In some ways I hope that Clattenburg does get appointed to a game at St Marys soon. Can you imagine his reception?

We don't know that they didn't, do we? Has it? Let's wait and see...

The important word here is 'comparative'. If you are going to use a definition of poverty which is based on a fraction of the median national income then by definition 'ye have the poor always with you'. Of course it isn't, I exaggerate for dramatic effect. Your friends would say that, wouldn't they.

Hmm... just this one website?

It might be your browser. Try typing in a particular page such as http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/tickets/ and navigating from there.

Closed until the next club complains.

Are you really, in all honesty, with a straight face, trying to say that children in the UK today are poor? If so, then you haven't been around enough.

No, don't agree myself. You won't see many Premiership keepers beaten at their near post as often or as easily as our Kelvin and their third actually landed about two yards off the goal line.

Absolutely. Always maintain a healthy scepticism and you won't go far wrong. What, are estate agents not a valid representative member of modern British society then?

Those are purely subjective figure. Child poverty? Give me a break. A child in poverty these days is one who doesn't have their own bedroom, television, Xbox, mobile phone... Like many others, when I was young we had a toilet at the bottom of the garden. We're not going to go through all of these are we? We really don't have the time...

Too late, people will believe what they want to believe, the truth has no part in it.

Isn't it a good thing that food banks are accessible? I can't be bothered to counter them all because many are completely fatuous but #98 seems like a good thing and how can you blame Cameron for #100? #10 - Corporation Tax, every year has been higher than the last year of Labour. #11 - 'High Earners Tax Cut by 10%' - Tut, Tut. A cut from 50% to 40% is a reduction of 20%, not 10%. This is a good thing resulting in increased revenue. Who put it up to 50%? #13 - removal of the empty bedroom subsidy, and quite right too. #16 - What's wrong with that? Saving money taken from hard-working citizens! #30 - encouraging businesses to hire more people Only 'failures' if you don't like the policies.

You would need years of indoctrination and red-tinted glasses to describe these as 'failures'. A lot of them look like bloody good ideas to me.

Prutton and Jimmy's daughter? Who does she play for?

Fill the mines with Romanians?

Same again, please.

I remember Mike Riley's first game at the top, an evening game away to Leicester. He knew he would be under the spotlight and ignored an obvious foul on us and Leicester ran into our penalty area and he gave them a penalty when the ball was blasted straight into MLT's face from about two yards. We always used to get newly appointed referees in low-key away games.

What have I done to upset you? Did I ref a game you were in or something?

Home draws are always a good thing. It was strange watching the draw when they showed the shot from underneath the bowl. I could see our number 12 sitting in the middle and I was willing them to pick it out first.

Pretty much a regular, I believe. Suspended on Boxing Day for reaching five yellows. http://www.leytonorient-mad.co.uk/leyton_orient/player/season_145/lloyd_james_45150/index.shtml

Do you live near Nottingham?

Any chance it'll be on TV?

Yeovil crap enough for you?
