  2. I heard a group of saints fans singing it on the tube in Milan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Didn't Prince Harry give her one? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. It's nothing to do with p1ssing on our parade and all to do with opinions. My opinion is that FF doesn't deserve to be in the squad. JWP has had a handful of half decent games, so shouldn't be near the squad yet & I'd have Walcott over Redmond any day of the week ( and I've been supportive of Redmond this season, when most were knocking him). Without a doubt this is one of the weakest English squads I can remember in 45 years of watching football. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. If leaving the EU means we get rid of the whinging Scots & that corrupt cesspit that is NI, then it's a win-win-win as far as I'm concerned. England & Wales are perfectly capable of forging a great future together. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. You think it's a coincidence we've look more coherent & more of a team since he's left. Puel looks more assured & things are looking up. It was VvD being injured that cost us the final , not Fonte Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. What currency would they use? They would have to accept freedom of movement , so therefore there would be a hard border between England & Scotland. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. She should be, she's given parliamentary legitimacy to a Hard Brexit process. Both houses having a meaningful vote on having a meaningful vote & agreeing with the Governments position. Referendum, then both houses , nobody can ever again complain that this isn't democratic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. And now the Lords. They think it's all over, it is now ...... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. I'm pretty sure we had 4 in the starting 11 for a friendly in the 80's . Memory a bit hazy, perhaps someone else can remember. Off the top of my head , Shilts, Mark Wright , Stevie Williams and David Armstrong. Maybe wrong and dreamt it . Any other old fossils help? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. I bet your defined benefit pension hasn't been ****ed around as much as mine has. I wish mine had been ****ed around with, rather than closed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. The simple fact is we are spending more money than we earn. We have not cut enough to pay off the deficit or get our debt down. Stop trying to pretend we have. You may want us to continue to overspend and stop cutting, passing our debts on to our kids & grandkids, that's your opinion. But don't try and claim we've had massive cuts because we haven't.

  13. But it's our generation that will howl with outrage if we try and address the issue. People like to portray pensioners as little old ladies burning their furniture to heat their homes. Some are poor but a lot are doing ok & better than ok. There was nothing wrong with defined benefit pensions. They were part of a decent companies working conditions. Gordon Brown made them unaffordable and therefore made the next generation of pensioners poorer( unless you're in the public sector ) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. If our scouting department can't get some in who is "half as good as him" , then they all need sacking. I reckon VvD in nets would be half as good as him, so it shouldn't be too hard. The hardest thing won't be replacing him, it'll be finding a buyer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. It's not a question of seeing it as a mild form of austerity, it's a fact that it is. What would I do? Plenty. Slash foreign aid for one. Welfare is too thinly spread. The triple lock on pensions is unaffordable. Winter fuel allowance & other pensioner perks should go for all but the poorest. Child benefit? What's all that about in the modern world? A family can be on 50k a year and the state pays them money each month for having children, madness. Welfare should stop being seen as something you pay into and therefore are entitled to get something out. It should be an insurance, a safety net. We should judge whether we are a caring society by how many people live without government handouts, not how much we spend on welfare. The majority should get a basic pension (paid for by NIC and based on contribution) access to a decent health service and then that's it, no more state involvement unless you've temporary fallen on hard times or are permanently unable to work. The problem is once people are addicted to hand outs they won't give them up. Look at the fuss made when millionaires child benefit was taken away. My old man was wealthy enough to retire at 55. In 1989 his endowment paid off his mortgage and left him with 18k. He had a final salary pension that nearly 30 years later is paying him over 20k a year, yet he gets winter fuel allowance. He gets a free TV licence, free bus pass . He got child benefit for me and my 2 siblings his whole working life. FFS, my kids and their kids will be paying the bill. Spending more money than you earn today,is stealing money off the next generation. In peacetime it's quite shocking what we're kicking down the road for them to deal with. It's funny how little the caring , sharing, PC generation care about this , they don't give a flying **** about lumbering the next lot with our debts. Pretty selfish behaviour, if you ask me.

  16. "Forster's name is being whispered at places like Everton and that is enough for Southampton to become a little edgy." A little edgy, ****ing jumping around trying to contain themselves more like. If we can off load him this summer for any sort of reasonable money , it'll be a master stroke.

  17. The pie eater from Sutton was on a par Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Good set of results for us . Everton aren't really catchable,and even if we did an early start to next season beckons 7th place club. West Brom & Ham losing good news for 8th. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. If they're going up I'd rather they did it in 3rd than via play offs. Imagine the nauseating coverage of a Wembley win and the Portsmyths that will be born that day Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Exactly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Don't be a chump where have I said there hasn't been cuts . There hasn't been big enough cuts and we've had the mildest form of austerity imaginable. Pinkos like you fall for all the pony chucked about. We haven't had anything like the austerity the Irish suffered. Debt is going up, we are spending too much money. You maybe happy with that and believe all the pony about austerity, but I'm not and I don't. Deficit deniers like you are quite happy running up bills for future generations to pay off. In peacetime our debt is shocking and needs reducing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. "Club for a fiver", brilliant film . Legend that is John Sitton. "Bring your dinner" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. It's because we've just got 2 basically social democrat parties. We haven't had a Tory Government since Maggie & a proper labour one since Callaghan. The pinkos have taken over. Osborne's deficit reduction plan was just Darlings, but it suited labour to shout about cuts . This suited the Torys because the great unwashed believed they were cutting, and were fiscally responsible , when the truth is the complete opposite. We've been conned, we've had a tiny mild dose of austerity, certainly nothing anywhere near what was needed. We haven't even got inflation to shrink our debts and our growth is pitiful so we can't grow out way out of it. Our generation is handing a poisoned chalice to our children & their children Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. When are we going to get a Tory budget. Lower taxes, smaller state & lowering debt. As for the NI issue. Isn't it time NI & income tax was merged. It's just goes into one big pot. Of course the reason it won't happen is because OAP's vote & OAP's don't pay NI, whereas they pay income tax. Can't have rich pensioners facing a tax hike when they vote in great numbers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. I have Sky, BT & a ST. I go to about 10 away games a year. I use kodi to watch about half a dozen away games that I don't go to or aren't on sky/bt. If those games were on via legal subscription I'd buy it. The premier league need to move into the 21st century . I very much doubt attendances will be affected by putting every game on live via a subscription . Games on tv are sell outs week in week out & people watch streams and watch sky , why would that change and start affecting live attendances ? Banning streams won't make people go to games , because they'd have gone if they're wanted to or could of anyway rather than watch a stream. I doubt there's one person who'll say " now it's not streamed, I'll go to the game " . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
