Unfortunately for bigger clubs that shows a lack of commitment. If i was offered a chance at clubs like that i am afriad work would come second and i would hope they can understand. Would probably be a bit more difficult in my line of work now but i am sure i could get people to cover my work for a few days if i had any planned outages etc. The fact that he just works at T.G.I Fridays however i can't really explain, and probably nor could the clubs. He may make it somewhere like Exeter, Wycombe and perhaps Millwall but i can't see clubs with better squads and money to spend going for him really, no offence meant may i add.

He just hasn't got the quality that Lallana, Chamberlain, Dickson, Forte and even young Mills have. If any clubs take a punt it won't be us. He may be a decent player, but don't confuse a couple of decent performances for Totton to having the quality to perform in the Championship. That said, I do sometimes wonder just how far apart the technical side of the game is between some very very good lower league players to league 1/championship. Unfortunately if you have not been picked by 22 and after a few scouts have looked at you AND had a trial at Bompey i would not hold out much hope really. Shame, i hope he does well as i hope any decent young player does well.

Pass on my best regards, so glad he is doing so well. Many of us appreciated his performances in a saints shirt and the fact that he perhaps was forced out when we needed the money the most (although i am not completely niave, he was paid ) I have always regarded him as one of the better, more solid players in the Championship, like Crab Lungs posted earlier there are far too many sofa coaches that believe the best players only score goals and run at players 24/7. Surman however was pretty consistant, his passing, tackling, general play were never outstanding but for me always good. Don't get me wrong, I don't think he will ever be a world beater (and i don't think he does either, no disrespect meant either) but I can see him playing at a decent level, and yes i can't see why he couldn't do a decent job in the premiership.

Lol Always liked Surman, always full of energy and always comfortable on the ball, streets ahead of Hammond in terms of ability.

If he did his cruciate pre season i wouldn't imagine he would be playing until next season, especially in a league 1 dogfight.

So your comparing a 4 game sample against the rest of the season ?? And thats scientifically sound is it ?

Which was my point, its not about ball direction, but where you physically are.

I just looked at them two on Wiki before scrolling down and reading this lol

Well, yeah, but no, but yeah. The law is actually that a player behind the ball cannot be offside, and so, if i was behind you, you could pass the ball forward and i would be onside no matter what. I think. I don't quite get if The9 is sarcastically mocking me or the pundits, i hate t'internetz

Well it was from me Nick A man of limitless knowledge and to the point posting.

You also have to be infront of the ball to be offside, HTH

I see Saint_Lard is still around with his anti-atkins tirade ?? I am starting to believe he is actually Pardew

thanks

Whens the next one ?? Happy to be a guest star BTW

Not that i am involved in the generation sites etc, nor am i involved in as many sites as Topgun is i would hazard a guess that the site itself will not be the only issue here, there will need to be a transmission system created from point to point (wherever that may be) and so you are going to see either towers going up (prefered as they cost around 1/10th of underground cables) or underground, either option will not be the best, any lobbying will i imagine oppose the overhead route however you need to also understand that any undergrounding, especially at 400kV levels will require a trench from site to site around 10-20m wide. As for the type of fuel itself i am not sure, I would imagine that Biomass would create a sort of smell, it WILL be pretty large and depending on the size of the site, the way materials are transported etc you may see an increase in traffic on the roads. Its a tough one, and it always will be, i would say however that in all likelihood we will get some sort of alternative power at some point in Southampton or the surrounding areas and all in all a Biomass plant will probably be a better bet. It would be however interesting to here any negative points topgun may have about them because i don't know too much about them.

It depends how far you are looking to export really, AC generation is usually carried out at about 22/23kV and is then transformed up to 400kV to reduce losses when transmitting long distances. It depends on how the plant will connect to the grid really, i would hazard a guess that it will be used primarily to power the south and so one would assume that it would just interconnect with the grid and then off to a couple of 132kV subs around and about. I wonder however how much spare capacity there is, it could be a case that building the new plant will require a new 400/132kv sub and perhaps even a new 132kV sub. So there will need to be plenty of space around for it.

Boll*cks, been waiting to see them again. Have seen them 3-4 times and only said last night that if a mate of mine got a chance to see limehouse they are well worth it. On another note Paul Weller is confirmed at the Kings of Leon Hyde park gigs. Great times.

Of course, the fact that I will be an 11kv Senior Authorised Person within the next 2 months (and hopefully 33kV within 18 ) has absolutely nothing to do with my welcoming on any additional infrastructure that will be created or even any additional generation sites that will include distribution protection schemes, plant and apparatus.

True, however the Nuclear debate should have been started many many years ago, it WILL get off the ground but in reality i would imagine you are looking for around 10 years minimum before a Nuclear power station is built anywhere in the UK. Wind power is ok, but as you say very inefficient and also pretty expensive when you factor in the network stabilization that is required, i must admit i am not sure on the power generated by Biomass sites but can only imagine it will be a good idea. I know that the industry is beginning to look at moving away from the old and traditional ways of energy generation and transmission which pretty much contributes generation in the extremities and then long transmission routes that are rediculously expensive (such as the proposed new beaulieu - Deny line that if we are forced to underground will cost an absolute fortune. Local generation is the way forward, not only to help reduce the costs of building massive transmission systems but also due to the fact that National Grid impose quite large penalties on energy transmission and the fact that within OUR future we will see a sort of energy dependency which is more than that supplied and so there will be times of rolling blackouts and having no electricity or, and a probably more favourable aspect is that the new smart grids will enable us to stop consumers using high powered appliences at certain times of the day.

Yet the so called club legends who have on many many occasions given their opinion on how close Southampton is to their hearts are perfectly within their rights to bleat, moan and character assassinate in public without criticism, strange logic you have there.
