  1. Sorry! Was automatically filled in. Fixed now.
  2. Could have won, could have lost, in the end a point a fair result (and a good one!)
  3. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?53691-Post-Match-Reaction-Chelsea-1-1-SAINTS#.VQWkW4rfXCQ
  4. RIP
  5. Ah, makes more sense, had got the wrong end of the stick. Nick Awford has had his contract cancelled. Apologies
  6. Hm, odd considering recent results. Seems that Awford is no longer manager.
  7. Knew it was only a matter of time with his COPD, but... RIP
  8. Priceless.
  9. Aye, BBC have seen the exact same thing. http://www.bbc.co.uk/editorialguidelines/page/guidance-language-full#Changing%20Language:%20Use%20and%20Acceptability
  10. As long as you're using it in the context of someone buying and selling hardware, you're probably ok with that one.
  11. That very word was the reason I put 'or any derivatives'.
  12. If you have an issue with it, I'm afraid you'll have to take it up with Steve, as I can't do anything about that. It doesn't mean that 'mong' is acceptable though.
  13. Obviously not. From that page; "a shortening of mongol" And researching the facts one layer deeper... http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/mongol The reason it's so offensive isn't because it's offensive to the person it's being used against (although that's enough reason for it to not be used in its own right), it's because the use of the term as an insult is offensive to those with Down's Syndrome, implying that they are an insult, just by being who they are. If anyone is still in doubt, ask yourself why it's never used on television, not even after the watershed. Surely a four letter, one syllable mild insult would be a perfect substitute to use, if it were acceptable? Obviously, it's pretty difficult to talk about the topic in hand without using the word at all, but the use of 'mong' or any derivatives on this forum as an insult will not be tolerated.
  14. OK, that helps a bit too.
  15. Can't remember being this ****ed off after a game before. Usually I'm over a loss by the time I get to the end of the road walking home from the stadium and ready to look forward to what's needed next, but still sat here 24 hours later feeling wound up. Got a feeling it'll take a while longer yet. Watching this for a while helps a little bit.
  16. And he's still a ****end I see. No doubt he'll get the boos and jeers and worse, but we should chuck in "we're just too good for you" as well, especially if we're winning and preferably after Wanyama has knocked him on his backside for the 3rd or 4th time.
  17. What else is there under the parent company? Is it just the football club?
  18. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31446066 La Liga's President talking of switching to collective bargaining to try and compete. Could see that seriously hurting Barcelona and Real Madrid, at least in the short-medium term.
  19. Paddy Power would probably offer you odds on that.
  20. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/11789084.Stoneman_signs_for_Red_Bull/ Now in Red Bull's junior team in the Renault World Series 3.5, which is the route Vettel took into F1. He's still only 24, so it's possible he's got a route into F1 still.
  21. The only strange thing is that you keep trying to troll when you're so terrible at it.
  22. Not quite. It's only if BOTH are won by Prem teams outside the top four that fourth place is knocked down to Europa League.
  23. An equal split allows the league to be more competitive, which makes it more attractive to viewers, and allows the next round to be priced even higher.
  24. That's incredible. Getting to the point now where the financial benefit from qualifying for the Champions League is diluted.
  25. Heh, LVG doesn't have the tiniest grasp of mind games compared to Fergie. If the players hadn't been affected already sub-conciously by Allardyce, they will be now by LVG reacting like this.
