Whitey Grandad

You mean Burnley and QPR beating Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal and possibly Liverpool and Tottenham but not many others? I suppose that might work.

It all depends on your standpoint. We're back where we started, aren't we?

It's a moot point the extent to which the intentions of the Conservative section of the government have been restrained by the LibDems.

I find it very disappointing that a thread about the disappearance of a poor little girl should descend into personal attacks.

In the long term isn't it wins for Saints and draws for everyone else?

Just a gentle reminder... This is a coalition government, not a Conservative one.

You are wise to wait. Nobody has been proved wrong or right yet.

'Underwriting', not quite the same thing but yes, they committed that as well.

I'm with you all the way. Any chance of finding some Spanish commentary?

Only if we get relegated with them?

There are far too many games to go for other teams' results to make any difference to us at this stage. All that matters is that we keep winning.

Expanding from a lower base. It's still not back to where it was pre-recession.

It was all spent by the previous administrations. Now it has to be paid for.

It will take a lifetime or two to recover from the incompetence of Buffoon Brown.

Own goal innit. Not polite to celebrate when you haven't scored it yourself. It was a beautiful strike so it was only fair to applaud the quality of the finish.

A Poshturing. From a comment on the radio saying it was like an entry in Victoria Beckham's diary: Ate nothing

I went down there this evening to watch them. It was all Reading first half and they smacked the crossbar but a quick burst at the start of the second half and it was all over. Bloody hell though, the football's nothing like Premier League standard.

My comment is true whatever occurred.

And the Champions League Final the year after!

It's early days yet. Where do you think the success of the top teams has come from over the last 10 years or so, I don't think it was from better coaching. Where were Chelsea until Abramovich started bankrolling them?

Too tired??? If that were my child there's no way that I could sleep that night and I would have to do something.

What do we have to do to get the remaining £4m of add-ons?

The amount of money received was ample compensation and virtually guaranteed success in the medium term at least.

I just have - after much juggling to get past all the padding - and it's not even clear if there is any contact, but it is totally irrelevant whether or not there has been any contact despite what all the commendators and pundits might tell you. It's not a foul to touch another player and it may be a foul even if you don't. It's not enough for a forward to run at another player and then touch them with his toe and go flying in a spectacular attempt to convince the referee that there has been a foul. Many referees will expect the attacker to make some genuine attempt to avoid the other player. Was Forster's touch (if any) enough to send a 6 foot athlete into a somersault? Had Fletcher hurdled Forster would he have reached the ball? Was he tripped or did he trip over? These are all the questions that have to be considered before reaching a decision. Forster's position was not unnatural for a goalkeeper trying to block a forward's shot. Some might have given it, others wouldn't. On this occasion we had the benefit of the doubt. All that you can ask of a referee is that he has consistent levels throughout the game of what constitutes a foul.

Just think how bad it would have been if they hadn't taken the money-saving measures.
