Lol. No one has banned blackboards.

I hope I never meet these people. I don't think we would get along...

Whilst I disagree with this particular case, that comparison is just nuts.

People from Brighton love acting like drama queens.

This is a momentous day...

Thanks for that interesting article. Particularly this bit: Also it seems to be suggesting that the term wog as an offensive term for black people was coined after golliwog had been invented.

Except we have been dropping for about the last month. The loss to villa was extremely disheartening.

Yep agree with you here. Golliwogs are not racist and were still around in the 90s before they decided they were unacceptable.

We haven't had injuries like we have now.

Lower mid table it is then.

I've amassed a huge library of games but I don't have the machine to play them! I'm considering the steambox for next year but it's dependent on price.

The whole pregnancy thing was a dumb idea in the first place.

Yep pretty much agree with that and forming a good relationship with the players is a clear positive. What I objected to was the suggestion that Cortese was the single most important factor for luke Shaw. That's a nonsense.

Nope. The Daily Mail article was interesting and a good piece, as were all the positive match reports about our style of play and how well we were doing this year (something that Cortese deserves praise for). Surely you can see the difference between those and this article?

I have no problem with attention to detail. My main gripe was with how the article was written rather than the majority of the content. The Daily Mail article for instance was quite an interesting read last week but this PR stuff is insulting to any half intelligent person.

I certainly wouldn't swap him with Gold and Sullivan but they are pretty much the worst examples in the premier league. He has his flaws like all chairmen but has done a lot of good as well. That doesn't make the style and content of this article any less laughable.

Oh completely. If you are going to employ a PR company then this is the sort of stuff you want and on the BBC too! Think of the exposure.

No and this has nothing to do with that so slightly odd that you would bring it up. The very idea that Luke Shaw is committed to a chairman above all else is utterly utterly laughable. As others have pointed out above, the article reads like a PR piece and has clearly been released by the club for a reason ('insiders' PMSL).

The scouting set-up is the envy of the biggest clubs in England, it is focused, structured and unerringly accurate. Targets are identified months in advance. Panic buys are a thing of the past. he is committed to the Southampton way and committed to Cortese beyond all else.

I highly doubt this line: The players more than likely do not give a toss about the chairman.

Pretty much. I see the PR company is earning their wage. Despite Cortese doing a good job this sort of article is nauseating.

Is the motive not clear in that first line? What other motive could there be? Unless he was looking to start a thread where there would be virtual universal condemnation of hateful and incorrect views in which case he succeeded.

Quite difficult not to do that when you consider the idiotic content contained in the post.

And what did you think of it based on that quick look? Personally I think grey crab's response was appropriate considering the content of the post and if you haven't read it than how can you call grey crab's response unnecessary?

What do you think about the first post in this thread?
