Sour Mash

If any one is still after a ticket for this the unoffical Saints Travel people are doing a match ticket/coach ticket combined.

Really good read that, defnitely future captain material.

What is the "importance of the issue" of people shouting the word "Yids" at a football match?

I'm not sure if Rodriguez's finishing is good enough, but his pace running at people offers us something different and he's very good when the pressing game is in use.

I think you've failed to understand the basic tenet of the article.

I think you need to actually read the point I'd originally highlighted and was replying to.

Fulham away? You think they "waltzed through central midfield and put us under too much pressure"? West Brom at home - Cork only played the first half, but the whole side were awful that day. We were only 1-0 down when he went off. West Brom away last season - Cork didn't play. So in effect proving my point for me - we were much, much better last season when we had the partnership of Cork and Schneiderlin together and there were very few instances of opposition teams "waltzing through our midfield" when the two were playing together.

Ha ha, he's not a Spurs fan, he's a well known Chelsea supporter. The lads that I know at Spurs can't stand the bloke.

Yep, was a nightmare that. Only ground that's really tried to make us sit down in years.

I'm sorry, but that's absolute rubbish - in which games did this happen in?

Which saves did he make that were exceptional, that you wouldn't expect most good quality Prem keepers to also make?

But what about in schools, colleges, hospitals, courts? Surely you can see the issue of basic communication in many environments is severly restricted by the use of a veil? Also, why would any women choose to wear such a garment?

I know plenty who do it and will continue to sing it, despite non-Jewish people telling them to stop.

So you're saying it isn't offensive to call people "gay"?

How do they "feed wider systems of oppression"? It's just p**s taking, most of it not very funny, clever or original, but as long as it's not directly personal abuse (like you say re Petrov/Sharp), or threatening abuse, I can't see any reason why it should matter.

Unless people are actually being threatening to others, does it really matter is they take the p**s out of anyone? Why do you only limit it to race/religion/gender/sexuality? Why not physical appearance? Playing ability? Hair colour? Nationality? Being from Portsmouth? What about the Redknapp songs?

So you think a Jewish Spurs' fan, shouting "Yids" to cheer on Spurs, is "anti-semetic"? Either you're on a terrible wind up, or very, very thick.

Would you employ someone in a customer facing role wearing a veil? Would you be happy having someone teach your kids wearing one?

You don't seem to be in a majority on this thread.

No, it seems that you want the things that you find offensive banned, but aren't bothered about what other people find offensive - that's not a very open minded approach to the world.

And you're right, no chance that Ramirez will start at all on Saturday, I'd expect he's behing S. Davis in the pecking order for a starting slot away from home and maybe even behind Guly.

I've got a feeling we'll go with the same team. Will be really interesting to see how we get on in a completely different type of game to any we've faced in the last 10 or so matches.

But lots of things shouted at football probably make people feel uncomfortable, should we ban anyone shouting or singing anything that someone else might not like? You say this campaign is as a result of "resistnace against such abuse" - what abuse? Can you give examples?

To be fair, at those sorts of prices, I reckon 2.5k is about the right allocation for us. Couldn't see us taking 3k at all.
