Inheritance tax is terrible and should be abolished. Completely unfair.

What you saw tonight was a manager with a game plan and a group of players (Terry excepted) committing to that game plan and willing to show bottle and nerve to do so. This is precisely why you will not see England win anything any time soon.

Lol.

**** me. I can't be bothered with anything more than that. You bemoan the lack of meritocracy in inheritance and then you advocate divying up the world equally. If you can't see how stupid that logic is then there really is no point carrying on.....

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2132750/Wales-footballer-Ched-Evans-raped-teenager-drunk-consent-told-judge-thrown-away-successful-career-jailed-years.html My opinion is that "rape" is a totally inappropriate charge for this, unless the girl was actually unconscious at the time of the smashing. There seems to be no suggestion she went with them against her will, no suggestion any physical force was used and no suggestion she asked them to stop at any point. To categorise this sort of thing in the same bracket as committing a predatory violent sexual assault on someone who has indicated no willingness is absurd. Had she no interest in going on the lash that night and getting smashed by a lad she would not have found herself in the hotel. That doesn't seem to be in dispute. Rather than shifting the burden on to the lads to make some sort of judgment as to the mental state of the bird, the responsibility should rest squarely on the bird IMO to maintain a state of awareness where she is capable of exercising her discretion should she so wish. I don't see why the bird being hammered should shift the burden of discerning her thoughts onto the smasher; it should remain with the smashee and her thoughts are evidenced externally by her actions. If you have a propensity to sleep with people you don't want to when drunk, then don't get drunk. It may be that Evans snuck in whilst she was unconscious and slipped her the sausage. Clearly that's not on. That is rape. So maybe that's what happened. Either way, you can't trust a man who tweets that he thinks J-Lo is great.

Cheers for that! Nice one.

Brizzle have an easier couple of games than the Skates do. And I think the Skates have been very lucky in their last three results. They will go down. Chill and enjoy

Quality.

Doesn't sound like, "no more points penalties" to me.... ------------------------------- Ben, We thank you for contacting The Football League on this matter, however until all the circumstances surrounding the club’s exit from administration become clear, The League is unable to make any official comment at this time.

From: benjii Sent: 02 April 2012 23:00 To: FL Subject: RE: A fair playing field Dear Football League, I posed a question below and was wondering if you wouldn't mind answering please. To save you reading the previous correspondence I'll restate the question as simply as possible: If a club exits administration with a CVA and subsequently fails to make the payments due under the CVA, and its administrator states categorically that it will not be doing so, should it receive a points deduction? If the answer is not "yes" then will you agree that this is a puzzling and perverse state of affairs? If a club does not obtain a CVA when exiting administration it is given a stern additional penalty. If it obtains a CVA but subsequently fails to honour it, should not the same penalties apply? Thanks and kind regards Ben

The fact that I have never heard the name "Samantha Brick" before reminds that I am very lucky to have had a private education and to have a superb career. I have no idea who she is but I am confident that I ought to have no wish to. Good luck to those of you without such fortune. Believe in your capability to better yourselves and work very hard and you may too free yourselves from the shackles of popular under-culture (for it is my assumption that such is the malady we are dealing with).

If Kelvin and Jos aren't in the top 50 then I'm the blonde girl with the nervous disposition, cute nose, pert buds and strange vagina that I just saw in The Griffin.

His distribution is not poor. FFS, do you actually watch? You reckon he can't find a target? FFS!!!! When he kicks it to Lambert it goes straight to his head 9 times out of 10 and is usually hit quite flat making it more dangerous, rather than being a big floaty one that is hard to direct. His distribution is as accurate as any Saints 'keeper I can remember. He's not great at kicking from hand but he rarely does. If he has a dodginess to his distribution it is that he occasionally takes a bit of a risk but I think Nigel is happy to tolerate that as part of our approach to building the play. To say his long kicks lack accuracy is just plain wrong.

To be fair, if its in trust then that's quite a plausible scenario. The trustees would make the decisions, not the beneficiaries.

You were wrong you silly gimp.

Why do you think that? The only public reference to the shareholder's loan that I've seen was in our accounts which said it was not due within 5 years. That doesn't mean it is for a term of 5 years (it might be, I don't know).

As others have said, there are loads of the usual chain bars and clubs but the stand-out facet of Bristol is the number of interesting and independent bars it has (Apple, Corrie Tap, The Rummer, Milk Thistle, Haus Bar, Hyde & Co, Illusions.....), although whether those are the right sort of places for a stag weekend is debatable! It also has an underground scene if that's your sort of thing. It makes you realise that Southampton has virtually nothing worth mentioning. You could start in the city centre or, as someone said, start off in Clifton and head down to town. If it's a nice day, you can't beat a beer in the garden of the White Lion at the Avon Gorge Hotel in Clifton Village. From there, Corrie Tap, Clifton Triangle, Park Street, then Waterfront would be a decent pub crawl (and you would be near the strip clubs, should you so desire). Wherever you go, make sure someone contacts an end venue well in advance and ensures you are on the guest list. Also try to get a queue jump sorted. Otherwise you will have a 'mare getting into any clubs at all. Oh, and if your mates are poor/tight, they will probably find it quite an expensive place.

It's a good time to be promoted as the quality in the Prem is probably the worst it's ever been.

I'm surprised at the content of the words as I have never seen it suggested anywhere credible (and, as it happens, I don't really consider the Mirror to be a credible source either) that "an horrific attack" took place - my recollection of earlier reports is that they were far more equivocal. The grammar is fine. I have no idea what happened that night but given that the police investigated and didn't bring any charges against anyone I am surprised to see it described in a newspaper as "an horrific attack". It may well have actually been an horrific attack. I don't know. Anyway, best of luck to Dan.

"An horrific attack"?

Not in this case it isn't. You just need to find a match where Guly was on the bench. Shouldn't be too ****ing hard. Anyway, Guly was very good in the second half but wasn't involved enough in the first. He did, however, have a far better game than say, Lambert.

29: first match was an FA Cup tie against Oxford which a bit of Googling tells me was on 27 January 1990 (I would have been 7). Razor Ruddock scored the goal with a header from a corner. I think we were pretty poor that day though! I think I started going very regularly a couple of years later and had an ST in the lower East Stand for much of my youth - starting in the Junior Saints section (cold metal benches, nice) and then moving right next to the away fans once I got a bit older. I remember getting absolutely soaked in my England Italia '90 shell-suit one day. I stopped going regularly to matches once I moved away to uni at the age of 18 but obviously still went to as many as I could. I've since started going again to virtually every home match and have had an ST for the last two seasons. Been to quite a few aways - a relegation or two certainly boosts your list of grounds visited! What struck me most during the recent years when the club was in turmoil was how lucky I was to start supporting Saints when I did. Yes, we had some poor years in the top flight but actually there weren't too many occasions when we were in the mire come the last few weeks of the season. And yes, I missed Keegan, Ball, the Cup win etc.. but I saw the ZDS Final (old Wembley), the FA Cup Final (Cardiff), the JPT Final (new Wembers) went to matches at The Dell and SMS, saw Le Tissier, Shearer, Flowers, Ekelund, Dodd, Palmer, Pahars, Svennson, Niemi, Beattie, Walcott, Bale, David Lee etc.... I saw us beat Man U, Liverpool, Spurs etc fairly regularly (but never, it seemed, Arsenal - I must have seen Ian Wright score about 20 goals against us!). I felt so sorry for those nippers who were being taken along to SMS for the first time and had to witness some of the ****e served up under Wigley, Redknapp and Poortvleit. No doubt nostalgia clouds the memory somewhat, and those people whose only Saints home experience is based at SMS will probably share equally evocative memories of that place, but some of the games I went to at The Dell will live with me me forever (the Matty match against Newcastle under Ball, beating Newcastle 3-1 when losing 1-0 after about 85 minutes, Matty's hat-trick against Liverpool, the 6-3, the 3-1, Matty's free-kick against Wimbledon, my first derby when we spanked the Phew in the cup, Doddsy taking a red card for the team against West Ham, the victory over Everton when Pahars scored, a come-back against Blackburn, hearing Man City had made a hash of it under Ball to keep us up). There is also less steam at SMS when you take a **** at a winter match than there was at The Dell. Football has changed - I've seen Saints play top tier matches at Kenilworth Road and Plough Lane FFS (Benali's "tackle" on Fashanu - comedy). Mental! I consider myself fortunate to straddle the epochs.

at Villa and QPR. Paying those sort of sums for chumps like Hughes and McLeish. ****ing hell. So stupid.

Oooh, the banks "called in" their loans. Corp's mantra. Wtf is that supposed to mean? Banks can only "call in" a committed loan if you are in default FFS. If they were funding the club with an uncommitted facility of £30m (ie an overdraft) then: 1 - that's odd lending; and 2 - more fool them for taking that risk. They should've put a proper facility in place. The man is utterly risible (Action Man and Storrie).

WTF would you want a draw? Cardiff have about a 2% chance of finishing above us. Cardiff win please.
