I believe Milford on Sea is one of the most popular holiday destinations for people in Dubai. They have a highly developed sense of irony.

We haven't had many central midfielders who get goals in recent years. Think the best was Surman getting about 7 the season we got relegated from the CCC. Chaplow's on his way to topping that.

I wonder if they would switch it to the Millenium if that happened and just compensate Wembley some how. I hope not, it would be pretty good to see a train full of Welshers beating the crap out of each other.

Agbonlahor? Has 3 goals this season. With 4 other strikers plus Young and Walcott I'd have thought another midfielder would be better. Albrighton is a good shout. I'd also give a nod to Jack Rodwell or Kieran Richardson based on this season's form.

Great article, I think he's got it dead on there. Top Gear tries to be funny, when it just shouldn't. It should be an interesting fact based car programme, but with hints of humour thrown in. When I say interesting and fact based, I don't just mean reviews of new cars, customer performance reviews etc. Stuff like the North Pole expedition and driving cheap cars accross various continents is interesting. I just wish they'd do it as more of a social and technological experiment, as opposed to a set up for a half baked slapstick comedy. Hammond can feck off too. Coogan is right, he's just a lame Clarkson wannabe and he's seldom funny.

You have the funniest username on this forum.

I liked that chant. I was stood there (joining in) and thinking 'I've been to a couple of dosen away games over the years and never heard that chant, is it new or am I a mong?' If you did indeed create it, I tip my hat to you sir. Whilst we're on the subject, liked the Cortese chant. We could also sing his name to the Conga (i.e. Jhon Viafara) tune. Was there also a "swing low" for Chaplow? Chaplow Richard Chaplow He's got nothing on his head. Something like that.

Just back. P*ssed off. If we'd gone there and drawn 1-1 I'd have gone 'meh' and got on with my life. Throwing away a 2 goal lead. TWICE in injury time of both halves. That's unforgiveable, even if a point at Posh is a good result. I don't personally think we played that well. 3 of the goals were set pieces and the other was scrappy to say the least. Other than that we struggled to create anything. We were terrible second half. After going 4-2 up we never seemed to string 2 passes together. Even without Jaidi in the equation, we looked very wobbly up against the pace of their forward line. Davis I thought was at fault for the first 2. Rooted to his line and beaten at the near post for the first. Final thought. I don't think we'll make the top two. I know there's a long way to go, Lallana coming back, new signings to gel etc. but I just don't see us being consistent enough.

Top Gear would be brilliant if they could just stop the stupid, scripted crap that comes out as nothing more than really bad slapstick comedy. Last weeks episode was a prime example. They should get rid of Hammond. No where near as funny as he thinks he is and needs a haircut. His lame attempts at humour are far more suited to the Jeremy Kyle/Loose women type viewers of daytime TV. It's a shame because some episodes have been really excellent. The Winter Olympics they did a few years ago was innovative, informing and at times funny. For those that can't remember, it's the one where they raced an Audi and a Volvo across a cross country skiing course (and had to do the shooting from lying in the back of their cars and launched a mini off a ski jump. The first USA road trip and the Botswana road trip were both brilliant too.

I reckon it'll be a 0-0 draw.

Another I quite like, the RB7. Nothing too radical here, why would there be.

I'd be inclined to agree with you on that; and they're up against some pretty stiff competition. I'd be careful using phrases like "worst player" though. You can't say that anymore, it's very un-PC and some people can get highly offended by it. The correct PC term would be "scapegoat" "whipping boy" or "example of why so many Saints fans are c**ts".

Overall it's excellent. The airbox looks pretty novel too. Will be interesting to see if anyone steals a march on the others, like Brawn and to a lesser extent Toyota with the double diffuser in '09. I like the new Merc too. I like the Renault design, but overall I'm put off by the livery and the fact that they're just a naff, fake Lotus (not saying Team Lotus is any more Legit). Why couldn't they have kept the name as just 'Renault' and had Lotus sponsorship on the black and yellow from last year. I really liked that livery, except for the red wing end plates, which look even worse on the R31. Also the Pirelli logo should be curved to match the shape of the wheel. It just looks stupid.

Just seen the new Mclaren. It's pretty good, other than sidepods which look like they fell off the very top of the ugly tree, hit every branch on the way down and landed on Mick Hucknall.

Most of the problems in football can be sorted with a very simple rule change. You can only spend x% of your turnover on wages and only y% of your turnover on transfers. Let's say x and y added up to about 60%. That way clubs are left with 40% to spend on running costs improving their infrastructure. There's loads of benefits to it. - The big clubs still get the biggest transfer and wage budgets as their turnover is much higher. - Smaller clubs like Pompey wouldn't be allowed to spend way beyond their means to try and stay in the Prem. Everyone has to live within their means. If that doesn't give you the players to stay in the Prem, you don't deserve to be ther. - No sugar daddies bankrolling clubs like Man City and Chelsea ruining English football. - Smaller clubs have more chance of holding on to players like Walcott, AOC, Lallana etc. - Better infrastructure being developed at grounds. This means: - - Better youth set ups, more home grown tallent and a better national side. - - Fewer matches postponed as more grounds have undersoil heating, better covers, drainage etc.

On my street - 3 In my local area - 1132 Not going to leave my street ever again.

F ducts banned, KERS is back (although the new teams haven't got it) and there are variable rear wings which can be lowered to overtake when you're within 1s of the car infront. Could be interesting.

Are you talking about the season in general or just tonights game?

I'm not that excited, but you can't in all honnesty criticise Forte unless you've seen him play half a dosen games. At least see him play once before questioning his signing.

We were fairly underwhelmed by signings like Harding, Antonio, Otsemobor, Seaborne and Martin in the last year or so, but they've all come in and done a pretty decent JFU. These aren't the Lowe days of making pointless signings the manager has never heard of, like Forecast, Pulis and Gasmi. We signed Forte because Adkins clearly rates him, having already managed him at a previous club. Obviously there is something about him that Adkins likes otherwise he wouldn't have bothered. That should be good enough for anyone on here, regardless of what wiki or any of the Scunny forums say.

People gathered around Stoke's training ground this evening. Why? Just why would you stand there freezing your tits off. Are they expecting to sign Ronaldo or something?

Lambert could of course be signing for Middlesborough, Sunderland or Hartlepool.

It's simply astounding how he can just to such depressing conclusions based on absolutely nothing. Going from "Liverpool have bid £35m+ for Carroll" to "Saints wont get promoted" in one post really takes a mongumental effort.

Or John Knox from Stenhousemuir.
