I thought Slander was the spoken word and Libel was the written word

Thank you for your response I have read it but do not intend to respond as I have other things to do But will say that Lifting Stories is quite common these days I spend a lot of time keeping abreast of news and often find different sites have the same story word for word.

Just read his response

The funny thing is but I thought New labour was to the Left of the Tories but to the right of the Liberals

Unfortunately the world needs banking and London is one of the major centres so there is no point really in losing it. That said there needs to be global regulation of the banks as suggested by Obama and supported by the former Labour Government we cant do it alone as banks will move to countries where the regulation is less stringent because the Government will lose money and people will lose jobs

Because it is important to the Scots who dislike the Tories a great deal and find that they are in government The make up from Scotland is Labour 41 Liberal Democrat 11 Scottish National Party 6 Conservative 1 So they may have a point

So you think he is being complimentary to LM who has been involved in running SFC for over thirty years without out the backing of a Billionaire when we were a force in the top flight of English football managing at one time some of the finest footballers in England - World Cup Winners England Captains and a European Footballer of the year

What do you mean by quality . Do you mean you dont agree with the content or is it something else. I dont like the Daily Mail but it is purely because of the content and the stance of its contributors

Yes he did

What exactly is shoddy about the reporting of the Echo is it all aspects or just the Saints I live away from Southampton these days and have not read it for sometime

Yes I think you are right I think Hammond's injury and Morgan's absence through injury and suspension did not help our cause in the least

So are you saying it is alright for you to make comments against the club but not alright for MLT to support Pardew and not NC. If MLT had not stayed and kept us in the top flight for so long it is possible that we would not be in the position we are today.

I agree but they are unlikely to go

I was quite confident until I saw that list but it is missing Seabourne and Barnard but lets hope we get in a few new players and are injury free

I only read the online Echo are there seems very little there which is anti SFC The only fact we know is that AP is not being sacked we dont know anything that the Journalists heard. With regard to MLT saying Cortese acted poorly I think a number of other people would agree NC knew there was speculation regarding AP and should have backed him before now

They put it up to 15% but then because of problems with community charge increased it to 17.5% and reduced the community charge people paid. I was working for a Community Charge Software supplier and it caused havoc as the change happened when some councils had billed and some had not But I agree it seems the a fair way to increase tax revenue if it does not reduce GDP

You would have thought that would be a good solution but I dont think it is as simple as that

Heard an interesting discussion on Radio 5 live where one economist said it was a good thing but another who seemed to have a computer model said it would not and do more harm than good. God knows what is going to happen it is not going to be easy

Something like £80 billion goes to the Treasury from the banking sector in a good year

No just speculation as is most on the Forum at least he puts forward a point of view

Just think the Echo is reporting the news I dont think they were saying sack Pardew but were backing him like most on here There was discussion on here based on the Solent report the Echo never started the rumour but continued it due to the interest and reports in the Daily Mail.

Seems to be still waiting http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/8162295.Counting_cost_of_Pardew_job_fears/?ref=rss Wonder what truth there is in this

Are they criticising Cortese or are they reporting Cortese criticising LM MLT KK etc Just wish NC had issued a football statement praising the team and mentioning the high lights of the season praising Pardew without upsetting some people whose efforts have done more for the club than NC has yet achieved Without contributions from LM MLT KK for older fans what memories would we have

Things are looking good on the field as they should with a Billionaire owner but still not perfect behind the scenes perhaps. But should we care probably not as long as results are good
