So this is the reason our National game is in such good shape....................

Its called empathy and understanding, also you may get them to actaully play better? I understand Reed is respected in World football and Gerrard is not, hold on..................

The Southampton equivlent of the Chelsea plastic flag waver will disagree and say endlessly say back to back promotions, new all seater stadiums, lovely if you want that, I dont I want a stadium thats original and one that generates an atmosphere.

Who signs the players at Southampton and how many people are on this committee?

Yes I have no time for mollycoddling the modern footballer, but I do have time for a young lad away from home and being worried about playing well for England, thats simply crap coaching and a lack of empathy, in short crap modern people skills.

Not yet, you buying though?

So what has Les Reed done in football?

Who signs the players at Southampton FC, thats all we want to know.

Thats why a great footballer like Gerrard rates him, who as footballing goes do you respect more? http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2006/dec/15/newsstory.liverpool

Also so you did not want us promoted as it was too soon? You were the one crying last May at our entrance to the premiership?

Judge Les Reed on what exactly?

Really, maybe wont take the Mrs then.

3 points or nothing.

Boring monotone forced atmospheres? Mercenaries with no attachment to the English game nor love for it. Too much football on tv is killing the game, saturated to the point of boredom. More upmarket appeal to the game? In real terms that means the game has been taken away from the working class.

I have an English pointer and he is far from obedient.

Really? Did nof know Wigan were like that, in fact are they at all?

Not neccessarily their grounds well they are better than ours though and generate more atmosphere, Sunderland fans miss Roker and the atmosphere.

I did an article on atmospheres and the middle classes and got hammered for it, it carries weight though that the best atmospheres are the ones with their traditional support with their original grounds and their local supporters.

Ron Atkinson would be a blast, easy transition period as Nige and Big Ron are both orange so no need to move beds into the City.........................

There are many in Germany that also want out, there are different groups Small Countries who obviously benefit, Ireland, Greece,Portugal Large companies who seek closer intergration for cheaper costs and this is the main one as big business is generally closer to the right than it is the left, the tories will have to tread carefully on that issue and they will lose donations and big hitting supporters. People who feel that Europe has alienated them from their power base and taken it to a centralized place. Loss of identity. Less power to impose law, taxation and military defence. More bureaucracy.

No, I would like to see and then aquire his interview skills Pearsy..........................

So now with this buying commitee we have a fellow who is an accountant, a person so hated by the Charlton fans that they talk of him now with a grimmace and Happy go Lucky Nige, Christ walking into that meeting would scare the **** out of an experienced agent...............

Les Reed that footballing genius still revered by the Charlton fans...................

All I want to know as a net contributor to the European Union what do we actually get out of it that recipients of our money dont?

Thats only ever a small proportion of the grounds, not all, about 40%/50% of that ground and we are talking Bayern Munich here the most popular team in Germany are 40 euros or less. I was wrong though as I thought all games were capped at $20 Euro for a larger section of the stadiums, still too be fair there is an awful way to go until we get anywhere near that.
