Just shows how silly that 8 year contract was.

Can only think they're trying to force Pardew out by making his working conditions miserable... I'd hate to be a Newcastle supporter right now.

After the first game of the Championship season, in Hollywood Studios at Disney, Saints shirt on, and fully knowing about our 3-1 win, going round a corner and running straight into someone wearing a Leeds shirt. He looked at me and just went 'no way' We chatted for a bit and he reckoned they'd beat us at Elland Road. I wondered how he was reacting after THAT performance by Kelvin Davis later in the season. Later on the same day, someone sees me from across the road and starts running across towards me. I'm stood there wondering if something's wrong, or if I'm about to be hit... but no. They supported Saints, had seen my Saints shirt, and was making sure I knew we'd won Aaand another one who says hi to Hugh!

Meh, wasn't trying to imply he was, just pointing out the probable consequence of what he was saying. Whichever way you look at it, it was an idiotic thing for him to say.

Can he even mention the way we treat our own though, after Pompey shafted their own staff, players, and local suppliers for millions in compromise agreements the way they did? After all, Kanu was a legend for them, winning the FA Cup, and then he wanted paying for it, and they turned on him pretty sharply...

Can't help but feel he'll lose more supporters from Southampton on the doorstep than he'll gain from Pompey with that stance. They've committed to making the current ground 'the best in cricket' so I can't see them moving back down that way either.

Sorry to hear you had this trouble Turkish. Glad to see it's been sorted quickly though.

They're finally getting rid of that bit of waste also known as Fratton Park? Didn't know they currently had a training ground to recycle though...

Impressive, especially considering a large part of Arsenal's figure is from Saints Academy.

Heh, thanks. Couldn't see it for looking!

Striker I'm guessing, 'Shooting star...' from the start of the report.

Sad news RIP

Bound to be a wind up, Holloway hates us for some reason, but just seeing his reaction to this would be hilarious on the off chance it happens to be true.

Ok, yeah, guess I walked into that. But hiding behind my poor choice of wording doesn't change the point I was making.

It's offensive if people find it offensive. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/8447457.stm Saying that it isn't offensive, or that it shouldn't be offensive doesn't magically make it ok.

If he can keep any sort of fitness, he'll be immense in League Two for them. Pretty big if though, with his track record.

Like was said before, this is a football forum. I don't want to have to deal with this thread any more.

They have certainly been discriminatory towards certain beliefs though.

Look, I know there's a line to tread here. It's obviously going to be discussed. But please, keep it to discussing THEIR actions, rather than any particular group they belong to's actions. Some posts were falling on the wrong side of that. That's the reason I'm replying like this instead of just issuing infractions, because I know it's a sensitive topic. Just try not to fall into 'Racist or Homophobic or Discriminatory remark' infraction territory.

These are the ones I'm particularly worried about. Bringing race, religion, or idealogy into these discussions is always dangerous ground.

Of course it's not just those two, but that in no way, shape or form justifies blaming this on a belief system.

You really think it's ok to imply that all Muslims are like those nutters? That is terrifying.

Oh for ****s sake. The best doctor my Gran ever had happened to be Muslim, that never made him do anything wrong. No belief system has a clean slate, ever heard of The Crusades? People that do this kind of crap will always find some justification for what they do. Religion, football, being looked at the wrong way, whatever. Their actions are at fault here. Not where they're from, their ethnic origin, or their beliefs. Any more posts along those lines will be infracted, they end here.

Looks like it was a soldier that was the victim according to the local MP there.
