Surely we should be pointing our finger at the people who gave him a £80k pw contract (if indeed that is what he is on) It is scandalous what contracts Les etc was handing out. Hopefully now he is gone there is a bit more sense going on

????? why will Brighton be able to afford one

Looks to me that there is an interesting treble of mangers being sacked by the end of the season Bruce Solskaar Lampard

Yep we've never had a bad decision against us, never. About time our sporting sides had a rub of the green again. The freak 6 was amazing, to happen in a final as well. The catch on the rope was not luck for us but a lack of thinking by Boult, he must have known the rope was there but I suppose he was just thinking he was winning the match and forgot. New Zealand used their appeal up needlessly and so when they needed the chance to review it was gone. Their fault nobody else's IMO

'The desire to leave the Saints is one which he’s had since joining.' Nice Great research into the mentality of our players signing! He seems a mood playerand if Utd get him they will have another moody player who plays ok when it suits.

I think as a modern footballer FL does give a good example to the young and so feel bad that I expecthim to fail, but he does annoy me with that stupidlittle jumping thing in front of the fans

Lol, did you not see I was spelling it so that he could understand? I get a government grant to assist the stupid and misguided

I agree that adding a few pence is not that big a problem, but a few pence will not appease the people at the bottom of the chain. The far left want to squeeze until the pips pop out. I dont think it has been easy for people on the housing ladder even with low interest rates, the size of mortgage has increased and so whilst the interest is low that has been eaten up by bigger payments for the capital As for destroying the NHS I dont agree its happening, more money is pumped in all the time but it is just a big hole. Until it is reorganised to be a little more efficient we will see the service deteriorate. As or having Police on the streets, that is a cosmetic exercise, they have been in cars since the 60's not walked the beat. The culture of the young in the big cities will not talk or help the Police and so the villains are being protected, this leaves fear and a spiral of kids carrying weapons to protect themselves. We only have to look to look at the USA 20 years ago and this is what is in front of us in the next few years. It is depressing what a mess it all is

As I live near Salisbury I have seen what it has done to the area, to have the idiot saythat it was false upsets a tad

He would stand in front of a bullet to protect Putin. Never a gun when you need one.

Look at anyone in power of any political persuasion and they stash the cash in foreign accounts. If you move the deckchairs on the Titanic you get the same outcome, Russia after the revolution was a prime example. They drove past the normal people in their limos and had the high life. It is human nature you want the best you can have, sometimes at the expense of others. I wonder when I watch films of children in Africa and the Carribean and see how they are keen to go to school and learn and proud of wearing their smart uniforms, our kids!! Its pathetic, they go to school without the mindset to work or learn. Then when they dont have luxury lifestyles they are bitter. I will add I wasnt (as you will see with my grammar etc) that I was not that academic but that didnt stop me from working to make my life good for my family.

Why do seagulls have wings? To beat Pompey fans to scavange the dump

I thought he came to do a trial with us?? Die hardmay be a bit of a stretch. If JWP plays for us , Bobby Stokes as well Im sure a Chelsea reserve would if he was paid well. They are all mercenaries. I would have played for Pompey if they had wanted me to.

Women only have to play the best of 3 sets in tennis and men best of 5. The difference between the top 10in the womens game and the rest is massive, with many games going 6-1 6-1.No competition. At the end of the day, when womens football command 60k attendances week in and week out, that billions watch it, then their wages will go up accordingly but there is no way they deserve to be anywhere near a mans wage in this sport at this moment in time.( not that I believe many of the male footballers deserve the pay)

with their transfer ban Id be surprised if they lt him go, but.....

So whats the answer, make everyone the same? There is no law as far as Im aware of being self employed. Start your own business and see how easy it is to survive that way. I agree with Shurlock that there are many who have had the luck of being born into wealth and opportunity, but there are swathes of people who miss out in many parts of life to succeed in business. Sacrifices have been made, missing the kids growing up, not able to commit to social events, sleepless nights concerned that the staff were not going to be paid or where the next customer was going to come from. A lot of people who are successful now have put in the hard yards to get where they are, and so are rightly protective of that. Food banks area double edged sword where they were there to help the very needy I read somewhere has now become the norm and so people spend their money elsewhere and not on food as they have this free. Hence the food banks becoming more important. I dont have the answers to make society fairer ( whatever that is)but stop the wealth creators creating and watch how the rest fall quicker. Tax the top earners much more and the tax revenue will drop and you will see many leave to other countries where they are more welcome. France had a leader last time and he crucified the wealth creators and the French took a hit as their wealthier citizens upped sticks. We are heading for a big recession now anyway and so the wealthy will be poorer and the tax take will be less to share out with the poorer in society.

If everyone increases their wealth by 10% does it not mean someone on a million have a larger amount added to their wealth than someone on 10k ? If im right in that it stands to reason that the wealthier you are your pot grows bigger as time goes by. I agree that there should be ways to stop the superrich having tax loopholes but until we accept that it is better they pay some tax here rather than transfer it to another country we will always have this problem. The super rich are able to be mobile and so difficult to pin down. I think you will find that there is a meeting with the revenue where they sit down with some people of extreme wealth who negotiate how much they are going to pay, rather than get nothing.

A very good balanced post.

Hes a big tough guy by tryingtobeef upbut then runs to the Police. Its pretty pathetic. Anyway whats wrong with listening to the wife, I do but I dont listen in the true sense. I know that to be true as she tells me

you may not worry about the excess of waste on the BBC ,you may not pay for a licence as you may be over 75 and so not concerned but I detest the excesses. Why the fck do we need to have a helicopter landing on an oilrig platform in between programmes as a link, tht is just one example, hiring Kylie and the like advertising a programme . Imagine what those cost to produce. A few years ago they presented Top of the Pops from a European country that was staging the World Cup, I cant recall where it was now but again an absolute waste as you had the whole lot over there on a junket.

Abslutely bonkers how much these people are paid. Shearer is an ok pundit but 440kreally, Vanessa Feltz who listens to her. There are not lots of people knocking on the door for these people and so there is no need for these high salaries. I doubt the quality would change if the BBC hired unknowns on 100k Also the bloated BBC employing 1000 more staff with a lower amount of money in.

Stevie Wonder is the mechanic, so as usual all the bits will be there but not put back in the right places, and a load of crap left at the end that you dont know where it was meant for

I was having a chat with a barrister (social lol ) and he told me that London was the centre for corporate law, the French are now setting up their own courts that are English speaking so that they can woo this business away from the UK post brexit. All the UK will be fine and the City will be safe before the vote is becoming as true as the 350m on the side of a bus

What people seem to have not taken into account at Derby is that he scraped into the playoffs and that was with an array of loaned talent worth £150+ m . He had a few standout results and n the cups, but to be truthful against us we should have buried them. In the playoff game against Leeds when they were losing and looking out, he as forced to bring on a sub due to injury who changed th game, not due to managerial brilliance
