Exactly my way of thinking here And Im pretty liberal minded, find the PC brigade over the top and loathe social media outrage. However I cant see how you can defend a bunch of idiots openly being filmed chanting a racist chant TBH
-
I think the chants of 'were racist and we love it' and the eventual blocking of a black man are unfortunately too much to ignore for me. Am I getting hysterical ? No Are a lot of the reactions of people over the top ? Yes But realistically it was ****ing moronic and cant be said that it was anything over than a racially motivated incident. Even taking the blocking of the black man from the train out of the equation then they are still filmed singing racist chants. Unfortunately thats were the buck will stop. Should they be banned for life ? Not in my opinion, but realistically they should expect a time limited ban, which I would personally find fair
-
So why defend them ?
-
Exactly, Im surprised so many are looking to defend the incident TBH, no place for it in society
-
Exactly, whatever their actual everyday thoughts on the subject of race at that time on the metro in paris they were caught up in racist chants and the stopping of a black man (amoungst others) from boarding a train. Looking at the situation in isolation, which of course it will be, does not make healthy viewing for the culprits. Hopefully Chelsea are able to identify and ban the culprits until they grow up a bit.

He is reported to be on around 70k, I wouldnt expect our top earners to be a million miles from that TBH, its about average for a good player in the prem. This all goes out of the window with City however, they could easily fork out 100k and offer trophies. Ge wont be a bench warmer either. Dimechellis won't go on forwever and a back four including Toby and Kompany will be formidable

Im just not really a Mac fan and to be honest I think its the weakest IOW line up in a very long time. Genuinely considering selling the ticket, which is a shame as I have a blast every year. For me T in the park has stolen the show for best festival this year, the line up is incredible, unfortunately getting from here to perth is a bit more of a logistical pain in the ass

US Consortium put in Saints bid..?

There isnt a lot then can do until they remove the O/H line running through the middle TBH -
Do you know what I agree, a cup win would be excellent, but eventually counts for very little other than some warm memories and more in the trophy room. Its not a massive confidence, fund or status builder in the long term. And it seems absolutely mental to say I would prefer anything over than 5th or a cup win, but thats where we are this season. Im not so convinced that, as Cb says, this season is a blueprint to future years. We will potentially be able to extend this upwards momentum for another 2 years maximum 'without' a top four finish IMO, and a lot of that will be comprised on keeping the vultures away. So yes, I told myself not to dare to dream until after the difficult christmas period, but we are still in amongst the running, so why not ? With our end run of fixtures its achievable, and will more than likely open a few corridoors if we do manage to make it. So yeah, i think its worth the risk.

He was a skate !?

What if I come on the bus ?

Spurs have players of genuine ability and have cash to spend if required (and often do). Villa have some decent players, but I think its too late for them.

I think its more along the lines that he thinks he is some sort of managerial genius.

Yes and I have no problem for that, degrees in relevant studies are fine but I have to say I would say the majority of students are just looking for a continuation of the college life and dont really know what they are doing in the future. You need to make a commitment on your future, and realise if there is no real future gain for your degree and so debt, than you should be looking at other avenues for a career. If anything I think the answer is for employers to take up the mantel. If they want a certain employee then they should offer more positions which include a degree as part of the training, and that is were the government tuition subsidy should go to. Not topping up some 18 yr olds **** up fund

This Universities and degrees should be elitist or else whatsthe point ?
-
Nice comfy car though. I have a qashqai atm, which is a much better car than I thought it would be. Tokes would probably have to go +2 to continue his bang bus orgies though
-
I wouldnt personally get one, but the guys at work absolutely rave about them. And having driven one its a nice drive, plenty of room and very comfy. I thought they have trouble parking though ?
-
Phwoar

Theres a definate degree of big sam about that look tbh
-
It was prob two years ago and maybe one last year !? Think there was a point when we played a saintsweb vs saintsweb match which I went along to with a couple of mates and was a good giggle tbh. Perhaps the neccessity of having to have a modicum of athletic ability helped to block the appearance of the ubber weirdos ? I think Diben Pirlieu saint was coming but he couldnt park...

No he was a WHAM fan, who tweeted that if he got 100 retweets he would run on the pitch The dopey tit I think a ban for lifes a bit harsh though, not like he threw an orange or anything
