Crab Lungs

John Terry is Sergio Aguero's wife.

The worst thing about this sorry mess for me is that not one ex-director or player has put their hand in their pockets and paid off the smaller amounts. Sickening. Just goes to show you where the real "fault" lies and who the morally bankrupt ones are. Fair play to the fans... but I do wish they'd "gotten" the situation a bit earlier than they did...

I can't deny this is inspired by Guided Missle's sentiments, it is. However, I'm afraid though this isn't another 'call to arms' to support our friends down the road. This is a small reflection on the past twelve months. Well, I have to say it has been thoroughly enjoyable to have a fanbase almost entirely pulling in the right direction. Of course, having a multi-billionaire owner and shrewd chairman helps, as does as an astute and competent manager. We've been blessed on all accounts. Though this is my tribute to the fans. The 50,000 fans who mobilized themselves for the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, the fans who continued to attend in their droves despite our rather depressive league status. The ones who have dedicated their time, money and support to follow Southampton around England's backwaters. We don't and have never claimed to be the best fans in the world but credit where it is undoubtedly due - and it is. Despite my personal conflicts and differences with some on this board over the previous regime I am immensely proud to be a Saints fan. It's a refreshing change to talk about the squad, tactics and transfers as opposed to directors, finance and the red-cheeked one. It's nice to scroll the board and read of hope and anticipation instead of discontent and despair. It's so nice to have more than a semblance of unity, finally. We've all played our part (me not so much, I've been out of the country so consider me an ex-ex-pat!) but I'm back now and I cannot wait for the new season already. The most exciting thing is I believe our journey and ascent is only just beginning! I don't even know why I wrote this; I just felt an overbearing sense of contentment and happiness with what we've achieved and how good our fans have been this season, even though I could only participate and view from sunnier climbs abroad. So, I doff my hat to all Saints fans - who in essence, have acted with integrity and respectability during difficult times. You didn't p1ss and moan about punishments and if you did, you got over it pretty quick and set about concentrating your efforts positively. The blue few have a lot to learn from us. We're now getting our just desserts, so to speak. Like I said... I think good times are only just beginning

Why on earth is it being alluded to that sinking a warship of an enemy as unethical? F()cking hell - it could have been going skywards for all I care, it was still a part of a hostile enemies forces. Would they afforded us the same compassion? So.. what do people suggest? We let it get away? Then it comes back and inflicts heavy losses on our own forces but we all breathe a sigh of relief because at least we done the 'morally correct thing?' "Hey, that Belgrano just sunk one of ours but hey, at least we didn't sink it when we had the chance, that would have been wrong, so wrong - gotta play by the rules, old boy!... anyone for an empanada?"

Hence why they should be shut down. Their fans are the most delusional in the UK, if not the world.

For someone so divisive to call for unity :-o I understamd your reasoning though, of course. However, for personal reasons, I'd rather the absolute worst happens to them.

Best English song I found, lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqG6lY9XGb8

He actually seems quite popular amongst some of the members... I wonder if there is a few of them sat in that colourless, stale room thinking "I wish I could stand up and say what he's saying, do what he's doing"...

"none of them understand the wider issues"

Yes, they tried the same with Nick Griffin. Lambast the outspoken with the same kind of scandals that get us all in a tizz over the big 3 parties and suddenly Lab/Lib/Con don't seem such a bad thing after all.. I think they are intent on people having a 'best of a bad bunch' outlook

Thats exactly why I like him - like you say, we could do with fewer careerists. Here is a guy who seems to genuinely care for the welfare - and he's angry about the way people do get mistreated. Angry, but articulate. I just wish a few more people 'knew' about him!

LOL The van Rompuy one is my all time favourite rant, for obvious reasons.. I may be being a little politically naive, but what is the possibility of Nigel Farage appealing to the British public more IF, he was, say, a leader with a similar powerbase to the big three?

Nigel Farage is awesome. Absolutely awesome.

What most people say on here is absoultely correct - don't put yourself in a position to 'fabricate' a few months more experience at a job; it's quite a considerable blag. At least if you stick to your original (and truthful!) CV you'll be able to recount your history without too much trouble :-)

BNP aren't kitting everyone out on Hugo Boss, are they? Blimey...

What an absolute ****:

At least local tarmaccers are getting the opportunity to tout for business. Should be good for the economy... if only it wasn't all cash in hand. http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/custompages/custompage.aspx?pageid=81479

I concur. Whatever was selectively mentioned, the point still remains - Portsmouth is a cesspit of a football club.

Ooooh, another one enjoying Hull's situation: Classy fans. I don't car if its hypocritical to want the Skates to go bust - they are a symbolism of everything wrong with football, moreso than Hull. Die Skates, die.

I've been looking around a few of their boards... still a considerable amount absolutely stonewall-convinced that they're being unfairly treated.

Goddamn, looking at that, I think you're spot on!

Judging by their own finances over the past few seasons, this could be a possibility in every sense of the word

Brilliant post and I absolutely agree. I've just got this horrible, nagging feeling they will come up smelling of roses come August...

What a special group of fans.
