No they are not, they are the mouthpieces of their owners, and their political allies.

You do seem to be a tad obsessed with the place. What's your take on Gatwick Airport being taken over by the French ?

Hasn't Gabbi been told he can leave ?

Oh, I agree about Carroll - should have got a straight red for the elbow, but the ref probably bottled it as he had just that minute come on. ( There was a bit in the commentary on the stream I watched where Andy Townsend said that Carroll's third touch in the game was his first contact with the ball ). But incompetence does not equate with 'robbery'.

Perhaps he feels his left side is weaker, so positions himself a couple of feet too far that way to compensate.

West Ham marked him out as the weak point in our defence, and going forward he just tried to copy Cedric, ( and in terms of his crossing, succeded ).

Possibly, but to claim we were 'robbed' implies deliberate action by the officials.

Not beaten by a better prepared and committed side ?

Pelegrini has won the PL, Ralph has managed 3 games. Perhaps experience counts.

Easy claim to make.

And our goal should probably have been disallowed for handball. Swings and roundabouts.

He is 19 years old.

Maybe the CBs shouldn't block his line of sight ?

So much for a 'poor' West Ham line-up.

Decent race horse trainer.

You're assuming there aren't any problems with the parachutes.

Merry Christmas / Jolly Saturnalia / Happy Hogswatch, whichever you feel most affiliated to.

There is already a thread where character assasinations and political slurs can be flung willy-nilly. Saintsweb seems to be developing it's own version of Godwin's Law, where any thread will end up in a peurile, Brexit related, school playground brawl. (edit) FFS !

People should be ashamed of the way this thread has gone off course.

You would think that Sussex Police have a modicum of common sense; Policeman knocks on somebody's front door - " Good evening sir, could you possibly account for your whereabouts on Wednesday evening ?" "Of course, I was working in Kent". "Can anybody verify that ?" "My Boss". Policeman then asks "And what about Friday ?" "Oh, I was driving my boss's daughter around, you can check that with him as well" "Ok, thanks. Oh, by the way, do you, perhaps own a drone ?" "No" "Ok sir, sorry for bothering you".

When did we last score 3 goals in successive games ?

"He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy".

If they do find the perpetrator, they shoul simply march him/her into the departure lounge and lock the doors. On a serious note, what a clear example to future terrorists of a low risk, high reward method for disruption.

Reaction from his own party; "Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who is one of Mr Trump's supporters and sits on the armed services committee, called the withdrawal decision a "huge Obama-like mistake", which would have "devastating consequences" both in Syria and beyond. He said he feared it would mean ceding influence in the region to Russia and Iran. Another Republican senator, Bob Corker, who is chair of the foreign relations committee, went further, saying it was "much worse" than Barack Obama's decision to pull US troops out of Iraq when he did. "This is a transactional, political decision. It is not a decision based on facts on the ground," he told the BBC. "It is going to harm us, it's going to harm the people who care about ridding the world of Isis (IS), it's harming our relations. It is a colossal mistake and it needs to be reversed." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-46632657

Can't get to this one due to our family Christmas get together, so I'll have to keep checking for updates on the match thread via my mobile phone.
