  1. Double sub. Beckford going off!
  2. It could just as easily motivate them to push on more.
  3. Free header for Leeds, over the bar
  4. Bugger. Why couldn't you have posted that 5 minutes earlier nefore I finally accepted defeat and signed up to Saints Player? :mad:
  5. It doesn't work Not for me anyway. Is anybody else having any joy with it?
  6. Still no commentary though
  7. I found this... http://www.streamingan.net/?ida=4939/watch-leeds-united-vs-southampton-live-streaming-online-free-full-video-December-19-2009 Just waiting til KO to find out if it works or not
  8. Indeed. Some scholars believe his birthday is in april, whereas others say september. Nearly all are agreed that it definitely wasn't december 25th. It's just that the christian church didn't like the idea of the world's favourite festival being a pagan one so they hijacked it for themselves.
  9. That was his re-birth (and if you believe that then you are a poor, deluded idiot - but let's not turn this into a theological debate!)
  10. Well that's annoying. I called at about 5:50 to be told that there will be no sales to visiting fans on the day and that the tickets had been taken off sale at SMS so there is now no way I can get a ticket. I had to wait until today when I got paid, I decided not to buy over the phone this morning in case the game got called off cos of the weather, and now I can't go unless I buy a ticket on the day in the Leeds end, which I'm not sure I want to do. Still, I seem to be a curse on the team anyway, the only game I have managed to watch all season is the Brighton game and look what happened there!
  11. I appreciate this may be the worng forum to be making such statements, but yes there are. Especially when you are the only Saints fan in a workplace full of Weds/Utd/Barnsley fans.
  12. Only a small percentage of them did in all fairness.
  13. On the flip side of that though, I recently started a new job and I think it's fair to say that about 90% of the workforce here are white, male between 21 & 40 (yes that includes me) and mostly from Sheffield, Rotherham & Barnsley. Sitting in the canteen at lunchtime, the only conversation you will ever hear is football football football.. Now as much as I enjoy watching Saints, I'm not obsessed with football in general, rarely watch Pl or CL games, and don't really enjoy talking about it all the time. I wish there was something else I could talk about on my lunch break but if I try and start a conversation about anything other than football then I generally get met with blank faces.
  14. 1 to ask 'Would Adolf Hitler have changed lightbulbs?' thus invoking Godwin's Law.
  15. Well, you know the famous phrase... There's a sucker born every minute.
  16. I just called the ticket office to enquire about availability of tickets on the turnstile. The girl said they are currently not sure if the game is even going to go ahead due to the weather but they wuill know by 5pm today if there will be tickets available on the day provided the game doesn't get called off. Just a heads up for anybody planning on travelling on the off-chance of getting a tickety on the day.
  17. Me. I believe that perpetuating the santa claus myth only serves to create a sense of materialism in kids which is not something that the human race should be proud of. Me and some friends have decided that next year we are going to boycott 'Christmas' and instead celebrate the old Pagan winter solstice festival of Yule on the 21st december. It means we can eat and drink loads but won't be obliged to spend stupid amounts of money on other people buying pointless crap they won't ever use. Bah Humbug!
  18. Ah, yes. That well known 'commie' Maggie Thatcher. I remember the dark shroud of rampant socialism that enveloped the UK during her 12 years in charge.
  19. Interesting piece in the Independent today... http://http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/witnesses-for-the-prosecution-how-blair-is-suffering-trial-by-chilcot-1844259.html
  20. Just watched Brüno Really uncomfortable viewing from the very beginning, but I don't think I have laughed as much as that for a very, very long time. Sacha Baron-Cohen must have balls of steel to put himself in some of the situations he finds himself in during this film. If you thought he was pushing his luck in Borat then in this film he has metaphorically flopped his genitals into a hungry lion's mouth and then flicked his gonads with a wet towel. Quite unbelievable that he got away with a lot of what he did, and surely he must have a few fatwas on him by now, but you simply have to admire his dedication to his 'art'. 9/10
  21. Not entirely true. There is an infinite (well, as near as) amount of clean, renewable energy in the earth beneath our feet. The only problem is the astronomical initial cost of tapping into it which makes it non-viable from a commercial aspect. But I guess that is what has put us in the position in which we now find ourselves: profit being placed above everything else - even the future of civilisation as we know it.
  22. Yes you are right. Sorry I got distracted whilst typing that post and it didn't come out quite how I meant it to. However, even though those deaths are not directly attributable to the coalition forces in Iraq, they can be indirectly attributed to the removal of Saddam Hussein which caused all the in-fighting in the first place. Whatever anybody may think about Saddam, events in the country since he was toppled have shown that he was absoultely correct when he claimed that 'the only way to rule Iraq is with an iron fist'.
  23. WhhhhHHHHHOOOOoooooooossshhhhhhhhhhh!
  24. http://http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8397625.stm According to his wife, he was planning on writing a book exposing how the flawed intelligence was grossly over-exaggerated. As far as Blair and his cronies were concerned, he had to be silenced. My immediate reaction when I heard that he had been found dead was that he must have been assassinated as he was the only person who could prove that Blair's reasons for going to war were a lie. I did think at the time that surely, in this day and age, that kind of high-level corruption including the murder of witnesses could never take place in a civilised society, but as I have grown a lot older since then, and subsequently become more cynical, I have nop doubt that that kind of evil exists not only in the world, but in the British government. It makes me sad to realise that, but it is an inescapable truth. I have no doubt that Blair has the blood of Dr Kelly on his hands every bit as much as he does the blood of the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who have died at the hands of coalition forces since 2003. All in my humble opinion, of course. And to think he now calls himself a christian! How does he think he is going to be allowed into heaven when he is nothing more than a war criminal?
