Not been offered anything yet. Thinking of applying for a possition, which I'd stick in the "managers" bracket. The job is awesome, that's not the issues. It's the "could I live in Dubai" issue that I'm interested in.

If he'd scored against Aston Villa and got a Hat trick against Rotherham, I doubt people would be quite so excited. For some reason I can't seem to fathom, foreign sh*t teams are (apparently) better than English sh*t teams. Not knocking him, I don't begrudge him his move and wish him all the best, but lets not get too excited. £12m is a lot of money and spening £100m on Jermaine Wright wouldn't make Chamberlain any better.

Considering an employment opportunity out in Dubai and I know we have a couple of posters on here who live out there (I'll take a guess at "Dubai Phil" for one). Just wondering what it's like to live out there. I know it's an awesome holiday with great weather, beaches etc. but what's the actual day to day life like when the honeymoon period wears off? What are the things you like most about being out there and what are the things you miss the most? What problems can you foresee for a munchkin like me who's never lived out there, aside from the obvious not being able to go to Saints games?

We won at Reading under Poortaloo and I nigh on froze my tits off. I also went to Leeds under Pardew and froze my nads off as well, leaving me completely A sexual and somewhat unconvinced by my findings.

I was waiting at the customer service desk at East Midlands Airport once, behind a Northern woman and her elderly mother. After 5 minutes of arguing with the girl on the desk, they turned around, the daughter phoned up one of her relatives and said in a loud Lancashire accent, "they wont let mam on't plane with 'er bus pass!" Made me laugh anyway.

I think she's always been a bit 'Ronseal' TBH.

He cannot be prosecuted, that's the point. Capturing him alive in Yemen is highly unlikely for a start. Sending a drone up to fire a missle through his French windows is one thing, sending in a crack team of special forces is quite another. If AAA was on the move, as many terrorists are, the chance to get him could well have been lost. Ignoring all of that and assuming AAA surrendered to US force and was flown safely to the US, he just wouldn't get a fair trial. As I said, the jury wouldn't be able to see most of the evidence and the jury is likely to be highly biased in their judgement. This is a country with Pastor Terry Jones and his clan of Quran burners. A high profile Islamic fundamentalist would be found guilty before he got off the plane.

Aside from the logistics of extracting a man from Yemen for trial in the US, that trial would be a farce. For a start most of the evidence against him would be top secret and US intelligence would be compromised if it and it's sources was leaked to the public. Imagine that in court. "Next up the trial of Anwar al-Awlaki... oh there isn't any evidence we can put forward... okay you're free to go and live in a beach house in Miami"

So his supporters now hate the west and want to kill us. How exactly does that differ from when he was alive. It's all well and good them calling him a martyr, but a dead body can't orchestrate terrorist activities. To get the reputation he has AAA must have masterminded some pretty evil sh*t. I'm glad the world is rid of such a sick mind and I really can't fathom why people think differently. It's almost a 'die and let live' philosophy.

US citizen or not, if the US government has proof that he is responsible for planning terrorist attacks, they have the right to take him out. What I find odd is why these journalists talk as if they know everything about government intelligence. As if just because the govt hasn't released their information, it can't exist. Obama is hardly going to come out and say "we have proof, it was sent to us by Durka Durka Mohammed Jehad, our top secret mole within the Al Quaida top brass." Is the world a better place because of this assasination? We'll never know either way I guess.

Wycombe had the best HT entertainment I've seen when we went there a couple of seasons ago. A penalty shoot out between 2 local kids teams, with Saints supporting the team shooting into our goal and Wycombe shooting into the goal at the other end. The Saints fans were all properly getting behind the kids and cheering loudly when they scored. Nice to see, especially as the kids were actually from Wycombe.

'Northam Lite' probably sums it up.

Tickets booked for this. Cheers Spuds.

Vignal, Skacel and Pahars all had a perfect record for us too.

Hair makes up 46% of the human body mass. Make of this what you will.

Well, he has got to prove himself to be better than Jermain Wright, Rory Delap, Tomasz Hajto and Lloyd James. Some world class tallent right there.

First 3 goals all deliveries from the right today. Can't remember from who exactly, but FR definitely set up Guly's goal. Keep it up lad!

Living up here in Brizzle and keeping half an eye on the local teams got me thinking. With Rovers relegated to League 2 last season and City now bottom of the Championship, there really doesn't seem to be any joy for either fans. This in the 7th largest city in England. If they renamed City to something neutral, like "Utd" or "Athletic" and built a new SMS style stadium in the middle of the city somewhere, then just 'got rid' of Rovers some how, they'd have a decent Premier League sized club. My question is, if you were a Rovers or a City fan, would you support that team? On the one hand, you would be sharing with your nearest rivals, on the other hand they are all from the same city and it would give both sets of fans a shot at some long term success. I think I would support them.

I'm surprised there's no 'Keep up Brighton' thread as well as this one. 1 point from their last 4 league games (3-3 lol at home to Leeds), I thought people on here would be all over that like flies on dog muck.

Surely the "we're coming for you" chant is now redundant. We have long surpassed Portsmouth, we could lose every game from now until we play them in December and we'd still be above them in the table.

He's on the bench. We signed him on Wednesday and kept it quiet. Seriously though, the tie implies this is more than a casual visit.

I think the most angry I've ever been at at Saints game was the 3-0 home defeat under Burley in 07/08. We we completely useless and Burley just didn't have a clue. We had Jermaine Wright playing at LB and Euell playing LM, it was the slowest most useless left flank I've ever seen. They made Van Damme and McCann look like Roberto Carlos and Figo. I think what capped it all off for me was Burley sitting there for 88 minutes like a lemon, then bringing on Adam Hammill with 2 minutes left (and playing him on the left where he is useless anyway). To make it worse, we had Licka and Skacel sat on the bench and Vignal wasn't even in the squad. Cannot believe the Scots thought he was there man, but I ruptured my anus laughing when they actually paid to take him off our hands.

So if I have this right, one Saints fan has made a racist slur against a player. I agree he's a complete c**t for saying it, but that's hardly endemic of Saints fans in general. If you get 20,000 people in one place, you will invariably get a couple of kn*bbers in there, just report them to the stewards.

I wouldn't let it get to you. It's only lazy journalism, anyone with half a brain will know AOC came from Saints and anyone without half a brain can check it out on wikipedia. Besides, I don't care if the whole world thinks our accademy is sh*t. I'd rather nobody knew about the likes of Bale, Walcott, AOC and Lallana until they're 18, on a proffesional contract and you have to kiss Cortese's arse to buy them.
