Something similar happened in America in the 1850s. The old Whig party disappeared and was superceded by the Republican party. Civil war shortly followed. 😕

It is often stated on here that our recruitment needs to improve but what brief is given to the recruitment team when it comes to finding players? SR's aim is to make money by buying cheap and selling high. They want to buy youngsters with the intention of cashing in at the earliest opportunity. They hit the jackpot with Lavia, Tino and possibly Fernandes but have bought duds like Edwards, Wood, Archer, BBD and Sugawara to add to the likes of Larios, Charles, Edozie and Bazuma - all of whom have contributed very little if anything to the first team this season. Add in those youngsters like, SAA, Megahoma and Armitage and you wonder if recruitment is designed to buy players with a potential high resale value rather than find players for the first team. We have been crying out for an Ings replacement for over 3 seasons. Why haven't we found one? We are supposed to have a great academy? Why can't we concentrate on developing our own, not waste money on the likes of Wood, Edwards, Larios, Bazuma etc and recruit what the team needs like an Ings replacement?

Does anyone have any views on Rupert Lowe???

Lol. I don't disagree. My mate is still a very keen water polo player. We regularly discuss the elitism of water polo. He is insistent that water polo could be played in schools...despite us pointing out that to play it schools require a swimming pool with a minimim depth of over 6 feet. 😁😁😁

I am not really sure if William is a great Villa fan. In 2000 when Villa reached the Cup Final, William was unable to attend due to " his A levels." That afternoon my mate played Water polo against Eton College and William was in the Eton team. Not only did William miss the final but he was sent out of the pool for foul play!

I do like finding a post from Nutty Nic. They always make me laugh.

Even if I knew nothing about his past the bloke would have lost me when he declared that the BBC is a cancer at the heart of this country. I appreciate that some people do not like the BBC and there is a thread on this subject on this forum..... But come on "A cancer"??? Lowe is a complete prick.

I expect that Farage and Tice would like to airbrush Lowe’s stay at Southampton. 2 relegations and a bankruptcy is hardly a great endorsement for someone who would like to run the country.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/feb/13/reform-mp-rupert-lowe-hails-solar-energy-money-saver-while-party-vows-tax-sector Who would ever have believed it but it would seem that Rupert is a bit of a hypocrite.

I wonder who Lallana played for before Liverpool. The commentator doesn't seem to know.

Is Trump going to make life difficult for Reform? The likes of Farage and Tice are closely associated with the lying Orange cunt. They are trying to row back on previous comments and endorsements of Trump but the more nonsense that comes out from Trump, the more difficult it is for them not to be connected by association. The QT audience certainly showed what they thought when Bruce told Tice to shut up. Add in squabbling amongst their MPs (I hope that Rupert Lowe, when he is Reform leader, doesn't expect to win any Southampton MPs😁) and the future may not be that bright for Reform.

Its the same rhetoric as he promised before. The same" hell to pay" if Hamad didn't hand alk the hostages over before Trump took over. The same "hell to pay" that Trump threatened if hostages weren't returned by 12 noon one Saturday a couple of weeks ago.

I think that his mental issues are caused more by the syphilis that he suffers from rather than alcohol.

But surely a European army would provide the coordination of resources and the "coherent command and control", that your previous post wanted.

So is it correct to assume that you are now in favour of a European army?

Has anyone ever seen Shit for Brains Missile and Nutty Nic in the same room? Just wondering if they are the same person.

Says the man who has the picture of a leading member of a foreign government as his avatar. 🤣🤣🤣

That is what happens when the likes of Russia and China give funding to third world countries. These countries will not vote against the country that feeds them.

On the other hand we are 10/1 to win on Tuesday and 6 /1 to draw. Tempted?? No me neither.

Saying that you are the youngest ever cabinet minister which can be easily proven wrong is not only lying but is incredibly stupid but what else would you expect from Honest Bob Jenrick?

A few years ago the Chairman of the BBC was a Saints fan (Christopher Bland) was a Saints fan. When he resigned he was replaced by Gavyn Davies - another Saints fan.

So its a suggestion. Not a fact. So it was wrong for Vance to say it . Agree??
