Adkins and his coaching staff are making decent players even better. I am excited about what they can do for the games of both Sharp and Lee.

If you read my post properly you'll see that I recognised the tender conditions. I don't agree with them though. I repeat, the French and Germans would never issue contracts like these overseas. It allows their own countries companies to grow and expand, while having a positive knock on effect to their local economies. I don't believe for one minute that Bombardier couldn't match the quality of Siemens or Alstom.

It is not 'all that counts'. Factor in the welfare costs for the redundant Bombardier employees and their families. Factor in the companies that rely on Bombardier contacts for their survival, then factor in the welfare costs for their families. If they got the uk contract it could have allowed them to expand, win more overseas contracts and further improve the uk economy. Giving the contract to Siemens was a bad move by the government, also by the previous government that put the tender conditions in place. Would the French or Germans have given this contract overseas? Not a chance in hell.

Now we've got our full squad back, and increased our firepower, I confidently predict we'll be unbeaten for the rest of the season and go up. We're f*cking mustard, happy days.

Would do if I could run more than 3 miles without feeling like someone has shot my right calf.

I recommend going long on pork bellies. DYOR

We should go for Joe Hart, Messi and Iniesta. If we don't, then we are all being mugged off.

I was replying to Lord Ds post about the principle of not paying for a licence fee if they don't watch or listen to their services.

I prefer their approach to the Pompey cheating one. They sold us their best player and are trying to sort their debts out honestly.

It's allegedly on first row sports.

If he gets the service, I honestly think he will.

Or go on their website (which is brilliant), listen to their radio stations, or use BBC iPlayer.

The BBC give me better value for money than Sky do. Match of the Day is still the best football programme on telly. And if the BBC goes private we'll just have another ITV, which is worse than dogsh!t.

I thought the old boy was quality.

I reckon they jumped the gun, thinking that Warnock would take the job and the reported million pound salary being offered. Hard to see who would be a better fit for them than Clarke.

Sharp will get an extra yard of pace, and a lot more stamina, in the next month or so. Adkins and the coaches will see to that. He's a clever forward and will definitely come good for us IMO.

I keep telling everyone and nobody's listens. I reckon he is a closet Saints fan. He even went to watch us in the 86 semi against Liverpool at White Hart Lane. I've been saying it for years.

Back in the late 80's/90's, our best players flocked to Italy to earn more money. It might be a little different now, but the best players will still follow the money.

I had to fight off the affections of Greta Garbo one half-time in the Itchen concourse.

I couldn't give a toss whether he's printing a new paper or not. I will definitely not be lining the pockets of Rupert or his weasel son.

I think they'll be lucky to even get someone to buy them for a pound. I still reckon they'll go to the wall.

Doesn't the administrator have to fund the administration?

I thought this thread was about a Howard Jones tune.

I once spent an entire half-time in the Kingsland concourse retrieving lobsters from Jayne Mansfield's arsehole.

Spot on.
