Am I alone in thinking that JRod is nowhere near returning yet and that at best we wont see him until the end of the season?

Okay but I am not sure why. Most "top" teams have 4 strikers. I don't see Long as an out and out striker so we have.....one. If we still get goals from elsewhere this is not a problem but another proven goal scorer would be good.

Rut, how are you? Remember your from the good old days of the SaintsList.

Spent some time on this thread today and just wanted to round things off. Do I like looking at fit young women flashing their boobs? Yes. Do I think they should be displayed every day in a family newspaper? No Do I want girls prevented from making money from showing there boobs? No. Are there other more appropriate places that they could sell pictures of their body? Yes. What is the problem?

Says he has done nothing wrong. That's okay then.

Don't care how much money we have. I have always loved the fact that we are a "small" club that can punch above its weight.

True Detective is coming back with a new cast and a new story line. Good move.

Bottom line, we cant/don't compete with wages/big club status. Players will leave for more money/bigger club. On the upside there are plenty of decent players who will play for us on the way up.

We do have these CB but not to the same extent as the USA.

Sarnia, it is worth arguing because we all need to understand where each other is coming from.

Jesus, how cr@p is This Week? I have heard about TV dumbing down but this takes the biscuit. The Page 3 issue was just embarrassing.

Funnily enough my wife said she looks like an ex Page 3 girl!

Looking at QT tonight and listening to the nice man from UKIP it occurred to me that The Sun really isn't being true to itself. If it was it would be supporting UKIP. The following programme has been interesting. A "model" fought her corner supported (given the premise that turkeys don't vote for Chrismas) by former NI employee Andrew "Brillo Pad" Neil. At the end of the day, there is no reason whatsoever that it is okay to put sexual images in a family newspaper. The key word here is "family." On a higher note, the vast majority of people in this country choose not to buy or read The Sun.

Actually I think guns are cool and used to love shooting an air rifle when I was a kid. I can see the appeal. I can also see that they are very dangerous and in the wrong hands, as they often seem to be, they cause so much damage. It is hard for someone to run amok with a knife and kill loads of people but so easy with a gun. Guns also go off accidently even when people think they know how to handle them and innocent people lose their lives. No banning guns will not stop violence, but it will stop people being shot.

Wasn't a bad start to his career with us though was it

Tabloid newspapers are just that, newspapers. Newspapers are often delivered to people's houses and the people in the house - usually families - read those newspapers. Jazz mags are called things like Playboy and Men Only. There is usually a hint in the titles that said magazine contains, erm, adult material. The Sun has always marketed itself as a family newspaper, as does the Mirror. To be fair to the Mirror they didn't go down the topless bird route (if they ever did I missed that). The Mail and Express are also tabloid newspapers. Many of the old broadsheets have also shrunk and aren't really broadsheets any more.

What are we praying for? That he is badly injured?

Not a fan of Koeman then? And wasn't Toby carrying a knock?

You have not been following the thread then? It is not a question of stopping them getting their boobs out for cash - it is whether a national daily family newspaper is the place for their boobs in the first place.

Page 3 is not the only place girls can get paid for getting their boobs out.

I am not saying that my daughters have body image issues just from Page 3. They are bombarded with images from all forms of media. Obviously the Page 3/ lads mag type is slim legs and waist and big boobs. I don't know about you but I don't know many, if any, women with bodies like that. These are the images that are presented as want men find sexually attractive. This is the benchmark. This is also unrealistic. Re body image, you will probably know that anorexics think they are fat when they are not.
