Yep, Alan McLoughlin for me. Our first £1m player I believe and a total let down.

And to think they replaced Alan Shearer!

So it has been announced that "Gashton" has finally been released by the club. This could be the first day in the history of The Saints Web that Alpine has cracked a smile.

This from the MI5 website this morning - Current threat from international terrorism in the UK - Severe (not it doesn't mention from Muslims specifically) Current level for NI related terrorism - Severe Current level for NI related terrorism in Britain - Substantial Severe = attack highly likely Substantial = attack is a strong possibility These were first published in 2006 in which time the international threat has varied between Critical, Severe and Substantial. The NI threats have been published since 2010 and changed from moderate to substantial in Britain in August 2014. Given that no one knows exactly what anyone is going to do where and at any given time, the threats of severe and substantial are not hugely different. Highly likely/strong possibility. You might want to hide from those pesky Muslims, but if I were you I would also keep on ear out for an Irish accent too Batman. I know that is a bit tricky when you are all cooped up in a sub though

I suppose you could argue that the better quality of the assist the better the chance of scoring from it?

Its not that I don't like it, it is just that I think it is very foolish to assume anything where terrorists are concerned. You might say an IRA attack on British mainland before another ISIS attack here is about as likely as Leicester winning the premiership. Get my drift? I would sincerely hope that those in the security side of the military give more thought to general terrorist threats than you do Batman.

G4.

Bloody hell, where do I start? You spent at least the whole of one summer at least saying that we should keep hold of our players like they did and run the club like they did. Why do you think CB Fry keeps going on about I wish we could be like Everton (Stoke, West Ham, Crystal Palace etc)? It is because of your posts!

And what I am trying to say to you is that terrorist threats are possible from many quarters and it isn't very bright to worry about one particular area when threats still exist from elsewehere.

I would have thought you would be impressed with their ambition, afterall, didn't you wish we could be like them?

So usual internet b*ll*cks then.

I don't know. He managed to **** his sister in law for years without being found out.

So why mention them then?

So are you saying that we should discount and not prepare for any other terrorists threats from any other than Islamic sources then? Thanks for the advice but I shall continue to worry about any possible terrorist attack rather than just from one possible source.

Have Everton approached Mourinho, Koeman or Giggs then?

So is it more important to worry about Muslim terrorists or Irish terrorists? Or perhaps we should just be worried about terrorists in general and be wary of threats where ever or from whoever they may come from? Frankly I'd rather not be blown up by an Islamic terrorists or an IRA fanatic.

Perhaps they need a refresher about his successful activities since he left?

Perhaps we are supposed to be more upset if it is Muslims trying to kill us rather than Catholics?

Sadly I think you are right. They will all crawl out of the woodwork the minute it looks like we are going to sell a player too. Gotta love the close season and the wrist slitters!

..

How often do IS use "suspect packages" in their operations? How often do the IRA use "suspect packages" in their operations? Wouldn't the more logical guess be the IRA out of the 2?

I will say again, think about how the IRA operate and think about how IS operate. Do IS leave "suspect" packages around? I think most people wouldn't stand around wondering who was threatening to blow them up they would just get the hell out of there. The first you know about a bomb threat by IS is when it goes off. The IRA threat is still active and they plant explosive devices rather than use suicide bombers but once again, I really don't think that people stop to worry about where the threat is coming from do they?

Do people stop to think who the terrorists are when there is a bomb scare? I would think the first thought would be to get away safely then worry about who might have done it later. You don't get many bomb scares with suicide bombers as it just happens. Bomb scares tend to come with organisations like the IRA.

Or maybe they just heard that from his presser when he said exactly the same thing?

Apparently my actual transgression was to mention "plane crash" on a football forum. I used the expression for the same reason. Players and managers leaving a club do not constitute a disaster. A plane crash does. But moving on....given that we have faced several "disasters" since our days in Division 1 - 4 managers and goodness knows how many players have come and gone, we haven't done too badly have we?
