This is true but I wouldn't be surprised if they can find someone willing to take it on on a Contingent Fee Arrangement (ie, no win, no fee) given the (relatively) high profile of the whole thing.

Everyone on here knows that Wotton is not in the same league as Hammond and Schneiderlin and so if we have an injury to one of those two we will either lose quality in the middle or have to stick a "winger" in there to cover which disrupts our usual game and probably weakens the wing. Everyone knows that. We all know that. Pardew knows that. It is known. We have loads of money. We sign good players. The window is open. There are no holes in our starting eleven. What on earth is there to be remotely "worried" about?

Right but our sales are up. In a recession. With an increase in prices. In the same division. Pretty good IMO.

We used to do that but sold the business IIRC before administration. I think it made a marginal profit but probably not enough to justify getting involved again now. Maybe someone on here still has one and knows more about what happened?

I've no idea if there are any other clubs who don't. I remember looking at the Exeter site for some reason and they were offering a plan but if you took it up you paid the full price so lost a renewal discount. You also paid it back pretty quickly. A cheaper option would have been to buy at the renewal price on a zero percent credit card. In most cases alternative credit is available to people. If your mate could have saved up the money with a bit more notice like you said, then I'm sure he's credit-worthy enough to get a 0% on purchases credit card? We've made a decision on what we believe is best for us and our figures seem to suggest we've made a decent decision.

So you want the price set at a level that every Saints fan, no matter their disposable income, can afford a season ticket? Do you want us to become insolvent again? I'm sorry but that's simply not the real world.

What on earth are you talking about? Do you think businesses offer credit plans because they feel sorry for poor people and want to help them out? Do you think they don't conduct financial analysis to see if offering the plans makes them more money in the long-run? Do you think all businesses should sell their product at a price that makes it affordable for the poorest person who wants to buy it? Do you think it's a good idea to sell as much of your product as possible at a discount or at it's full price? Do you think Saints ever have a chance of being competitive in the top division unless they try to maximise their revenue? Seriously, what are you thinking?

But that's clearly rubbish. It's feasible, you just go to less.

They offer that if it is needed to sell their product. It is a commercial decision, not a charity. Surely you can see that? The fact that sales have gone up since the withdrawal of the plan quite clearly seems to indicate that we do not need to offer one. I bet gate receipts are up this season.

Why should the club give a monkey's who the holder of the ST is? They are interested in numbers.

!!!

It is daft to say "it's clear to me that x, y and z" and when asked why it's "clear" to reply "instinct" and expect people to be even the least bit impressed. Maybe if you wrote in a style that wasn't so unequivocal your unrelenting misanthropy wouldn't be quite so difficult to bear. In turn, this might reduce the amount of mocking you get.

And if I looked like Ribery I would probably be even more enthusiastic in my prossy procuring.

I'm going to Twitter/Facebook this just so I look clever when it blows - I hope you know what you're talking about!

So it's ok to make remarks which imply derogatory connotations towards these people - you just have to make sure you use the right words when doing so?

This is the big one, right?

What's wrong with her face? I don't see how anyone can really criticise though. If I was a top level pro-footballer I'd be tucking into floonge galore at every opportunity and it's hard to tell how old a slapper is.

Does the monkey chicken petting zoo look feasible?

I think Crab Lungs paints a slightly utopian picture. Yes, Thailand is awesome and most of the people are very friendly. My mate got a right kicking in Bangkok though from a mob of locals (albeit he was being a ****) and another one saw a bouncer in a club armed with a sword take someone's hand off (although admittedly this was not in a touristy area). So it's not all smiles and open legs (but 99.9% is)!

Rule 1.

If we lose six and draw ten (and win the rest) that would give us 100 points. I think that is achievable and therefore, with a couple of ****-ups factored in, I would hope for at least 90 points.

I like it.

Fair play Saint Bobby.

Their reporting of the whole affair has been pretty shoddy IMO. Articles are often littered with inaccuracies. That article implies that HMRC only has one ground of appeal, namely the voting rights it was given, when we all know it has other grounds as well.

A few days ago he was very confident that it would be heard in July and that they would win. Now he's fairly confident that it will be in the first few days of August. I wonder why he bothers really.
