I don't get all this no celebration of goals. I just about get it if you're a legend, maybe if Rickie returned, but journeymen like Phillips who was just a player passing through. He's rewriting history here, he couldn't wait to get away. Let's give him plenty of clog and he should stop being a soft **** and rub our noses in it if he scores.

Yeah, let's get rid of all these no marks making millions out of shares and invest our pension pots in your mate the chippy.We could also give everyone who is unemployed a job in a tractor factory.

The other thing that needs to be factored in is the rises prior to (god forbid) a labour government.If prices go higher than they would have, how's that going to help? These private companies run rings round governments, particularly left leaning ones. Plus, the effect this will have on the man in the streets pension as I'm sure some of our pension funds will be invested in this sector. There's also a very good chance that this will be challenged as there's some doubt that European laws will allow it. More costs bought upon the poor old taxpayer. I'm all for giving the working man some help,but take £6 less out of his pay packet a month, instead of trying to interfere with the free market. We could pay for it by making middle class families pay for their offsprings school dinners.

If you're going to go on national TV complaining about profits, surely you should have some sort of knowledge of what those profits are. Its basic research surely. The thing is Red Ed was energy minister, when he could of done something, he didn't. Bills went up , energy companies made profits. Why has this suddenly occurred to him? Even a dreamer like you can see what's going to happen when a price freeze is announced. What on earth do you think the energy companies are going to do with prices in the next year? What are people wanting to invest going to do? When asked by Adam boulton whether energy bills would be lower in real terms under labour than they are now, Red Ed was unable to answer. Anyone who can't see that this is a gimmick, proberly thought Michael foot was a great leader. What's the next policy announcement, free beer?

That's because its easy to discredit. Like all of labour's new eye catching voter friendly bribes, they're built on sand. You only had to watch Andrew Neil monster twigg and Mrs balls on the daily politics today to see that. Twigg,banging on about energy companies profits was challenged by Neil "what were their profits". Twigg, didn't know, just kept repeating it. Then said " everybody knows centrica made vast profits" , " what were they?" Neil asked. "I don't have that to hand" replied the education spokesman, do some homework before coming on and moralising on energy profits suggested Neil helpfully. Neil then pointed out that tesco made more profit than them, "why not a pricing policy for food, as the big supermarkets are making massive profits". As for Mrs balls asked about firemen and their strike, kept answering about policemen. Does anybody seriously vote for these clowns?

WOW, Just WOW. Has there ever been a period with so many political pygmies and illiterate economic arguments. Does anybody in the establishment realise how much debt we have and why do all 3 establishment parties seem to think more Government intervention is the answer. In the past 7 days we've had free kids meals for middle class and rich parents, "wrap around child care" , more bank taxes and now Government interference with private companies prices. Does Ed think he's hitting their profits, as Andrew Neil pointed out to Caroline Flint, in California the energy companies just cut investment in infrastructure which led to power cuts following a pricing policy. This is not going to come out of their margin, and it's telling that some energy companies share price went up following Milliband's announcement. Where on earth are these clowns going to get the money from for these pre election bribes, that's right, our money. OH no, of course, it's going to be a bank levy, a mansion tax and increasing the top rate of tax. Surely they can see that if you take more capital out of the banks, it comes at the expense of lending, lending that we need to boost the economy. Mansion tax, who decides the value of a house, are they basing it on existing council tax levels, or will there need to be an expensive revaluation of every property? When will this money start coming in, because the spending commitments start from day one.It's easy to throw around talk of a "mansion tax", but it's really not as simple as saying "you live in a posh house, pay up". Somebody needs to value these properties, which takes time and money. And of course the old Labour favourite from the 70's , raising of the top rate of tax, the answer to all our prayers. Money that the Labour party has spent about 6 times over. We've had 2 conferences and all I can think is "do they really think we're that stupid". I've no doubt the Tory one will follow a similar vain. I just hope that somewhere in my children's generation, there's a politician who can sort this mess out, because what we're handing down to them is a bloody Portsmouth FC style economy.

Woy has made it pretty clear he'll go with 4-3-3 most games, with Rooney, sturidge and wellbeck as the 3. Leaving Gerrard, lampard and Wilshire centrally . He might change it around against stronger sides, bringing milner in to close off a flank, just like capello did a lot and man city did on Sunday. Just can't see where a tidy ball playing wide man with little pace fits in. I seem to recall a thread "kelvin for England".

I think maybe we're a bit harsh laughing at the historic chairs bunged in the skip. After all it was the previous regime and now they're community owned mistakes like that are a thing of the past. I know for a fact that the PST have learnt from that mistake and rather than chucking out valuable Portsmouth chairs, they are now using them around the club. Trust members can now take turns sitting on them.

Well, seeing as we need some width and pace I'd hope he'd say yes, hes certainly an upgrade on puncheon . The best time to pick up a quality player is when they're in a dip. In fact that's the only chance we'd get of picking up young, cause if he's on his game there's not a hope in hell of us signing him. I've seen every game bar wba this season and until sat have not been particlary impressed with Adam this season. I didn't think he was that great last year. Its great he's come through the ranks, has been loyal and plays the game in an exciting manner, but some perspective is needed on here. Personally I think if Gaston gets his ****e together, forget about battling for England place, he'll be facing a real struggle to get in our side.

I think the Wenger quote of "everybody thinks they have the prettiest wife" is pretty apt with some of the comments on here.

If saints offered a swap Young for Adam, what do you think Moyes would say? Someone reckons he's on a par with Wilshire, perhaps Wenger is up for a swap deal.

Rubbish, there's plenty of doubt. Take off your red and white tinted glasses, Young is off form , but never in a month of sundays will a top 4 club sign AL.

****ing hell, he's had one decent game this season (which was Saturday) and all of a sudden he's better than Young & Milner, and on a par with Wilshire. Look at the managers who have picked Milner, Sir Bobby Robson, Martin O Neil, Fabio Capello, Woy Hodgson, are they all idiots?

You've got Lord Rennard running around sexually harassing females, with Cleggy hushing it up, Gordon Brown and his "macho culture", yet the BBC concentrate on a bar room buffoon and a dodgy "joke" he made. Every party has idiot's yet the establishment love a UKIP "story". It just goes to show how rattled they are.

That's because they'd been sat on by a load of Skates over the years, the cost of getting rid of the fishy smell dramatically reduced the value.

It would be the home side that benefits. The club have amended the ticketing system because of abuse. Older fans were buying kids tickets and there was also abuse of the priority system. If an over 65 can't make the game, then an adult can not use his season ticket number. I can't see what the issue is, surely its only fair that the swapping of numbers is cut down.

The stupid thing is the guy who I made the quip about was offended that she complained, but it didn't make a blind bit of difference. Someone was offended, whether I meant to offend or whether the person I "offended" took offence, someone did and that's all that counts nowadays.

I would play Davis instead of Lallana away from home. The formation looks good on paper, but bedding it in could be a problem. Pre season was the time to get the 3 at the back playing together, but if anyone can an international centre half should be able to. The other issue is injuries. Whilst JRod , Rameriez & Cork could easily fit in, I cant see Fox or Chambers being wing backs, and god help us if Jos has to play in a 3.

Perhaps gay's could give this one a miss and go to the Russian one instead.

Some people on here are missing the point and don't seem to understand where the Country is when it comes to offensive behaviour. In the Britain of 2013 to cause offense is defined as anybody taking offense, it doesn't have to be anyone involved with the incident. Therefore if anybody takes offense at this chanting, then it is offensive whether the person it is aimed at is offended, or whether the person doing the chanting is chanting about himself. If I called someone at work a yid, and somebody who overheard was offended, whether or not the Jewish person was offended is irrelevant. My job would most definitely be on the line. I had a situation where I made a joke about one of my employees which he thought was funny. Days later a women complained and there was an investigation which could have led to disciplinary action. She dropped it, provided I apologised to the guy, so I ended up apologising to a guy who neither wanted nor needed an apology. I was left in no doubt by our HR department that the guy I joked about's feelings didn't matter, I had caused offense to someone and that was the only consideration. I'm not saying this is right, and I'm not saying that I agree with it, but if people are offended then it is offensive. It's only the fact that there's thousands of people chanting it which makes it unlikely anyone will face prosecution. However, if anyone did, saying "well I'm Jewish myself" or "most people aren't offended" will be not be a defence.

Highlights the smug attitude of the BBC who seem to consider themselves a cut above everyone else. Clearly airing a programme like this could be prejudicial to a fair trail. Had the daily mail ran such a scandalous story prior to any sort of trial , the lefties would be going off their nut. The whole thing stinks and treats south Africa like some sort of colonial outpost, incapable of giving a chap a fair trial. This is certainly not the sort of programme that should be funded by a poll tax. Somebody needs to sort this mess of a corporation out once and for all.

The problem is that if you give it to the best candidate every time, then Europe will end up with a disproportionate amount of tournaments. As a principle I think sharing it out is a good one, its just the corrupt manner of the sharing that's let FIFA down.

All im saying is that the middle east should has as much right hosting the world cup as europe or south America. If that means playing in winter, then provided that is made clear during the bid process, what's the issue. The principle should be that every single member of FIFA has the right to bid , and in some instances a winter tournament may be the result of that bid. To say the tournament can only be played in summer, excludes some nations from bidding. Its up to FIFA delegates to decide following an open and.transparent bidding process. Hiding the impossibility of a summer world cup behind a load of pony about air conditioned stadium ECT, was not open and transparent, although I've no doubt the delegates knew that a winter world cup was inevitable all along. Australia would have been a better choice, but then it would have been a better choice than Russia. The issue im arguing about is a winter world cup, not the pros and cons of the best bid.

The clues in the title, World cup. Or is it the World (excluding certain regions of it) cup.
