all season?

That's not very like an engineer Alps! They would have a 25% chance of promotion if they got to the playoffs. You also mention that everything other than money is secondary with regards to promotion, which would surely mean Brighton would need to have been offered more money than they could have stood to make if promoted, no? West Ham are bonkers with their cash, but they aren't that bonkers.

So why didn't you change it?

My thoughts exactly. Looking at the Reading forum they are pretty split on whether they can beat us or not, I say we go for it.

Fantastic!

Come on Alps old chum, the last one was a few seconds in a three minute video!

I agree!

I vote lunatic. When he scored for Millwall in the fa cup year I hated Claridge, but have been very impressed with the things he has said about us. Only echoing what others have said, but I'd much rather listen to him than any of the Match of The Day pundits.

Jos is going to score. Heard it here first.

Paha.

On reflection, I still think our midfield was worse after Guly came off. That's not to say he had a good game individually, but for the next ten minutes after he was subbed our midfield seemed completely lost.

Whatever you think of him, it would be hard to deny that our midfield was much worse after Guly came off. The only silver lining for me is that I successfully predicted the final score during the first half. Not much to cling onto, admittedly.

Sorry all.

Coincidence that the midfield seems worse after Guly left the pitch?

The game will finish 2-2. I am ITK.

Correct! If they aren't triple-cooked they're nothing.

Doesn't sound like you're being that tolerant.

He quoted me, and his post didn't contain any analogy in it...

Nail on the head.

I didn't criticise your opinion, I responded to your accusation that my analogy was moronic! Of course you are entitled to it, the question I asked is what actually are you doing about something you seem to believe in so strongly?

Your analogy you've used there is moronic! I responded civilly to a point made about history with regards to a minute's silence not being something that will improve the understanding of a historical event, because that was the very point that was being made. You cannot confuse an act of remembrance with historical learning, particularly if there is nothing else (like a talk, some poetry etc) attached to the silence. Considering you aren't even going to be there, why are you making a such a fuss? If it means that much to you, move to Southampton and campaign for it. What did you do for the 99th anniversary of the sinking, or the 73rd?

How will a minute's silence at a football match teach anybody anything about the history of the event? I think you'll find more people know about the Titanic nowadays because of the film than anything else, and encouraging somebody not to make any noise for a minute won't expand that knowledge. For me, I can appreciate how significant it was at the time, and clearly it was a tragic event, but I would find a minute's silence to be a little artificial, and I'm sure that the majority of the fans in the stadium wouldn't be remembering the people who were lost. If it is something that is still resonant to the fans Southampton FC on a human level, shouldn't there have been calls to do something about it sooner than 100 years after the event? I agree with you that history is wholly important, but I don't think a minute's silence will at all alter the general public's understanding or perception of what happened. I also think it is irrelevant whether the club is in The Premier League or not. We can't now decide that the remembrance of those who died on the Titanic is important to us more because it happened 100 years ago and we are playing in a better league, surely?

Reading between the lines of this post, it is clear I knew he'd get a brace.
