hypochondriac

We need better than long and Austin. Scoring goals has been a real issue this year and that will continue next season.

I think some of the players you mention will be able to do a job in the championship. The secret is to complement these players with some quality.

He won't be staying.

This entire season has been an abortion. I hope we can bring in someone next season who can help us start again and pretend this was all a bad dream.

Hughes has done a good job and our performance today was better than pretty much every game under pellegrino despite the loss. Just gutting that we couldn't get at least a point here.

Just f*ck off. Ffs.

This is it now. This is our season right here over the next twenty minutes.

Bednarek.

I really hope we don't sit back and try to protect this lead because it won't work.

The worse signing we have made in our history and probably takes the record for the most expensive striker never to score for their club.

If you ask them who won the 1975 fa Cup it says Southampton.

The two things are entirely unrelated.

Lol! He isn't alt right in the slightest you clearly know nothing about him at all. The content of the joke video he made whilst viewed by many in poor taste is a side issue to the absolutely shocking verdict which ruled that it was for the court to decide the context of a joke. It's summed up well by the always excellent Jonathan Pie character here:

I think the clear implication of the speech was that it was against black people- or from what I've read that's how people viewed it at the time.

What's interesting about the rivers of blood speech is that it complains about an influx of immigration that is many times slower than the current levels. It's curious that such low levels caused such alarm fifty years ago- it obviously wasn't just Powell fretting about immigration- yet massively higher levels today barely cause a ripple amongst politicians or those at the top. Certainly the speech has some ideas worth discussing- though the tone and how it comes across is undoubtedly racialist in nature and was more about venting against foreigners than actually trying to solve any problems. Unfortunately it started the polarisation of the issue of immigration to the point that you can't now have sensible discussions about control without being called racist of a nazi so in that sense it was incredibly damaging.

Not sure I agree with you there- the whole debate was lame- but at least that was a good example of potentially controversial ideas being given a good airing and allowing people to make their own minds up. I'm not a massive fan of Harris anyway.

Turkish I do agree regarding nick Griffin and I was going to make that point that he didn't really get a fair crack of the whip- it was more Jeremy Kyle than question time- nevertheless it's true that once his views gained more exposure his parties popularity waned.

We don't live in a country of free speech. See Count Dankula being sentenced later this month for proof of that.

Grownups allow all ideas airtime so that the racist or poor ones can be refuted by better arguments. Far far better to give commonly held views an airing and watch them lose their attraction to many. Nick Griffin for example was allowed to share his views on Question Time and overnight his parties popularity crumbled. Many so called adults have now been infantalised by some aspects of modern culture and so believe that ideas they disagree with should be censored. The rivers of blood speech should absolutely be heard and then discussed, analysed and challenged. Its bizarre to think that it would encourage racism by being broadcast, particularly because I could find it with a thirty second Google search and also because there are ideas just as insidious and likely to incite division and hatred being given mainstream airtime today- the ideas of intersectionality, white privelege and identity politics for example.

Plus the speculation that his daughter could have been an agent too. If that is the case then we can be certain it was Russia. Whilst that may not be true, I'm sure the security services will have more evidence that we are not aware of that would make them sure. I simply don't believe they are accusing Russia with this level of certainty without being sure themselves.

Our fatal flaw was making all the evidence look too convincing. It's all so obvious!

Mick Mccarthy anyone? From memory he's always done well in the championship.

Has there ever been a more expensive striker who has never scored for their club?

I noted with interest that Gervais and David Baddiel were the only two comedians to speak out against the conviction of the Nazi pug guy last week. I don't always agree with his opinions and I've found much of his stuff since extras incredibly unfunny but fair play to him for having the balls to stick his head above the parapet in defence of possible jail time for a joke.

I don't think it summed up our season at all. I haven't seen us perform this well for probably the large majority of the season. I thought we weren't great defensively but we actually posed an attacking threat for once. If we do go down this highlighted who we need to rebuild the team. If possible keep romeu, jwp, long and Austin.
