Sheik Yerbouti - it's all there, la la la

Enjoyed that

Lallana looks like a Lego man

I bet if this went to a public referendum the right to die would win hands down - poxy red tape law bullsheet. A taboo we need to meet head on rather than shy away from

Giving any money to that bellend would be the last thing I'd do

I like the way the club deal with all this - it's no ones business until the deal is done. Commenting on business dealings is unprofessional and the clubs that do use the press look amateur. As for the 60 pages, half of that is the usual tittle tattle between the usual suspects, the rest mostly over reaction to a potential signing.

Nice one, good times considering how hot it was on Sunday and a bit more climbing than your local patch Remember no big rides for the final week and go carb crazy for 3-4 days before hand, works a treat.

Well done to all users that this hook was baited for..............

Always amazes me the polarised view of the few, they must all live in the same house. One minute we're the wet fannies, the next they are, I just don't know what to think anymore............but here goes, I'm surprised we haven't had more bods through the door, I fear we may take a few hammerings

I am a little concerned if I'm honest - our defence needs to improve but I'll reserve complete judgement until the end of the Wigan game.

Even if Bolt came 2nd Bolt would always be centre of attention, what a great character.

It was just fantastic

I didn't link all physical punishment with anger Pap and I take exception to your tone - trying to link me to other posters 'vile representations', 'attacks' and suggest that I might teach my kids in this way, there's no need for that at all. I may have passed judgement that it's 'lazy parenting' but that's what a forum is about and I put forward my case without malice or point scoring. I also made reference to your point that physical punishment can be delivered without anger, agreed but I pointed out that I don't see that as an endearing quality, the 'insecurity' bit was maybe too subjective for this debate and a little misleading and I don't agree with CaMs view that I think people derive personal advantage from it because I don't. I'm not or have been going anywhere near the abuse/excessive punishments links that people have done on this thread, I'm discussing the very basics of the simple idea that punishment in the physical form is either the best or only way to deal with kids, I don't believe it is. There's time's where I've totally lost my rag and probably come across quite threatening and in some cases some people would say that the a smack on the arm would have been more effective and less traumatic for the kids. Look if people want to smack their kids on the hand, arm etc to enforce their methods to control/teach their kids, good luck to them, I know this will not cause any serious issues but I do think it's an option that's taken too easily and is ultimately not the way forward. I'm not saying that all non smacked kids will turn out better than smacked kids or vice versa or that I'm on some moral crusade to say that I know best, far from it, I've got alot of learning to do yet and it's hard enough bringing up kids as it is but it will always be from my original standpoint.

because I only assume that anger is what leads people to dish out physical punishment, alternatively a considered use of physical punishment is not exactly an endearing character quality in my book, essences of an insecurity maybe........

LOL - That's the point that I lock them in the loft for an hour

Let's bring it away from where the abuse line is, what's legal or linking it to beating the wife. In it's simplest terms smacking a child and by this I mean a simple slap on the leg or hand is a lazy solution to a problem, the child does not do as you wish which makes you angry and that then manifests itself physically. Not a good role model for kids is it. What I try to do is reason with my kids, have done from a very early age against the advice of many saying you can't reason with an 2 year old, well maybe not entirely but it makes for a great foundation and you'll be amazed how quickly they pick it up.

He seems to be working hard to turn himself around as do Saints who obviously see someone worth pursuing. If the guy can get his head in a good place and change some of his spots he may well work out

Smacking, hitting or any sort of physical shock tactics = lazy parenting

Turning out to be another good day at the office:)

Just got back from the athletics and it was the most amazing night, the atmosphere was truly electric, stunning. Highlight has to be Mo's final 4 laps with the wave of cheering following him round the laps, building to a mad, mad crescendo in the final 200m, absolutely stunning roar. We had seats right in front of the podium and Jess's medal ceremony was the icing on the cake, the national anthem was very very special. Seeing Rutherford's joy of the gold, it all made for a top night, felt very very privileged to have witnessed a historical day. Apparently it's a year to the day that the riots started, wow what a different a year makes. Have to say the whole end to end from Southampton Parkway and back was faultless, no queues, no stress, no drama, no negativity, Olympic Park and the atmosphere is superb - hats of to the organisers, top notch, we can all be very proud.

negative and cynical = cool happy clappy = sooo uncool I think that's how it goes..........
