... and Les wonders why I find his posts so amusing.

As he is splashing the cash, you would have thought that the Chancellor could have bunged a bit our way. Enough to buy a couple of decent players. ...and he calls himself a Saints fan.

Disappointed in Sunak. If he is a true Southampton supporter he could have announced something in the Budget to aid the purchase of Premiership teams in Hampshire.

God really must hate Brexit. After all the storms that he sent us once we had left he is now sending a plague to wipe out the old gammon and swivels like Mad Dorris. I hope that Les doesn't go down with it. He is at a vulnerable age and if he went who would supply as much amusement?

.... and the mad man in charge doesn't accept that it is a problem!!

I dont disagree with you .... but would Gao really turn down a sensible offer ? I know the figure of £250 million for 80% has been quoted as his asking price but hopefully that is the starting point for negotiations.

yeah... it is much better to be a sad, weird troll with multiple log ins who sits on the internet each match day pretending to be a fan and pretending to be an expert gambler.

Having recently warched a box set of Life on Mars I think that Lord Duckhunter could happily play the Philip Glenister role .... or perhaps Philip Glenister could play Lord Duckhunter.

No. He is just a very naughty boy.

Now that is a load of pony. We will just have to agree to disagree. I would suggest though that you mug up on the British constitution.

Johnson and this government don't like being questioned. Johnson avoided "difficult" interviewers like Neil and the Radio 4 Today team during the election and have continued this trend when in Government. Duckie and others of his ilk are quite happy about this. I fear for democracy when politicians refuse to open themselves up to scrutiny.

Or in other words, as Jonnyboy said, Johnson didnt have the balls to face Neil.

So why was he so scared of facing Neil during the election?

So why not during the election? Was he scared of being judged by the full electorate rather than the Tory party gammon?

If it is a borefest, why on earth are you following it ? Is your life really that empty??

They must be holding the press conference at my house.

I feel so sorry for all of you who have contributed such personal, heart rendering stories to this thread. Your openness is very commendable. I just count myself fortunate not to have had the issues that you have described. My first wife suffered fron primary progressive Multiple Sclerosis. She was bed bound and could do very little for herself for many years before she died 5 years ago. For many years she was on a low dose of Citalopram. It made her life bearable and although I recognise the problems that are alluded to above (inducing a kind of numbness and cold turkey problems if she ever missed a dose) she could never have coped without it.

Sometimes even you excel yourself. Brilliant.

Isn't that international week?

So we will have a 3 week break between Norwich and Watford - albeit 1 of these weeks is due to the international break. It shows how the official "mid season break" (10 days for us) was really a farce.

"Damn business" Why does Duckie get so worked up when Boris the ****ger's private life gets mentioned ? He keeps using that phrase. Is he jealous of his ****ging ability??

Aston Villa take seat at top table but leave with worry they'll never belong https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2020/mar/01/aston-villa-take-seat-at-top-table-but-leave-with-worry-theyll-never-belong? An interesting article. All about Villa but applicable to us and somewhat similar to how I felt after our finals in 2003 and 2017.

God clearly disapproves of Brexit. Every weekend since we left the EU we have had a storm and now a plague is hitting us. It will be locusts next !!

He also disappeared because Pompey kept on being relegated whilst we were getting promoted.

Dont you love it when we make the trolls look stupid.
