Saints 4 Newcastle 0 - Post Match Comments
Lord Duckhunter replied to St Chalet's topic in The Saints
Great performance , not quite as free flowing as Newcastle, hull games last season , but pretty damn good for a new side. Steve Davis back to his best was my motm -
Alex Ferguson can't vote, but if he registered in time ,Jake Sinclair would be able to.

I read that of the 11 Scots who started against Germany the other night, only 1 is able to vote.

Lol. That reminds me of the Peterborough game in the promotion season. I wrote a letter to the school about my lads dental appointment. The deputy head was his tutor and when he handed the letter in he said " Peterborough have some great dentists" .

I thought it had been established by the BBC that Cameron met with the retailers who came out and mentioned prices. I heard on 5live that a number 10 spokesmen admitted they had met in number 10 the past couple of days, but denied Cameron asked then for the statements. One hell of a ****ing coincidence that is. Salmonds going to have a lot of his personal life checked out over the next few days. The establishment are closing ranks. I dread to think what stunts the establishment are going to pull when it comes to an EU referendum .

I'm not a big fan of that plum Heffer, but he's hit the nail very firmly on the jocks head here. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-2750071/Why-don-t-tell-Scots-shove-In-personal-view-Mail-disagrees-SIMON-HEFFER-says-fear-English-people-think.html

I like Montpellier , But Dublin is tops for me.

They CAN keep the £ , any country can use it. The issue isn't whether they can use the £ the issue is whether it is a viable to use it without fiscal union . And without the BoE acting as lender of last resort.

I saw Pullis play for Boscombe a few times and he was as hard as nails and a dirty little ****.

If its a yes, it'll be down to the pro union labour party being unable to convince their supporters of the case. Wasn't it George Robertson that said devolution had killed Scottish Nationalism stone dead. The head of the no campaign is labour, his right hand man is labour, a labour shadow cabinet minister is touring with his iron bru box giving 100 speeches in 100 days, they've wheeled out the last Scottish prime minister who is labour, labour has the most Scottish MPs and the most voters, yet its all the Tories fault the campaigns a cock up.......I think your anti Tory bias is clouding your judgement. In fact it all started to fall apart after Darlings second debate, are you going to pin that on the Tories

If you're going to lecture people and take a holier than thou attitude it's proberly not a good idea to use that word. Having a severely disabled nephew I find it offensive ( as I'm sure others do ) -
The line that the Tories have no mandate in Scotland is clearly nonsense. At the last election the SNP polled 19.9% of the vote and the Tory party 16.7% . Not a great deal of difference , but one that's exaggerated by the FPTP system. In 2005 under Michael Howard the Tories were within 2 % points of the SNP. There must be vast areas of the country that don't vote SNP , but are they crying into their Buckfast about getting a "government they didn't vote for " It's also complete nonsense to try and portray it as a Tory / Scotland thing based on recent election performance , it wasn't until 17 years ago that the Nats polled more votes than the Tories in Scotland . Whose to say what the results will be in 17 years time. If they're going to throw hundreds of years of Union away because they don't like the modern Tory party , they deserve everything Greek that's coming to them. I just hope Westminster tells them to fck off when they come round shaking their buckets when it goes tits up

As an ex retail manager I came across this plenty of times . We had packs with % free, that then went on offer. Unless the product is short coded you take the % product off sale and add them to your back stock. You then sell the normal bottles at the offer price . When the offer ends , you put your % product back on sale. That way your OSH customer gets the perception that you've always got offers on his favourite tipple , which creates a bit of loyalty and you stop this sort of nonsense happening over a couple of quid. The manager of this store is clearly an idiot or doesn't know enough about his stock and offers

Anybody who thinks that Cameron could have got away with not endorsing a vote is clearly deluded. Once the Nats won a majority a vote was inevitable , no matter which party was in government . Cameron must take some of the blame for a wishy washy pigs ear of a campaign, but then again he's the worst sort of Tory , a soaking wet modern day Ted Heath. Labour and the lib/dumbs have been woeful , where is John Reid , Charlie Kennedy , why have the no campaign concentrated on trying to frighten people and now trying to bribe them. I so hope the clowns in Westminster run the eu referendum the same way when that comes . If I was running the no campaign I'd send Michael Gove ( a sweaty i believe ) up there everyday, send Boris as he's bound to foul it up, send Cleggy up to Edinburgh to talk to students , roger Helmer would play a role and id get The duke of Edinburugh to attend a few hustings. As a " I hope they bugger off " non voter , I guess my " plan" is a bit far fetched , but we've had the next beat thing , a load of elitest plums and champagne socialists lecturing and trying to bully the voters . If anything sums up the political pygmies that run Westminster it's this No campaign. The funny thing is the thing that's going to defeat the yes people is the very thing they hate the most. The Tories . Poll after poll shows the 17% of Tory voters in Scotland soiled in their support, where as labour are struggling to hold up their vote.
-
Although there are fixed term parliaments , the Tory leader ( which I doubt will be Cameron) will have to be able to command a majority .I would imagine the lib/dumbs will pull out of any formal coalition and just prop up a minority government on a supply and confidence basis limping on to May '15 , when the fun really begins.

This is what Yasmin Alibhai-Brown , a well known Muslim leftie said in the independent "I partly blame the families and communities. Too many Asian mothers spoil their boys , undervalue their girls and demean their daughter in laws. Within some Asian British circles the west is immoral and it is OK to take their girls and ruin them further". She went on to say some of her fiercest arguments are with Asians that hold this " disgusting" view. -
God , I do hope the opinion polls are right and they bugger off . I'm sick to death of Jocks banging on about getting the "Government they didn't elect" , well you've got more chance of going to the moon in a shoe box than electing a labour MP round here, but we still ended up with Broon and Tony ( two jocks btw) . I can't work out whether they are ignorant of the electrol system in the uk or just enjoy complaining , maybe a mixture of both . I would also love to see this Socialist caring utopia they are going to build , although I suspect they'll be back cap in hand within a decade. Not the Celtic tiger, more like a pussy. At the end of the day , the unionists have made a complete and utter Horlicks of the campaign . Salmond's basic model is flawed in the extreme , yet the political pygmies charged with protecting the union are clueless chumps . And these clowns are running our lives? I think they'll pull back from the edge , as they've got Devo Max. Therefore , all us English have to look forward to is the wonderful thought of their faces when the rest of the uk votes to leave the EU. Perhaps they can have another go and we'll end up rid of the EUSSR and the whining jocks, now that's a lovely thought. All we'll need then is to get rid of the German family in Buck House and we'll be a great democracy

Salmond needs to learn the definition of independence , because what he's proposing sure as hell ain't it. What on earth will Scotland have control of if they follow his model. You can't keep the pound and have control of your fiscal policy, their borders will be controlled by the EU. Their head of state will be an unelected toff from a German family. Their Vat will be subject to EU limits, a large % of their laws decided in Brussells and I would I imagine that for all the Nats protestation , NATO will pretty much run their defence policy. What on earth is the difference between Devo max and their version of "independence " , because I'm struggling to see any . The only difference I can see is they'll not have us paying for their unaffordable nhs and public service freebies

Amazing , seems pretty conclusive to me.

To be a top flight footballer you have to have absolute belief in your own ability. He won't be thinking " I'm not really good enough for Man City" , he will think he is , and will believe that he can get better and certainly be ahead of Dzeko and Jovetic.

I don't know the exact law on this , but having once been in retail management, I'm surprised tesco took this line. They were always pretty good and were held up as an example to follow around doing what's right for the customer. However, that was a number of years ago, so maybe they've changed. I would be amazed if there wasn't some sort of duty manager there, I'm pretty sure their own policy will be there must be a certain level of management on the premises during trading. He/she were probably in the office doing **** all, which does happen a lot in retail. It all depends how far you want to take it. If you write to the store and cc in head office ( although the best bet is the regional manager, if you can get that detail) and I'm pretty sure they'll send you a good will gesture , maybe a £10 or £5. Particularly if you go big on the staff being disinterested and the pricing being misleading. Make a big song and dance about being embarrassed in front of other customers . It really depends on whether you want to be srsed to spend time doing it.

So pap , what is the best way to store these photos? If they're behind some lock and hide app on a phone or tablet and not uploaded to any cloud is that safe? I'd hate the thought of Mrs duck plastered all over the internet, particularly if blokes were eating their breakfast at the time of stumbling across the pictures.

Fox Sport reckon we are losers in the transfer window

I lived and worked in FLA 25 years ago and there were plenty of " Americans" that got it and understood it. Most were second generation immigrants or illegals , but the local league was competitive and the state cup an extremely high standard ( we reached the semi final twice). It was starting to take off amongst the middle class whites , one reason being parents feeling it was safer than gridiron. If it ever took off within the poor and African American communities, then they really could be world beaters . I guess , basketball is just as simple and cheap to play so I doubt it ever will. -
I must be getting old because I don't know who any of these chicks are. I read somewhere that the bird from Cory was involved but no pictures have appeared yet, which is a shame. I know who she is , so that could be interesting.
