Sad about Lord Hutton but very good to have you back on the site Verbal. I may have looked at things from a different angle but the quality of debate has deteriorated significantly since you put down your mouse. I hope that you are keeping well.

Brilliantly succinct

Which players who left do you think could have been persuaded to stay?

I loved Fonte and he really could have been a Saints legend. I seem to remember him being 'linked' with Man United. I interpreted that rightly or wrongly that his agent was touting him around.

I am not expecting any great revival but I hope that gaining control of our waters will give us the opportunity to develop pioneering policies that will allow fish stocks to be managed ethically and responsibly. It should be an opportunity to make our waters the greenest and most sustainable in the world. I believe that the internal politics of the Commons Fisheries Policy make this impossible to pursue these strategies effectively.

Shocking

It all added to the pantomime. There was another guy who when somebody passed to Benali would yell out "don't give it to their danger man!"

I don't remember him saying 'their is clouds comin in over the dell' but I do remember a loudish Irishman. There was also a chap that used to be constantly shouting in an irate voice "FORWARD MAGILTON"

No! They are not giving the story the proper context. My Grandfather used to say how he waved the Titanic Off.

All good thank you I hope with you too

Sad news but welcome back Sadoldgit.

Sad new Lord D. I hope that your wife is OK.

A somber assessment. Sometimes people can just make up their minds. Thank Mrs D for her efforts on the front line.

I hope he surprises you Lord D. Your poor wife.

Ditto SaintClarke. Must be very tough.

The conduct of some clubs and their playing staff will amplify the disconnect between them and their fan base. We became customers and not supporters some time ago but the response of some clubs to this crisis exposes just how dreadful the people who run and operate in our sport. Their warped values are exemplified by the decision of some to exploit the furlough initiative, that is designed to moth ball our ailing leisure and other industries that have been decimated by the lock down to enable them to bounce back when this wicked virus has run its course. There seems to be a consensus from the likes of Wayne Rooney and co that it is better to circle their wagons rather than do the right thing. Shame on them.

That is quite extraordinary.

Somebody told me that a week or so ago it cost $3000 to have a test. Even a tenth of that will mean that there will be know rush to be tested.

That was powerful stuff and a good barometer. I hope that things are good now.

Great news.

I never understand why people run down our players. People really do have unrealistic expecations. He is ferociously passionate when he plays for us and is a player probably marginally above our level. Maybe if people got behind him he might stay and give even more.

Good analogy

The older that you are the more likely that you are to vote out. The younger you are the more likely you are to have a degree.

Thanks

Would be well received!
