American professorships don't count. Even the people who clean toilets in universities there are professors.

Even atheists can go to heaven. Also, it's not depression if you have a reason to be sad. It's just sadness. Which is normal.

You should try not being white. 3 posts, unfortunately no allowance for 24 hours being shorter in dog years.

Emoticon for "uncomfortable silence"?

Yeah, didn't work for us at all last season.

Use of the phrase "just about" applied to just about every situation. You don't "just about" get a shot on target. You don't "just about" clear the ball. etc. etc.

In order to cleanse every other thread on the forum of endless bedwetter vs happy clappy arguments, how about you stick it all on this thread. If it helps to get the ball rolling, both sides are wrong. It could go either way. Live with it. If you want certainty, go support Chelsea. Or Portsmouth, if you prefer a darker kind of certainty. OK thanks.

Seems to be an epidemic of these discussions. Please bear in mind that nobody else cares about your conversation. Perhaps PM is a more appropriate way to continue it?

Nobody else cares. Why not PM each other?

Judging by the serious responses, it is clear that I was wrong. Some people do care. I can't understand why.

Nobody cares

Apparently we're trying to sign some bloke called tadic.

I fully agree with everything everyone says. However, trying to change the nature of the board is pointless. I used to post pretty regularly on saintschat until about 2004 and then took a 10 year break before coming across this board last year. It's interesting to see that the behaviour, arguments, philosophical differences and, allowing for the uncertainty principle, personnel are largely unchanged. In fact, the only big difference seems to have been the transformation of crablungs from cheekie chappie into borderline depressive. Interestingly, I find following saints less enjoyable now I'm reading this board again, but for some reason I can't stay away. The point of this post: if 10 years of bannings, rules changes, and threads like this have failed to make a difference, there's no reason to think any of those approaches will work now. The solution: a non-anonymous board? Getting over it? Now, please call me a plastic tw#t and invite me to eff off.

If someone offered me 100k a week to support Liverpool, I'm pretty sure I'd accept. I think you would too.

I do quite well.

odds seriously shortening

http://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/southampton/next-permanent-manager The graph icon by each number shows you change in odds over time, and also time when betting suspended.

A lot of sites suspend books overnight.

Does anybody know of any plans for stadium expansion? With pictures?

Surprised nobody has mentioned Blackburn. Admittedly they didn't sustain success for that long, and it was a while ago, but still.

Seriously? Brilliant! Any "I drove X in my taxi from heathrow" or "my missus spoke to Y's missus in tescos" rumours come true yet?

Brilliant! X seen at local hotel! That's right out of the 2002 play book!
