I'm not questioning homework itself, only the amount of it which to me seems too high for an eleven year old and far more than I got at her age IIRC. I do agree with what you say though because although my daughter is very bright she does have issues with each of those points.

My daughter started Secondary school back in September and she's doing very well. However, what has amazed me is the amount of homework she gets. This week she has had 16 separate pieces of work to do. Even these past couple of days with the school closed the teachers have posted homework for the kids on the school website. Today she has even been given homework for Drama and PE FFS, I kid you not. Ok, the PE homework is to make a poster detailing 10 rules of football so I'll enjoy helping her out with it, but all of this distracts from the important core subjects. Any teachers out there willing to explain themselves?

He's not a Saints fan, Newcastle fan I believe. My mate is one of his two uncles who use to take him to Saints a lot when he was younger. Sam Vokes is a massive Saints fan, my mate was telling me how funny it was seeing a pro footballer getting so excited about Saints going to Wembley last year.

I've just puked over the laptop!

Dutch Gunderson: Who are you and how did you get in here? Frank Drebin: I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith. After seeing Airplane I couldn't watch The Poseidon Adventures without laughing.

Yes, but isn't the point of most chants to wind up the opposition. The fact that most Brighton fans are hetero means that it annoys them all the more. On the subject of chants my favourite was the 'wotsit' one aimed at Dean Lewington from Franchise FC.

Am I the only one that still finds them funny? Does that make me homophobic? I think they are harmless fun, unlike racist chants which are offensive and a big no no.

Went to the game on Saturday with my Middlesborough supporting mate. I said to him that Puncheon would score against them. Have to say that Holmes was excellent when he came on.

I'd go for the fat one!

I wrote him a love letter, does that count? Didn't get a reply though.

No, Lallana can go right wing, Dickson or Holmes left. Sorry, but much as I feel sorry for Puncheon as I hate to see any player get booed, he simply has not been performing this season. Even last season I felt he was a 'luxury' player, clearly talented but so often failing to deliver.

It's been fun in this league but two seasons will be enough for me. I do feel embarrassed by our position. Much as I like Bournemouth to do well I hate to see them (and Brighton) above us.

Dickson in for Harding next week. Jaidi, Morgan and Lambert are a big disappointment for me this season. Time to let them go in January. Lambert is being picked on his reputation from last season.

Our dear friend Leftback posted this the other day: LR and DB(who he!) were in cobham today conducting an interview for chief scout. cobham where chelsea train, bit of an obvious place if were nicking one of their staff!!! And now I have just see this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/9181246.stm 2+2=?

Fine, I will continue to visit the US because like you I love the place whilst leaving you to get ever more angry.

I'm fairly certain that Lee Barnard is not the Managing Director but who is this ITK bloke?

You must be far more intelligent than me because to be quite honest I haven't got a clue what you are talking about.

I read an awful lot of nonsense on this forum and rarely bother to respond but this statement is as ridiculous as it is offensive. I can't believe you really meant it.

I think you are completely right.

Lucy Verasamy (the weather girl) does it for me.

Is LB the new StuRomseySaint who I see is making lots of new freinds on The Ugly.

No, I have no information, just my opinion. In the games I have seen this season Harding although by no means bad has not been playing as well as last season. I think Dickson may be a better player and would like to see him get a run starting in the cup game on Saturday.

Agree with Dickson coming in for Harding who for me has not been playing as well this season. I would keep Oxo on the bench as an impact player. I would like to see us play 4-5-1 away sometimes (against the better teams) with Chaplow coming in for Puncheon.

Completely agree, but we will see!
