Aaaaaah. I knew the "Its all Israels fault" and therefore by association "Its all the UKs fault" hacks would raise their ugly heads at some point..........

B*ll*cks. Its been going on since the time of the Pharoahs. And interestingly, there was a headline in one of the weekend papers about Persians used primitive chemical weapons on Romans in that region nearly 2000 years ago. Didnt read the article so dont know the details.

Oh, yawn. So many of those chemical precursors are dual use, and are common in the manufacture of insecticides and pesticides. People have a right to eat and not die from malaria, you know. Tell me where in the supply contracts it stated that Syria must use them for nerve gas production.

I cannot answer the question about what Britiain should do, other than the obvious that it should support diplomacy to bring the two sides of international opinion together, and support whatever proposal to move forward is agreed. As for your other question, I believe I have answered adequately. Sarin gas poisoning is a horrific way to die.

F**k knows what your agenda is, but it is patently clear on this thread that your opinion doesnt evern faintly resemble objectivity......... Did Billy **** yer missus ?

I suggest you actually watch a video of someone dying of Sarin to answer that one. Anyway, its the international community, not me that decided that one.

Annoyed, perhaps. Sorry for the spill-over from the other thread. I just found Minty's comment ironic, and wanted to explain why.

I really wish this was true. I guess I was simply too scarred by the MLT/England B vs. Russia fiasco.

I personally wish we could find alternative energy resources than Middle East oil. Then we could build a 30m high fence round the entire sodding place, and then REALLY let them sort it out themselves. They'd also pretty soon get the message if the rest of the world had decided to have nothing more to do with them on any level. I know this represents a bit of a contradiction to my anti-"do nothing" rant, but at the end of the day it would potentially provide a permanent solution rather than revisiting this sh*t 5 years later.

Sorry, this made me laugh. Nothing to do with you per se. Supporter from team other than Saints says Rickie aint good enough - "Hardly Brazil, mate" - has blinkered views. Supporter from Saints says Billy Sharp aint good enough - telling it how it really is. Rickie continues to surprise me and he should be allowed to play this out as far as it goes, so there are no "what ifs" at the end of the day. Its a pity we didnt allow the same with one of our own players..

He may well score the winner against Yookrain. Even if he does, Woy wont take him to Rio if others are fit and available. I think he will look back with pride on what he has achieved, but at some point it will be tainted with disappointment.

Really ? Could have sworn I read this morning he is a **** in the dressing room and a disruptive influence.

I look forward to the day when Minty shows some passion and jumps off the cosy fence and actually puts content into a post that stimulates discussion...

Yep, this is clearly an utterly pointless discussion. You dont like my answer, wont consider it, move on to some other b*ll*cks to try to discredit my opinion. Very tedious.

I think you misunderstand me a bit. I have absolutely no doubt about NCs intentions. He is trying to do his best by the club, and trying to get us to highest level. But he has to stand by his decisions and make them work especially when they involve so much of the owners capital. I also think he has a bit of an idealistic attitude about how he wants us to play.

He might. But it wont be pretty, and I am guessing it will grate with the disciples of the "Southampton Way". Meanwhile Gashton will continue to look pretty for 70mins, and thats about it....

A poll this weekend suggested that the UK population dont want to do anything even if Assad is proven 100% certain to have used Sarin. A low point in this proud nations history akin to handing the Cossaks over to Stalin...

Meanwhile, back at SMS, after an investment of something like 19m on attacking players in the last year, the mighty Saints are thumping them in with impunity...

Yep, the Billy-haters do themselves no favours with such specious analogies. I've even seen him compared to Forecast on here - thats just plain insulting.

Because unlike the others he was excelling right up until the time we were promoted. He deserved a chance to test himself at the next level. He wasnt given it because we bought someone else.

Oh, this is just such drivel....... Forte wasnt putting in regular decent performances in the Championship, therefore arguing he has a chance to try in the PL is utter nonsense. Billy was banging them in up until the end of the Championship season, and pushed us over the line while the rest of the team, including Rickie, were faltering. He rose to the occasion and level he was playing at. He then had a great pre-season. He rose above every hurdle put in front of him. Then he gets a period in ManC game I dont remember, and 20mins against Wigan. He didnt score. Then he is thrown out of the door. Gashton has been given oodles of time to prove himself in comparison, but cost 12m. Osvaldo has already had much longer than Billy, and has created nothing, but cost 15m. Its politics.

I just love these posts.You try to argue someone hasnt had the chance to prove themself - "hot air" Arrogance of the highest order...

FFS, who said he wont deliver ? He still may have untapped reserves to draw on, but if it does coming to a grinding halt, we've all got some great moments to remember, including him.

Club politics. I wish the "Billy Sharp is sh*t and should f**k off and save us the money" crew would at least be honest about it.

And where is the evidence ? He hasnt been allowed to try. And he did just as well as the "great and good" in the games where he was allowed in the summer 2012.
