons established in the 1st team, does look like an excellent prospect. Incidentally, I have chant for him: Oooh, Alex Chamber-lain His Dad was a skate But, his son's a Saint! To the tune of Crouchie, Crouchie... Wonder if that'll get off the ground?!

This is best quote I've seen so far from Osbourne: 16 Families! I'm no Tory, I'm lefty leaning and do think people who NEED help - should get it. However, the system has been fooked right up and people are taking p^ss big time. The system and also the ethos around benefits has to change. Benefits should be an absolute last resort. People should start taking more responsibility for themselves (where they can) and people should not EXPECT the Gov just to look after them. As an example, someone I know, was giving Job Seekers allowance (or whatever it's termed) for months having just left college with multiple A* at GCSES and 2 A's and B at A-Level. These type of people, I'd say 'sorry, you can find a job easily - no benefits I'm afraid'. I saw an article on the Guardian how a young single Mother of 3, was moaning because she needed a 4 bedroomed house, so they could have a room each! WTF! Be grateful the council found you anywhere to live. Where has this expectation of deserving something for absolutely nothing, come from??

If we're loaning out fringe players to a side above us, I think it just highlights the strength of our squad (particularly in defence). He's never going to start ahead of Harding and Dickson, although I think he is decent player with a decent (but not amazing) pro career ahead of him. Unfortunately, this also only highlights how poor our current league position is. Certainly in comparison to teams like B'mouth and Brighton, who've spent a fraction of what we have in fees and wages. On the flip-side, it is also a cause for optimism - I'm hoping that NA can consistently get the best out of this group of players. We should have no problem get promoted if he does...

You'll get clamped if you park at SSU. I work there and a notice has just been put up about parking at w/ends. Not worth the £150.00 it'll cost ya...
