Indeedy.

I've never understood why anyone would pay to watch a comedian on a massive stage. Small gigs in clubs can be edgy, tense and, without wishing to sound pretentious, somewhat artistic. However a man on a stage half a mile away talking does not need to be witnessed live. Buy the DVD - it will be cheaper and you'll enjoy it more. Alternatively wait a couple of years and it'll be on Channel 4 for free.

No, I didn't, I just thought it was a rubbish point.

Yep, we are lucky to have him.

Lol.

Like this... ?

Paxman is loving this on Newsnight. Bascially just said he's lying when he said he misheard her.

You haven't read the thread have you?

Lol. Or, it's a club extending an option and we had no say in it?

Red face time for AA.

It's a no-brainer for Reading. The lad's probably on about £750 a week. By ensuring they retain him under contract they can probably expect to get about £200-300k if someone buys him. If it went to the compensation tribunal they would probably get about 20-30% of that given that he has only been there for one year and hasn't played higher than League One. So for a manaegeable expenditure of around £40-50k over a season, which as people have said can be largely recouped through a loan deal easily, they have given themselves the prospect of making an extra £200k or so on any transfer.

The power base is not changing. Saints have remained the biggest club despite being two divisions lower. Not that it matters, if he can't see who has the brighter future then he is either ignorant or stupid.

Are you serious?

Although, of course, now he's been caught he doesn't think she's a bigot anymore.

Er, right. Which concurs with what Nick Robinson said. She said she had a postal vote for Labour ready to go but now she won't be voting.

Land Rovers for Ulrich van Gobbel Pints of bitter or pies for David Hurst A pocket hankerchief for Rupert Crutches/bandages for Perry Groves Step ladders for Lee Todd... Were all popular ones.

I'm sure if he is considered good enough he'll get a chance in the team. If he is considered not good enough yet but with potential he might get on the bench a few times (Oxlade-Chamberlain, McNish etc) or loaned out. If he is considered not good enough we'll get rid. It's harsh but that's the way of the world. I don't think you can take too much from performances in the reserves as unfortunately we play against a lot of dross in the reserve leagues now.

It's like Brass Eye.

PMSL Presumably because the players are not particularly fulfilled by the prospect of a lap of honour in front of 12k paying customers in the final match at Fratton?

Great post.

Bit embarrassed that Southampton is one of the few red spots in the south.

No, no, you're right. It all points towards a conspiracy. I can't believe I didn't see it sooner.

I would hope that there is absolutely no chance they are on anything like £3k a week each!
