  1. Yes that was my point but the flipside is they pay virtually nothing to use it.
  2. I might be biased but I'd definitely want to buy a club down south if I had a choice. Looking at the prem you'd imagine West ham would be the top choice but maybe the Olympic stadium is a bit of a curse. Beyond that you'd think we'd be worth a look.
  3. Thanks for the encouraging words Turkish. Love and light.
  4. I'm surprised Leicester don't come in for Bertrand.
  5. I admit I was making it up. We all know who the real itk is around here.
  6. It was really just a pretty informal conversation where he says a few things in between talking about a load of other stuff unrelated to saints. They'll be putting a statement out about it soon at any rate and offering replacements for the people who have bought the current shirt I expect. I think we've already sorted a new sponsor.
  7. It's a statement about the sponsor not a takeover!
  8. He just said Friday. If it doesn't happen today then maybe they've delayed it. I'd expect a statement in the next few days if it's not today.
  9. It's going to be like a film script where everyone gives up and then saints release a statement at 11:59.
  10. I put myself out there. Now I feel all vulnerable and exposed.
  11. I'm not giving up yet!
  12. Yep. My mate has had a season ticket at the dell since he was five. He's sacking it off because there's no appeal for the reasons you mentioned.
  13. Literally no idea. Let's say evening to give me the maximum amount of time to be right and smug about it.
  14. I'll do it if I'm right. The pressure is on.
  15. Boom tish. Very good.
  16. I expect that given a choice, those youngsters who actually value an education would prefer a sense of achievement for working hard and completing their exams rather than having to live through a pandemic and losing the chance to show what they could do. As an example, my adopted sister took her gcse exams a decade ago and it was probably the proudest moment of her young life to pass everything considering what she had been through. Not every youngster is feckless and a "weirdo" for taking pride in achieving something like you appear to claim. We have no way of knowing whether someone got what they "deserved" or not. It's a best guess scenario and it's a real shame but as I already mentioned there isn't really a choice. I'm not really interested in your faux psychoanalysis of my forum posts but if you're asking for my opinion, I'd rather you didn't respond to a post expressing sympathy for the youngsters in such an aggressive and rude manner.
  17. Blimey. Are you OK? I'm guessing you have a kid who has had to go through this. My commiserations.
  18. Is mixed race OK? What if you're mixed race but look more white?
  19. Oh I'm not saying there was much choice and like you say it's the entire social thing as well as much as anything else.
  20. For me the saddest thing is the loss of that achievement. When I was a boy, you went to secondary school and it culminated in the exams which were what you had to show for your entire time there. For an entire year of pupils to lose that is pretty tragic.
  21. I mean if it came to it couldn't you just lie and say it was a different year? I assume students will get the same certificates as if they actually took the exams and in 5-10 years people will probably forget what year it was where the exams weren't actually done.
