The LD vote was on a par with the previous general election, when no Brown effect was in play so I am not sure your assumption is that sound. Additionally you make the same mistake as the media, that all of the population is either Labour or Tory and only votes for A N Other party as some sort of protest. I do agree that Clegg in taking the (right) decision for the country has jeopardised the electoral appeal of the LDs.

The art of Sloe Gin making has been a family tradition for as long as I can remember and it is our first drink on Christmas day! Even when I was away at Christmas fighting for Queen and Country my family ensured I received my "Tot". There is no secret recipe the one above will produce the right effect, turning the bottle ever day is important, if you would like a more full bodied result use Demerara Sugar. The need for a frost can be replecated by freezing the sloes for 24 hours. I shall be out this weekend gathering in the harvest.

Fortunately I am sure there are more Americana’s who think she and her absurd TEA party are an embarrassment to their nation and so she will not get voted in. I had dinner with a US colleague last week and he is very happy with Palin as he believes it will benefit Obhama and improve his chance of a 2nd term.

It only needs one quote to prove your point, the child is obviously not fully in control of his faculties.

If the statement above reference Holloway is true I for one would be very happy if he still in the running and gets the job.

You did have choice, neither me nor my mates o a beating from the police or got into a fight with other fans. P*ss poor excuse for unacceptable behaviour.

Very interesting and not unexpected, NC is doing a job namely to get SFC back in prem. We all knew things at SMS needed changing, as they the old saying goes you cant make an omelette without breaking eggs. We must let him get on with it, he will make mistakes and get things wrong form time to time as long as he learns from these he will continue to get my support.

The cherries chairmans statement is for home consumption, if Howe was not interested why agree to the interview, and I don't accept the "lots of people go for interviews with no intention of taking the job" argument in this instance, they don't do it in the full glare of there current bosses and customers. It was public knowledge that Howe was a candidate, as he has not got the job he has to go back and make his peace with the cherries fans the chairman is just easing the way and ****ing a snoop at his much larger near neighbour. After all football is only a game.

How relevant it is I don't know, but the Scunny Chairman was a hockey player when younger, make of it what you will!!

1966 - 73 Lower West Milton end 1973 1980 Milton End 1980 - 1989 various mainly East and archers 1990 - 2001 only an occasional vistor so wherever I could get a ticket.

So the OS statement was pretty accurate, seems the Scunny head honcho was making a last ditch attempot to keep his man, I dont blame him.

I agree the photography policy is somewhat bizarre and has led to some humour, hardly laughing stock material tough.

What a ridiculous post, we are not a laughing stock, only in the minds of some of our own fans, my Scunny supporting colleague certainly isn't laughing at us and the vast majority of the country are oblivious to our managerial situation. Also if we were then we would not have had in excess of 30 applicants, so remind me why can't you wear Saints colours in public?

hardly a rumour more fantasy

Applicants do not equal interviews, I doubt they will interview or have interviewed more than 6 candidates, easily achievable over a couple of days. Your depression is partly a result of the current lack of hard facts but it seems also due to your own preference to always add negativity to unfounded rumours; aka your own interpretation of the widely reported high volume of interest in the post turned into ‘Maybe closer to the truth is that they had only three applicants’.

Matching a manager to a club is and art not a science, good previous performance may provide a degree of comfort but guarantees nothing. As we saw with WGS and much earlier Lawrie Mac the 2 best managerial appointments at SFC in my time have not initially had the WOW factor. I’m sure the Bristol Shi8y fans thought Steve Copple had a bit of wow for them, and look how that turned out. I sometimes wonder if the only reason some want a big name is about short term national or indeed international attention and some weird bragging position.

Far more to Adkins than being an ex physio. His CV shows he is real football man, and has made his name by delivering in difficult circumstances.

Completely agree with your first 8 words, that’s why I do not watch it and have no opinion on any particular character. You obviously torture yourself by watching it. Whilst I detest the programme I understand that several million licence payers do enjoy it and I am sure they do not believe it is a waste of money. Each to his own, use the off button or choose one of the other channels you have access to.

Another tiny piece of toss.

Very well said.

We are neither cursed nor Sh@te. But we can certainly do a lot better.

I am keeping myself sane by believing that the that the ML takeover was the start and that it would not all be fixed in a season. All managers are a gamble, AP was a good choice at the time and certainly did well last season, however as has been pointed out he presided over a shambles of a pre season. I am willing to accept this short term pain for the long term gain. Putting SFC back together after the double relegation, administration and the managerial and chairman revolving door was never going to be easy.

Both goals down to Fonte he has been sh**te

There is no spirit, they pass it around but don't know what to do with it, Fonte is having a mare
