What part of Nick Clegg's commitment to work with either side did they not understand? When they went into the ballot box, they knew that Clegg had made it clear what would happen if the Tories had most votes in a hung Parliament. Did they think he lied, how can they feel "let down" when it was made perfectly clear what Clegg's position was? As for Cable, this speech is just a sop to the sandal wearers in their party. A bone thrown to them to make the great flip flopper look tough at conference time. He'll go along with the Coalition agenda, because he wants the trappings of Govt. He is the latest in a long line of leftie hypocrites that have inhabited British politics the past 30 years.

If it was down to people like me to start the singing, or come up with some original songs, the ground would be deathly silent.Fortunatly in the past there's been people who can start it up and come up with some original ideas.I'm not so sure that's the case nowadays. Even OWTS doesn't seem to boom around the ground like it used to. I watched the Stoke game at the weekend and even they seemed to sing it louder and longer than we do. There doesn't appear to be many original songs about these days, with songs just recycled from Club to Club. Look at the Torres one, it's Rickey Lambert, Svylain Banks, Ricardo Fuller ect ect ect. Great song, but hardly original now.I find the whole "we're going to win 5-4" and "we want 1" a bit embaressing, in a "look at us we're mad" sort of way. There doesn't seem to be much signing from all parts of the ground, but that's hardly the Northam's fault. Would love to hear OWTS and perhaps Woolston Ferry sung by all 4 ends and then the Northam doing the rest, with us oldies joining in now and then. As for the Northam, personally I dont like watching from that end. Some of the language and behaviour annoys me. However, I was younger once and I'm sure I annoyed a hell of a lot of people. Dont try to change it, they have as much right to watch their Club as anyone, and if you dont like it sit somewhere else. I find the constant moaning about different types of supporters distasteful and certainly something that has got worse in recent times.That applies to all sides of the support. I resent having to stand up to prove I love the Club, but equally resent people trying to preach to young youths how they should watch their Club. Let's just live and let live.There are different stands for different types, so people have a choice.

He flatters to deceive and has done since coming to the Club.If he's the answer, then I dread to think what the question is. I'm not a betting man, but even I'd have a flutter that he's out injured before Xmas.

Had we beaten Plymouth and Orient then you may have a point. Those games followed the same pattern as the Rochdale and Colchester games and we didn't play particulary well in beating Boscombe. The Bristol Rovers game is increasingly looking like a fluke, a one off, when put in context of the rest of the season so far. This is Pardews team and his players, and they're playing **** poor.Dont give us all that pony about them being demoralised at his sacking, players are used to playing for different Managers, its part of the modern game. Are the players as fit as they should be? Did we hit the ground running? That was Pardews job, not Cortese's. We may have a point or two more, but surely nobody thinks we'd be up near the top if Pardew had stayed. Personally I believe Pardew was going through the motions, ala George Burley, waiting for a job to come up, so he could get away. The more I see of Pardew's team this season, the more I'm glad we made a change.

The Taylor report missed a trick when it came to this, that was the time to implement safe standing. It was obviously a very raw time, but 20 years on it is possible to stand safely. Had I lost a loved one that day I may feel differently, but I believe there should be safe standing areas.

And his Dad is a Football Manager

If you took the games his Father picked the team out, he's played 20 games in 7 years. The only Manager apart from Jan/Lowe to sign him is his Dad. He has been on loan at 4 Clubs that were't Managed by his Dad, and none of them have extended the loan, or signed him. I dont really think you need to watch him to realise the reason he's made a living as a Footballer.

Balls went to a private school, then onto Oxford and Harvard. He was an economic adviser to Gordon Brown from 1994 till he was elected in 2004. He is the perfect example of a career politiian as you'll ever find.

Andy Burnham was the only one who had the balls to admit there would have been cuts and job losess if Labour had got in. The others are away in a world, where the state can continue provide jobs for everyone and cuts are "taking money out of the ecomony".

Cheers, last I heard he'd given up playing live as his wife had passed away.Defo try and get along from Poole for that one. Looks like Alf Garnett nowadays though.

Paul McCartney-Joe Robbie Stadium & Southampton Gaumont, 12 years apart but 2 fantastic shows. Johnny Cash-Albert Hall, early 90's during his Rick Rubin stage. Paul Simon-BIC, 3 hours of brillant music. However the best night I ever had watching a band was Dr Feelgood, unfortunatly there was no Wilko Johnson (who I saw a few months later solo), but Lee Brilleaux was immense (RIP).Over 25 years ago, and yet after a few pints someone always says "remember that Feelgood night".I just cant believe how little recongition they get nowadays, Wilko Johnson is a legend.

Still playing sunday mornings at 46, does that me an OAF (old age Footballer)

I used to play football in the 80's with a guy whose Dad owned the 100 Club in London. About 15 years ago we were in London and popped in to see the guy (as he worked for his Dad). Sat in there was a guy who looked like Jim Bowan. My mate confirmed it was him and said he came in a lot and always got up and sung if there was a jazz band on. Sure enough he got up towards the end of the night and he was a bloody brillant singer. One of the guys with us was a bit ****ed and afterwards went up to him and said "That was Super Smashing Lovely Jim". Bowan turned round and said "**** off you w*****. He was a really good singer though.

Hey Dan, guess what, I gave Fonte's wife one last night..........

I dont know if its true or not, but from my untrained eye the players dont look as fit as the opposition this season.

Wasn't Lawrie a nobody from Grimsby?

Correct had Lambert come in as our new loan signing, we'd be saying what a load of pony he was.

They also seem to forget that Mitchell gave us permission to speak to him as well.

Haven't Man Utd been given reduced allocations at some grounds due to standing in past visits? The issue isn't standing, the issue is standing in front of a nipper who therefore can not see the game.

I thought Pardew was going through the motions towards the end of last season, and nothing that I've seen so far this season suggests any different.

He was going to Boscombe but didn't because of their transfer embargo, we were never offered him, and never showed any interest in him. That came from Tommy Killick Poole Town's Manager.

That's what I'm going to do next time, speak to stewards and get him done front. As I say we dont get to too many away games due to work, but he does enjoy visiting different grounds.

I knew online, because that's how I book. Didn't realise the same applied to phone line.

My understanding is that most Managers who have resigned in this situation have done so because their club have not allowed them to speak to another club.I dont think there's been many instances where they been allowed to speak, have agreed personal terms, but have then resigned over the compo. The compo is pretty stright forward, it's either written into the contract or is what's left on the Managers contract. I honesty believe either a deals been done and not announced yet, NC's got cold feet, or is awaiting a reply from someone else. . I can not believe we are argueing over compo for a low paid manager with less than a year left on his contract.

The other thought I had was over the home clubs stewards and police. After I moved I could see the police going into the side stand, but not getting anywhere, in fact they were pretty useless. My opinion is the home club either turn a blind eye and let people sit/stand where they want, or if they're going to insist on allocated seats then enforce sitting.Otherwise you end up with the worst of both worlds.
