We're already 8 games into a 38 game season and we have 4 points. Now, a couple of wins would change that pretty quickly but we are already a couple of wins behind what's needed and I see nothing about our defence that leads me to believe that we can get organised into a tight-fisted unit that only lets in an average of 0.5 goals per game, let alone a run of clean sheets. I would dearly love to be proved wrong.

Oh good, another crock.

I think it's already too late. It will need one hell of a turn around to start picking up enough points to survive. I'm not saying it's impossible, just improbable. To be honest, I'm not really enjoing this season so far.

At what point on this forum do we think we have a problem

The television money next season is frightening. I can see us doing a Derby. -
So.... you're saying stick with Adkins because we're going to need him next year in the Championship?
-
Er... You can't be offside from a goal kick.
-
He's very important when defending corners.
-
But the last couple of months we were wobbling.
-
Then why is he there?
-
Yes, not surprised but very saddened. You get fed up saying it after a while.
-
Yes, it's all been going wrong for some time going back a couple of months into last season. I think we would struggle in the Championship at the moment.

Even if Scotland votes to stay I think the rest of us should vote too. I'm with you.

I must have saved 70 years of my life by using a MacBook. It seems like more. -

When the Germans invaded France, three panzer divisions were equipped with Skoda tanks which they got from the occupation of the Sudetenland.

I got a MacBook Air a couple of years ago. Turns on and off quickly, rarely has an update, easy to use. -
Migrating from iPhone to Android device

Well, it was all the keyboard shortcuts, I.e. all the underlined letters in the drop-down menus. I didn't like the ribbon and the way that it's items changed dynamically. As I said, I prefer to use the keyboard shortcuts for the menu, especially on my laptops. I think that made me a 'power user' even though I didn't know it. I don't like the way that I am supposed to buy new versions of everything every couple of years. I have several PCs in my business and it's not my responsibility to fun Microsoft's bloatware empire. I paid hundreds of pounds for these programs and if they're full of bugs then I expect Microsoft to fix them, not expect me to buy a new load with a whole new load of bugs. -

It's slow to start, slow to run and slow to shut down. Every time I turn on the PC I get a constant stream of updates, then I'm told to restart the PC. I don't like the concept of dlls or the registry, everything should be stored with the program itself. Every few months you have to re-install it and clean out all the sludge. I don't like GUIs, I use the keyboard wherever possible. Later versions of Office have got rid of (or hidden deeply) the keyboard shortcuts. That'll do for now. -

I'm looking at this too. I've had 3 iPhones and one is due an upgrade so I can get a new phone just by signing up for another couple of years. An iPhone 4S or an S3 are effectively free. I'm fed up with iTunes and I hate anything Windows with a pathological vengeance. I might go or the S3 and pass one of the iPhones down to one of the grandchildren. -
United States is in Philadelphia: http://www.ss-united-states.com/i2.html One of her propellers is in a corner of a yard up a side street opposite the USS Intrepid in Manhattan. The France (later Norway) was eventually scrapped in 2008.
