No i don't, its a hole that takes 45 mins to get served in. Whats the point in having a sqaure bar and only have 2 bar men ??? Sorry hold on I apologise about the outburst in regards to the christmas adverts. But seriously, i mean, October ?

Quality, Gutted i only got to watch the highlights and couldn't stay in and watch the whole final day on my ass.

TBF, i can see what he was getting at. It can sometimes be a shame that graduates find it hard to find a job when leaving uni, but TBF, i would never entertain creating a mammoth debt for pretty much under 50% chance of getting a job at the end of it, and have put off a lot of my mates who were thinking of embarking on that journey as that is 'where the money is' because it isn't. And i havn't even begun to talk about those that go to Uni and do pretty much useless degrees. Don't get me wrong i am a graduate, but i secured that degree and a job at the same time by applying for positions at companies and actually using a bit of nonce and showing a bit of drive by sending a few CV's around and getting my name out there. I then went to a company who funded me through and set up my on job training around my degree time whilst being paid for my job, THAT is the way to go about it. On the other side of his arguement, there are still far too many work shy people out there, if for whatever reason i lost my job i would find work anywhere to ensure some sort of income until positions arose that were perhaps more fitting of my experience, abilities and qualifications. This country makes it all too easy for some to avoid contributing anything to the economy, and unfortunately as much as i would love to fund those that are 100% genuine in regards to benefits there are far too many who flout the system.

Goblets is down teh road a bit. Does quality shots downstairs but by all accounts is a bit of a dive. Everything about whitehouse is sh*te mind, everything.

Was pardews loss one of the 3 ???

I agree with this 100% And also believe that you should not gain any extra benefit if you have more than 2 children. Why should i pay for anymore ? There is enough free contraceptive out there to be used. And what is worse is some people are pretty much abusing the system and having children as another form of gaining an income. I heard the chancellor this morning. What a w*nker. As if removing the child benefits if you earn over 44k isn't bad enough, coming out with a sentance that says 'If you earn over this why should those paying 20% pay for your children ?' Well, why should i pay double to pay for all of the work shy and child machines out there today FFS ? There are better and easier ways out there to make much bigger dents in the national debt, but it may involve gaining a backbone and actually sorting out the mess that is the benefit system.

The whitehouse ??? FFS

Well done ex Mods.

Thank you Unfortunately its the second time its happened so i'm pretty well versed.

It goes.... Lee Barnard, Barnard He's short and he's f*cking hard He glassed someone in the face And now we only have one out of form striker

I'm going to hospital Monday for a cruciate ligament reconstruction so probably not much use !!

I remember one with DMG smashing a kebab in someones face. I hope this isn't true, i guess we will find out in due course.

Its confidence, not anything else i don't think. Just have a look through the pictures from the Bompey game on the OS. Its amazing the reaction and passion from him and his fellow players. Thats not a reaction from or to a player who doesn't want to be here. Confidence is a massive massive thing on the football pitch and even more so for a striker. If you lack it your whole game goes to pot, it really is strange. I once went through a season and scored 42 in 16 games, i then went to a decent team and just didn't feel up to it, and promptly couldn't hit a barn door. The manager tried to steady my nerves, my teammates and father tried but nothing happened. Then all of a sudden you get a break, start scoring and it starts working. I have also tried to coach it out of players, it doesn't work, you need to just keep faith for as long as you can (but not indefinately) and hope it comes off. I reckon the two pens may be a good start but he will still have the open play arguement in his head and so until he burys one or two he may still be a bit off form. More to the point we havn't got anyone to replace him anyways which is a massive deal ATM. I also know a player who is sh*te when he plays with his mates in 11 a side, they get on his back easily and it doesn't help. He then proceeds to play 6 a side or 11 a side to help out a couple of guys at work and plays absolutely blinding. Its a strange thing is confidence, but without it your nothing. It is cliche but so true.........................Class is permanent, form is temporary.

Got a real dilemma on the go ATM, i only started my new job a few weeks ago, i really can't take the time off tbf. I may have to tape the whole day and then hope to god nobody tells me what happens all day.

That was a fantastic day of golf, summed up by Poulters defiant fist raise at the end there. Bloody f*cked off i have to go to work tomorrow.

Perhaps Baj and Steve need to take a step back on the moderation front, they are doing a decent job with the forum but let someone else police it. I know it is hard what with libel and all that but you need to rely on your team to stop that. And tbf we all understand the whole libel issue, personally i don't think much would ever come of it but if it were me and there was a chance i probably wouldn't risk it. This will also give Steve more time to carry on with some of his blogging on THIS site and Baj to....well....keep the site going and write songs or something. I also still think you need to bring a wider audience into the Saintsweb podcasts, it can still be edited etc but would bring more objectivity to the arguement. Just a few thoughts anyways. Would also be interesting to hear Baj and Steves thoughts on what they WANT the new era to be like ? Or what changes need to be made ?

Well, there we go. Maybe it was purely on the decision by Cortese, which is a bit strange. I am not Pardews biggest fan, however even i would not have sacked him quite so quickly. Unless of course relationships really were strained at the club, in which case i suppose it would be far better to remove him earlier rather than later i suppose as now Adkins has more of a chance to galvinise the season as it is early on. I doubt we will ever know what went on, personally i can't warm to Pardew and never could. He seems slimy and egotistical. It would be good to have words from Cortese to counter act those made my Pard's today, but we never will rightly or wrongly. What has happened has happened now, i just hope we can push on. Adkins looks like he is instilling some good football into the lads, possession attractive football that hopefully we can work on and perfect for when we are premiership bound. And i can also only hope that perhaps if it was Corteses impatience he may well have learnt to stay off the managers back so early on. But then this thing happens in football, look at Paolo Soasa and the amount of managers that have lost their jobs early.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was a biological weapon gone wrong, or if there were an aweful lot more sinister 'weapons' out there waiting to be accidentally or purposely released. But then look at the actual disease. If you wanted a weapon, you wouldn't want it to be so slow acting as AIDS is, you would want it to take effect very quickly and to completely incapacitate or severely hinder an enemy and would also want it to be very very contagious in the form of an airborne disease. AIDS is reletively easily avoidable (to an extent) and although very very damaging is hardly immediately harmful to life. An Ebola type weapon would be worse.

I vote Deppo

Lol

Yeah, that would be another of my policies. A breathalyser to use the forum. If you are over a certain alcoholic limit then one would not be able to post. My only worry is that we would never see Dune ever again .

I have lost a little bit of love for football in general TBF. I directly attribute this to the fact that England and Saints are pretty poor ATM and with Saints league one football is something i honestly never thought i would see. But also because i can't play right now takes even more away from it. I'll get back into it, but currently i am more into having a drink with the lads, doing some fitness training and playing a bit of golf. Some of that may be why the forum is how it is BTW, what with football being so uninspiring right now.

Cheers for that. Puts it all in perspective really well. We could have been a long way off the pace but results have been kind, far kinder then last season. I don't even think we need to win the amount of games as we did last year to make the top two but there you go. Adkins has begun to instill confidence and play decent possession football. We just need to work on being a lot more clinical in front of goal and we will be there. Hopefully Chaplow will impress and we will take him on, then we need another striker desperately. I honestly think Connelly has had his time now. And apart from saying we don't 'need' (although i definately want) a player like Le Fondre now looking at our only two strikers now, we definately need him or someone like him.

I didn't research i just assumed Norwich were there. Apologees. It makes it all the more relevant however. Season has begun lads.

When the knee is back to its best i'll teach you how its done.
