Saints will buy at CB and FB, new DoF in a month, says Telegraph
ecuk268 replied to DuncanRG's topic in The Saints
Easy to say but you can only shift players if someone wants to buy them. Has anyone ever made a bid for JWP? -
Because you turn up at the next game hoping things will have changed and that there'll be a positive result. It's the hope that kills you.

Congratulations. Your post was included in "The Fan Matrix" in yesterdays i newspaper.

He said: "No Tory could ever support a border in the Irish Sea". Boris supports a border in the Irish Sea. Does this mean he's not a Tory? No, it's another lie.
-
I think that Boris is the only one to have been sacked from 2 jobs for lying.
-
Shouldn't he be "dead in a ditch" at the moment as that was what he said he'd prefer. Just another lie.

A bit ironic that they chose to disrupt one of the most environmentally friendly forms of transport.

It's interesting to see the demographic changes in NI. By around 2021 the Catholics will be in the majority with the Unionists being predominant in the older population and the Catholics in the younger. So it might take a few years but in 10 or 15 years time we might see a united Ireland.

I recall that the Council wanted it to be more of a community facility to be used by other groups as well as SFC. The club weren't interested and wanted full control and for it to be just a football ground.

Saw Emerson at the Guildhall when he was in the Nice.

Article about Dave Merrington's concerns over Higgins. It seems that the club wanted to brush it all under the carpet once Higgins had resigned. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/10/13/special-report-didnt-southampton-have-responsibility-us-let/

I was listening to an interview with a senior Greenpeace guy. He said that both Greenpeace and Friends of The Earth frequently hold well-attended marches regarding climate change. They are always on a weekend, they liaise with the police to agree routes etc, nobody is inconvenienced and therefore they are totally ignored by the TV and newspapers. ER have been very successful in their aim which is mainly publicity and getting government to sit up and take notice.

He's seriously off his rocker. After 11000 of them had died helping the US against ISIS, he said that he was abandoning the Kurds because, among other reasons: "They didn't help us in the second World War, they didn't help us with Normandy for example"

You have to pay £10.00 just to go in there?
-
You must know a lot of them personally to be able to reach such a well-argued conclusion.

Markus intended the club to be self-financing so Gao is not any different.

Parents aren't trained in anything. When my son was born I was quite daunted about what lay ahead. You get advice but the only way that you really learn is by doing it. I suppose that we think back to what our parents did but times and society change and it can be quite a challenge. We had some help in that Mrs ecuk268 was an infant teacher so was used to handling small children and was quite good at coping with any behavioral problems. So we muddled through and he turned out fine, but there were a few worries along the way and we never even thought about smacking him..

It'll be interesting to see what happens if/when Howe leaves. The pundits are always telling us what a wonderful manager he is and, you have to admit that he's done a good job there. He couldn't hack it at Burnley but you would think that, if he's got any ambition, he'll go if a "big" club comes calling.
-
And that could all have been prevented by giving them a good whack?

Like Man U spending £60m on Fred.

The United Kingdom and the Death of Boris Johnson as we know it.

Boris has just lost his 7th consecutive vote in Parliament. God knows what Lady Bracknell would have said. -

So he loses his first six votes as PM in six days, now he's been shown to have misled the Queen. Can't be many PM's who've been so incompetent in such a short time. -
I was reading a book by the musician Joe Jackson who grew up in the Pompey area. This is his description of Paulsgrove: "Our neighbourhood was ugly. Paulsgrove consisted of council flats and semi-detached houses, like ours, the top half of which were covered with corrugated iron, which was in turn covered with peeling paint and dents made by bottles, stones and cricket balls. Some of our neighbours were kindly, but many of them were sinister, sub-human creatures. Their homes had broken windows, permanently patched with bits of wood, and kids sprawled outside them in a miasma of dirt and rubbish, dismembering toy soldiers or rusty bikes. Mothers screamed at them through clouds of fag smoke. Fathers were at work on in the pub. Some of the kids were truly wretched, snotty-nosed guttersnipes right out of Oliver Twist. Once, on my way home from school, I passed a house where a young boy was calmly taking a **** on the front step. He returned my look of astonishment with a rude gesture".
