On this I certainly agree. Scattergun was the very word that came to my mind too. In today's article on the Beeb Brendan Rodgers 'no' to Liverpool talks but Roberto Martinez in frame it states Surely they need to get the DoF in first?!! If all the CE / DoF candidates have reservations about the manager appointment, what then? There's enough here to suggest that behind the scenes turmoil will produce a really poor outcome next year as well. LOL

Why did they even ask? Surely not proved himself sufficiently at Premier League level yet. On a personal level, Rodgers' departure from Watford to Reading was a disaster, which he well remembers. The grass isn't always greener. Brendan has lost both his parents in the last year but incredibly got Swans to 11th. Everyone knows the second season is much harder. Probably challenge enough for BR right now. Strange move from Liverpool really. Also need a DOF and several other roles. Sounds like chaos to me.

Blackpool - only team not to have spent loads of money they haven't got. Would like a Blackpool v Cardiff final with Stephen Dobbie scoring the winner. Plus I'd really like to see what Stephen Dobbie could do in the PL with Blackpool. It really gets on my wick the idiot Swansea fans who claim he's not PL quality, when in reality he just doesn't fit BR's system. I'm one of his fans, you might have guessed.

Relax. 3-0 Saints. 2-0 @ HT. Get your shouting lungs on. It's all that's expected of you. Looking forward to having you back in the PL next year, where you belong. ATB

It would look so much better under the headline Pompey finally liquidated Not long now . . . .

Webby. Putting streams on full-screen sometimes seems to prevent pop-up adverts. Which is why I watch on a laptop next to main PC.

Well that's the 4-1 set up nicely. Three more chaps.

I've been fag free for 5 years. Was on 30+ roll-ups without filters per day. I had given up a couple of times before with patches, but they just prolong the agony really - and they fall off leaving you all moody at work. As others have said, to truly give up for good treat it like alcoholism. Just one cigarette will undo everything. I finally gave up via cold turkey having read that you are mostly over the chemical addiction within 3 days. I took a few days off work for the suffering. It really was agony. You DO NEED TO REDUCE CAFFEINE INTAKE during this period as well. Apparently nicoteine masks caffeine effects. No need to give yourself the caffeine shakes at the same time! Then it's down to dealing with the psychological addiction - or strong habits. I bought a load of mints. For the next month I kept to all my old smoking rituals (going outside during the adverts on TV etc), but had a mint instead of a cigarrete. I did this at work too. I even allowed myself to enjoy passive smoking on my 'mint breaks' with the smokers. After a month I would only have a mint break when my mind turned to cigarretes, which wasn't that often. That's what worked for me.

Well I had to check. I wonder how good his aim is though.

Perhaps the Pompey Trust know they are toast. They also know they need to do a lot of fundraising just to get the infinitely less popular plan B up and running. Come May Birch liquidates Pompey and Trust announces "Rotten luck that. We did all we could. Hope you don't mind us spending all your money on a super dooper Conference South squad, 'cos that's what we have done." They wouldn't! Would they?

There's a recent thread on FreeSat on SW here. The box you link to doesn't mention a hard disk. You want to record programs? This year I had SKY again as Swans were in the PL, but I don't think it's really worth it. Maybe Saints in PL as well will swing it. Our old Freesat box (Humax HDR) is now our spare box in the bedroom. This is a decent bit of kit if you want Freesat for the few HD channels (BBC HD, BBC One HD, ITV HD). Works with an existing SKY satellite dish. However, as of tomorrow (21 March 2012) we should have a few HD channels on Freeview (via the TV aerial) if you have a suitable set-top box. I'm not sure exactly which HD channels as I wasn't planning on upgrading our Freeview box just yet. But you have options. For movies/sports there's nothing much over Freeview, but it's free, so you get what you pay for.

The alleged comments - pretty strong stuff Some more info on a cardiff forum here.

It's the thought that counts. Your alternative presents below if you like.

His posts didn't strike me as romantic film nonsense. All he said was you need to be aware of the risks/complications and decide if there is enough upside to compensate for the downside - and that this is an individual choice. I don't think he was telling you how to live your life. Quite a few respondents on this thread would drop the HIV+ woman in an instant. She is probably well aware of this. She cannot change the world and the people in it. I'm making a wild guess here, but as the word 'date' appears in the thread title I assume the 'relationship' is relatively new. I'm guessing she has adopted a strategy of early revelation before she invests too much emotionally, although she's reached a point where she wants to have a stop/go decision either way. Better to have regular small disappointments than massive ones (for both) later on perhaps? Turkish, you appear to have some previous with Saintandy666 and are bringing that to this thread. Just an observation.

It's a very manageable disease nowadays. The day to day drug regime is a piece of cake - 3 pills at the same time every day. This will get the viral load to a level which will give a HIV negative reading on the test, although it will still always be there at low levels, and can increase if the drug regime is abandoned or adhered to inconsistently. I've never really thought about the prgnancy angle myself but I think some of the advice here may be open to question. A quick Google came up with:- http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/HIV_and_women_having_children?open I don 't know what you think of those odds. There are HIV specialists at the GUM clinic at the Royal South Hampshire Hospital who can give you (both) advice and information about specialist charities who can help in this area. Good luck.

I thought some may like this. Newcastle manager Alan Pardew has ruled himself out of the running to become the Republican nominee for President in 2012, adding to his unwillingness to take jobs he definitely wasn’t going to be offered anyway.

I do wish he'd shut the f3ck up about Swansea. He hasn't a clue. The Trust owns 20%, but the other directors really are just fans with small local businesses. The trust is 10 years old just recently. Here is a recent article about the takeover We gave him the money and he tossed it on floor Of course what these potted histories don't tell you is the 'softening up' process that got the crook Tony Petty to the negotiating table. I'm absolutely not saying any of the Trust or eventual directors were involved in this, but Tony Petty feared for his physical safety (seriously. Google). Here is one of the attack sites that still exists The Crook Report Petty Out There were a lot of people, individually and in small groups making his life hell. Whereas, Pompey, in the presence of crooks wave their bare arses in the air and say "Do what you want for an FA cup mister". No similarity at all. Shut the f3ck up about Swansea Mr McLachlan.

You don't mention if any kissing took place. Men will stick their winkies into anything - women, men, scaffolding, and if you're lucky enough - sheep. It isn't particularly significant. However, kissing is the clincher here, especially big sloppy ones with tongues. ;-) You can also get this Gay-Away in cream form. I suggest taking control of your own dream. Next time you end up spooning, imagine massaging Gay-Away cream into your buddies buttocks and I guarantee you the scene will quickly evolve into a bout of healthy Tory wrestling and nothing more. HTH

CF - Stephen Dobbie, Swansea SD made second and scored third of Swansea's play-off final goals. If he went on loan to a championship club this year he'd be on a hat-trick of promotions. Whilst I personally think he's the dogs b0ll0x and love watching him play, he's never been great as the lone striker, playing far better just behind the main CF, which in Swansea's 4-5-1 puts him in the centre of midfield. This requires insanely high pass completion rates > 90% (Leon Britton managed 100% v Bolton). Dobbie just can't match that and so I wonder whether we'll really see that much of him this year. Shame. I reckon Dobbie/Rodgers have a decision to make come January. CDAJFS.

In 1872 the Welsh invented the condom, using a sheep's lower intestine. .. In 1873 the English somewhat refined the idea by taking the intestine out of the sheep first.

I'm really unhappy discussing this under a Gary Speed thread as we simply do not know if this is in any way relevant to his passing. However, a couple of links for you: Italian Footballers’ Association head “would not recommend coming out” to players German football captain Philipp Lahm says gay players should not come out I think there are only TWO out gay professional footballers in the whole world. I think it is rather more complex than just 'growing a pair'. I'll let the boys down the poo-pushers club know. Maybe we'll have a whip round and buy you some new curtains.

Does anybody know if there is one? The jungle drums seem to indicate incoming bids at Swansea. He wasn't sold in the best of circumstances (admin), but that doesn't mean there isn't a sell on clause. Obviously benefits Saints if there is. Anybody know?
