Would recommend The Quays. Better value than the private gyms, and after an initial 6 month commitment, you only need to give a months notice to quit (at the point typically when you realise you're still paying for it but haven't been for a few months). Lots of the other places are a year's commitment.

In Antonio and Waigo we have 2 players who, I believe, can play both on the wing or up through the middle. Would rather we concentrated our efforts on signing a decent midfielder to be honest. If Southend are trying to have us over with the fee, then let it go.

We're going to have to get used to teams driving a hard bargain for players now we're minted. I don't think the deal is dead, if it was, Pardew could have batted the question away.

Last season we had a divisive chairman and board who alienated a good many of our support. This season we don't. Love it.

Actually saw Lallana move inside yesterday when there was loads of space behind the full-back. You are right, we didn't stretch the ten men across the park as we should have done.

I think that if it wasn't for tomorrows game you would have seen a better second half from the team. Anyone slagging off Perry (only a few) here clearly knows nothing about football.

Eric Webber used to be landlord of my local. When he retired he moved into a flat near to where I lived and I used to laugh when his missus hung his massive underpants out to dry. I kid you not.

My old man said be a Pompey fan I said f*ck of b*llocks you're a c*nt (you're a c*nt). Love it. No finer tune from any terrace in the land.

Like it.

You seem bereft of a sense of humour, I'm not surprised, most heathens are miserable sods.

I bet all you heathens start believing in God when you're about to cark it. He won't be fooled, and you will probably end up at Fratton Park for all eternity. Happy Christmas.

So Blair, and his government thought that regime change was important, and that WMDs was a convenient way to topple this despot and justify a war. I look forward to WMDs being found in Zimbabwe and North Korea then......

So this has nothing to do with Willie Walsh then, and is all the fault of the unions?

Willie Walsh seems to have made a sow's ear out of a silk purse. Bravo, typical of some of the incompetent management that is plaguing British industry. If I was a shareholder I wouldn't be at all happy with this fool running BA. Unite aren't covering themselves in glory either. I respect their right to take action, but ruining many hard-working families Christmas holidays is bang out of order.

I Sky+ Match of the Day just so I don't have to listen to the boring gits in the studio. I can't stand Andy Gray, and Claridge is a Saints fan.

Your lucky, I had to put up with blokes talking about what a c*nt one of their wives is. She even gives him a hard time after he does his chores. I kid you not.

Ian Murray is a muppet. Have you ever read his editorials? He is a condascending ***t. Mr Cortese, stick to your guns and keep this irrelevant rag away from the club. Hopefully the paper will cease to exist and my missus won't be able to waste my money buying that inane sh*t anymore.

This coming from a country that found OJ Simpson not guilty is laughable.

The other two names couldn't lace Williams boots.

You didn't read my post very well. If our own were incentivised to manufacture here they may well think twice about moving their production overseas. Governments would be well served by handing out tax-breaks and other incentives in return for the unemployment bill going down. I can assure you it is much more expensive to ship to Europe from the far-east than it would be to pop goods over the channel. These shipping costs will rise in years to come as the container-shipping industry recovers, as it surely will. Shippers will be looking to recoup the billions they are currently losing.

The 'way forward' is not as simplistic as you say. Yes, we should be encouraging the inventors and entrepreneurs, but we should also be encouraging them, through the tax system and other incentives, to manufacture in this country. Yes, it is cheaper to manufacture in the far east, but it becomes a lot more expensive in shipping costs to get your goods to the established markets of Europe and North America. Your last paragraph makes you sound like a bit of a c*nt.

Bad day?

Is that the same Dyson who outsourced production of his vacuum cleaners from the UK to the sweatshops of the far east? It would be nice if we expanded our manufacturing base and increased our exports.
