Verbal

No one's sticking up for 'the girls' as far as I can see. I'm just questioning your lazy, knee-jerk assumptions - aka your 'expertise'.

Probably an ingenious disguise. Like Tammoc.

That gave me a nasty start, trousers. I never thought I'd see the name of that little twerp tommac appear on here again. I think you might have forgotten that tommac - probably accidentally, knowing him - ramped the club's share price so high with his tosh about PA that any prospective buyer would have run a mile. He caused immense damage. As for us, well you're quite right - we are a force for good and all that's right in the world. Even Delldays. (No...what I am saying?)

After all that's been said you're sending out xxx's? Yikes! If you're the expert, at least try and give us a reason anyone can reasonably argue with, rather than the casual mysogny you've dumped on us so far.

Good grief, can that be true? So the FL takes no meaningful interest in who owns clubs under its jurisdiction? The worrying thing (well, one of many) about the Notts County deal is that the club had been majority-owned by a supporters' trust. But in the face of an offer of overwhelming funding and a future in the Prem, the trust simply handed over the keys to the club - they offered Qadbak their shares for nothing and immediately resigned their positions on the board. From the way this has been going - and there's surely more to the Sol Campbell resignation story than is hitting the newspapers - the oldest club in the league (I think) is under severe threat. And still Mawhinney says nothing.

Mawhinney, that is – not Markus. No one knows who owns Notts County – not even Sven. And yet these mystery figures, have presumably passed a fit-and-proper-person test. How is that even possible? You just know this is going to end in tears, with some deeply unpleasant revelations expected in the coming days. Leeds United, supposedly part-owned by Ken Bates, are also actually owned by persons unknown, somewhere in the Caymans. Ken apparently mis-spoke when making his declarations to the FL. How unfortunate. And so good to see that the FL under Mawhinney took due diligence seriously. QPR is part-owned by someone who, under the Football League’s own rules, should be banned immediately on the specific and unambiguous grounds that he’s been issued with a life ban in another sport. And the word from Mawhinney – the idiot who had to bend the FL’s own rules to create a special stand-alone penalty for Southampton? Well, there isn’t one. Not a peep. Brilliant. Mawhinney should resign – or at least find a rock to crawl under in sheer embarrassment. He’s not a fit and proper person.

His points? He doesn't have any points. He is the Southampton of submarines.

I have to admit, Yoda, that made me laugh. So what is it, exactly about women and nuclear subs in particular? You worried that they might dry their undies on the reactor core?

Well, my brother served on a little boat called Conqueror. He's told me some pretty vivid stories! Anyway, being heterosexual, he supports the idea of women on subs. Would I go anywhere near a sub? No way. I just think that female company might make your posts less snippy and wiseacre-like. I'm just thinking of us, not you.

Wow. I could have sworn it was 2009.

Well, the BBC isn't good enough for you, so I suppose the Guardian (12 September 2009) isn't either. 'Yet at EDL events, skinheads have raised Nazi salutes and other EDL supporters have chanted racist slogans such as “I hate Pakis more than you”. One protest in Luton in May ended with scores of people attacking Asian businesses, smashing cars and threatening passersby.' Your posts are bizarre, quite frankly - really, really, odd, and I'm strongly inclined not to believe a word of your claim that you teach 'outreach' to Muslim women.

I'll give the police the benefit of the doubt on this one. At the Birmingham EDL assault on Asians, there were 90 arrests. How many of those arrested were EDL/BNP? Every single one of them. (Source: BBC)

Bullsh!t Read my post 466. it's not THAT far away.

I'm convinced you have the attention span of a newt. No one is saying people shouldn't be concerned about the Salafists. We are saying that concern shouldn't be channelled into the EDL/BNP's racist assaults on innocent Asians, their homes and their businesses. Understand? Or is that too ****ing complicated for you?

But you should have tried when we were near the end of one of our great escape seasons in the late 90s. Tumbleweed would have passed through undisturbed. Some great bargains though. Still got my especially useless Saints leather passport cover. Cost me £1 I think.

What language is this in please?

Stand down Johnny.

I had no intention of posting on this rancid thread again, but I'll answer the question. If you follow the logic of 'If X, then Y', you can work it out for yourself. If, as has been reported by The Times, The Guardian, Sky News, the BBC, etc, the EDL is presently led by key figures in the BNP, and if, as has also been reported, the EDL is heavily populated during its skirmishes by far-right football hooligans... And if you choose despite this information to support the assaults on innocent Asian families, homes and businesses, then you are either stupid beyond hope... ...or you are a racist. On the balance of probabilities, and given that we know that the Facebook campaign is part of the BNP-led strategy to garner support from football website like this one, I would say that bigtone's original post was racist. There are many other posters on here who prefer to gloss over the ugly truth of what's being done to innocent Asians, in the name of protesting against the Salafists themselves - who in other words prefer to turn a blind eye to the fact that Asians are attacked in the street. That too is a racist impulse. I have no doubt that anyone described as a racist will scream blue murder. But loudly yelling that you're not a racist doesn't actually mean that you're not.

Finally, the truth! The BBC did it. I heard Sophie Raiworth was setting the charges when George Alagiah accidentally sat on the plunger.

This isn't about principles, 19. It's about you gnawing away at something that's become an obsession. And you've been tugging at it so hard and long that you've lost sight of what Le Tiss is to Southampton fans. I don't know how many other ways to say it about this 'controversy': it doesn't matter.

I have no idea, but I've always wondered whether the administrators were somehow more comfortable with someone called 'Lynam' than 'Liebherr' - locals v foreigners.

I just turn my nose up to such things.

Some things just make you laugh. Or me anyway. This is one of them.

I cheated though. And bet on it. I am now rich.

Mornington Crescent. I win.
