lay into Slang 1. To scold sharply. 2. To attack physically; beat up. I don't have to TRY to be clever

I suppose that in your view the following also apply ; France is governed by a frog, Spain by a spick, Italy by a wop, and Belgium by a sprout ?

And I would suggest that it is 'lay into', not as you have put it I suppose you found his comments about lorry drivers murdering prostitutes highly amusing also ? The man is a jumped up junior reporter from a provincial newspaper based in Rotherham.

I think that most complaints will be on the basis that we pay the pr1ck, ( Clarkson that is ). It's just of those pre-planned slips of the tongue that today's OK / HELLO aware 'celebrities' need to generate to maintain their public profile. ( For instance, wtf does Kerry Katona actually do for a living ? ) Clarkson has a persona with which he tries to position his mid 40's, slightly overweight, hairline receeding opinions with the mid 20's EVO driving kn0bs who worship at the altar of Top Gear.

Well she certainly hits every target :smt071:gib: I loved the bit about Rupert reading out the letter "he'd obviously written to himself". What was the bit about the Board bringing in 5 players without consulting the bank ? ( Got a bit distracted at that point and there is a lot in there to digest ) What chance on old rosey cheeks accepting an opportunity to respond ?

The problem with the graph above is that what is most relevant is the last 2-300 years, and the axis / scale is far too broad to show that. Try this page for some more definitive, and more scary, information ; http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/2008/. Whilst those that say the earth is going through a geological cycle are correct, and we are currently in the midst of a spate of 'ice ages', the impact of pollution and and the emissions from the use of carbon based fuels over the last 200 year is accelerating any underlying upward trend. You also need to consider how small an increase in CO2 as a percentage of the atmosphere is calculated to trigger the 'greenhouse effect'.

TBH, at present I think the solution is to shoot somebody.

Please, in the name of all that is holy, go. Just go. Leave. Depart. Walk away. Don't look back. Don't hesitate. Don't pause to reconsider. No second thoughts. Accept that it's over. Please. PLEASE. PLEASE.

Nah, he's not that mobile

Wotte's been here, and an active part of the management setup, all season. There is no comparison to make - the dutch disaster continues to drag Southampton FC ever deeper into the mire.

I thought this was a football forum

You waited until post#146, what kept you ?

Well we could have started with 8, by adding Mule, BWP, and Rudi. Wotte is just the same dutch mistake but with a different face.

We have a worse manager than we had then as well !

Did you start this thread because you were losing the exact same debate on the post-match one ?

Because NP inherited a sh1te team from Gormless & Dudd, whereas Wotte has been a full part of the setup from the start of the season, and in all probability had been pulling JP's strings for most of the time he was nominally in charge.

Saints started with 6 experienced players - Davis, Saejis, Perry, Wotton, Saganowski, and Surman ( who is 22 and has started over 100 senior games ). Also, McGoaldrought has been an ever present this season ( which probably explains a great deal ).

That's the story of our season :confused:

The worst part of what now seems almost inevitable is that I will lose my two 'home' games next season - Preston and Blackpool; Stockport & Crewe are the nearest, but they are further away than the Dingles at Turf Moor

By my reckoning: Norwich P 31 Pts 32 GD -7 Derby P 29 Pts 32 GD -11 Barnsley P 30 Pts 32 GD -12 Donny P29 Pts 31 GD -12 Watford P 30 Pts 30 GD -11 Saints P 31 Pts 28 GD -19 Charlton P 31 Pts 22 GD -23 At least 8 of our remaining games are away

Well it isn't !:mad::mad::mad:

Why the f@@k can't we win at home ? This is pure carp. EDIT: just as I typed this in we scored

I think you are right in that pre-game a point would have been viewed as a good result. However, once the team selection was made public, I would think everybody's hearts sank into their boots, and the first half became an entirely predictable charade. From the half-time position 2-2 is definitely a point gained, but what if we were 3 or 4 down, which without KD ( AGAIN !!! ) we could have been. We got out of jail tonight, but nothing actually seems to have changed with regard to selection, tactics, or motivation.

Not a 'good start' at all; an extremely poor start ( ie the selection, tactics, and 1st half performance ), but he did at least recover the situation from being a complete disaster ( by accepting plan 'A' wasn't working ). It is imperative that he shows something more against Swansea.

It would be a bl00dy miracle ! They have won their last 5 games, 2 cup & 3 league, including knocking the blue scum out of the cup; mind you I think it was 8 successive draws before that.
