  1. I think that you're being delusional if you think that what the fans think or do has any effect on the running of a multi-million pound business. There were many quite vehement protests during the wilderness years of Branfoot but none had any effect. The thing that did was falling attendances in an era when gate money was more important than it is now. In particular, an evening game against Ipswich was said to have had an attendance of about 11500. As anyone who was in ground could have seen, it was more like 8500-9000 which was terrible for a first-team fixture. Branfoot left shortly after.
  2. Martin Hunter also gone. https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/17210305.technical-director-martin-hunter-has-left-southampton/?f

  4. Who actually appoints Reed's replacement? Surely it needs to be someone with a good knowledge of the football scene worldwide. That's not Ralph or Kat, so who advises them?
  5. You would have thought that they wouldn't have sacked Les without having his replacement lined up. Can't afford to hang about with over a quarter of the season gone. If changes are going to be made, the sooner the better.
  6. Could that be connected with the fact that Singapore has just signed a free trade agreement with the EU?
  7. Steven Seagal was a navy cook in some film or other and went on to rout the bad guys single-handed. So they must be a tough bunch.
  8. How do you think that the troubles were ended? By the two sides talking. There was no military solution and a certain amount of dialogue was going on for years until Blair finally sorted it out. Pragmatism won in the end.
  9. Are you referring to Willie Whitelaw in 1972?
  10. Liam Fox did. He said that a trade deal with the EU would be "one of the easiest in human history". He then said that we could copy and paste all of the EU's 40 trade deals "the second after midnight at the end of March 2019". He later said that no deal was the most likely option. Along with "failing" Grayling, he must be one of the most incompetent ministers in a pretty useless bunch.
  11. Boris is anything that you want him to be. He'd probably support Corbyn if he thought it would advance his ambitions.
  12. Don't sit on the fence. Tell us what you really think.

  14. If you get a slightly older machine, forget about Windows and go for a flavour of Linux (I use Ubuntu). All the software is free and with Libre Office you have a virtual equivalent of Microsoft Office. It supports Chrome, Firefox and Opera for web browsing and there's other software freely available for thing like photo editing, ripping CDs etc. It's also a lot less susceptible to viruses as the hackers all target Windows.
  15. My memory may be fading but didn't they have pre-poured beers when the stadium first opened? Also go for contactless card payments only. it works on the London buses and cuts out fiddling about with change.
  16. I'd advise seeing a Financial Adviser (preferably one that's been recommended by someone else). I did this about 18 months before I retired and he did a very good job in sorting out my various pensions and they now manage my pension pot and are always on hand for advice. You pay for it of course but it avoids making expensive mistakes if you don't know much about it.
  17. Does that include Minis and Rolls Royces?
  18. Is that Bob Higgins's team?
  19. Pretty much the case with most of the Premiership clubs. Obviously it's easier for a youngster to come into a team in League 1 or the Championship but they have to be exceptional to walk into Premier League team.
  20. Her relatives should find out where he lives and go and have a "chat" with him.
  21. On a spiritual level I'd prefer the Daily Mail but I refuse to spend money on that demented rag.
  22. Already been tried by Thatcher. Detention centres with mindless military-style discipline mainly for juveniles and young adults, 90% of which were in there for nicking something. One inmate said: “I can’t say whether I’ll go out and pinch again or not, but I can tell you that drilling hasn’t made any difference. It makes me better, I think. I enjoy it, it passes the time more quickly and it makes us fit. Next time, we’ll just run faster from the coppers won’t we?” Some of these centres are now being investigated as part of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.
  23. I find it soft and absorbent.
  24. It's the old debate about "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter". In 1948, the Zionist Irgun group bombed the King David hotel killing 91 people, mainly hotel staff. Netanyahu has called it a "legitimate target". A couple of days ago the Saudi-led coalition fired a rocket into a school bus in Yemen killing 29 children. In March they did the same to a crowded market killing 90. Why aren't the papers haranguing Theresa May to condemn the Saudis? She won't, of course because we flog them weapons. They are no different to those that are called terrorists, the outcome is the same. Yet all the tabloids can go on about is Corbyn being present at some obscure ceremony.
  25. If you go to purgatory, you are made to suffer for your sins before eventually going to heaven. If you end up in hell, presumably that's it and your stuck there.
