PS - the only team who would have made the play-offs, had ten points been deducted last year were Leicester. Did anyone really think we would do as well as them this season? Are you not aware of the complete shambles the previous management left behind? Did you not read Pardew's article on the scouting disarray? Did you miss the disruption caused to pre-season? Have you not noticed how teams celebrate a point at SMS as though they've just won the league? Can you not see we have much better players than most other teams? We will be fine but promotion is and was a retarded expectation.

He's signed one "nipper" and one young centre back, who is much better than our other centre backs, along with some experienced players. The level of spoilt, narrow-minded stupidity on here beggars belief sometimes.

TBF, that's ********, isn't it?

Oh FFS. What a great thread. Seriously, brilliant. Well done you.

EDIT

Thanks for that. Nice to hear the vews of someone who saw the match.

Funny, because Solent thought Saga had a good game. Mind you, I think Dave Merrington has had his brain replaced with a Banal Truism Machine.

If Man City don't win the league then it's a sure sign they need to spend more money. I expect their fitness is also involved somehow.

Boring, whining, predictable, immature gash.

Why? What you do, is this: watch the games and see what the reasons are and recognise that the reasons for conceding a goal may differ from game to game.

Yes, I think that's the point he's making but in this case he is completely wrong.

We hit the bar twice after scoring and had a goal ruled out for offside. FFFFFFFFS.

FFS.

Definitely. A sports psychologist would prevent unlucky ricochets leading to penalties.

Maybe Maradonna sees something in Smith that we're all overlooking?

I would come dressed as Jesus but blacked up; they'd all have a heart-attack. (Mods: This is not a racist comment is a satirical quip at my perceived hypocrisy in relation to the kind of people who appear on the programme and give the tremendous impression of being self-important bigots - that is all.)

Bit strange really - questioning the "source of his funds". Sounds like he's restuctured the debt and bought the club for a nominal amount so the soruce of his "funds" could be a £1 online transfer from his current account. "Where do you get that squid Sulaiman?" - "I sold a '99 innit". If they want to know how he is going to fund the debt obligations then won't that involve quesitoning him on his future business plan? I wouldn't have thought the FA's ambit went that far; aren't they just concerned with the "here and now" of where any purchase monies came from? Presumably he will continue the search for more significant funds going forwards, after all, that is what equity investment companies do. I suppose if there is a sudden influx of cash later then that will need to be shown to be above board. Sorry Skates, I don't think the Premier League will save you from this one.

Good question. It's not really news is it. "There was widespread shock today when exactly the same thing that has happened for the last 30 years occurred on GCSE/A-Level results day."

Oh yeah, and for about the fifth time on here.... Nathan Tyson.

Right, let's sign him then.

Who gives a toss, we have the fourth richest owner in British football.

And a final thought.... GCSE are a **** load easier than "O" Levels were. This is FACT. I know it is FACT because I did Additional Mathematics when taking my GCSEs. The Additional Mathematics Paper was an old "O" Level paper and also covered most of the first year of the A-Level Pure Maths course. It is the hardest exam I've done and that includes A-Levels and two degrees.

If you do a good degree at a good uni, or a specific degree targeted at a specific career that demands said degree, it will help your career unless you want to do something that doesn't require a degree to do. This is clearly a glib truism but some seem to be struggling with it. Oh, and by the way, even if you don't improve your career with your degree you'll have a ****ing awesome three years and will not spend the rest of your life wishing you had gone to uni.

Cracking programme. It's like Songs of Praise but I don't want to punch everyone in it.

v Villa on the telly... ****ing awesome support. I think they deserve "peeps" on TSWForum Muppet Show.
