Lambert easily. Thank god he's our player. When he signed it was the most exciting signing for years and for once we've got a player who has lived up to that expectation. I'd guess that every club in this division and most in the Championship would want him - they can't have him.

Conservatives celebrate the fact that they didn't **** up again? Thing is the Tories didn't do very well but they did OK. I doubt they won many swing voters but probably didn't lose many either. If that's success for the Tories then their supporters need a bit of expectation management. I can see a hung parliament and the price for that will be PR. I've got to hand it to Clegg - he's capitalised on the debates and could hold the key to making sure that every vote ( in subsequent elections) does actually count. Quite exciting really.

Probably the last World Cup I got totally into. Not that later ones might not have been good but life gets in the way. I was 18 in 1990 and could watch every game and although I attempted the same in 94 without England in it it wasn't the same. Watched the final in 90 in Majorca in a hotel dominated by Germans so naturally teamed up with some Irish lads and supported Argentina. Happy days.

I've only read the last few posts on this thread but I saw the debate. No one really stood out that much which is what Cameron more than any other needed to do. Compared to the first debate I thought it a bit boring and I'd imagine the non politic geeks will feel the same. Haven't really looked through all of this thread but I get the feeling it's a lot of right wingers banging on about immigration, am I right?

I wouldn't defend them too much - the lad who pleaded guilty, AT, is a spurs fan. He's also a prat. I've no idea about the others though.

There is of course another scenario - the fact that Liberal Democrat policy now that it's examined and given the same crediblity as the other two parties is actually what the public want. You shouldn't kid yourself that the British public want what you want.

Or spelling? But that's a cheap shot. I'd be interested to see what you consider amongst the liberal democrats policies that aren't sensible?

Ah, didn't realise that. It does explain quoting Churchill and in the very same post slagging off people who switch from the Tories to Liberal and vice versa ha ha!

Then vote UKIP if you really must, you've already admitted you'd prefer to do so. After all at least you vote for what you believe in right? It's a matter of principle for you isn't it? Or is immigration ALL you're interested in. That must be quite sad.

How many contradictions do you need? You've already admitted that the BNP is a socialist party (and you're a self confessed right wing tory boy) yet you're having a pop at people you consider as switching from left to right and call them fools? You say it's about compromise in one post and then say it's about principle in another? You say you vote for what you believe in yet choose a racist party over your preferred choice? Without wanting to be demeaning you really don't have much credibility.

Actually a strong BNP vote would have the opposite effect to the one you want. Every political party and the media would decry the BNP as they did when Griffin appeared on question time. It would unite parties and it would also attract people (to other parties) who suddenly realise that if nothing else then their vote would cancel out a bone headed racist vote. The same thing happened in france when apathy saw Le Pen have an unexpectedly large proportion of the vote in the presidential election in 2002.

I disagree with this almost totally. I'd hazard a guess that even if Saints get back into the premiership, win the league, win the FA Cup and the champions league I will never see a better player than Matty. Lambert, if he stays, could and probably will become a great player for us and maybe a legend if he's lucky - if he gets us two promotions then there's not many that could boast that. Matt though was as close as you could get to a one man team and without him we would have been relegated much much earlier.

Don't get me started....poor little fella already has the David Tennant Dr Who outfit but being a ginger looks more like Chris Evans. If I don't get him into football soon then he's a prime candidate for bullying........ Luckily the stickers seem to be working.

Thanks for the tips everyone and you'll be pleased to know it worked a treat. I got three albums in the end one each for the nephew and neice and one for me (clearly they'll need someone to swap with). Best thing was when the 4 year old neice found a Paraguay player and said "red and white! Southampton!" bless her. Oh and not got any swaps so far........

Aren't they trading cards rather than the stickers?

Not sure if this is the best forum to post this but here goes: Does anyone know if the panini 2010 world cup sticker album is on sale yet? According to their website it is but checked Tesco yesterday and couldn't find it. It's not actually for me - it's my latest attempt to get my nephew into football. He's only five but so far shows more interest in sci fi stuff and clearly while there's nothing wrong with this he does need to balance it out with football. I used to love the world cup sticker albums - think my first one was Spain '82.

Can we do that mid game? It's one way to overturn a man down disadvantage though.

Where is he? We'll never win if he doesn't moan....

So people who smoke ONLY die of smoking related diseases? Of course it increases the chance of illness, but not for everyone. So whilst it's sad you know people who smoked who died of smoking related illnesses I'm sure you know people who smoked who died of other causes? I do.

More likely actually. They don't have to file stats for MRSA and other health care acquired illnesses.

Smoking doesn't always damage your health the same as driving cars and doing sport don't either. Surely your point is if it does result in a smoking related illness then treatment is refused? Exactly the same can be applied to driving and participating in sport then? Sent from my poncy phone that will probably give me ear cancer, or cancer of the thumb.

And of course their NI contributions are lowered accordingly. Not only will they not be receiving medical treatment but on average they'll be drawing their pension for less years (if any).

Of course smokers are actually doing non smokers a favour. They massively subsidise the NHS and they die younger. They don't draw pensions for as long and they don't spend years in nursing homes costing £400 quid a week.
