Thedelldays

is that a joke...?

about.......20 people..? if that..?

hmmmm we went out there because the taliban harboured al qeada and allowed terrorist training camps in the country that resulted in thousands of US lives and hundreds of UK libes been taken....NATO agreed to back it... that is all...

were we not close to zero pictures in the press anyway...?

ok...the americans lost most lives..then the UK did etc etc etc.....

dulldays - reported to the mods

last time I checked....terrorists never assasinated hundreds of swedes in one go..?

we have 10k troops there...that is it

yeah...such a big deal that on PASOTI a whole 56 posts by about 15 different people commented on it yeah..massive deal..it is massive news around the country.. oooooor, some dont actually care..????

do we...france get involved in alot...russia, china, taiwan....even the aussies come across the world to get involved... canada like to have a sniff.. i think you are wrong as for afghan....world problem (but not ours)...hmmm you do realise that god knows how many countries are/were involved in that place...???? the fact you talk about shepherds is exactly why you have no idea

the article..bottom of their site...yeah, massive deal eh..? this is hillarious at best in the prem we got the odd "feature game"...mostly had to wait till the end to see the "goals"..even in the CCC we had stupid arty-farty camera angles in our 1 game of the season...now we get about 10 seconds of footage.. the only time we were really news was when lowe opened his mouth about klingons or north london yobbos......even then we barely had a picture NOW....NOW all of a sudden our chairman (whilst in league 1) is trying to bring down the british press.. funny....very funny

thought we came 5th....? even after the first 10 games...we still managed to blow it...just look at oldham at home..james on/james off...WTF???? I like pardew, hope he succeeds with saints..however if we are playing catch up after 10 games then I would not lose sleep if he went..

is "freedom of speech" and saints the new fashion since when has it ever been a case of "freedom of speech" at saints..or even on here..?

indeed....just look at one harold redknapp

my worry for pardew is that he is on borrowed time.... cortese was pretty up front in saying he wanted league as a priority...they came here to get us to the premier league... I guess he felt that the cups got in the way....in a way he was right and wrong..right in the sense that our results after a cup tie were where ther most points were dropped..wrong in that we won a trophy at wembley.... either way, IF..(if) pardew was given a brief that the league was where the money was pointing...he then came out and put the cups as priority..then there is only going to be one winner.. pardew is no way as good as some would think...we had the chance to get into the playoffs...and WE blew it..simple as that

and that has nothing to do with be "colonial".....if you are not aware, countless countries were/are involved in afghanistan... our last "colonial" ding dong was the falklands..

arizona..they have already developed/sought out and electromagnetic catapult system...for just this scenario

I agree mate try selling that to the public.... "hey, we need to spend X in the military in order to save X in 10 years......" hardly a vote winner when all we all care about is how much free money/stuff we can get the usual response is..."lets stop spending and pretending we are a colonial power"..

ummm..we dont pretend we are some sort of colonial power..only someone with no clue would say that

and so what if it does..? no one really cares..no fan who has not much thought of the garbage press (who just look at some of the utter crud in the red tops) and not much care for internet forums...I suspect, that makes up a fair chunk of football fans..

ok..it was in the guardian...but so is alot of other pointless news that no one knows about.. I was talking with some mates who are football mad whilst watching argyle rob points from us...when I told them about it, their reaction was.."oh..and"... sure that was a couple of mates..but apart from this message board have not really seen much condemnation of it...sure some have given it a bit of stick..but nothing more really lol at those who thing cortese is on a campaign to control the british press...lol indeed. he is trying new ways to make money...english football is eating itself and too stuck in its ways to accept change

like i said....the country does not care....they dont want trident, planes, tanks, ships..they want free money, free houses and free health care... defence is not even secondary for the last 10 years, I have seen nothing but cut back after cut back...that was when the country was pishing money up the wall on anything the % of defence spending to GDP is low...very low..lower than than it has been very a massive amount of time.. the country can no longer afford newly developed stuff.....time to face that.

again...hardly big news.. pasoti...the plymouth version of this place...aaaaaannd PAFC..hmm, features at the bottom of their OS.. wow...go on a national forum and they will probably have no idea what you are on about..or even care try it..phone in 606 or talksport and see how much they talk about it..

lol what next...the ruskies are coming..?

lol people really think this is big news outside of this message board.. lol
