Wonder what Europhile Polly makes of Spain,Ireland's & Malta's abortion laws, Malta's is basically JRM's position Can't recall her mentioning it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So if you disagree with a law, you have to go f u c k yourself? Good job the older generation fought for what they believed in, rather than f u c k ed themselves, otherwise we wouldn't have legal abortions Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's down to when you believe human life to start, conception or 24 weeks. If you believe that it's conception then clearly terminating a pregnancy at 2,3,4 weeks is killing a human life. The law and mainstream opinion clearly believes that there is a point where an unborn baby is a human life, otherwise we would allow termination up to the day of birth. Personally I'm inclined to agree with him, we keep people in a vegetive state alive, but allow a 23 week old foetus to be killed. However on a practical level I support a women's right to choose, because of the harm done if she doesn't (backstreet abortions, suicides, unwanted babies etc). We've let the genie out of the bottle, no putting it back in. So his abortion beliefs are consistent & thought through, whether you agree with them or not. It's certainly more refreshing for him to state these rather than do a Farron fudge. He won't become leader, he's not up to it and hasn't got the required skills. Not that this stopped Corbyn, however, the Tory MP's aren't as ****ing stupid at Labour ones. They have rules in place to stop this, but unlike labour won't circumnavigate them,to allow different arguments to be heard. The party faithful are head bangers, so the 2 candidates presented to them will both be normal establishment figures. How on earth can you send a candidate to the membership that hasn't the support of enough MP's and one that MP's have no confidence in? It just leads to chaos. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How do you solve a problem like Van Dijk
Lord Duckhunter replied to SO16_Saint's topic in The Saints
It obviously depends on his attitude. Has he got his head round the fact he's staying until next summer at least, or is he going to be a cock in the Jan window. We can't really welcome him back from Sept to Dec & then have him sit out Jan like a baby. If he's got his head round that, if he's fit, then he's the first name on the team sheet. I'm in the no boo, no cheer camp. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I know for a fact that he's in the side for sat. If he doesn't play, I'm still an itk, but things change quickly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Not hard at all. All you need to do is look at the facts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What????? 7th then 6th in the 2 years following Cortese, how on earth could we maintain that ? 5th, then 4th , 3rd? Get some realism man. You do realise that this stalled momentum position of 8th is equal to the highest we ever achieved under Cortese? So by your "laughable logic" Les' worst season is equal to Cortese's best Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fagen & Becker were geniuses and they surrounded themselves with incredible musicians. The only band that me and Mrs Duck both really like. A dozen of their tracks are up there with the very best ever written. My personal favourite is My old school . RIP Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What's the definition of madness, doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome isn't it? Bearing that in mind I'd go for 2 up top. It can not be a coincidence that we get deja vue every home game. Away is slightly different, but I have no confidence that anything will change, unless we make it. In pretty keen on a back 3 to get 2 strikers, but it can be a shambles if not worked on properly. Therefore I'd go 4-3-1-2. Keeper (unfortunately) & full backs pick themselves. Not sure which centre halves will be fit, and haven't seen Wes play. I'd have a narrow midfield 3 of OR, Lemina & Davo. Tadic in the 10 with Charlie & Gabbi up top. Personally I prefer Long to Charlie as he's quicker, but he can't finish and he may have played 2 full games this week. The watch out is that Charlie & Gabbi don't try to make the same runs (Charlie's being slower), but they're both pretty intelligent players, so should be able to work it out. I'm pretty confident those 2 will bury chances around the box. On paper there looks like a lack of width, but at home the full backs can give us that, provided OR plays like he did last season. I doubt very much whether we'll change much from the normal formation , with Redmond & Tadic either side of Gabbi, & Davo in the 10. But we're struggling for goals at home and Austin knows where the net is. I wouldn't play him away and wouldn't play him against top sides, but when we're going to dominate the ball, let's get him on the pitch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Of course you have to be prepared to walk away, that's your bottom line in any negotiation. If you tell the person you're negotiating with that you will do a deal no matter what, what sort of deal do you think you'll get. **** me, who taught you to negotiate, Forrest Gump? I want to buy your house, but no matter how expensive it gets, I'm not going to walk away without buying it,because I need somewhere to live. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One negotiated by somebody who won't walk away. Somebody who at the start of the negotiations says "whatever deal you propose we will accept ". In other words, one negotiated by The Labour Party. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mahrez has been pretty average since wanting away Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
The opposite of "no deal is better than a bad deal", is " a bad deal is better than no deal". I'd have said paying £100 billion a year to trade with the EU was a bad deal and that operating under WTO rules would be better. Clearly the "bad deal is better than no deal" loons don't think so.

She's dog rough if you ask me, weird looking Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone who thinks the government is going to commit to paying any money without knowing what the future trading relationship is going to be is deluded. The can't risk the EU banking the €50 billion & then being awkward over a deal. Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed, everything else is just bluff. Our ace card is the ****ing big hole in their budget caused by us leaving, we ain't giving that up for nothing in return Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How does Harry R prove he's better than Davo, or Matt Targett prove he's better than Bertrand, McQueen , the new polish centre half? How do any of them get in the side. Should we just give them all 7/8 games just to give them a chance. A new manager comes in, he watches players in training, in pre season games, no doubt he watches videos of last years games, he even gives fringe players a run against a championship reserve side. He comes in with an open mind and picks the best players ( in his opinion) Yet you still claim he hasn't had a chance. What do you think, the manager is told he must play Redmond & Tadic or do you think that despite all their failings, he feels they're still a better bet than Boufal? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

People contrasting him with Tadic are deluded. Tadic has been a mainstay of a side that finished 7th, 6th & 8th. He's a proven premier league player. All this not given a chance is pony. He's had chances, Wolves reserves was one, every time he comes on is another , every day at training. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The charity game on Sky 1 is more exciting than England especially as Mourinho is in nets for Shearers side. He may be a drunken twt but Merson is class Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well both managers he's had at Southampton seem to prefer Redmond & Tadic over him. But what do they know, they're only ex players and Managers and only get to see him every day. I'd take their half a brain opinion over somebody who watches him occasionally make the pitch on a Sat (or a Wednesday in the case of Wolves reserves). Perhaps you should ask yourself why he can't get into a misfiring average side, a side that struggles to score goals. If he's "clearly got talent" and anyone with half a brain can see that, why are the people paid to pick the side constantly leaving him out. Maybe it's because they know a bit more than you and he's not as good as you think he is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Where haveI written him off? Just saying he's been woeful SO FAR. This "clearly has talent " is the exact same phrase used for Gaston. If you can't impose yourself on the game, it doesn't matter what skill you have. Talent is being capable of using those skills when opponents are trying to stop you doing so. Mr Woo had all the skills but we wouldn't want to sign him.At least Gaston appeared to try, I've seen a couple of games where this guy appeared to want to come off. I'd question how badly he really wants it. We're not the Harlem Globetrotters FC, he needs to shape up and start producing or ship out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Heard the same about Gaston, that worked out well didn't it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agenda? Lol . Just telling it how it is. What on earth has he done to earn a run in the side? Absolutely nothing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

**** me, it's the Gaston thread all over again, we're only missing "The Villa Match". He doesn't start because he doesn't deserve to start. He's been woeful so far, completely over rated on here. He started against Wolves reserves & was average. Poor poor buy so far, some of you are letting hope cloud your judgement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We must have some pretty damning evidence if they have to wait for us to ask them to bid. Seeing as tapping up is rife & a blind eye pretty much turned over and over again, somebody has seriously ****ed up their end. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Saints Transfers Thread - Deadline Day
Lord Duckhunter replied to Saint Charlie's topic in The Saints
There were signs prior to his shoulder injury that Austin's game was developing. He was holding the ball up better & linking play well. The problem (apart from his injury record) he's got is his lack of pace & the way we play. Personally I think we could get him into a 4-3-1-2 against the weaker sides, but ultimately I think we'll end up disappointed with his Saints career Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
