Absolutely f**king hideous. This seasons away kit has grown and grown on me. Big fan of it, would like it very much if VFTTs post about it shifting to 3rd kit is true. If we have red/white home and yellow/blue 3rd, the away kit is going to be some sort of black kit, I reckon.

Anders Svensson (the one that knocked those pesky Argies out)

Wasnt Anders still with us at this time ? -
Has Mitchell followed his dad into professional footie ??

I wasnt expecting Messi to sign but I was hoping our sights would be a bit higher than Sweaty Premier League players.
-
He's from Liverpool ? Quelle Surprise.
-
He'll be out until next year, I reckon.

Something not widely known - in most European Christian countries, a church wedding is NOT a legally binding wedding. Here in Austria you have to have a civil wedding first, and the church wedding comes afterwards (usually on the same morning). Therefore its more about union in front of God with the church's blessings. Therefore, I am of the opinion that all LEGAL weddings should have equal LEGAL status, so if a nations parliament legalises same-sex weddings it should have equal LEGAL status as that of hetero weddings. The follow-up church service should stay the same - restricted to only hetero couples, since that is the beliefs of the church, the houses of which these services take place in, and no amount of pressure group activity should be allowed to change that. If the CoE permits church services for same-sex couples (the RC church, Islam and Judaism will never permit it), imo that denomination has ceased to be credible.

Hoddle was probably our best manager of the lat 20 years, but he was an arrogant tosser. Pearson made some bold decisions about our defence and saved us, and for that he is popular even though it was a short reign. Adkins isnt finished here yet, and could become the best and most popular manager in our history bar none. We shall see. I am a little bit nervous that he will be out of his depth in the PL, but we wont have long to wait to find out. Strachan gave us some success, will always be a fans favourite, but the question about what level he could have reached will always be open because he quit because the Dark Lord didnt support him. I cant work out how to feel about Pardew; he did a good job, was good in the transfer market, but was imo an arrogant tosser like Hoddle. What amuses me most is the fact Burley's record looks so good on paper, but his team choked key games and he made odd selections and played odd tactics, and the passing of time means less and less respect for him is being shown. I think personally what troubles people about him was he was given so much support and totally lacked ambition and committment. Wigley's showing is just about what I would have expected. I hate him for not being honest and realising he wasnt up to the job.

Was it REALLY worth it, I wonder ???? http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/may/13/manchester-city-leeds-premier-league

I like this seasons away kit very much - maybe a slight variation on the same theme.

Kenwyne Jones and Kevin Phillips (if he makes it up with Blackpool)

I remember I used to go round a mates flat on Saturday afternoon and we'd drink some beer and get ready for a night on the town. Whilst doing this we'd listen to the game on Solent. That jingle used to strike fear into our hearts. They should bring it back.

Hardly surprising, they are almost Trotskyite.

Shaddap you wet fanny.

You gotta love British defence procurement...
alpine_saint replied to alpine_saint's topic in The Lounge
3 times over the odds ?? FFS, thats 7 BILLION. It would pay for both Cat n" Trap conversions (even at the BAE / Government ridiculous estimate of 2billion per ship), 2 Type 45s (500m per ship) AND 2 more Astutes (1bn per ship). If the Government had the BALLs to push back at BAE, they could get the cat n trap cost down to 1 billion per ship I reckon leavin enough money for more Type 45s. We're being had. Do these companies see the MoD coming ???? -

So the deed is done. Having given away 1billion worth of VSTOL aircraft of limited capability, and are in the process of scrapping 3 carriers only (but still) capable of carrying a handful anyway, we have switched back to more VSTOL aircraft of limited capability (which the US is backing out of buying for itself very, very rapidly) , of which we will only put a handful on the 2 new carriers despite their ability to carry many, many more. The 2 new carriers are therefore 3 times the size of the displacement of the carriers they replace, with not a shred of capacity/capability improvement..... Oh, and the flip-flop of the type of aircraft to purchase as cost us so much in terms of feasibility study, planning and contractors penalties, that we could have got ourselves another Type 45 destroyer for our emasculated surface fleet, or another half of an Astute submarine. Absolutely inspired..... Oh, and BAE are bunch of manipulative c**ts too. 2 billion for Cats 'n Traps. What b*ll*cks. Is there any silver lining ? Well, theoretically the two carriers could both go into full service now, and at an earlier date, but will they ? Personally, I have my doubts either will reach commissioning... -
The Yanks, Israelis and Aussies should f**k off - they're our aircraft. I hate the way that inept British management f**ks everything up and lets foreigners capitalise on our bright ideas or our hard work.

Sadly. The nation is crying out for that sort of leadership currently.

One could argue that it is simply down to differences in clubs fortunes, literally, but for me that doesnt wash. However we may feel about Lowe's stewardship and Fry's administration, I have never heard of sh*t like this going down at SMS whilst we were in admin.

Jesus. The ultimate low. and apparently not even the first time. F**king disgrace. This crap cannot be allowed to continue a second longer than necessary. Liquidate that swamp of a club.

Yes, but I dont consider myself to be any of those. I would consider myself to be impatient and a little insecure, neither of which has any sort of correlation to the left-wing characteristics I listed above. For examples of the personality trait I've listed in left-wingers, you need look no further than the likes of George Galloway and Polly Toynbee.

Excellent series, can now be bought as one joined (6 hour long) film.

As sub movies go, that has to rate as the absolutely worst adaption of a book.

Lefties are boring and spectacularly unfunny/non-humourous because they tend to be pompous, superior, arrogant, condescending and above all, utter, utter HYPOCRITES.
